Celebrating 2024!

Hey everyone, it's New Year's Eve 2024 and a wonderful time to cap off another wonderful year under the brush and reflect on the projects, lessons, and all the amazing new artists I've met. I enjoyed this time gathering all the images of completed models and compiling them into one big collage. A...

Ho Ho Ho 🎅

This year has been amazing on the brush with the growth I’ve experienced through some memorable pieces. As well as the biggest gift coming in the form of love and support from all you Patreons and this...

Champions of Critterfolk!

Hey everyone, this week's tutorial is on an adorable and heroic miniature that I had the pleasure of both painting and using as a model subject in my most recent workshop, The Champions of Critterfolk! With a primary focus on painting the head, fur textures, as well as his red cape. Thanks to all...

The Avatar of Khaine returns in part 2 of this tutorial series. As we left from painting the heat of the Avatar, we will now go into details of the cooler elements. Along with a Photoshop dive into the completed miniature, more of the make-up aspects and concepts that make the complete painting a...

Palette cleanser.

With the Avatar wrapped up, I was in the mood to take a deeper dive and explore the rest of the Kimera paint range with my recent purchase of their expansion set 1. Colours for me are a real key aspect of painting, and I think it's important to use your colour palette to help express yourself in ...

The Avatar of Khaine!

Hey everyone, happy Friday and to cap the end of the week, my Avatar of Khaine is finally complete! What a trip this model was both in the feelings of nostalgia, encompassing the remanence of my early days as a graffiti artist, and battling pace with repetition. Overall I'm quite happy with how ...

Avatar of Khaine - Heat of the Daemon pt.1

After a steady week of painting Khaine's avatar, I present the first part of his tutorial. Painting the head of the daemon, or more simply putting on how I've illustrated the heat with lessons in brushstrokes used, a full walk-through of each colour mix, and notes of placement and closing stages ...

From the Ashes🔥🔥🔥

The Avatar of Khaine is a steady process this week under my brush. I am working my way through each flaming hot leg that has fire spitting out and also painting the cooler contrasting parts of the leg armour he wears. I hope that with my tutorials and my emphasis on colour temperature, this minia...

UPDATE

With next week's part 3 of the Stormcast Challenge coming. I wanted to show you what is coming as we turn our brush toward the Eldar Avatar of Khaine! Taking a looser approach to brushstrokes having a lot of fun with stylized textures, and temperature contrast. With a lot more parts to paint, I'l...

My Apologies

Hey everyone, this is an update to let you know that I will have to delay the release of Part 3 of the Stormcast Challenge with the blue reflective NMM video until next week. This is simply due to the majority of the video footage that I recorded being slightly out of focus, making it difficult t...

Azmodai - Purple Smoke pt.2

We are back in Part 2 of Azmodai and painting the second soft surface texture of the Purple Smoke surrounding him. The primary techniques we will cover are how to combine layering, stippling, and glazing to help illustrate the softness smoke gives us as a feeling.

Smoke em if you got em!

I’m back at my painting desk after what has been a hard string of weekends. My marathon race in Toronto, battling a cold, body recovery, and a weekend workshop in Naniamo; to finally be back in my studio chair and continuing Azmodai. The additions of his smoke is the final soft texture to this ...

Stormcast Challenge - Warm Gold NMM pt.2

The Stormcast Challenge continues this week with our warm gold NMM.

Recovery 🏃

Hey everyone, the weekend is finished and I’m back from my Toronto Marathon with a couple very sore legs, battling a cold, and a lot of feelings to unpack. For this short version update: I’ll be releasing the Gold NMM Stormcast Challenge pt2 possibly later this week. And the next part 3 will ...

Brush down, shoes on!

Hey fam, it’s approaching race day weekend and I’ve packed my bags and ready to board my flight to race on Sundays Toronto Marathon! So I thought I would get in one last update before I switch my whole mindset to focus on the 42.1km ahead.

Coming in mid next week is the second part of ...

Azmodai - Grim Dark Robes pt.1

Welcome to the first tutorial featuring Azmodai of the Dark Angels. In this first part tutorial, we will be focusing our brush attention on his Grim Dark Robes and the techniques used with our brush and limited palette to create these textures. Keep in mind for the other parts of his painting w...

Repent!!!

Running alongside the Stormcast Challenge, Azmodai is also on my desk and the brush is moving really nicely. It’s one of those models that when I initially saw the miniature, I wasn’t feelin it. But given in the hand and being enabled to add my own atmosphere, this is turning into what I felt...

Skaventide Greyseer pt.3

Welcome to part 3 of the Greyseer project! In this video, I share the process of creating a matt painting backdrop for the Greyseer to set him in the Underhive. I worked with a few general references and sketched with the paintbrush to turn a low-fidelity rough painting, gradually building in mor...

The rule of 1/3rds

Hey everyone and welcome to the mid-week of September. Before I get into what the post title is all about, this week's tutorial will be released this Saturday simply due to my Games Workshop Embargo date.

With the Liche Priest Bone Dragon project complete, it’s time to dive back into the underhive and shed a bit more light on the Greyseer. Giving us a look at the broken bell underfoot, a peek at the lower half of his staff, and the scuttling rats below.

Painting with such a desaturated pa...

Arise!!!

My Hierophant sitting from his position of power upon his Bone Giant is finally complete! What a miniature, and quite the process of seeing it all together. I'm no stranger to these large monster kits, but I can say from the experiences of the Mauler Squigs, Kragnos, Troggoth King, Primarchs etc,...
