Bumble bee is printed.

I just wanted to share bumbs all printed and ready for prep. This is gonna be a long weekend. In case you didn’t know my painting days are usually Friday to Tuesday and I edit at nights those days then print prep on the other days and voice overs and other shop nonsense. In case you were wondering why I say weekend. It makes sense for my crazy timeline as I can start on Friday be done by Monday or Tuesday and edit all night as I go then Wednesday I can do tidy of the video and voice over ...

I crashed last night lol

Hey dudes. So I had planned to upload the video for today for early access but when I got home it seems the late nights caught up and I did a proper old man thing and fell asleep right after my dinner holding my iPad while I was doing thumbnails lol. Anyway I had a real nights sleep last night for the first time in a while and I somehow feel worse than normal, maybe my body only likes 5 hours of sleep anymore is too much. Anyway I am about to head to the studio I’ll do thumbs and upload e...

Little behind the scenes

Just wanna show you what’s being worked on this week at the studio. I been hella busy with so many things. I got mega distracted by the cnc machine that arrived on Saturday too. But I’ll give more about that in another post. Once I’ve gathered my thought a bit more. Not gonna lie I think I’ve filled my brain with too many info hahaha.

On the house subject, we have applied to a few places just waiting for references and affordability checks to come back and then go ...

The timing of this is just off

lol I had this coming before the fan and sh!t hitting happened. But I’d already committed to the makers to make a video about this machine in return for a bloody cnc machine. I got some more flying stuff to build when things settle. But I still had to get a video made and I promised them I’d make a drone with the machine. So me and George stayed at the shop all day to figure out how to become machinists. About 5pm we were not very happy because we’d tinkered all day and couldn’t mak...

Absolute Wonder Woman palette.

Hey guys. Here is the colour palette for Wonder Woman. I got a tattoo booked in for tomorrow so I’m basically in detention all day and can’t be online much. But Friday I plan to live stream the whole day and I plan to paint that Tinkerbell I think. You can come watch me make the video and ask stuff if you want. Just hang for the day. (Obvs this is gonna be England day time but will probably be a long stream so you merican dudes can join in too) I’ll give you times etc tomorrow as I ...

Super quick flyby post

Hey guys. I spent the day packing models and prepping new ones for future videos. Realistically I’d like to say this lot should be done by the beginning of next week. I plan to do a one day paint on the tink and I also plan to live stream that too. The galactus is the sponsored video for next week and the Maelle from expedition 33 is an extra that if I can do would also be a decent increase in income this month. Plenty more coming. Ps I am busy supporting a Bumble bee too….

Early access

Hey dudes. Super early access as I was working on getting myself ahead of schedule before this week. I think I’ll be a bit back to the older days of editing the last bits the night before again after this. Trying to not get there but so much stuff is distracting me now lol. Don’t worry about it tho as the best thing for me mentally is to get stuck into the channel, I love making the videos I do and even though it’s kinda hard with my mind being a bit torn it’s still the only me but of...

Finished absolute Wonder Woman

Hey dudes. Here is the final model I finished her up yesterday. I spent most of the night editing the video and today I’ll do voice overs. There’s still a large amount of work I’d lined up before this so I’ll be doing bunch of printing again there’s even an fdm thingy that Frankie’s doing. Will give more info soon. Have a great weekend my dudes.

A bit of progress.

Hey dudes. I managed to get some work in today. Not much but hopefully enough to push me over the edge tomorrow by lunch. Even with all the background stuff I haven’t got a choice but to keep making videos now lol. I made it my main focus and I’d have to build up a whole new clientele if I went back to tattooing so you and I are stuck with me making videos indefinitely now lol.

But some positives are that with model sales and the help from many people here and around the communi...

Next model is wonderwoman.

This one is from Zez. The new Zez. I dunno but it’s same Zez quality. Their stuff always fits so well. There’s a small handful of sculptors who truly get the key system. Zez is one of them

Anyway. I managed to only get this far today.

Early access chunli video.

Hey dudes. It’s 13:30am and I just realised I been sitting on this early access all day. I have so much going on at the moment way more than ever before and I’m really not the adulting kind of adult. Damnit I’m sorry it took so long haha but at least I remembered last minute.

Gonna be running around like a blue arsed fly for the next few weeks. I’m gonna share the next few projects with you guys in the coming days too. I had so much extra content lined up but I’ll...

The promised chunli skin video

Hey guys. So here is the video I promised before the fan got hit by the poo. I managed to squeeze in a few minutes between packing boxes today. I’ve had a small mare with uploading models so I took a break to upload this instead. I really hope this one helps you understand the process more and if you already do understand it I hope it gives you some extra infor you didn’t know or didn’t know you needed to know.

Anyway here’s the patreon extra. And I’m making it available t...

Smol update after the dust has settled a bit

Words are said. Please hear them.

Colour palette for Tifa and Aerith

Hey dudes. Here is the colour palette for the lasdies from Sunday. Sorry it’s a bit behind. A lot has been kinda happening. Also I’ll post the early access for this eeeks video in a couple hours too. Tell your mom I’m coming home probs.

Not good news

Some bad news guys I’m sorry. But hopefully I can get to the end of this fairly unscathed. I’m not feeling very optimistic tho 😢

Smol update dudes.

Words said in the video.

Tifa and Aerith

I competed these two today. Video hopefully out on Sunday. Sculpt is from nympha 3d.

What’s on your table for the weekend?

Early access

Hey dudes. So here it is. The early access for gonad the video for this week. I have so much on the plate I need to clear and then. Have a project coming up that I think you guys will like. I’ve been working on a custom sculpt with an artist and it’s an original character and hopefully gonna be a perfect base to learn painting from. Anyway I just thought I’d share a bit of what else is going on behind the scenes.

Here’s the gonad video (lol that sounds worse than ...

Colour palette for gonad!

Hey dudes. Here is the colour pallete for Gina’s the barbarian.. been a mega week. I’m part way through the 3rd model (which itself has two figures innit) so I’m a bit squeezed for time. Also hopefully you guys saw Frankie’s video yesterday? He’s gonna do the odd video here and there to help pick up the slack for sponsors etc. so that I don’t have to take away focus from what I’m doing. Hope your printers are purring.

Super top secrets

Soooo as you may know I’ve received my vacuum casting machine. And in the very very near future I will be casting this thanos glove. With the help of nice x collectibles again for the model. This “gold” is painted for now to get the idea of what I’m making. And help me put the concept together in real time as my brain struggles with things. But the plan is to cast this in solid gold (I had to get a guy to front me for this as it’s in the thousands for the cost of the gold) and I’...

Gonad the barbarian

Hey dudes. So I’ve just got home from a long day at the studio. Managed to start and finish this gonad statue today. I’m scrambling to try get ahead of videos somehow. I need to find extra time. If anyone knows any witches or wizards who can grant me some kind of time slowing ability that’d be great. I’m going to die in my bed now while the footage uploads to my hard drive so I can start editing. Hope you guys have a great weekend.

Done with chun li

So I got her did today. Although she’s not a model for next week so I have to do that tommorow. I was just focusing on the transition from water to outside of water with this one. I was dumb and put the water on the base before the feet and had to figure out to get the feet in there. Through the board hole. 👀

I’ll post her palette soon.

WIP on chunli

Hey dudes. I’m am about two weeks too early to start painting this model but I was just super amped to see the effect that she made with his idea. It honestly is coming out so sick.

I also decided to put a decal on the board just to make it a bit more legit. What you guys think?

Bluto early access

I painted Bluto. Popeye’s nemesis. Big, beardy, built like a fridge and 100% confident about it. The sculpt is ridiculous in the best way, mid-laugh, mid-flex, maybe mid-seduction? Hard to say. Painted him up in all his fridge shaped glory and honestly… it turned out kinda sick. He’s got the energy of someone who just stole your lunch and your girl and still made it back in time for arm day.

Early access link’s below — go check it out before the public gets their greasy little...

Rogue colour palette

Hey dudes. So here is the colour palette for rogue (from Abe 3d) I tried to take the pic with my camera but I’m still trying to figure out how to use this stuff so maybe it’ll take a while to get used to it. I got my new lens. And it’s definitely helped with the field of view and a bit with focus but I just really need to figure out the focus a bit better. I’m so useless at it for now. Hope you guys liked the video anyway and are ready for Bluto.

Tell yer mum I said hi.

Limited early access

Hey dudes. I’m gonna post this video in the next few hours. Woulda given a bit more notice for you guys but I only got the edit done at 3am last night. It’s bank holiday in uk so I’m just taking an hour or two to walk the town with my family then I’ll be back at the studio this afternoon to post the video live.

What I Learned from Making 4 Years of Hobby Content on a iPhone

Another one day build

So I did another one day paint thingy. I mean it was like the was much other than skin tone to paint. But I wanted to try some other filming stuff with my new camera so I can see what the content looks like. Anyway I leave the photos of today’s efforts. I am a shmuck and I didn’t prep it properly so there’s a lot of sand paper marks and tool damage 😢 but I was adamant to paint her today and had no time to do extra prep

Anyway. Tell your mom I said hi.
