Hey there, here's my version of Ranganathan ,Master Lorekeeper. Aaaaalll the books. Much fun was had with all the little bits. 75mm and solid....I printed the solid base instead of the hollow one, doh! #miniatures #miniaturepainting #minipainting #proacryl #twothincoats #ranganathan #lootstudios

Finished up this fun little guy. He served well as a distraction from the contest pieces. Don't remember where he's from, but fun nonetheless!! #miniaturepainting #paintingminis #minipainting #figurepainting #proacryl #twothincoats

Woohoo, I got Commended for Large Model in the Squidmar Open! What an honor amongst so many brilliant artists, I’m very excited!

Latest commission be done. It was a blast bringing this fellow to life (or death, as it were)! Death Dealer by @mindworkgames Artist: Frank Frazetta Sculptor: Antonio Marzii Streaming on Twitch @smilingbeaglestudio #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #figurepainting #minipainting

Been a little radio silent on socials these days....quite busy! Continuing work on Uther bust from @blackcrowminiatures and a Laedria the Necromancer diorama from @whitewerewolftavern. Both are for competition and are being streamed on Twitch @smilingbeaglestudio. Not quite camera ready, ATM.

What an exciting year! Receiving a gold, silver and best in category at NovaOpen, meet tons of new friends and improving on techniques that I have been intentionally working on. Thanks for all your support! Twitch @smilingbeaglestudio #miniaturepainting #paintingminis #art #artvsartist2025
