Monday Miniatures: Rain Delay

In my inbox I couldn’t help but notice that there were many fewer finished dragons than started dragons, so I have decided to give everyone another week. A model this awesome deserves a little extra time. I will amend the mini timeline in next week’s post to compensate. In the interim, look at this:

TrafficYou might notice there was a real spike yesterday. Someone shared last week’s post on Reddit, and that was the result. Whether it was the awesome tutorial or the dragon that drew such a crowd I can’t say, but the best way to get more people painting their bones are to share these posts and make the aware that we exist. I’m looking forward to seeing more dragons next week!

Monday Miniatures: On The Road

Forgive the format: I’m posting this from the road. I’ll be out of town all week for work, and last week I was dealing a plumbing disaster. As a consequence, no painting got done. Fortunately other people found the time to pick up my slack painting Ezren. (more…)

Monday Miniatures: Spirit of the Forest

I think in the future I am going to have to give all the larger models two weeks. There is just too much to do I a single week.

This Treant is a real treat. There is literally a ridiculous amount of detail. Under every leaf is another leaf, and behind every vine is another mushroom or bit of wood grain just crying out to be highlighted.

Comic Cover Controversy Strikes Again

Batgirl41vIf you follow the comics industry on social media, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the latest variant cover to raise the gorge of readers.  Rafael Albuquerque’s variant cover to Batgirl #41 was supposed to be 1 of 25 variant covers celebrating the Joker as a fixture of DC’s canon for over 50 years.  Thanks to a vocal minority, Albuquerque and DC withdrew the cover before the launch, caving to an Internet uproar that is becoming all too common these days.

Seems like only yesterday we we’re clutching our pearls over Spider-Woman’s posterior. Those were the days…
