Opening Shop
I’ve kept this pretty under wraps for the most part but I am happy to announce I am one step closer to opening my shop to sell, for now, pre-painted miniatures by me!

February Down
I didn’t get much done this month. I’ve been dealing with some personal stuff and haven’t had a lot of painting time. I did get a little painting done.

Minivember: The Last, A Final Update
I finished Minivember about 9 PM last night. I will sometime this week sit down and take good photos and a group shot. If I’ve done my math right I’ve painted 77 minis in the last month. This is obviously well above the 30 mini mark but this only adds up to 30 unique sculpts. Continue reading “Minivember: The Last, A Final Update”
