Garden Ninja Studios

A few years ago, I decided to run an Iron Kingdoms D20 campaign in which our characters were all epic giants (from Bemoth) who were fighting against the godlike dragons that the world features. It took me a while to find dragon minis that were big enough to be IK dragons- they’re all larger than ...

Ok, I’m a huge fan of the Chibi miniatures that we’ve been seeing from Soda Pop and Impact! I really love painting them up- the style is so new and refreshing. So, I’ve been excited every time I’ve seen a preview of the Mega Man miniatures from Jasco. Well, they’re done with those previews, and ...

Here is a Games Workshop Minotaur mini that I converted to play Blood Bowl. The colors match the rest of the Chaos team he plays with. Here he is:

The theme today seems to be swords. I have a few friends who had swords at their weddings (it is traditional to arm the best man, to warn off would be kidnappers). Unfortunately, they were all married before I started making cake toppers. There are so many different kinds of swords one could bring (either ...

This couple had me create cake toppers to look like MMORPG characters. I love these kinds of original ideas, and the elf ears add a lot of fun. Have a look.

Gamezone has been making some pretty nice fantasy minis for years, and have a pretty large line of minis to their name. Apparently, they’ve secured the rights to produce Heroquest ...

Here are two cake toppers that I completed a little while ago. The theme today is kissing, and I have two intimate pieces here, each with their own twist. We have the kissing Gamers: And the Kissing Zombies:

Well, I posted up my squad Lorenzo as I painted them up. But when I finished off Squad Gideon, they didn’t get photographed right away. So, here they are. I had a bit of a block going into this set, as I wanted to have something subtle show the difference between the two squads, without ...

Here is a Romantic Ninja cake topper I created a little while ago. I really love to see some of the details that my customers find for me to match. Here, I think it was the shoes that really excited me. And ninjas are always fun too.

I blame the Walking Dead for pointing out just how good it is to kill zombies quietly. At least, I’m pretty sure that’s where the crossbows come from: But there’s also a group that prefers the traditional bow and arrow approach (I think Katniss showed us how deadly that can be). Also quite good at ...
