One of the best parts of this week was undoubtedly finishing the Goblin King. Much like Atlas taking the world off his shoulders, it was like a burden had been lifted! Here’s a look at the final results with some thoughts on painting him to follow. One of the things that I failed to mention … Continue reading MESGB – Goblin King Done and “Pancakes” Hellboy
I’m still slogging away at the King and am mostly updating this week because I have some hobby musings I’d like to share and less because I want to show off something that’s finished. If this week proved anything to me, it is that I’m not cut out to be a commission painter. I’ve never … Continue reading MESBG – Goblin King I
Its good to be back after some time away. As is usually the case when I skip a week, there’s a bit more to talk about than usual as a result too. First up, I guess I might as well explain why I was gone. To celebrate my 40th birthday, I went to Omaha, Nebraska … Continue reading Monsterpocalypse – Spitter – Alternate Colors
While it was frequently delayed (not unlike Gandalf in the books now that I think about it), I was able to wrap up the diorama this week. With creative works, I think you can be too close to what you make and start to lose perspective on it. With this one, I probably have been … Continue reading MESBG – The Bounder’s Duty Diorama
I’m happy to report that this past week was much better. I got some forward momentum on the diorama and have a few things to show off. First up, I finally got to put my green stuff and tools to work and patched up this little guy. Can you see any rough spots or where … Continue reading MESBG – A Shirriff joins the fray
Its a special double-stuffed update this week as I’ve had two weeks of painting saved up. It was kind of hard to pick a title since I worked on two different projects. Let’s start with Hellboy though and say our farewell to the frogs. I finished the last four frogs in the box. I tried … Continue reading Hellboy – The Frogs’ Last Croak
I wanted to start off by sharing the “final” photos of my Hobbit diorama and a few thoughts on making my first diorama too. I say “final” because one day I’m sure I will upgrade my camera because the one I have is approaching being ten years old and it does struggle a bit with … Continue reading The Master’s Favorite Holiday – Tax Day Diorama
Well to say that it has been an interesting week in the United States would be an understatement. I went to bed Tuesday night reluctantly and with a lot of concern and have been feeling better and better about election news as time has gone on. Hopefully the chaos, bad behavior, and poor leadership in … Continue reading The Master of Laketown and Diorama are nearly done
I have mostly been working on a single miniature this week and while I’ve made some good progress, it wouldn’t really make for an interesting update so I thought I’d tackle a topic that I don’t talk about or show off very much on my site. I’ve had the idea of exploring this for a … Continue reading Learning From Hobby Failures
Wait! Come back! I promise this won’t be as boring as it sounds! Its true I somehow ended up working on two different projects for two different games that both involve inanimate objects. While I’m hardly one of the old masters painting a still life, I think I do have some decent work to show … Continue reading More Thoughts on Painting Inanimate Objects
