What up, patrons?! It's been a while since I did a video like this but because of my new release cycle, I hope to do more of these. If you're not familiar, this is an extended cut of the video I put out yesterday. It shows a lot more of the painting process and has my dialogue over top of it. It's very casual, and nerdy....cerdy? Enjoy!
P.S. if you want to see other ones, see the "extended-episode" tag in the sidebar on patreon.
With my extra time I experimented with this video. I tried writing the script before painting the mini to see how it would impact the flow of the whole thing. I think it had some positive impact but it feels like it ran off the rails a little toward the end. Let me know what you think!

What up, mini family!? This is the first stream VOD post. I'll tag all future VODs with "VOD" so you can quickly find them on the sidebar of my patreon page.

Here's the VOD in case you missed today's stream!
2020-09-24 23:16:53 +0000 UTC View PostWhat up, mini family?! This past week involved lots of upfront work on the stream. I remember this last time I streamed a lot: there was a decent amount of upfront work, and then a little bit of maintenance here and there once it's all set up. The first stream upgrade I wanted to create was this lower third banner. Streamlabs, a 3rd party tool for alerts (and a whole bunch of other things) has this utility to advertise various sponsors with banners/logos that run on a interval that you set. S...
2020-09-23 21:43:34 +0000 UTC View PostHiya mini family! As you know, I'm streaming regularly and uploading the VODs from that stream for patrons. I'd like to record these VODs separately and upload them. My initial thought was that I should use Vimeo because of it's paywall integration with Patreon, but there are a lot of convenient features we're leaving behind on Youtube. I'll leave it up to you guys. Let me know if you prefer Youtube, Vimeo, or it doesn't matter to you and we'll go from there!
2020-09-22 13:24:56 +0000 UTC View PostWhat up, mini family?! First of all, hello to all the new patrons! I'm happy to have you guys here. This is a Behind-the-Scenes post where I talk about what's been going on the past week. Let's get it on!
As I'm sure some of you know, I recently had Sam, Vince, and Jon over for a little minipainting bonanza. We played Age of Sigmar, we painted miniatures, we gabbed, and we ate food. It was pretty awesome.

I was teasing these changes to my Dark Wizard patrons, but the TL;DR is that I'm going to make less videos that are higher quality (2-3 a month), but also stream regularly on Fridays to replace that hole in my schedule. The Dark Wizard and higher role will get access to the stream VODs, but the streams will be free to watch live.
Make sure you read the description of this video <3
See you on Friday for the first stream! I'm going to get busy making some new and fancy assets ...
Hello Dark Wizards and Sepulchral Guard! It is no mystery that I am pretty shit at fulfilling the rewards at this tier (the dark wizard one especially). I think about it a lot and it makes me sad that people aren't getting what I promised. I'm making a significant but simple change to my channel in the future that will enable me to better fulfill these rewards BUT, one of them will go and will be replaced by something else in the future. Sorry to be vague, but I want it to be a surprise! So, ...

Enjoy this video! I have an upcoming announcement that's gonna change things a little bit on patreon. Stay tuned!

The charity army event has been a twinkle in my eye for over a year now and it's finally happening with the help of the Nova Open Charitable Foundation. Starting today you can select a volunteer option to paint for an army that'll be raffled off for charity. It's going to be and I can't wait to see the awesome armies we paint and how much money we raise! THIS IS GONNA BE SUHWEEEET.

I haven't had too busy of a week. My sister from Oregon is visiting and I've been spending time with her. I had Jon over for our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PODCAST! Wooo!! We're not really sure if we're going to change anything with the podcast or if we're going to take a little break to do some retrospection.
The video I'm working on right now is an easier vide...

This little diorama took me a lot longer than I thought it would after I kept adding on endless details.
2020-08-14 10:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHoooooty hooooooooooo! What up mini family?! As I'm sure you're all aware, I finished up painting the Hawk Lord Primaris Space Marine last week with a fun little display base that I was pretty proud of. It made sense to me thematically and wasn't hard to execute.
Not gonna lie, after finishing this model I took a little break. I spent over 50hrs in the first 3 days of the week painting an...

You voted for purple and yellow, and I've delivered! Time to crank this vid out.
2020-07-29 02:13:05 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, you guys gave a lot of good recommendations for chapters, so lets vote on which one is your favorite. Let me explain why I chose what I chose:
1. I didn't pick Space Wolves because I don't think the models lend themselves to space wolves. I WILL do space wolves. It will be the 10th and final EMM episode. I bought a mini for it already! I didn't pick Salamanders because I've done them already. I didn't pick Black Templars or Deathwatch because I've done black before and in...

I was able to pick up a copy of Indomitus! I'd like to paint one of the more special space marines for 'Eavy Metal Marines. Suggest some chapters for me to paint! I'm not going to redo a chapter I previous painted, and I'd like to avoid doing a chapter that's a similar color. For example, I've done Black Legion, so I'd be less interested in doing Black Templars (unless there was a sweet alternative scheme, because those bladeguard scream black templar)

I love making custom bases. I took some recommendations from my community and made a few of them. I had a few miscommunications with some sponsors. So I ended up practically finishing 2 videos this week. This one, and one about wet palettes. So at least a week in the future will have an easy video to make!
2020-07-24 01:52:26 +0000 UTC View PostLet's start with the fun stuff. First off, Tatiana finished off the Wood Elf Witch concept and I love the result.
A detail she added that I love is the wood coming out of the woodland imp. It really sells the impression that she's sucking out its life force! Onto the last concept which is more of a deranged, armored, melee specialist.

2020-07-16 03:53:40 +0000 UTC View PostI've been sitting on a lot of information for a while, but it's time to release the flood gates! First of all, I've recently been working on a wood elf concept art for a future miniature. Here he is to jog your memory.
He's angry, he's banished from the "nice" part of the forest, and he's the lookout. Lookout for what? Well, there are a few banished wood elves in this narrative I'm concocting a...
