A really lovely picture of the League of Legends MVP trophy I worked on. We can do gold accents (with real gold!) in house now, it's super cool.

Borrowed a friend's costume to match @storytellercosplay.bsky.social while we pass out candy tonight. This is my first time in years to live in a neighborhood with a lot of trick or treaters.

I recently worked on the EMEA Valorant Ascension trophy. Specifically the most of the paint, some cleanup, assembly, and the casting and gloss for the ORB.

Cool finish! I'm happy whenever a trophy looks like it's rendered but it's just there right in front of you.

It might be cheating to pick the stuff I worked on but alot of people put hundreds of hours of physical labor around toxic chemicals to make these happen.

I'm really proud of the projects I do and I wish that people could easily look up who did SFX work like they can with illustrator credits.

Gotta include Georgia! The Stranger Things lab is an old Emory University building and the Avengers Tower is the Porsche Building both in Atlanta among plenty of other UB film and fiction locations.

Some old pics of the Shantae Garage Kit I painted and made a custom base for.

Chrome gold on the metal, satin pearl on the pants, candy red on the shoes, I love getting to use multiple types of finishes.

Taking my P out on the DragonCon floor.

No need to workshop that copy. Perfectly clear, can't be misunderstood.

Testing out a new chrome/gold tint on a coworkers prop.

I'm vending today and tomorrow at @sonicexpoatlanta.bsky.social with @jmanvelez.bsky.social

I've got a few special Sonic and Chao figures that, yes, will go fast.

Two years ago I worked on the Sword of Fire and Ice for the Magiccon Cosplay Contest Grand Championship. Last year was the Sword of Feast and Famine. I wonder what might be next?

Another trophy I worked on recently was the MSI MVP plaque for League of Legends. A combination of airbrushing and hand painting, I needed to make sure the yellow/orange/purple gradient glowed over a black stone without blowing anything out.

It was *really* heavy too!

I recently worked on a trophy for Lorcana!

This is actually a gold tinted silver nitrate instead of our normal chroming, meaning you get that same mirror finish better than any paint without the challanges and restrictions metal plating.

It's still just as difficult to photograph though.

I've worked on literally over 100 of these Curse Dragon trophies over the years and I have yet to get tired of the way they look.

The jiggy is a very special piece. It's coated in a silver solution, an upgrade from my regular chrome paint. This thing has a true mirror finish.

Things have been hectic with buying a house a moving but I manage to sneak in a last minute big prize for Games Done Quick!

Life sized Banjo Kazooie items!

I worked on some new League of Legends trophies! A contrasting pair for the North and South America's championship.

The stage lighting on them is like something out of an anime.

New look! If you see this cryptid, it's me.

Thank you to @motel777.xyz for doing the impossible mashing a slime and a Flatwoods monster together. They're a fantastic artist to work with, so please check them out.

Hear me out I have an idea.
June 11, 2025 at 1:28 PM
I made Dark Burgers and @storytellercosplay.bsky.social made Lancer Cookies for a Deltarune Party.

Litterly just finished cackling at it.

I worked on some props for Nightreign! I did the chrome for all the props as well as all the majority of the build on the BIG shield

The Chandra Chocobo statue for PAX was a huge endeavor, everyone in the shop had a hand in nearly every step. I'm so proud of how clean everything came together.
