What up, mini family?! Long time, no chat. There's a reason for that: I just came back from a week long vacation in Banff, a beautiful national park in Alberta, Canada!

We brought the dogs with and it was a great deal of fun. But, while I was gone, look what showed up!

The hats for the Dark Wizards! I'll start processing these and get them shipped out! Also while I was gone, Creature caster finished casting the vampire, found some minor problems, and sent me out a copy for QC! I should be getting it any day now!

In the meantime, I've been working on 2 videos simultaneously. A video about creating 4 different styles of fun bases, an idea inspired by a patron, and a video about the photography subject of "focus stacking".

Focus stacking allows you to take pictures of large groups of models, or large figures and have everything be in focus. In other news, the podcast is still in progress, getting some art done for it:

This design was actually inspired by another one of my patrons (same guy who also came up with the name)! It was such a good idea to have the logo be sprue lettering. We added a hand underneath the sprue to emphasize the "Trapped" idea. Here's the original drawing:

I'm trying to get my old buddies to write up a jingle for the podcast. I have lyrics written for it and a basic melody, but sometimes it's hard to get people to do things for free so we're waiting on that. That's all for now! PAINT MORE MINIS!
