Last week I went to firestorm to play with my Orc army I showed on the blog earlier this year. I Lost two games, which I expected, but I had a ton of fun. On the way in, though I had promised my self I wouldn't buy any new toys, I saw this new pack from Dead Man's Hand and I picked it up for painting practice and also because I adore the movie. It's maybe one of my favorite westerns. 

Due to my pre-existing love of the characters they pretty much painted themselves. I've recently been feeling in a bit of a rut with my skin tones so I tried two distinct and different tones here. I felt this also went nicely with the way that their outfits are so dichotomously contrasting. 

I cut off their base tabs, as I wanted them to really seem like they where running on the ground and not elevated. 

I've been running this business for 14 years and I decided to set up a review page. I investigated a few option but I ended up using google as it seems like a good place for people to "land" when searching the business in search engines and also I couldn't seem to get some of the other working very well. So far, being that I gave notice to some clients, they've been repeating their wonderful compliments but now in an official capacity, whereas before I had all this lovely stuff to go on but only in my emails. 
I look forward to more reviews with time and I'm really chuffed I decided to sort this out finally. 

Found an awesome free STL of "Da red gobbo" and I printed it out for painting practice. I had to replace the flag because it printed to flimsily on my printer and kept breaking. This was a really fun model, I learned a lot and I'm going hunting for more. 

I've been working my butt off re-imagining the portfolio. Mostly minor changes but even minor ones take a very long time to insitute across the entire portfolio. I've been doing a lot of thinking about re-adding the small scale 15mm armies I've painted. Due to the way my photography got better over the years some of my photography isn't great but I think I can dig out a few more orders that got a good enough photo shoot to put them back in. Keep your eyes peeled for more to come in the portfolio and have a look at the new gallery page with a clean and concise layout for easier navigation. 

I finished the Witch King this morning for my Orcs. I will be playing with them for the first time ever today at firestorm games. I'm excited and nervous but I can't wait to get going! 

Also since I started using adobe express I've become obsessed with experimenting with content and I found this cool background feature. Yes, I know i'm about 20 years late to the game but it doesn't change how much fun I'm having and I'm also hoping it'll boost any ebay sales I am hoping to put up. I put the Witch King on a cool background. 

Long standing customer Dave hit me up at short notice to get some more samurai done for his groups samurai campaign they're running this month so I popped out a few more. This time in blue and purple. Again these resin sculpts are extremely pleasurable to paint and I think the finished look is really attractive and pleasing to the eye. 

This last week i've been working hard on a new pricing pdf. It's come in at 500mb! So I've uploaded a compressed version of about 60mb to small pdf and you can find it here:

It's a concise but descriptive look at the offerings of my services, some historical examples of work and details about things like basing and conversions. I really hope you like it and that it helps you understand the business a little more.
