I recently took inspiration from the effervescent @CraftsAndMinis videos on YouTube, and thought I might do an unscripted & unedited vlog-like set of videos as I paint through the creatures, monsters, PCs & NPCs of Dungeons & Dragons! I’ve already made a little bit of progress, and I’m through the A’s (with the exception of ants, which will be rectified as soon as my package arrives). I’m not sure where I’ll go with it, or how exactly I want it formatted, but I want to get something out there. And who knows? Maybe I’ll eventually start editing them if it’s worth it. I hope toRead More →

Hobby Room Setup as of Jan 2019 Just for my own future reference and/or nostalgia, here’s the paint station setup in The Dungeon, as of my hobby re-start: And here is (some) of the D&D collection, as of December 2018: First up is the place of honor… Hardback shelf & antique display cabinet. The Hardback shelf holds most of my prized hardback books. Bookshelf:AD&D 1e, 1e & 2e special limited re-releases, 2e & 2e revised, and 5e. Not pictured: 3.0/3.5/4.0 hardbacks – due to (obvious) space constraints on the shelf, they’ve been relegated to the normal bookshelf in the larger library in another part ofRead More →

So I made this little video, discussing the Lucky feat in Dungeons & Dragons 5e. It’s only about five and a half minutes, I’d love to hear some feedback about the rule and interpretations / play examples from others’ experience!Read More →

Lightbox: The Miniature Photography Trials

I recently built myself a lightbox using the method @tabletopminions recommends in his video, Photo Lightbox: Build or Buy. I need to get brighter bulbs, it seems, but a good first attempt. Photographing the miniatures is a little different using the lightbox rather than my painting spotlights & improvised backdrops. I’m going to need some practice. And/or a better camera. As a side note, this is after I used Mod Podge Acrylic Gloss Sealer on the musician and non-bejeweled dudes. The guy with jewels in his beard is still unsealed. I was playing with various sealants to see what I like & don’t like. I thinkRead More →

A Word on Brushes

This is mainly to test my Twitter integration again. Hoping this will post to twitter as well, but we’ll see. Still trying to tweak these settings. Anyway, I have a wide variety of brushes. All of them useful for specific purposes, but there’s one brush that I use far more than any other — The Citadel Starter Brush. It came with the starter paint set with like 8 colors in horrible pots. Colors unlabeled (but they are on the box), 10 Night Goblins, and the Citadel Starter Brush. I almost immediately replaced the paints with actual paint pots (though I did plow through the blackRead More →
