Explain your @ Getting serious about mini painting and wanting to share my work, I didn't want to use my real name or the joke gamer tag (devoid of the sins of the teenaged cis white male, but still). I wanted to have a paint reference and I like naming taverns. Thus, The Tinted Warlock was born.

Whoops. I dropped off again. But I'm here! Did I mention that I medaled in my division of the single miniature category of @dgsgames.bsky.social's painting competition? #paintingminiatures #miniatures

Day 2 of Adepticon! I mostly had classes and seminars. I did some hands on TMM painting meant to be display level. Taught by Bob Cohoon. #adepticon #paintingminis #painting #miniatures

Great day 1 at Adepticon! Kings of War Big Game run incredibly well by Cyle, even if he spells our name wrong. Tried the new MSP line (like them!). Met up with the Relic Buds. And so much else. Lovely conversations with so many people. #adepticon2026

It's time for another first page excerpt from one of my stories. "As You Say, So They Are" is a war story of the monsters we create and those we become. It was published in the "Shift" anthology, which you can pick up here: www.inkalchemybooks.com/shift

As You Say, So They Are

The final echoes of shots were still ringing in Elijah’s ears. His nose burned with the reek of gunpowder, searing metal, and scorched plastic. His heart pounded with a percussive pell-mell of adrenaline and the ghosts of the artillery rounds that had cleared the way for them into town.
He knew better than to pop his head up in case they’d not destroyed the ambush entirely. Poking your head up when the...

This week, I'll share the first page of each of the stories I've had published in Ink Alchemy anthologies. If one catches your eye, help out Ink Alchemy and buy a book, won't you? Starting with our first anthology, Beware the Light, which you can find here: www.inkalchemybooks.com/beware-the-l...

Beware the Light | Ink Alchemy Books

A collection of five cautionary tales against things that lurk in the light. Rebirth, monsters living among us, the glitter of gold, god himself, and a drug that lets you see in the dark. Delightfully...

A spooky, scary skeleton necromancer by @diehardminiatures.bsky.social. I love this characterful little sculpt.

Listen up! Stuff has been low in my life lately and hobbying has kept me going. I'd emphasize that you should work on stuff that speaks to you best when you're down. I pushed through a hard project and now that it's done, I wish I'd shelved it and painted stuff that spoke to me more for a bit.

We take to the skies! My Sky Sister for Freeblades. She's properly based and painted now. I sculpted all the saddle and such because it didn't look complete to me without it. Miniature from @dgsgames.bsky.social.

Hey there #booksky! I mostly post pictures of miniatures I'm painting, but I'm actually also an author. My traditional fiction is my favorite work. I've been in three anthologies put out by Ink Alchemy Books: Beware the Light, Shift, and Weirdscapes.

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! Use only one photograph of tiny painted folks to convince people to follow you.

A ghostly lady surrounded by two crazed banshees. She is wearing a shroud through which can be seen her skull. She has a golden crown shaped like brambles and is holding a scepter aloft. Roses surround here. The ghastly trio float above a tumbledown stone wall and toppled gravestone. Skulls are scared about and the grass looks blighted.

If someone clicked on you in an RTS, what would your voice lines be? "I got this." "Rock on." "Huh?" "Let's get it!" "Still breathin'" "Try turning it off and on again." "Where'd I put that thing?" "What was I doing again?" "No worries." (Is worried/annoyed) "No worries." (Truly)

A Sky Sister for Freeblades. I sculpted the saddle and such because the main model is just riding bareback and I didn't think it looked right. I'm actually pretty happy with it. I don't sculpt that much! Mini from @dgsgames.bsky.social #FaelonFriday #Freeblades #miniatures #paintingminiatures

A close-up of the sky sister herself. She's got a long black braid, a purple poncho, and a bow. She's just loosed an arrow.

A Sky Sister miniature for Freeblades. It depicts a woman with a bow on the back of a bat-like pterodactyl creature.
