(He/They) Trans ND multimedia artist who really likes painting miniatures. Currently focusing on clearing the eternal backlog and having a fun time doing it! You can check out my gallery of completed work here
Caaaapes! Love the red but my god was it difficult to get an even coat between the legs. Next time I’ll wait to glue them on the base if I remember lol
I got all caught up in how my pictures look that I keep forgetting to post my finished stuff. Here’s my Custodes Shield-Capitan sans some transfers for future campaigns! #warhammer #horusheresy #miniatures #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #nerdlings
At least I can say that I tried. Turns out these paints don’t like 90% humidity
I forgot Goodsprings! It’s about 8 miles off the 15 from Jean so I didn’t go by it this time. It’s a lot smaller than the game makes it look, but the people there are lovely and hold a New Vegas get together every year
Last one I got is the Highway Patrol near the NCR checkpoint where the statues are in game. I didn’t see Nipton so I assume the Legion got to it lol. In the before time this was a checkpoint to confiscate invasive plants and seeds from entering CA but that means paying people & that ain’t happening
Unlike Lucky 38, the Strat is a rundown pit on the North end. They have the cool revolving restaurant but I wouldn’t risk the possibility of being accosted by a man in a checkered suit.
RIP Primm you’ll always be known as the worst Starbucks I’ve ever been to. This place looks fun but was an absolute nightmare. It had the most expensive gas I’ve ever seen plus the rollercoaster was always shut down due to high winds (and it’s 105 rn). Too bad it’s turning into a dumb distro hub :(
Check out this sick dragonfly that landed near me. I’ve never seen light refract off of their wings before
The Spirit of Christmas compelled me to paint my Black Gobbo last month. Up to this point it’s the most intricate freehand I’ve done, especially on the 40k/aos packaging. When the holidays roll around I’ll make a diorama or matte painting to really show off the details
I’m back baby! Finally sat down and took the time to figure out a new photography setup so I can confidently post again! Mushroom dude came out well and I feel a lot more confident now that the pics look like the model irl. #miniaturepainting #nerdlings
Painted this little mushroom dude as an excuse to step away from trim for a moment. If I did the neons right it should glow like a mini golf course under blacklight
The standouts are God Hand and Persona 2 at around $200 each and the rest are at least double msrp. I have no connection to any of these games and would much rather use the money to support small artists and to be able to afford shipping for art trades
I rarely do batch painting but they all have the same armor sans small details and I’d like to get something done in a reasonable time for once
I asked for giant women and they delivered! And she can be played in 40K!
My favorite Marine is ‘Brother Fuck It’ from the Rogue Trader front cover
Almost done, just need to throw on some transfers and I’ll start batch painting the rest!
The final assembly came out lovely. Still got a lot of fine detail to pick out but I’m getting somewhere
Use one mini to promote your page Bringing back Christmas Rat since it’s the community favorite! #nerdlings
I really like this cape. Usually I have to clean up the highlights but the details are deep enough that the contrasts didn’t bleed out of the recesses
I had a hobby day last night and got a good layer of white down on the armor. I meant to find a tutorial for the sword but I think I’ve outgrown the videos on the gw painting app and youtube just leaves me frustrated. Otherwise I love her, just ignore the giant seam line that I missed entirely lol
First little bit on the body is going very well. Ever since the nightmare of a mini that was Aster Crohne I’ve gained a lot more appreciation towards the designers and engineers that can make high detail work accessible to everyone that isn’t a masochist like me.
The new plastic kits are so crisp and easy to clean up. It’s really nice to paint forgeworld quality stuff without fighting resin flash. Crossing my fingers that the rest goes this well
Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I got cake and Custodes which is everything I wanted. Can’t wait to torture myself by painting the armor white
I slapped together this Necromunda tentacle today as a color test since I don’t paint with a lot of purple. Gotta get crafty with the paints I have left
