Mark this day in your calendars, I got not one but two miniatures done in a week. I can’t recall the last time I managed that other than batch painting or cheating by painting some really tiny minis. Regardless, the first one I finished is Lilith the Fallen Angel from Kingdom Rush. In the video … Continue reading Kingdom Rush & Hellboy – Lilith and Johann
While I tried my best to get another update done for the weekend, it wasn’t to be. I had an out of town funeral to attend with my wife that I just got back from last night. I seem to have survived my first visit to Dallas though I’m glad to be safely back in … Continue reading Hellboy – Baba Yaga
With a title like that, I will try not to waste any time on a lengthy introduction. I painted a new Hellboy miniature for the first time in a long time and I’m also officially ready for Planet of the Apes miniatures to finally be made after finishing this one. Truthfully, this is a simple … Continue reading Hellboy – Does that Chimp have a gun!?
This week I painted up all of the Sinister Birds for Hellboy Board Game. These were tricky to come up with a color scheme for. Originally, I wanted to paint them like purplish ravens, mostly because I really wanted to use the title of “Quoth the Raven Never’more”. I also feel that Mike Mignola has … Continue reading Hellboy – Hitchcock’s Pets
Let’s start with some good news this week and then we can discuss the not so good. Hellboy is finally done. It didn’t take as long as a typical display piece does but three weeks on a single miniature is still plenty of time and I have to admit that I’m looking forward to painting … Continue reading Wild Hunt Hellboy is Done
This week’s update is action-packed with triumphs, humiliations, and lots of pictures. First up, I have made a fair amount of progress on Hellboy this week. I think it might be useful for me to do a side-by-side comparison image of last week to this week. Here is what the front of the mini from … Continue reading More Hellboy, New Acquisitions, and a Miserable Room Tour
Forget the drama of Harry, Charles, and William. The real King of Britain is here! That’s right, Hellboy gets that title in the Wild Hunt volume of the comics, which happens to be one of my favorites. And that is the inspiration for the sculpt I’m working on comes from. It also happens to be … Continue reading Hellboy – King of Britain
This past week, I hit a brick wall on the Witch King miniature I’ve been working on for this year’s Golden Demon. As a result, I am no longer going to work on the project with an eye towards entering it in a painting competition. I will explain why and some lessons I’ve learned along … Continue reading Making and Learning From Competition Painting Mistakes
Let’s get the unpleasant news out of the way first. Not too long ago I mentioned the threat of layoffs and well, they happened pretty much out of nowhere this week. I was lucky to not be affected by them but the whole experience was pretty jarring to say the least. The company I work … Continue reading Hellboy – Roger Returns and More Website Metrics
Its good to be back after taking a week off. There’s plenty to talk about so I won’t waste any time. The first thing I got done was another caveman. Like the previous two, these minis don’t take long at all to paint so it was nice to get another done quick. I showed off … Continue reading Savage Core and Hellboy – Neanderthals and a Homunculus
