I really love it anytime I get to paint those beautiful miniatures from Kingdom Death: Monster.The Kingsman was no exception. While is pose is stoic rather than dynamic, the details on the armor just sang out.My client wanted to make sure that he wasn’t too dark (with Kingdom Death miniatures, it is pretty easy to ...

I’ve made quite a few wedding cake toppers over the years depicting various different takes on the end of the world.  Sometimes, the bride and groom are survivors of the Zombie Plague, sometimes they’re ready to scavange a meager existence on an irradiated, mutant infested planet, and sometimes they even are the zombies.My very first ...

I’ve been playing Stuffed Fables lately- it is quite a nice dungeon crawler. One of the things that drew me to the game were the fantastic miniatures. Most of them are in that sweet spot between cute and creepy that comes out just brilliant. When I’m painting my own sets of minis, I tend to ...

Over the years, I find that certain fandoms have really dominated the wedding cake toppers that I’ve made. The first ones I did were all about the Zombie Apocalypse (I even got to make a topper for actors who met on the set of a George Romero film). Since then, I’ve seen fewer toppers that ...

Here is our current adventuring party for Iron Kingdoms. We started a new campaign shortly after Reapercon, so I was able to make use of several of the convention minis. This party is quite an odd mix of races. Lately, I’ve been quite fond of having a semi-cohesive color pallet for our adventuring parties. The ...

Here we have another starting class- the Quatryl Tinkerer, While he is mostly made out of green stuff, there are bits from a Reaper Bones Kobold underneath there. And a few of the monsters- Harrowers and Ancient Turrets: The Harrowers were made by taking the Mr. and Ms. Bones hoods and putting them on various ...

This is the Damien mini from Midknight Heroes upcoming Kickstarter (this is a 3D print of him that I got to paint). With his whole demon aesthetic, I decided that he might fit with my Kingdom Death set. So I made him a face base, and painted him in the color scheme of the Dark ...

Lately, I’ve been playing Gloomhaven quite a bit, and I decided that it is a game that could use some Chibi minis to replace the hundreds of standees that come in the box. Thankfully, most Gloomhaven enemies match minis that I’ve already got in chibi form (Zombies, Skeletons, human archers, slimes, etc). But for the ...

Over the years, I’ve worked with a lot of couples with a lot of diverse fandoms. Admittedly, I’m not always a fan of the things that my clients are, but I still love that they can find expression through one of my cake toppers. But there definitely has been one combination that seems to be ...

In my quest to create all things Chibi Kingdom Death, once in a while, there’s a minis that just fits as is. Such as this fantastic tribute to Kingdom Death’s Flower Witch Disciple sculpted by Heriberto Valle of Capsule Chibi. Capsule Chibi creates files for 3D printing, so I had mine printed by Impact! Miniature. ...
