My Iron Kingdoms RPG group sometimes can’t hold back. When we saw that Borka: Vengeance of the Rimshaws was riding a polar bear… well, we had to figure out how that might work for us. Luckily, we have a very good GM who is willing to make up some rules in the name of Awesome. ...

Here is a cake topper for a couple who wanted to look like fantasy characters from an MMO. These are some of the most complex works I create- especially since the groom here is non-human (and barely humanoid). Here are two angles on the happy couple:

Here is a Dreamer Avatar that I got to paint a little while ago. All together, I think he came out rather well- the detail on the mini is really neat, and the concept is simply outstanding. Honestly, this mini was terrific to paint, and my only complaint about it is that Wyrd discontinued it ...

Perhaps more than any other primarch, Sanguinius lightened up the imaginations of many hobbyists. I’ve seen a tremendous number of conversion of the Blood Angel’s primarch, and a good number of original sculpts as well. This is a mini that I got to paint just a little while ago that I was to make look ...

When I first started painting miniatures, lighting wasn’t a thing that people did with miniatures. OSL hadn’t bee invented yet, fire was painted with the deepest red at the center, and people didn’t consider a light source when they highlighted their minis. Miniatures were only painted to emphasize their shape- recesses are shaded, and highlighting ...

One of my clients shared this picture of how their wedding cake turned out with the two characters and dragon that I made for them. I think these two had a totally awesome cake, so I really wanted to show it to everyone.

The most popular theme for the wedding cake toppers that I make are still zombie survivors. Often, my clients come up with some really strange assortments of weaponry, but you really can’t go wrong with the classics. Here are a few that have chosen to go with guns. We’ll start out with the one dressed ...

The back to back couples remain the most popular of the cake toppers that I make, and the couples I work with come up with some very creative things for their weaponry. Here are a few couples with some rather powerful weapon loadouts.

One thing I’ve learned throughout the years is that there are very few things in life that cannot be improved by adding ninjas. Here are three couples who have, evidently, learned this same lesson.

Here is my rendition of the evil elf (also dark hero) for Super Dungeon Explore. Chibis like this are loads of fun to paint. My concept for her color scheme was to make her a Nyss. I used Cylena Raefyll’s colors as a starting point, and went from there. Overall, I think she looks good ...
