that's it, that's all there is here
My friend and local GW manager wanted a model painted by me for his collection before I move away, so this is the last commission I'm doing while still living here in Germany! He's given me complete artistic freedom with this one, except the base which he will be painting to match his Slaves to … Continue reading Commission: Mindstealer Sphiranx
There are a ton of ways to approach painting space marines beyond the standard Games Workshop method, this is one which I find a lot more freeing and enjoyable. It's not the only, or even the primary way that I paint up my space marines, but I recently painted two Intercessors as gifts using this … Continue reading Painting Intercessors: Wet-in-Wet
Harlequins are one of those model kits that I think every mini painting enthusiast thinks about painting at some point. They're so dynamic, and just detailed enough to be interesting while still leaving plenty up for interpretation, stellar design work on by GW. I've had the itch for a long time, but I never got … Continue reading Painting Tron-Inspired Harlequins
When I saw Sergio Calvo's Hirelings of Asura kickstarter I knew I had to back it, even if only for the video tutorials. However, the miniatures themselves were incredible too, with one of them bearing a striking resemblance to a character I've played for years in D&D. That was Tsukigoro, but the sculpt was so … Continue reading Tsukigoro / Momak

After painting the last few models of my recent High Elf army commission with yellow robes I got a taste for it and I wanted to paint something of my own in that scheme. This miniature fit the … Continue reading Robot in Yellow
The Brief: A friend of mine asked me to paint up his High Elf army, which was already built but not looking great due to being a mishmash of ebay purchases and the like. Most models had mold lines, some are broken or falling apart, etc... What he asked for was a decent looking paintjob … Continue reading Project Log: High Elf Commission
Sometimes a model is just so inspiring that I have to have it in my collection. Aglaé was one of those for me, I smiled the second I saw her and I had a vision of exactly what I wanted to do. It took me a while to finally get around to starting this project, … Continue reading Aglaé
After discovering that the one and only Roman Lappat offers painting workshops only 30 minutes away from my home I had no excuse not to sign up! So this last weekend I finally attended a 3 day Beginner's Workshop in Augsburg, Germany. Over the course of the workshop I learned an incredible amount about base … Continue reading I went to a painting workshop!
Sources & Inspiration: Marc Chee and his Inky Boyz, Mike Cousins of Epic Duck Studios, the awesome Borderlands inspired Tau by Ork Paintboy, and a lifetime filled with comics and cartoons Now I am far from an expert but I have painted a few different minis in this sort of style, which also gets called … Continue reading ‘Comic Style’ Painting
After a great conversation with a friend of mine I decided it would be nice to spend some time thinking about my history with this hobby. Since every interview with painters seems to cover this topic, I figure it should make for a good blog post. At the moment there have been three clear turning … Continue reading My Painting Journey
