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!

Another Cygnar Warjack (nearly) complete! Basing and the tiny optic on the side of his head left to go 😂

Going to let the existing oil cure for a day, then varnish this and try to Go Grimdarker!

Epic Duck Studios @epicduck.com · 08/11/2025

And I think it worked too well because it didn't really change much besides adding a bit of a grunge look. I probably should have added a little Van Dyke Brown into the oil slush to really pull the Grimdarkittude up. The great thing about oil washes is I can still go back and do that! /3

The Rubber Duck Mimic is definitely still one of my favourite designs ❤️ pretty sure I quoted John in the description 😂

I'm old enough to remember when Halo 1 was planned as a PC game before Xbox came around 😂 they actually used it in an nvidia commercial in ~2001 youtu.be/fElUNYerY0w?...

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 Goblin Menace Heroes are nearly done! Actually I finished them last night around 11pm but didn't get a final picture yet 😂

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.

A small green goblin dressed in blue robes and a wizard hat, with a wooden staff.

A small green goblin miniature, dressed as a sort of cleric, with earrings and a staff. He's wearing linen garments with orange trim.

A small green goblin miniature resembling a classic fantasy Berserker - leather clothing with white fur trim, a purple Mohawk with a braid in the back, wildly swinging an axe.

I'm painting up all 10 Heroes for Tom Mason's next Goblin Menace Kickstarter! I'm going with a classic vibrant green for this batch, but I have 10 of my own I'll be doing other things with :)

How did I miss this? ❤️❤️❤️

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.

Epic Duck Studios @epicduck.com · 19/03/2025

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.

Lol for a moment I thought those were the Earthworm Jim Marine heads at the top of the second image too :) please share the finished Cap Duckys!

Yeah I love the juxtaposition of spending my days painting and designing toys, against the backdrop of possible American invasion into Canada. It's not wearing me down at all.

@yaumasta.bsky.social and I played the second game of our small Carnevale campaign a couple weeks ago, but I finally got it down in words and pictures. You can read it here: zonion.net/2025/02/chas... #carnevale #ttcombat #battlereport

Chase Them Down – Carnevale Action Report

We continue our Carnevale campaign, as the Patricians launch a chase to hunt down their mysterious attackers.

I mean, I scaled it up like 400% for the bust and it's great. Some details are a *little* soft and simple compared to something sculpted *at* scale, but not distractingly so.

My stream generally starts a bit over an hour ago. My children were such *bundles of joy* this morning that I'm just now finishing my own breakfast and pre-work housekeeping. My creative energy is nearly zero... But we push on. And sometimes we just play games.

020

I adapted the bust from a 32mm mini by Dragon Trapper's Lodge - so it's kind of a unique piece right now :) Pulled their sculpt into Zbrush and hacked some parts off, resculpted the bottom a little, and added a plinth.

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 mean I might be biased, but it was definitely enjoyable. I really strived to balance areas of detail with areas of rest, and leave a lot of opportunity for expression.

Epic Duck Studios @epicduck.com · 16/01/2025

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.

A bust of a man in a hoodie and cyberpunk visor; a round display with an 8 bit heart is located in the middle of his chest.

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.

Crappy Preview Time! January's DuckDrop theme is "QuaX-Men 97" with Weapon QuaX leading the charge. He'll be available through my MyMiniFactory Tribe for just 2 bucks next month!

Love it! I ended up making these headswaps over the summer... Now I think I need to make a Chain-hockey-stick to complete the look 😂

Epic Duck Studios @epicduck.com · 27/12/2024

Nice! I've created so many 40k ducks these last few months, I think my next focus will be on creating enough Marine ducks for a Kill Team 😂
