If you ended up here -- how? Let me know!

I'm an artist with no real theme. Sci-fi, fantasy? Yes. Physical or digital? Yes. Can I be paid for? Yes!

Also I'm sorry I don't post as many dragons as my handle implies.

My word it’s somehow Friday again.

This week the theme is…grey.

So let’s see grey stuff (cue many unpainted minis).

As usual I’ll repost the lot, and if you like something, share it!

quick, while it's still ♋ month -- post a crab!

#warhammercommunity #3dprinting #chaos
Front-facing view of a Defiler, a four-legged robotic Daemon Engine. This one shows hazard stripes on various panels, two crablike claws, and a sensor suite on top of a sentinel-like body. It is adorned with spikes on various locations, including the front of the body, where a Gretchin's head and hand are impaled. This one is equipped with top-mounted Havok launchers, the standard Defiler cannon (a bit stubbier than normal), twin-linked combi-bolters, and a Reaper autocannon. Top-down view of the same model, showing its wide pose and a better view of its hazard-striped front claws and Reaper autocannon. Right-side view of the same model, showing various glowing effects along the side of the Defiler, its combi-bolters, and some detail on the worn brass plates on its legs.

WIP Wednesday

Post a Work in Progress!

👇
Work in progress photograph of a meticulously assembled Warhammer 40,000 Primaris Space Marine Lieutenant, crafted by professional miniature commission painter Andy TheBrushSmith. The unpainted figure is dynamically posed, equipped with a power fist and a plasma pistol—signature weapons that emphasize its status as a battlefield commander of the Adeptus Astartes. Rich in sculpted detail, the model features purity seals, a winged chest emblem, and a spiked helmet crest, enhancing its sense of authority. It stands on a textured scenic base with cracked earth effects and includes a blue Ultramarines helmet made of unpainted plastic, adding a narrative touch to the scene. Mounted on a Citadel painting handle and set against a neutral background, the model showcases high assembly standards and hobby craftsmanship, ideal for use in a portfolio or as a client preview.

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

My work in progress Exodite Treelord! Still need to figure out what to put on the base (suggestions welcome). This has been the largest scale painting I've done so far and it makes me thirst for more Eldar Wraith units.

#warhammercommunity #eldar #treelord
Front-facing picture of a 3D printed Eldar Exodite Treelord - a large ent-like combination of a Sylvaneth Treelord and Eldar Wraithseer. The bulk of it is painted to resemble deep red-brown wood inlaid with bright indigo swirls. Spiraled, gazelle-like horns sprout from the sides of the signature bowling-ball-pin-shaped head, into which two black voids are inlaid as though they were insectoid eyes. They are glossy and speckled with a splotchy orange galaxy-like pattern, which also adorns the figure's 'loincloth'. Its left arm is a massive power claw, each finger shaded from dark navy to indigo. The left shoulder sports a wraithbone Brightlance whose barrel is the same pattern as the figure's eys. Its right arm is extended outward with two Shuriken Catapults on the wrist, holding a large Power Axe with the same navy-to-indigo pattern as the claws. Side-facing image of the same figure as the first image, showing the patterned back of the Treelord's power gauntlet. A close-up view of the Treelord's power axe. The handle is mottled bone, with a grip the same deep blue-purple as the other effects on the figure. A metallic head is punctuated by several indigo gems. Its hooked blade is inlaid with an Aeldari symbol and its blade shimmers from deep bluish purple to a lighter indigo. Barely visible are the wrist shuriken weapons and the figure's feet and base.

Just realized I forgot to post my completed unit of Scarabs! These are largely GW plastic with some scrap from prints and other kits to fill out the bases with some visually interesting debris.

#necrons #warhammercommunity
View from above of three bases of Necron Scarabs. The individual scarabs have various color layouts, though all of them are limited to purple, gold, and grey, with highlights of neon green. One base of scarabs is a swarm all but covering the base itself. Another shows several scarabs deconstructing a Necron Warrior collapsed against a metal beam. The last is a swarm traveling over various buried Necron and Ork wreckage. View from behind of three bases of Necron Scarabs.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.

Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.

Remember them. And make the world remember them.
Light blue, pink, and white candles on a black background, arranged in the order of the Transgender Pride flag. Beneath, the text "TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE NOVEMBER 20" is displayed.

fuck that's clean

my favorite part of the painting process is finishing the basic colors and then getting to move on to the effects and seeing all of the work finally come together.

Hand-Holding a Stunning Red Scorpion Space Marine Intercessor Miniature Painted by Andy TheBrushSmith This image showcases an expertly painted Red Scorpion Space Marine Intercessor miniature, crafted by the renowned miniature artist Andy TheBrushSmith. The miniature features an eye-catching dark grey and yellow color scheme, emblematic of the Red Scorpions chapter. The model is skillfully highlighted with sharp edge detailing that enhances its power armor. The aquila on the chest and bolter are adorned with intricate gold accents, while the bright red eye lenses create a striking contrast. The weapon is painted with realistic metallic tones, adding depth and realism. The base is designed with care, featuring a textured, arid terrain effect with subtle dry brushing and natural-looking grass tufts, grounding the figure in a battlefield setting. This miniature demonstrates incredible craftsmanship, making it a standout piece in any Warhammer 40,000 collection. Perfect inspiration for hobbyists and miniature painters, the work showcases professional-level painting techniques like smooth blending, precise edge highlights, and thematic basing.

Over the moon with how my "General Grivus" from WargamesExclusive came out. It's an amazing sculpt and this is the first time I've attempted to break from my color scheme and do some 'power weapon' effects. No idea what I would actually count it as in-game.

A series of images showing a third party miniature that is patterned after General Grievous from Star Wars, rendered in the style of Warhammer 40,000 Necrons. It is mostly grey-blue, with a secondary color of gold along its forearms, foot claws, weapons, and death mask. Shoulders and other accents are in a deep purple. It wears a cloak of hexagonal sections, mostly purple and transitioning up to dark turquoise. Circular sections along its body are neon green. It wields four Hyperphase swords, two of which are blue and the others are the same neon green as can be found elsewhere. This is a frontal image.

Ambot!
Pushed the contrast of the wet blends.
Took extra care with the edge highlights
Used very few washes.
I think this is getting close to cementing my new mini painting pipeline.

One of my pieces of official GW plastic, my squad of Immortals. I was initially disappointed when I saw the sprues and instructions, since it was more mono-posed than the first GW kit I built, a squad of Warriors. But BOY are there a bunch of spare bits with that kit.

#warhammercommunity #necron
A squad of five Necron Immortals with grey bodies, purple accents and gold weapons and masks. All are wielding the double-barreled Gauss Blasters, and some of them have Deathmark body parts (such as mono-eyes and cowled shoulder plates). Front and center is the presumed squad leader, who has a white stripe on his deathmask. Various parts of their weapons are glowing with green energy.

And now for part 2, a shard of a dragon devoid of life. Unfortunately I can't credit the original creator as I can't find the original upload, and this was printed from a supportless version by another author. I wasn't able to use the original stand, so I did my own lightning effects. #necron #ctan
A front-facing picture of a fan-made Shard of the Void Dragon model. Several parts of the figure's crown are broken, revealing green energy underneath. At the forefront is a humanoid figure with geometrical sections missing from its body, the empty spots glowing with green energy. A blob of warbling green energy extends out from the figure's left hand, connecting to several partially-disassembled mechanical parts in a fashion reminiscent of green lightning. This creates an effect of the figure floating, as it is held up by the lightning effects. A back-facing picture of a fan-made Shard of the Void Dragon model.

From this angle, it is revealed that a Grot is also being pulled into the Void Dragon while trying to run away, one of its feet being absorbed by the lightning.
