What up, mini family?! Here's episode 1 of the podcast that Jon and I worked on. Couple things to note:
1. The video version is right here :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-fx41Azhgg
2. The audio quality isn't podcast perfect. In subsequent episodes, it gets better, but if this is of interest to people, we'll be making some hardware upgrades to make it better.
3. The video has some pro...

More of this SEO content. Season 8 is coming out so I figured I'd paint up an iconic character!

I think I missed a week for doing the BTS post, I'm sorry about that! A lot has happened since I wrote a post. In the 5 days before Adepticon I shot and edited 3 videos (top 5 favorite painters, homecoming pt7, shazam), obviously painted Shazam as well, and finished my entry for Crystal Brush. It was a wild ride. Lots of NOS energy drinks were consumed! I'm happy to say that I finished my Crystal Brush entry and it made final cut at Adepticon, which you already kne...

What up, mini family?!? I made final cut at CB with the homecoming piece and it's online now for public voting! You can cast your votes for your favorite entries here: http://crystalbrush.coolminiornot.com/cbgallery
Warning: the site is kinda garbo
Just because I'm at Adepticon doesn't mean I'm going to leave y'all hangin'! Enjoy this early release!
2019-03-29 10:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe just hit 400 patrons, team! Thank you all for the support. Because of your support, I'll most likely become a full time youtuber in June! 
Meanwhile at Adepticon....
Sorry it was a bit late. Continuing the homecoming series!!

AHHHHHHHHH CRYSTAL BRUUUSH! I'm losing my mind painting non-stop with all my free time. It may seem like I have more than enough time to do it, but I have to work on a sponsored video for Miniature Market this coming Friday, and I leave for Adepticon next Wednesday. That gives me until Friday, and then any remaining time I have after I finish the sponsored video before next Wednesday. That's not a lot!! If I was a responsible adult, I'd probably just wait until ne...

Lot's stuff going on this past week, so let's dive right in. As I said in the last post, Jon came over this past Saturday to shoot some stuff, and we got a lot done! 
We shot 3 episodes of the podcast and 2 of the episodes are using questions from you guys! At the time of writing this post, episode 2 and 3 are fully done being edited. I'm excited to see if you guys like...
Sorry it took me so long! The edit was more complicated than I thought and the hangover lasted longer than I anticipated...
2019-03-13 20:33:25 +0000 UTC View PostHi mini family!
I know I said I wasn't going to post this week, but things are happening that you might be interested in hearing about, so I figured I'd do it anyways! Tatiana finished up the vampire concept with some color!
It's great, I'm really excited for the mini! I got the concept sent over to Ali Jalali and he said the sculpt will take 1 - 2 months to finish. I'll be sending ...

By the time you'll be reading this, I'll be in Hawaii! This past week has been about hustling to work on my Crystal Brush Entry.
I did a lot of hair sculpting, and smoothing out gaps between limbs, chopped some wood up, made up some fire with cotton swabs, pva glue/water, and acrylic gel medium. I also got started on some floaty hair being caused by the fire b...

A patron just kindly reminded me that with my Hawaii vacation I have about 2.5 weeks to finish this entry and I haven't even started painting yet....TIME TO HUSTLE!

This week has been a weird week. I haven't done a lot of hobbying, but I feel like I've got a lot done. I've progressed more on my Crystal Brush entry. I'm not super enthused about doing it, but I'm grinding through it. I filled in the gaps in the joints, did the first pass on the hair, and attached her to the cross.
How about another Kill Your Friends update? First day of p...
This video is a topic I've been kicking around for some time. Every once in a while, I've been known to be a little harsh, so I thought I'd fully embrace that characteristic and make a video about a bunch of advice that is good to be aware of, but is a little hard to receive. This video has 7 "Harsh Tips" that will help you on your miniature painting journey that I've needed to hear once or twice in my mini painting journey.

Pretty exciting week! As some of you may know, I'm in the process of having a miniature made for the purposes of selling/using it in physical and digital miniature painting class as discussed toward the end of this video: https://youtu.be/DS3HS3wUmcs?t=411
I got right to finding a concept artist and a 3D sculptor. I contacted a few of each and got a few replies and picked the ones I li...

This week has been pretty low key. I've just continued to work on my Crystal Brush entry.
I've hacked up my miniature and repositioned her limbs to fit on the cross. It's a constant battle working with these super thin arms trying to get them in the right spot but we're closing in on something that looks accurate. I made the cross, added some dirt, and did some sculp...

This week has been super duper duper cold. Today was a record low of -29 Fahrenheit. Martin, one of my patrons, gave me the idea to make a funny skit video about the weather and priming, so I did! Since it's topical right now, that video will be this Friday's actual release. That will push back the schedule of the Homecoming series a bit, but I'm still making the videos. Another reason for this skit video is that I want to get ahead of my release schedule ev...

This week I've resumed work on my "Homecoming" diorama. If you forgot about that diorama, or you're not sure what I'm talking about, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlLZAcTBAjw
The first thing to do was to get started on the plinth.
Seems somewhat trivial...

This week was a little bit busy. First off, I did another 'Eavy Metal Marines episode, as I'm sure you're all aware of by this point.
It was a Black Legion Chaos Spacemarine. I felt this was a pretty hot topic legion at the moment because Chaos Spacemarines are probably going to get an update soon, and I'm hazarding a guess that they will be mostly Black Legion marin...

This week we had something pretty annoying happen. In BTS #19, I talked about the video I was making of a fully uncut blending process from beginning to end with 3 cameras. I shot the whole thing, and edited the whole thing...and then I deleted it before uploading it. Let me explain.
I have a 500GB SSD that I put "in progress" video projects on. That SSD was getting full, as it does, and when that happens I archive stuff to my NAS (network attached storage) ...

Long time no see. I hope you all had a good holiday! I'm back to editing videos after my 1 week of rest and relaxation and I've hit the ground running. This past week I edited a video about my first time teaching a miniature painting class and all the things I learned about it and how I'd improve on my process for miniature painting classes. That video will be out this Friday. I also filmed and started to edit a video about how I blend. It's a full process video, ...
