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
As promised last week, I thought I’d get to work on some Fallout terrain because I’m trying to follow a self-imposed rule of getting some new terrain done between each game to keep me motivated while steadily building up my terrain collection. So I kind of cheated and picked out a piece of terrain that … Continue reading Fallout – Another Junk Collection
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
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
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
Actually the whole week in terms of hobbying has been challenging this time around which is part of the reason I’m posting an article a bit later than usual. Let’s take a closer look at what has been going on. One of the big things I’ve been working on this week is this rug for … Continue reading Painting Rugs – Harder Than You’d Think
