What up, mini family?!
This week has been something of a whirlwind. First and foremost, this week is the first week that my wife has started to officially work for me! She quit her job and is helping me with all sorts of tasks. On Monday our furnace died so we had to buy a new one (a few thousand down the drain), and then on Tuesday my cat died. It kind of threw a wrench in our first two days as coworkers. But, we persevered! So far she has done some accounting:

2020-01-31 11:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostHello, mini family! Long time, no typy type. I've had a nice long break and I am fully energized to start cranking out that content again. If I'm being honest, the end kind of snuck up on me, but don't worry, I've already got finished videos in the pipeline for your eyeballs. A decent amount has gone on since taking my break, so let's chat about it!
I can't remember if I told you guys thi...
2020-01-25 12:37:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey, a conversation cropped up on reddit about my opinion of president trump claiming that I'm a "big fan". I can assure all of you that I pay so little attention to any form of politics that I'm not a fan of anyone. The only time I encounter any amount of info is when people are raging about it on social media so I tend to steer clear!
Here's the reddit thread in question: 2019-12-29 19:04:11 +0000 UTC

I didn't know how to include the extra painting from the Doc Ock video into that edit w/o ruining the narrative, so I just made another, easy to make, video with the whole process (cutting out the basecoating because that's boring and tedious). Let me know if this is any good!

What up, mini family. Here's the early release for the last video I'm editing in 2019. Hope yuo enjoy it!

What up, mini fam!? So, this video is going to go live on December 27th, but because of a few reasons, most notably having to re-org my basement for the podcast this week, this was an easier video to shoot and edit as opposed to a painting one where I paint doc ock, so this is super early release, and I'll finish the doc ock video later this week.
2019-12-13 22:20:41 +0000 UTC View PostWhat up, mini family?! Long time, no BTS post. Let's right the ship! As you all probably know, I very recently worked on releasing a miniature for sale and making a big ol' digital course for it.
Immediately after I finished this, I went on a little vacation to Brussels, Belgium. I was actually still working on a few final details for the mini/course while I was in Brussels. Here are some...

2019-11-15 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWhat up, mini family?! Since we left off, I tore apart my video set and start to recreate it. Here's the current status:
I put together 3 ikea cabintes and 2 kallax units. The cabinets were a PAIN IN THE ASS. It took so long. I then started to do some set dressing. This will be behind me and my desk will be in front of it, and I'll be facing away from the wall. It's hard to know what something ...

This has been a very busy past week. Let's dive right in. My wife and I started to package up the vampires in anticipation of selling them this coming Black Friday. Want them all to be ready to go so we can just drop them off as soon as they're purchased so they get into people's hands immediately! If you're looking to get your hands on one, the store will go live at 5AM when the video comes out on Friday (sorry to you west coast people). Here's over 80, Qui...

This week has been a little uneventful. First and foremost, I finished up my little diorama thing for the Mantic sponsored video.
I did some more experimenting with snow products that didn't go exactly to plan. You'll see all the juicy details in the video this Friday, or if you get the early release reward, you can see it now.
Beyond that, I...
2019-10-31 11:42:55 +0000 UTC View PostWhat up, mini family?! This week was jam packed with a lot of fun stuff so let's get to it! First and foremost, VAMPIRES! I got all the boxes and belly wraps from Todd. The last thing I need is shipping materials and we're good to go! I picked up 420 (lul) copies of the wraps and the boxes. I assume I'll sell more than the initial 210, hopefully!
This past weekend, I had Sam Lenz over. He was in the neighborhood teaching a class nearby m...

Enjoy this video about inks and all they can do for you (as far as I know). I've been enjoying inks a lot as of late, and some people find them a mystery, so I hope this helps!

2019-10-11 18:51:46 +0000 UTC View PostSo I've finished writing the beginner airbrush script. It took me some time because I'm having various people proof read it for accuracy and I want to make sure it's laid out nicely. I thought it might be nice to add a short FAQ section to the end with a lot of common beginner questions like "do I thin paint that's pre-thinned for airbrushing like vallejo's air line?". So, hit me with your best beginner airbrush questions! I can't answer all of them, but I'll answer a few.
2019-10-09 13:54:13 +0000 UTC View PostOK, so we're going to do a beginner airbrush video and I started to write the script for it and I naturally started to describe the anatomy of most airbrushes and also what each important part does but then I realized maybe not everyone wants to care about this. Let me know if this is something you want in the video.

2019-10-04 15:12:44 +0000 UTC View PostNot a whole lot of painting got done this past week, but a whole lot of other stuff so let's get started!
First and foremost, the 75mm vampire miniature we've called "The Duchess" has finished production and the first wave of 210 minis are on there way to me! Now it's in my hands to finish up the educational series on it and then we can start selling it just barely in time for Christmas season. The intention was to finish this a long time ago but stuff happens!
