Make a Scene with your Wedding Cake Topper

Feb

24

2021

This particular cake topper was made with a battle in mind. They’re both facing the enemy- which I believe will be a dragon made largely of cake and frosting.There are a lot of creative things that people do with their cakes, and those aren’t always completely apparent when I show off the cake toppers by ...

Death High Love

2021

I figure I could post up something sweet for Valentine’s Day weekend, and here is the Death High Intimacy Couple from Kingdom Death.They’ve been releasing these high-school anime versions of the Kingdom Death characters in photoresin (3D prints). While I still prefer their normal hand poured resin, I do think that their prints come out ...

Dragons are great. We all know it. Whether we’d prefer to slay them, ride them or communicate telepathically with them, dragons are just great.I’m always happy when I get to include a dragon on one of the wedding cake toppers that I make. Here is one couple with their rather large dragon ally.This dragon is ...

Nukacola Classic

Jan

2021

Here are a couple great characters for Modiphius’ Fallout miniatures game that I got to paint up.The first one is the Nukacola girl- sort of a pinup girl used in advertising for the brand, so she’s wearing more makeup than most Fallout characters.The second is the alien. If you don’t recognize him from the game, ...

Green Firey Alpha Legion

Jan

2021

The Alpha Legion has always been an interesting group to paint, with the official colors already hard to pin down since they’re meant to be blue highlighted with green.For this relatively simple Alpha Legion group, I got to bring out some of their character by making the fires bright green.Since the placement of the fires ...

Tzolk’in Aztec Calandar

2021

This project was very different from most. This is the large center gear from Tzolk’in: The Aztec Calandar that I painted.While it is more of a relief sculpture than a traditional minaiture, it offered some interesting challenges.The center area is all freehand (due to the way that the gears fit on the board, that part ...

For Starcadia!

Dec

2020

I’ve continued on with Starcadia Quest miniatures, still using a sort of comic lineart style-bright colors with black outlining. I’ve especially loved the way that some of these remind me to create some Borderlands fanart in chibi.The style is loads of fun, and I really love how metabreaking it is when compared against some of ...

What Makes a Unique Cake Topper

Dec

2020

Most of what I like to do with the wedding cake toppers is include the things that are important and unique about the happy couple. What makes a cake topper special is how well it includes the things that make that couple unique and special.I am often very interested in matching the unique aspects of ...

Tank Basing

Dec

2020

While it is standard for most miniatures to be set on bases, for some reason, that doesn’t always apply to vehicles.Probably, gaming bases are seen as a necessity to allow troopers to stand up, so vehicles with treads or wheels that can exist without basing get a pass.But I have found that adding an uneven ...

Infant Sunstalker

2020

The campaign that comes with the Kingdom Death Suntalker expansion features the settlement of survivors helping to raise the offspring of the Sunstalker from infancy. It seems that the lifecycle of sunstalkers involves being nursed by survivors and eventually eating them when grown enough to set out.The art includes a few pictures of infant and ...
