Hank from the 80's Dungeons and Dragons cartoon

-



 This is from a set of miniatures i purchased a few months ago (maybe close to a year now?!) that contains all the heroes (plus Dungeon Master) from the 1980's Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. This is Hank. 

I did this one in an afternoon, in between letting the paint dry on the other miniatures i'm working on. None of the mini's in this set have much detail. But hey - they're based on an old kids cartoon that didn't really have much detail either. I do wish the face was a little more "young" looking. This sculpt makes him look like a rugged brute instead of a 17 year old teenager.

Elisabeth Wattson - Thundercoil Cities

I spent a  lot  of time on these miniatures. Remember when i said i needed to take better photos? Well, i decided to grab my wife for this one, and she did  not  disappoint. Thanks Luann! I picked up one of the loot studios sci-fi bundles because i really loved the look of this miniature. It's titled "Elisabeth Wattson". It's from the Loot Studios Sep 2023 "Thundercoil Cities" bundle. Background - why do this mini, and why do all three? When i first saw this miniature i was very excited. I was in the middle of some other steampunk minis and thought this would be a great addition. However, when i printed up the 32mm version, the face was "melted". So i tried again, and it didn't work either (i can't remember what went wrong on the 2nd print). So i tried a third time. And yes ... it also had a print failure, and some of the details were muddy. I think it's less about my printer/settings, and more about the miniature. I've not had issu

My Painting journey, 1990's - 2023

Where to begin?  To go all the way to the beginning would require going back to the late 1990's when i first began to paint miniatures. But that's a lot of time to cover, so let me summarize. I'm married, have a young child, and am working at the beginning of my career. Not a lot of free time. One of my old high school friends gets into painting miniatures. I think it looks fun, so i pick up a few supplies and try my hand at it. Here's the first mini that i painted (well, among the first. It's the oldest one i could find. It was gathering dust in an old storage container in the garage). Pretty terrible, right? Well, i thought it was amazing what you could do with just a few strokes of the brush. So i kept at it.  Unfortunately, due to trying to build my career, raising a family, etc, i didn't get much time to paint. So about once every 2-3 months i'd pick up the brush. Sometimes 6-9 months or even a year would go by without any painting. As you can imagine,

Alice in Wonderland

  As i was thinking about my next batch of miniatures, i decided it would be fun to paint a couple different Alice in Wonderland variations. I found several fun models and ultimately decided on three. I might come back and do some more in the future. Chibi Alice First up is "Chibi" Alice. Chibi refers to the exaggerated style with big heads and giant eyes (kind of like a bobble head). This particular sculpt is from Tanya Wiesner. You can find it here . For this, i decided to go for a simple, cartoon style paint job with bold, solid colors. Oh that poor teddy bear. I was trying to go for a "white rabbit" look, but it just looks like a half-painted mess. I should have just gone with a nice brown. Next time... Bad Bad Alice in Wonderland Next there is this very dynamically posed "bad bad" alice. It's from Heroes Infinite . She's a little pretty and a little crazy. I was very much looking forward to trying the stipes on the leggings and
