I've wanted to build this since DOOM 2016. I turned a McFarlane Doom Slayer and a broken Revenant into a brutal light-up diorama. Full build: youtu.be/A6Tdzt0Wmmc Special thanks to @andrewhulshult.bsky.social for providing the insane soundtrack!

Half-Life is my Dad's favorite game so for his Birthday I made him a life-size Headcrab. The project inspired me to start a YouTube channel documenting the process - it also turned into a love letter to the game. Would love to hear your thoughts! youtu.be/-Q4K-SUdPjE?...

There's been a lot of people asking for the System Shock Remake thumbnail so here's the two versions. One is slightly brighter on the edge but the other is darker so might be better for a wallpaper or something.

Over the past few nights I've been painstakingly remaking/remastering this classic comic book cover. It's one of my favorites - The final version is 24x36 at 300dpi and I think it'd make an awesome poster!

Small update! I sanded the bondo spot putty and have spayed filler primer. I'm going to sand a few little places then start painting! I think I'm going to make some blood from UV resin to make it really gooey 🤔
