Here is Meloda, from the Darklands range of minis. I generally think of Mierce as a manufacturer of big crazy monsters (and that is definitely a thing that they are- stay tuned, I’ve got another to show off soon). But here is one of their human characters. From their line, she is probably the least ...

The zombie survivor brides and grooms are definitely the most popular of the cake toppers that I make, and I really love it when I get a chance to do a whole set together for combat. They really feel complete to me when the whole zombie battling scene plays out on the top tier of ...

Chibi miniatures have been making a big splash in the gaming world ever since Soda Pop first showed off their Super Dungeon minis at Gencon. Since then, they’ve grown into a whole style of miniatures that strongly contradicts the Grim and/or Dark traditions that so many miniature lines follow. I mean, they’re just so dang ...

Here is my take on Super Dungeon’s Vampiric boss fight. I painted him as a practice for doing really harsh top down lighting- but I realized a little too late that I had basically decided to blend all of his areas from black to white. I worked on him for quite some time, before giving ...

The kissing gamers seems to have become one of the most popular poses I’ve done for our brides and grooms. It figures, I guess. They’re so cute, and they fit in well with even the most traditional of wedding cakes while still adding that extra personality. Here are a few I’ve done recently. Of late, ...

Here is my Austrican from Relic Knights. The largest of the Shattered Sword Paladins, this mini was definitely one of my favorites from the Kickstarter. I had a lot of fun with his face- the harsh lines gave me plenty of room to make high contrast areas that really pop. He really has the same ...

Here is a cake topper that I made to match some MMO characters. These make some of the more complex characters I’ve created, as video games tend to have lots of detail on their clothing and weaponry. And I love making the elf ears. Here is a picture.

This might be my favorite mini to come out of the first of Reaper’s Kickstarters (he does have to compete with the likes of Wyrmgear and a few other beauties). I decided to color him in green to help emphasize the red portions on him. I don’t think it shows in the pictures, but the ...

So, I’m a miniatures guy, and I have a weekly RPG group. I generally love converting minis for our whole party. I don’t always get to do the whole thing, because there are other players who also love to convert and paint minis. This time around, however, I got to do a mini for each ...

I had a couple contact me and ask me to make the two of them into fantasy RPG characters for a cake topper. That sounded great to me, so I was all kinds of on board. Then they added- and we want to fight a dragon as well. Now, Cake Toppers aren’t the same scale ...
