Early release: Twisted Tales!

Enjoy this little trick I use when coming up with color schemes!

Behind the Scenes #50

What up, mini family?!

In this week, I worked on another video sponsored by a Kickstarter, one called "Twisted Tales". I painted a model called a Dional Beast.

This model was pretty nuts looking. I don't normally paint monsters so this is bit of an area of discomfo...

Early release!

Another live-painting video of some OSL! Enjoy!

What up, mini family?! This week has been a long week of editing video. I edited an episode of the podcast, so now we have 3 under wraps before we even go live! It's helpful to build up a little bit of a cache of videos so we're not scrambling to shoot and edit things. This episode will be about the question "is airbrushing c...

Suggest some video topics!

As previously discussed, I want to do a video that's driven by my patron's ideas. So, here's a form for you to give me some topics you'd like to see me make videos on! We'll vote later on which one I do.

Extended video!

Here's another extended video of the early release. You get to see extra footage of me pushing paint around.

Early release!

In this early release we're painting up some foresty figures for D&D!

What up, mini family?!

This past week has been a lot of fun and a lot of work. Firstly, I worked on and finished a video for a Kickstarter run by a company called Krakenships. It's a company that makes models for D&D. They sent along a forest guardian miniature for me to paint.

A new patreon reward

I'm thinking about adding a reward that goes something like this: "Once a month, one of my Friday videos will be a patreon suggested one which will be about a topic that you guys pick for me and vote on each month. I'll take 4-5 of the suggestions and toss a poll on my patreon."

I like this, because it gives me a regu...

Early release!

Here's another basing video, hope you enjoy!

What up, mini family?! 

I hope you're all doing well. I've been a busy bee in my basement. I recently had Jon over for another podcast recording session and we knocked out 2 more episodes and some other extraneous video content one needs for a youtube channel.

Early release!

Decided to get a little meta this week. Let me know what you think!

What up, mini family?! 

I didn't make a BTS post last week because it was pretty simple. I painted a Warcry figure for this Friday's release and then I went to NYC to visit my sister with my wife.

Black Metal Beanie Update

By now everyone who should have received a beanie should have one. If you were a Dark Wizard patron back in May approximately and I missed you, let me know and I'll sort you out!

Early release!

Here's a video painting some new warcry minis from GW and going over some of my high impact low effort weathering tips. I haven't finished the thumbnail or description yet!

My first ever extended video!

What up, mini family?! Got another post for you this lovely Friday. You may be aware that recently we discussed possible rewards to replace the $10 miniature giveaway. I put a poll up and you guys seemed to like extended videos the most, so here's a sample  for you guys! 

If I'm being honest, I don't think the...

Early release! SPACEE MARRINESSSS!

What up, mini family?! This Friday I have for you another installment in my speed painting series of videos but this time we're upping the ante: we're trying to blast out these guys in 30 minutes or less!

Behind the Scenes #45

What up, mini family?!

As most of you probably know already, I spent most of the 2nd half of last week and monday this week finishing up my Tau commission and creating the video for it. I also created an extended version of the video that includes more painting video that will publish tomorrow at 12PM CST for everyone t...

Early release!

Here's the video that was supposed to go out on Friday. Note: I've also edited an extended version of this video that's uploading right now. I'll release it on Friday for all the patrons to see (but not publicly on youtube). 

Question for you guys!

I have a lot of Dark Wizard/Sepulchral Guard patrons to shout out because I've be slackin' on that reward (couldn't find a good video to integrate it into) but now I have a few coming up. Would you rather me do them all in 1 video (turned out to be saying names for 5 minutes or so), or split them up over approximately 3 video...

Behind the Scenes #44

What up, mini family?! This past week I took a bit of a break. I went home to visit my family as my brother who lives in Israel was there and I hadn't seem him for 2.5 years.  On my way there, however, I was packing up the black metal beanies!

Congratulations, Tony Cosens!

You won the creature caster model! 

This will likely be the last give away we do. Right now I'm working on the first ever extended edition video for $10+ patrons. We'll see how you guys like it and then we'll switch over i...

Funko Pop Early release!

I paint this big headed space marine! Also..I discovered the liquify tool in photoshop...I think I may be addicted.

What up mini family?! I can't believe I haven't showed you this picture yet, but here's the vampire all assembled!

It's crazy that this project has gone from idea, to concept, to sculpt, to cast. It's here in my hands! There are a few kinks to work out and then we can be...

Early release!

Here' that video I mentioned in BTS post!

Behind the Scenes #42

What up, mini family?!

I think I missed last week's post. It was pretty uneventful. Because I was a full 2 weeks ahead of my public release schedule, I spent the entire week assembling and converting a Knight Titan for a commission I have going on right now. Here are some of the more notable conversions:

New benefit for $10 patrons, you vote!

Hey guys! Recently I reached out to you asking about ideas for what you'd like to see replace the miniature give-away reward for the $10 tier, and it seemed like there was a bit of a divide, so let's put it to the vote! 

Early release!

I didn't think 6 videos about photography was enough on my channel. Need more! 

Not really an early release

Skill Share reached out to me to do a sponsorship but had this really fast timeline, so I had to forgo releasing the zenithal undercoat one for this one. I had originally thought to put the adspot in the zenithal video, but it kind of killed the flow of that video which I worked really hard to maintain, so I quick made this o...

What up, mini family?! Long time, no chat. There's a reason for that: I just came back from a week long vacation in Banff, a beautiful national park in Alberta, Canada!

We brought the dogs with and it was a great deal of fun. B...
