I was solo parenting today and my daughter needed 100% of my time for a bit, so I set my son up in my studio, showed him the box of @thearmypainter Speed Paints, and left him alone for an hour. 1/?

I give you, the Fluck (fleshy duck). I had so much fun with this! Thanks for the fantastic sculpts, @epicduck.com! Painted as inspired by ACMiniatures' flesh nids, using Cuttlefish Colors paints and Dirty Down Gore. #miniaturepainting #alwayslearning #arting #paintmoreducks #fluck

Where's the lie though? I get a lot less post interaction here, but it feels more focused and personal.

I just realized the "another" in my last post didn't make sense because I forgot to share Plugger, Cygnar's foremost producer of Holes-in-Things!

I'm working on a Cygnar Gravediggers commission for a client, and thought it was a good opportunity sculpt some themed bases to go with them. I made a few custom Insert brushes to move the job along, and I've since been making Basing Bits and other size bases from the same work.

I've been told I don't post enough on Bluesky - probably because I stopped using Twitter about 5 years ago so I didn't have a Tweeting habit to transfer over anymore. Anyway, here's a preview of a ridiculous project I'm working on. Yes, it's wargaming terrain 😂

The first 3 Goblins of 10 from Tom Mason's Goblin Menace Heroes painted up for his Kickstarter! These little sculpts have so much character and they're just genuinely fun to paint.

It may surprise you to know I still know how to paint 😂 Akao from Capsule Chibi painted for a client. There's a few tiny blemishes I need to fix in the morning, but it's basically done!

Almost done working on the Daredevil Diorama! I made a last minute change to the exposition plate, and mounted the background into the shadowbox. Daredevil still needs paint, and Bullseye is about 50% done.

Recent work on the Daredevil Diorama featuring Daredevil and Zombie Bullseye from CMON's Marvel Zombies game. Tomorrow I'll be painting the characters and a replacement Exposition plate.

Watching @epicduck.com comic style tutorials in prep for painting the Cyberpunk Edgerunners box. I think it'll look great in that style and give off anime vibes.

I'm not even sure how to describe how thrilled I am with this project. I'm trying new things, I'm mashing up influences, I'm breaking down references and improving my artistic clarity... With a silly cow man. Sometimes it's ok to let squirrels chew on the wiring.

Sketching up some ideas for my next bust, and I think we have a winner here! I'm going to tie it back to my Seeker 714 Bust with some similar clothing elements, but making the whole character more obviously human. A robot cat is curled up in her hood, behind her neck for some extra Awwww factor.

I think I'm done working on this bust. The journey from forgotten-sketchbook-page to a fully realised bust has been wonderful, and frankly something I needed as an artist. On an unrelated note, freehanding pixels SUCKS. Anyway, this guy is available on my MyMiniFactory shop for printing 🤩

I put a little more love (hah!) into my Seeker 714 Bust. I decided that round detail in his chest was going to be a display for... Something. Emotional state? What he's seeking? Maybe both.

I sketched this character years ago, maybe 2018. A few weeks ago I rediscovered it in an old Sketch book, and decided to sculpt it. Today, I started painting it. It's been so therapeutic creating something that's uniquely my own. The files are up on MyMiniFactory if you want one too :)
The original pencil sketch I found in an old sketch book - it shows a character in a hoodie, worn over a full enclosed helmet.The successful test print of the completed sculpt.Painting has begun! A turquoise light illuminates the bust from the lower right, while a magenta light hits the back upper left in opposition. Some comic style black lining is done.

I designed a plinth to pair with this Monsterpocalypse mini I'm painting for a client. The scale means it probably has very limited use beyond this, but I love the result.

Who had "Gingerbread Rubber Duck ornament" on their list? Cause this one happened so fast it didn't even make it on the idea board 😂 A second batch of test Prints with a bit more support are running now. This will be going out to all DuckDrop tiers this month as a Thank You 🎁🎄

This had this doofus for just over a month and he's easily doubled in size. The fact that he lays down with his hind legs pointing backwards doesn't help the illusion 😂

Epic Duck Studios @epicduck.com · 29/11/2024
I think Cthulhu is nearly done! I'm pretty sure this is more drybrushing and airbrushing than I've done in my entire life, on a single figure. Standing over 2 feet tall, it's also the largest piece I've ever done. I have a second of these in my store room and I'm really tempted to bust it out soon.

Some Gorilla Glue epoxy, Green Stuff, and Milliput Black later, Cthulhu's wings are affixed and blended in. The bottom bit of each wing was warped and didn't line up with the groove on the back at all, so I trimmed the last inch or so off, cut away the grooves, and sculpted in some filler detail.

Epic Duck Studios @epicduck.com · 26/11/2024
This monster is on my desk today and for the next while. Sitting just over 24 inches tall, this is one of the largest projects I've ever tackled. Today I pried Cthulhu from his base and started working the wings into shape - they're a truly terrible fit but enough epoxy and Green Stuff will solve it

So here's the thing. I'm really excited about Trench Crusade on an intellectual level. The community is fire and seems super supportive, and it has a lot of energy. But man, the art style is NOT for me. I don't love the whole ultra-grim-dark/body-horror vibe. 1/
