These were never really my favorite minis. Initially there was something about their faces that reminded me of a terrible dark time in GW past (NAGASH) The mono-pose huge wings were a nightmare to paint for me, with their curves accidentally catching the brush many times. Emergency wash the paint off happened way too often. …
A very quick post showing development using AI to change the Ganymede Mule object into an Anime style.I believe this is the piece that some miss when talking about AI, showing AI as a tool that allows creators to take existing work and view it through a different lens, possibly pushing development in a direction …

Yay Physics 🙂 baseball diamond clay for base + crushed …

Over the past 40 years, I have been trying to find some sort of positive to being diabetic. Putting a positive spin on injecting yourself 4+ times a day and pricking your finger for blood to see if you need more injections can be hard to see the bright side. Until now that is….. Tau …
The hardest part of creating lifelike mountains is just starting.Seriously, grab some polystyrene, glue it in layers to desired height, then hack away with a hot wire cutter.Cast some rock outcroppings (woodland scenics) Next difficult part is making the plaster rocks fit. Easy – just snap pieces off with a set of pliers and carry …
