I am always exploring new ways to make art. From illustrations that I turn into my ownt-shirts, to creating my own costumes. Recently I have picked up miniature painting, and have started makingvideosof my art process.

2nd player character from the @manticgames BarRoom Brawl Advent #boardgame
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
An homage to @asotband , based on the lore of their character, Udoroth. A hand of an imp of Udoroth, nailed to his seal. A ward against the demon lord to avoid his prying eyes and evil grasp.
After seeing this hand in my bits box, I had an urge to make an oddities shop style prop, I think it came out pretty good!
The first two figures from @manticgames Advent #boardgame BarRoom Brawl. Looking forward to seeing what is next!
#paintingminiatures #miniaturepainting
And the hungry vampires are done! That finishes off the #hellboytheboardgame expansion, almost done with the full box!
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #boardgames
Man-bat! The big bad of Hellboy in Mexico is done, just a few more minions, and the expansion will be done!
#hellboytheboardgame #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
Rennfest was hit with intense rain, we couldn't find anywhere to hide, and mud with a cane is a nasty mix. So we had to leave early, but I'm netting as much use of this tartan as I can, I'm not going home yet!
Halloween time means spooky theme minis! #hellboy in mexico expansion for #hellboytheboardgame , up next is the baddies these heroes will face off against.

Rennfest opening weekend, it was fun the but the weather was BRUTAL! The humidity was so intense I had to leave my jacket in the car.
Now I gotta figure out what to wear next.
Some classic oldhammer! These figs are so different to prep and paint, I learned a lot through this one.

Had to make sure this fella was finished before the big guy comes to town! Krampus from @manticgames #hellboytheboardgame
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #hellboy
Today's paint, a fun fig from @stoneking_components . Blue glow is a challenge, ill have to try some different methods.
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
This Pengu from @brokenanvilminiatures holds a special place in my heart. The Thing is one of my favorite movies and when I saw this sculpt I knew I had to paint it. Painting the source lighting was a blast, I just fell into the zone and am so proud with how it came out.
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #brokenanvilminis #brokenanvilminiatures
This was such fun to make. I am so glad with how it came out, and I'm glad I found good use for craft scrap! I'm already thinking of what the next diorama may be.
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
Just needs a bit of polish and these boys are complete! After some minor details I'll assemble the diorama and ittl be done!
#miniaturepainting #miniatures #paintingminiatures
Steady progress, the bodies are mostly done, once I get some layers on the heads I'll attach them and adjust the colors as a whole.
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #truewip
Mini ork fort!
Scrap bashing a base was so fun, I've got another idea already for what to do next, though I need to finish the minis for this piece first.
#miniaturepainting #miniatures #paintingminiatures
Today was so nice we decided to start working on our yard! With the yard being relatively small we decided to make a fairy garden to accent the tree garden without choking the roots. More progress to come!
Pengu Steam Powered Foreman from @brokenanvilminiatures , I love these little guys! So much energy in this sculpt.
#miniatures #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #brokenanvilminiatures
Played some #overboss by @brotherwisegames tonight, this game is always a joy to put on the table!
It was a close game, 63 to 69 the crystals came in handy! If you don't have this game, do yourself a favor and pick it up!
#boardgames #tabletop
Pengu!
I'm so glad I subscribed to @brokenanvilminiatures , their figures do not disappoint! Looking forward to painting the others I have printed out.
#miniatures #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #minipainting #bam #brokenanvilminiatures #brokenanvilminis
The second item painted tonight was this chest for tabletop components, ill use this for storing loot in games or as a bank for tokens. Tomorrow is priming and assembly!
#miniatures #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
This mummy was a pain in the butt. The paints would chalk up on me, or the consistency would be wrong. The brushes started to show their age, and for some reason I was super shaky today.
But it's important to share the meh with the great, it provides important perspective.
#miniatures #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
I painted a mini me! Now to figure out how I want to base/display it!
#miniatures #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #minipainting #heroforgeminis #heroforge
Took a break yesterday, and came back reinvigorated!
I love how the shadows and bone turned out, and the red with black combo was a good color choice for this fig, now on to the next!
#miniatures #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #minipainting
Great father, what gifts you give!
This was a fun figure to paint, after seeing this model from @stoneking_components , I knew how I'd have to theme it!

When you got old Warhammer boyz sprues, you gotta just make some boyz.
I've never messed with Warhammer minis, but I have a good bit sitting around from my old Warhammer Online days. Lookin forward to finishing the other sprues later!

It's nice to look back and see what you have worked on over the year. It's surprising what you forget as the months go by.
Even with moving taking up a good bit of the year. I created some logos for a few bands and brands, as well as a few graphics for the fun of it. Also, after building out a new painting table, I got some minis painted up! Looking forward to being more artsy next year!
#artvsartist2021 #miniaturepainting #minipainting #illustration
GW technical ardcoat is great for adding wet texture to figures. I sealed the paint with a matte varnish and then brushed on the ardcoat on the wounds, brain, and mouth. It adds so much!
Calling this one done. After I prime it I'll add some technical coat to make the wounds and brain look wet, but for now I'm happy with how this came out.
This figure is from @stoneking_components, very fun to paint, I highly recommend checking them out!
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
Some painting practice to speed up for better models faster.
I spend way too long painting one figure, so it makes me hesitant to paint. I hyper focus and if I don't get to a good stop point I can't sleep. So it's always both too early, and too late to paint. So this time I sat down and just set a few hours and said I'll stop when the time hits.
I'll revisit the zombie later, but I'm calling the skeleton a good learning experience and done.
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
I finally got this awesome back patch in the mail! I made the design last year and I've wanted to have it printed for some time now. I can't wait to assemble this battle jacket and fill it out!
Since it's Orktober I knew I had to hit this mini up first, and with its hair I had to make a version of myself, down the the free hand kilt! It feels so good to paint again, and I'm so happy with the result.
This figure is from @stoneking_components , they have great looking sculpts and are a lot of fun to paint, I highly recommend you check them out!
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #orctober
I've been in a big slump after moving, and just couldn't pull myself up to start painting. I just felt uninspired and down lately, it sucks when you feel loss of interest in the things you love.
Tonight I made myself just sit down and do it, it was so nice to get back.
Stay tuned for the final result!
Today I had the chance to try the #stevenrhodes games collection, I have tried 2 of the 3 games and they are a lot of fun.
Let's summon demons can be a really cutthroat game if you want it to be, very solid gameplay.
Let's dig for treasure is a good random chance and odds game that you gotta push your luck to win, great for two or more players in all sorts of situations.
I look forward to playing the third!
Just got a bug to make something. Jumped over to my desk and dug through my bits boxes and bam, surprise wine earrings for the waifu @duchessofdork.
It's fun to just make stuff for the sake of making stuff.
Babies first Greenskin! I need to test out some colors, so what better way to do so with an ork figure I've been holding on to for a while, this isn't attached to anything specific so I can have some painting fun without worrying about messing it up.
It has been quite a while since I had my painting supplies, well I'm all moved in now and ready to pick up a brush! I am so excited to get back into the hobby again.
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
The final hero from Minions of Mordak, now I have to entertain myself with other forms of art until I get my paints back!
#longlivemordak #downwithmordak #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #tabletop
Second to last mini painted before I had to put my table away! Almost done with all the heroes for valor and villainy: Minions of Mordak
#miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #downwithmordak #longlivemordak #tabletop
I need to pack away all my painting tomorrow, so tonight, I need to finish these!
I'll be streaming my painting starting at 8:30pm est, come hang out and if you have any, come hobby along!
Twitch.tv/thepotatofoot
My copy of #overboss arrived today! The game looks great and I had a chance to play the solo version which was a lot of fun, the designers #AaronMesburne and #KevinRuss did a great job! My first try went pretty well, you can see the score on the last image.
The ghost rogue Loxley from @skyboundtabletop valor and villany minions of Mordak.
#downwithmordak #longlivemordak #tabletop #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
Home alone on a Friday night? Me too! So at 7:30 EST I'm going to work through these figs for the evening, come hang out and art along!
Twitch.tv/thepotatofoot
Hopping on to twitch tonight at 9pm EST, come say hi! I'll be working on the skin and gold of this figure, let's see how far I can get!
Twitch.com/thepotatofoot
Tried out miliput for the first time. I'm glad I dove in, I was able to reform the elbow that was broken on shipping and it looks like all the holes have been filled well. Now to wait and sand smooth!
Today at 3pm EST, I'm going to stream some painting, and you can decide which one I paint! Make your vote and if you want to come hang out, you can find ne on twitch.tv/thepotatofoot
Scrutt from Valor and Villany Minions of Mordak. I changed the color of his skin after noticing he looks like of of my friends DnD characters!
#downwithmordak #longlivemordak #tabletop #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
Tonight twitch stream test went pretty smooth. Still a few kinks to hammer out, and not sure why my laptop crashed the last time I streamed, but hopefully that was a fluke! Tonight was the skin, next will be the clothes and armor!
I was able to sneak in two final hellboy minis before the end of the year. Kriegaffe and the base for holiday hellboy. It was a pretty productive year for art, I'm excited to do even more this year!
#hellboytheboardgame #hellboy #tabletop #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
I've been waiting for the holidays to finally paint this, here is the big red in red, holiday Hellboy! Happy holidays everyone!
#hellboy #hellboytheboardgame #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #tabletop
The goblin bard, Wugner. I was inspired to add a little twist to the character and paint his clothing in the style of Jaskier from the Witcher.
#downwithmordak #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #tabletop
Started painting the figures from valor and villany: minions of Mordak by @skyboundtabletop . @duchessofdork liked this character so I themed it after her.
#downwithmordak #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures
B.P.R.D. agents Kate Corrigan, Bud Waller, and Sidney Leach are ready for assignment!
