Finally getting around to doing a bit of an intro post, so! G'day all, I'm Skits, an ineffable eldritch Aussie abomination. 🤣 I customise and paint minis, both for myself and on commission, and I stream a lot of it on Twitch. I'm always happy to talk hobby and (attempt to) answer questions! 😄
a three by three collage of various miniatures I've painted. top row: daemon primarch mortarion, inquisitor draxus, daemon primarch magnus. middle row: rainbow mindstealer sphiranx, moonlit campfire stormcast, lord uriel. bottom row: vaporwave noise marine, fabius bile and his assistant, ultramarines librarian opening a warp portal.

Okay so I am terrible at keeping up with things here, but better late than never, right? 🤣 I was at GHMX last weekend, entered some of my minis into their mini competition, and of the three categories I entered, I won gold in all three :3 I was both surprised and delighted at these results! :D
a photo of three miniatures - a Thousand Sons sorcerer casting a magic butterfly, a rainbow coloured Mindstealer Sphiranx, and a Great Spirit Longma on a custom diorama background - each with their own GHMX "Category Winner" plaque next to them.

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

Just finished my latest commission, this lil guy - Miyamoto, Ronin Kitsune! I really enjoyed doing the snowy woodland base especially. XD Let me know what you think!

Adjusted the backdrop and started painting! probably gonna add a couple of sky lanterns in the background too :D
Photo of the great spirit longma mini on a custom display base, made to look like a mountain top poking up out of the clouds, with other mountain tops and a couple of sky lanterns in the background. The sky is partially painted. The gaming base of the mini is fully painted in greys, browns and greens to look like weathered, mossy stone tiles and dirt.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

Anyone else have problems trying to post photos to bsky from their phones? I've tried multiple times and the post never goes through, but it also doesn't give me any kind of error message. Is there some kinda image size limit or something?

Here's a couple of my WIPs atm! The lightning for the dragon's base still needs some refining, but overall I'm quite pleased with how it's turning out. I'm also pleased with the tweaks I made to the gryphon model to get this specific head/reins to work with this rider. lmk what you think! :D
A photo of a large grey plastic dragon standing on some ruins, with its wings cupped and one foreleg raised. A broken statue on the base has been customised with wire of various thicknesses to look like it's being hit by a bolt of branching lightning.

Planning on adding a scratch-built tail to my heldrake! The joint between neck and body has also been mildly articulated, but I don't think I'll bother doing so with any of the limbs. They'll get glued in after painting (if i ever get that far! 🤣)

Assembling a Heldrake for myself, decided to attempt articulating the head a bit! Drilled a couple of holes, carved a connecting piece out of sprue, and it works quite nicely! Reasonable range of motion and it also lets me extend/retract the head a bit. Gonna make painting easier!
