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.

Painted up the wonderfully cursed Squack from @epicduck.com with @thearmypainter.bsky.social Warpaint Fantatic paints. I think the rainbow feathers really sell it.

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.

Got all my ducks in a row. @epicduck.com

Check out the T. U. B. - the Tactically Useful Bathtub. This proxy is the perfect way to deliver your rubber duck Marines to the front lines - or just to display them on your desk. This is the DuckDrop loyalty reward for my Tribe next month til the end of May!

@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

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.

All hail Mallardthrope! Painted up this glorious sculpt from @epicduck.com last night. .stl is available on #MyMiniFactory

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 :)

Just a reminder.

The Quack-temptor Class Breadnought is complete! This should be going out to DuckDrop members as the winter loyalty reward in the morning. This is my most complex design to date and I'm so happy with it!

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!

I'm working on the December Loyalty Reward for my Tribe, DuckDrop. I'm worried it might be a few days late, but it's also the most complex model I've ever designed. Thanks to Ash at GMG, it's officially named the Quack-temptor Class Breadnought 😂

I challenged myself to paint this Warhammer Underworlds warband in 2 hours, painting with a stopwatch. At 2 hours I want exactly happy with it, but it was at least table ready. I put another 40 minutes or so into then to get here, and I'll probably do another 30 just wrapping up smaller details.

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.

This weekend I painted the other side of the cloak and a bit more armor nmm and also repaired the broken hair-plume with a little bit of tamiya putty. I wanted to go all in on the two different sides of the fabric, in color and texture. #nmm #warhammercommunity #miniature #miniaturepainting

True.

The Squack is definitely one of the weirder things I've sculpted. Originally this was supposed to be more Rubber-Duck-like, but it started taking on a life of its own. After I complete this one, I might need to go back to the drawing board and re-envision the Rubber Duck version 😂

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 😂
