Painting Update: Female Human Barbarian
Dear Readers, I’m still working on some commissions for a buddy of mine. This time, it’s a female human barbarian. Frankly she looks pretty fierce. But I guess that’s the point. In any case, she’s going to be a little bit of a challenge, as she stands on one foot on the mini stand. Here’sContinue reading “Painting Update: Female Human Barbarian”
Painting Update: Winter Wolf
Dear Readers, like most everything lately for this Blog, I haven’t done one of these for awhile. But it’s back! I was given a few commissions and I have been severely remiss in showing you all (and the person who is paying me to do them!) my progress as I paint. It doesn’t help thatContinue reading “Painting Update: Winter Wolf”
Finally, It’s Gone (We Think…)!
Dear Readers, We think we’ve gotten rid of the skunk. This is a wonderful thing as the air conditioning is able to be turned back on! Therefore, I was able to get some more painting done. You cannit imagine how much nicer it is in the southern heat having A/C. But I digress. Since theContinue reading “Finally, It’s Gone (We Think…)!”
Painting Update: Crystal Dragonborn Ranger
Dear Readers, I am taking a break from the Spelljammer ship. It’s been really painstaking, and instead of being a calming activity, painting the ship has become a chore and a stressor. Therefore, I’m working on another project: a friend’s dragonborn ranger. Here she is, post priming: I chose a white primer, as opposed toContinue reading “Painting Update: Crystal Dragonborn Ranger”
Painting Update: Elven Spelljammer Ship
Just a quick update on the progress of the ship! Here are some pictures: As you can see, the work on the bottom, the fins and exception, are done.

What a Day!
So I have been painting and painting and painting on my new ship! It’s coming along very nicely. I’m so excited to eventually showcase it to my players once it is complete. I’m equally hoping that, when the campaign progresses to that point, the Spelljammer stuff has officially premiered. I may just have to wingContinue reading “What a Day!”

Product Review and Unboxing: Army Painter Speedpaints (Starter Set)
Dear Readers, they finally came in! I am so very excited, you cannot imagine. So I picked up a random mini, an elven cleric, and I began painting. The results were… slightly disappointing. First, let’s talk about what came in the box: As you can see, you get 10 different colors. I was a littleContinue reading “Product Review and Unboxing: Army Painter Speedpaints (Starter Set)”

Oh boy, Dear Readers, do I have a surprise for you! I have completed it, and he’s beautiful. A masterpiece. I am SO proud of the job I’ve done on this miniature.

Miniature Painting Update: Lizardfolk Ranger Commission
Dear Readers, I have put my Elven Bladesinger on hold so that I may instead work on a new commission of which I was requested of yesterday. It is, as the title of this post says, a lizardfolk ranger.

Painting Update: Elven Wizard and a Call For Assistance
Yes, this post technically posted yesterday, but by mistake. Here it is in all its glory… Dear Readers it occurred to me that I have been referred to an elf in armor with a sword as a wizard. This is because she is my Elven Bladesinger. I may or may not have said this. ButContinue reading “Painting Update: Elven Wizard and a Call For Assistance”
Painting Update: Elven Bladesinger and New Etsy Purchase
Deer eaters, just a short Sunday post about what I’ve got going on. Let’s start with the Etsy Purchase. A freaking castle: It’s beautiful, isn’t it? It actually comes apart in layers for the players to adventure inside. I bought it from Centrion3D. I love their stuff, even if it is a little pricey. IContinue reading “Painting Update: Elven Bladesinger and New Etsy Purchase”
Painting Update: Gundarr the Barbarian (but only sort of…)
Dear Readers, welcome to yet another Painting Update! Here is the barbarian I’ve been working on.
