Thank you so much! Love the meme 😂

That’s a good callout! I think this is maybe the 3rd bolter I’ve painted in my life lol. I had no idea what that hole was supposed to represent so I just painted it metallic. When I get a min I might go back and black it out 👍

I uploaded this short to YouTube with music which I was then region restricted. I remove the music and then select the SAME MUSIC but through YouTube Shorts and now it’s not restricted… 😔

I have a zero AI policy. Do not contact me if you use AI art. I will not work with or support games, companies & etc who use it.

No this isn’t a “I hate ai because it’s cool too” post. This is an I’m an artist, environmentalists, and I’ll use my own brain, post. I prefer humans and real art.

It’s absolutely wild to me how poorly photos on instagram perform compared to turning the same photo into a reel which gets like 10 times the views

HERE HE IS!!

Its your favourite BIG mecha grandpa (but tiny)

I really pushed myself on this miniature & learned so so much by painting him as well as I could but also these minis slap and I HIGHLY recommend picking one up to paint!

Hell ye my two favourite hobbies combined!

I painted another Moonstone mini! What a blast this dude was. I got to use oils for the blends which was a nice change of pace!

I uploaded more static shots of this guy on my instagram as well:

how I envision being home sick:
"oh sweet, i can paint models all day"

how it actually goes:
**staring at the ceiling, half-asleep, debating if making coffee is too ambitious**

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday. 🥰

Except for people who text / scroll on their phones while driving. I hope you stub your big toe everyone morning.

Give me a can of monster and a box of miniatures and I’ll turn them into an empty can of monster and a single miniature with a nicely painted shoulder pad and a pile of shame

I’m a simple creature.
Give me a can of monster and a box of miniatures and I’ll turn them into an empty can of monster and box of painted miniatures and be a happy not-so-little guy.

At what follower threshold does one get GW to send them free models? Asking for a friend.

On an unrelated note… Follow, Like and Share!

There are 4 seasons:

Green leaves, can spray miniatures
Burnt leaves, can’t spray miniatures
Fallen leaves, can spray miniatures
Snow leaves, can’t spray miniatures.
