Something old, something new!

Well its 2am, i cant sleep so why not make a post right? The glorious void elemental is nearing her completion. Few details and a final varnish coat and shes off to her forever home. Ive had mixed feelings on this piece. After a long hiatus of working on her I came back with zero motivation to do anything hobby related. A rut im afraid i still feel like im in. Call in convention burn out if your want, sadly Adepticon i was unable to do any painting. On the plus side Cuttlefish Colors did have a wonderful weekend and I was blown away by home many people I met that loved the paints.
Now, I have been pushing myself a little in the last week to try and find my hobby mojo again. Printed up a sick reptile fella from Beastiarium Miniatures. I think Ive found the model this plinth was made for. I have some small ideas on how I would like him to look, but nothing concrete right now. I was thinking of going for a hyper realistic approach to him. Something I haven't really done in ages but did enjoy when I was doing that.
Another big project on the table right now its the Necromancer Dragon from Creature Caster. I've wanted to paint this model ever since it was released. Finally, now that I have one Ive been blessed to get Cuttlefish Colors to work on this bucket list item. The best part? I will be donating this piece to MHCP for their next charity raffle. 2 birds, 1 stone right? Validation of painting one of my must have models and being able to help raise money for a fantastic cause. If your unfamiliar with who MHCP is I would encourage you to look them up. Ill have another post soon with more info on them.
Lastly, I wanted to thank all of you for sticking with me here on patreon. Ive been really down lately about where I fit into the hobby world. With having no motivation to stream or post about anything Im astounded that there are still a few of you who stuck with me through a rough patch. Ive never been one who wants any validation or recognition in life. I tend to enjoy just being me and flying under the radar so to speak. All the attention lately with Cuttlefish has shocked my system and thrust me into a spotlight i wasnt fully prepared for. Im working on it, trust me. And i really do miss chatting with everyone on stream. Sometimes I find myself sitting at my computer hovering over the go live button, frozen, unable to go through with it. Not something Im very open about and find I still fight demons everyday. So thank you, sticking with me really does matter to me, its does show me that no matter what I may be thinking I have at least a few allies who believe in me and my art.

Now...SCHEDULE THOSE SESSIONS! I miss chatting with all of you. This summers going to be a wild ride and I cant wait to tell everyone about some crazy things happening here in the studio.

- Ceph.
