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 ...

Here is a human team for Blood Bowl that I got to paint a little while ago. I’ve always been very fond of Blood Bowl, and I really love the new human team (although I can’t help but consider using them as Mauraders for a Chaos Pact team).

I really love the variety of concepts that I get to create in wedding cake toppers. In this instance, my client had a Victorian theme in mind. I guess it is because the old Chaosium game had a Victorian setting option, I really think of this couple as fighting Cthulhu. To be perfectly fair, I ...

When some warlocks and warcasters go epic, they don’t change all that much. This is not the case with Thagrosh, who seems to be slowly transforming into a full on dragon. For this project, my client wanted me to create a very different look for Thagrosh. I pitched him a couple ideas, and he really ...

We all have our fandoms, and here’s a particular one that I haven’ been able to pay homage to before. Here’s a couple that look like they might be escaping one of the more dangerous facilities in the universe. It has been really fun to work on some of these cosplayer sets that where the ...

Here are two more Chibi conversions I made of Kingdom Death characters. These are the first two that I made that weren’t for my own collection. I’m still quite fond of how they turned out, and I kind of wish I’d gotten to keep them (I might have to remake them later).

When I first started planning a Chibi Kingdom Death project, I looked at all of the expansion monsters and considered which ones would just work well with chibis. I concluded that Spiderlings were already mostly head- so they’d work perfectly with almost no changes. For Spidicules herself, I just had to replace the dead survivor ...
