When I saw this particular mini, I really couldn’t help but think of him as Willy Wonka. And what’s to do after that aside from create a groovy little diorama to match? His arms are also re-sculpted because I don’t think that Willy needed a weapon

The Geek Wedding Cake Toppers that I make started out when a couple asked me if I could create Zombies for them, and then the happy couple fighting off the zombies. This continues to be a strong theme for weddings- sometimes I also create zombies climbing the cake (often made to look like bridesmaids and ...

Here are a couple of fun little minis I painted up from The Forgotten King set. I’m not sure that there’s much more to say about them. The NMM was fun:

Sometimes the geek wedding cake toppers that I make follow a single theme (zombie survivors, post apocalypse etc). But sometimes the bride and groom follow different themes to show their diverse interests. Here are a few cake toppers that dhow the brides’ and grooms’ various fandoms:

Here are a few more gladiators from Arena Rex that I’ve had a chance to paint up. These three come from the very diverse ends of the Arena Rex setting. First up is Stheno, the eldest of the Gorgon sisters: Next we have a more Celtic styled character. She’s a little hard to photograph, due ...

Here are the two strangest monsters from their lineup- the chimeric Proximo and the emaciated Wendigo. The only trouble I have with these pictures is that the gloss doesn’t show up (it works on ...

When I first started out making cake toppers, my first few clients had concepts that were all about the zombies. But since then, the wedding cake toppers have moved to where they express all sorts of unique geek themes. Here are a few of the other monsters I’ve created for cake toppers to fight (and ...

Here’s the start of a Harlequin force that I painted up for a client just a little while ago. This is the third full army of Harlequins I’ve painted, and each has had a very distinct and different color scheme concept. I really love doing Harlequin characters- the patterns are a lot of fun. For ...
