Out of Dark Waters is a collision between high fantasy and Lovecraftian horror, inspired by a love of tabletop storytelling.

In my wife's words, "It's the D&D campaign you wish you were playing."

Getting started on a large painting project. Kitbashing together a GK Strike Squad kit and a MKIII Command Squad to make more visually distinct Interceptor and Strike units.

I did the most needlessly complicated thing I could think of! I created a points system where I earn points for finishing paintjobs for projects of a given type/size. And I buy new models if I have enough points, with different costs depending on whether I'm trying to shrink or grow my backlog.

Me: I love writing. Exploring these made up characters and worlds fills me with endless joy. It comes with an ease only surpassed by breathing or the beating of my own heart.

Also Me:

Screencaps from a MAKE SOME NOISE TikTok where Brendan Lee Mulligan as George R. R. Martin says "I don't know, have you ever tried to write? Its the saddest, hardest, worst thing in the world."

Thought this was kind of a fun shot of my Brother Captain.

Kitbashed GK Brother Captain, angling his sword toward the camera, saying "en garde" in a speech bubble.

Out for a picnic or looking for Dwarves, I wonder? Here’s some Copplestone 10mm Trolls (they stand about 20mm tall) from North Star based up to go with my Wargames Atlantic Dwarves and Orcs. Background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #northstarminiatures

WIP Brother Captain. Finished dry brushing his armor and sword. Starting to put down base coats. (I dry brushed before other layers to prevent spatter on finished parts.)

Partially painted Brother Captain kitbash with GK, Deathwing, and MKIII components.

Oh man, those look awesome. I can't wait to built and paint some of them.

I believe there's just the one! ETK's a standalone from his other work.

Steve does a lot to help promote and create engagement for other indie authors. Erstwhile Tyler Kyle has been on my TBR since I read the sample on Amazon, which I thought was awesome. I would absolutely recommend checking out his work.

1/2 My partner & I are financially struggling at the moment, but I'm already working full time and preparing for my thesis defence while writing an article and several books, so I can't really take on more work atm.

If anyone can afford to & had wanted to grab any of my already-existing books

I kept misplacing my phone so I painted the case Imperial Fists Yellow 😆. Here's the painting tutorial; it's great for tanks and dreadnoughts as well: youtu.be/ty5ZtIyLHk0?...

Looks good! Cool set of Reaper models there

J. Stigliano | Fantasy Author @jasonstigliano.bsky.social · 15d

I've been working on my photography setup lately. Turns out the best place for mini pics is the corner of the kitchen. Good light and outlet access. Trying to experiment with layers of terrain to help with the perception of depth.

A lightbox and another lighting source, with a phone on a tripod.

Thanks! The model responded super well do dry brushing.

J. Stigliano | Fantasy Author @jasonstigliano.bsky.social · 15d

"Large Earth Elemental" from Reaper. I love the embedded dinosaur skeleton, which I didn't even notice until I started dry brushing. #ReaperMiniatures #Minis #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #DnD #Pathfinder #Tabletop #Miniatures

The earth churns, and the stones of the ruined city take a living form, which bears their ancient memory. His name is Thud.

Been on a kick with Grey Knights kit-bashes. Thinking I'll paint this guy as either a Grand Master or a Brother Captain.

Deathwing Body and MKIII head, with other bits mostly from the GK Terminators kit.
