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. ...

Here’s a couple who married outside of their respective wizarding houses (gasp!). Especially given that these two houses seem at odds more than most. I couldn’t post this one right after I finished it because both of them had kept their dresses secret (until the big day).

My entry at this year’s Reapercon was the Tyrant that I made for Chibi Kingdom Death. The Tyrant is probably my favorite Kingdom Death character (at least so far). His construction was fairly complex, using a combination of quite a few parts from various different minis, but none of them were prominent enough to be ...

Here is a miniature that I finished quite a while ago, but I never got around to posting him. He’s from Studio McVey’s stunning LE resin line (shame we haven’t seen anything new from it for a while). I painted him up for an RPG, and I think he came out rather nicely. For most ...

Here’s a very old Reaver Titan that I got to do recently. It was made by Armorcast way back in the day- and was essentially just an up-scaling of the old Epic scale titan from the time. That makes these old titans into a bit of a challenge. Just the size of the rivets and ...

When I started making cake toppers, the early ones were always about fighting off zombies. Since then, they’ve branched out quite a lot, but I tend to consider my client’s choices in terms of the zombie apocalypse. In this instance, I’d like to consider whether it is better to have a melee weapon or a ...

Here’s a commission that I did a while ago- these are quite a lot of ladies of Kingdom Death. I think most of them were resins (except the Black Friday Ninja). Kingdom Death does some fantastic sculpting and the concepts are always really interesting. While none of these were made to fit into the board ...

When I first started making geek wedding cake toppers, the very first requests that I had were to create zombies and survivors to fight them. Since then, I’ve done quite a lot of very different zombie apocalypse wedding cake toppers. I’m always interested to see what sort of weapons the bride and groom choose. The ...

Before I started making geek wedding cake toppers, I hadn’t thought much about where geek couples meet. There seem to be a good number of options now. I’ve now worked with quite a few couples that met playing online games- from Call of Duty to World of Warcraft. Personally, I figure that anywhere you might ...
