I call this piece "Planet of the Apes" "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." My submission for @romanlappat.miniatureart #beyondyourimagination2 challenge. #miniaturepainting #miniature
First completed project of 2026. I would like to thank January for being 6 months long and my desperate need to dissociate for a few hours every night. Also 🖕🧊 #miniaturepainting #whiterabbit #madhatter #squig #goblin
So long, 2025! It was a great year for painting, and I’d like to thank everyone here for the likes and comments! Hoping to make more fun things, get better, and find more like minded weirdos in 2026! Cheers! #miniature #miniaturepainting #artistvsart2025
Not sure how on earth I thought this was gonna get done by Christmas. But I finished 13, which I think is pretty good. Only a bazillion more to go. #heman #motu #minipainting #miniature
Clamp champ, Rokkon, and Man-e-Faces. Painting the Masters of the Universe board game figures for my brother in law. 3 down, 50 something to go. I can finish this by Christmas, right?! 🤣 #motu #miniature #miniaturepainting
A sneaky little kobold. Painted for the #pathfinder quest painting competition via @myminifactory Go pick up the free model and paint this cute little assassin yourself! #kobold #miniature #miniaturepainting #3dprinting
Flame Atronach from @elderscrolls call to arms tabletop game by @modiphius. I painted her in my hotel while on a work trip, which was a challenge but fun. Turns out black pants make a good backdrop, in a pinch. #miniature #miniaturepainting
Every year, I decorate the trunk of our car for Halloween at my kids school. This year, it was a dragon made almost entirely of garbage (cardboard boxes and plastic containers) and hot glue. Say hello to Trash Dragon. I’m kinda proud of this one.
Gourdon and the gourdettes. Model by dragon trappers lodge, painted for their monthly contest (and for fun) #miniaturepainting #halloween
Who wants to play some DnD?! Because something wicked came in the mail today… #Dnd #TTRPG #Thecrookedmoon #legendsofavantris
Finally got back to it. I think this is better, with really dark shadows vs actual black lines. It’s a little messy, but good enough for table top. Thoughts? #miniaturepainting #motu #he-man #man-e-faces
This is Man-E-Faces, the first of MANY figures from the Masters of the Universe board game. Going for a more cell shaded animated look like the original cartoon from the 80s. Thoughts? Constructive criticism welcome. #MOTU #miniaturepainting #miniature #He-man
My newest #Dnd character, Wulfred Blackclaw, a bugbear bard. Finished painting him up last night and somehow survived the Death House today. #miniature #miniaturepainting #curseofstrahd
I forgot to post gencon stuff. Much fun was had, and it kicked off an insanely busy august. New projects soon… #gencon #daggerheart #criticalrole #miniaturepainting
A few more of sun baby before we move on to the next project. Thanks for all the love for these creepy little monsters! #miniature #minipainting #diorama #teletubbies
I can’t believe I spent time doing this. More so, I can’t believe how happy it makes me 👶👼 #miniaturepainting #diorama #baby #sun
This model is cursed. After a week of late nights painting, I decided to spray varnish, which covered it in white specks. So instead of submitting last night as planned, I tried to salvage it. An hour of editing photos this morning only to realize I missed the deadline by 1 hour. 🙄 #minipainting
Woke up to a lovely surprise this morning!
The #MechaMay winners are here! 2/4 #gunpla #miniature #Warhammer #scalemodel
In honor of its 30th anniversary, last nights #miniandamovie was #totalrecall. Emoji summary at the conclusion of the video.
I finished! Only had to repaint it twice 🤪 I learned that painting flat surfaces is very difficult, white paint is very difficult, and green static grass looks vibrantly neon when you photograph it. #mechamay #miniature #mecha #minipainting
I’ve never made a road before. It’s silly how happy this makes me! Also I stole kinetic sand from my children to make gravel, hence the blue. This is what I do when everyone else is sleeping 😂 #miniature #minipainting #diorama #mecha
