It's been a while since I posted. I don't have any minis to show right now. I've been working really hard on finding a Literary Rep. Seraphim is ready, which is weird for me to externalize. Weirder still to say I'm "shopping it around". Kids grow up too quick, ya know? #writing

I've been writing more lately. Taking a 5th pass at "Seraphim", my novel set in Kormundyr's grim future. My wife read over a chapter, asked me if Wizards would send the Pinkertons after me for using one of their characters. "Babe, that's my OC." "Oh." *Hits the vape* "Print it." #writing

Not enough lore on Kraid to say something spooky. I just think he's neat! Model by Schlossbauer! #3dprinting #dnd #metroid #minipainting

Today begins the Glenwood Arts Fest! My wife is a brilliant abstract artist, creating surrealist interpretations of the Major Arcana. #artsfest #tarot #acryllic #surrealism

Ruinblade Warlock, in the scheme of the Cult of the Comet! I don't really have a backstory for her yet. Enforcer for Set? Hunting the Hedrons to stop him? Again, faces are not my strong suit... #minipainting #3dprinting #dnd @cometlordminis.bsky.social

Meet the Dreameater! A vile creature who stalks in the night, feasting upon the dreams of blissfully unaware adventurers... #minipainting #3dprinting #dnd @cometlordminis.bsky.social

And I, JACK! THE PUMPKIN KING, have grown so tired of the same old thing... What a difference a few months make! #dnd #minipainting #3dprinting @mz4250.bsky.social

Cahokia legend tells of the bird that feeds upon man, the Piasa! He took me way longer than he should have... #minipainting #dnd #3dprinting

It's Sunday, so you know what that means! Printin', paintin', postin'! I printed and painted some Gnolls, a Crimson Rebel, an Ankheg, and Ciaren Olivieri, the Seraphim. #minipainting #dnd #3dprinting

I've been writing fiction for 15 years. Published two books during the pandemic. Now I'm working on something that's been in the works for my entire life. Just crossed the 300 page threshold. 🥂 #writing #aetherpunk

Behold, the King in Yellow! I've had this printed up for a long time, wasn't sure I could actually do him justice. Model by NSMiniatures over on Pixup! #minipainting #dnd #3dprinting

What do you get when you cross a Planetar, a holy messenger and champion of the gods, with the influence of the King in Yellow? Nothing good. #minipainting #dnd #3dprinting

Silver Dragons (like most Metallic Dragons) are not evil like their Chromatic cousins. This is Dwinyolkiir, who travels with a very odd group of humanoids, very odd folk indeed... My submission for this month's Print & Paint Contest hosted by @mz4250.bsky.social #minipainting #dnd #3dprinting

The Kirin is a creature from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean folklore. It is a supremely wise and fortuitous being. A force for good; a guardian of life which it holds sacrosanct, but a fierce opponent of the demonic and undead. #3dprinting #minipainting @mz4250.bsky.social designed the model!

It's been too long since I posted. Meet the Starhunter Dragon, a CR22 Gargantuan Aberration. "Dragon? Silly boy, there haven't been dragons in these parts in over a thousand cycles. And that... That is NOT a dragon!" @cometlordminis.bsky.social #3dprinting #minipainting

Meet the Redletter MkVII! #minipainting #3dprinting #dnd

When I was a kid, I would spend hours upon hours flying across The Planet in Disc 3, just listening to the music, discovering new materia, and grinding for rare loot. The Highwind is a very special ship for me. She's a little rusty, but she's got it where it counts. ⛵ #minipainting #3dprinting

I've felt disheartened lately, but I made an effort to scrape the build plate, reorder some resin, and do some printing. WIP - The Highwind! #3Dprinting #minipainting

Well now... How do you think my players would feel about fighting a Xenomorph?! *Spoilers, they hated it.*

"Alright, dumpling, you win... I'll give ye everything yer wee heart desires... But first, I'll be needin' a favor..." Annis Hags are brutal, violent cousins of the green skinned Hag. One might rarely find covens being led by an Annis, who bullies their 'sisters' into subservience. #minipainting

Finally, since I had the gold out, I hammered out some Syan Knights. They could use a little more silver, I think in the trim and chainmail, but I wanted something that fit with my Ornstein and Smough minis. ...have I posted those yet? #minipainting #3dprinting

Next we have a Gilded Devil - plus his coterie of Gilded Imps! #minipainting #3dprinting

I'm really about to fuck up my algorithm, cause I have a lot of shit to post. I needed some bandits, as well as practice painting lil minis. I get so frustrated with tiny details... Gimme something big to paint! #minipainting #3dprinting

I am writing a courtroom drama between competing Warlocks of a powerful Archfey. "Did you break your Pact?" I did not break my Pact. "Did you break your Pact?" I did not break my Pact! "The Prosecution requests a Zone of Truth; did you break your Pact?" I did not TECHNICALLY break my Pact!

That didn't take nearly as long as I thought... Meet the Breakfast Club. Banger, Mash, and Cho. Banger and Mash are the muscle, since their daddy was a giant. Cho is the brains, since her daddy was an Archdevil. #minipainting #3dprinting @mz4250.bsky.social

Working on a little something to stalk my players if they just so happen to encounter a pair of ogres... "You the lot fuckin' wit my little brothers?"

I also worked on some HeroForge minis today. From left to right... - The Hermit - Amanita Muscaria - Uncle Sazeral - Judge Balteus - Unnamed Alchemist - Amigo Friend or foe? You decide! #heroforge

I also happened upon some *choice* models through the power of keyboard alchemy. These fellas are gonna be fun to paint!

Painted up a bunch of goblins yesterday. Nothing too clean, honestly I might need to go back over them with some fine detailing. But in a pinch, you are ambushed by goblins on the road!

Do I have to paint him? Food coloring in the sauce produces some mean effects. If I wanna do slimes, or fire effects, I have options. Obviously, I did this guy in two batches, so my mixing was a little off. Thrilled with how this turned out. Will paint soon! #3dprinting

FOOD COLORING *d'oh* #3Dprinting

321.07mL of resin 27 hours of print time 4 sessions Might not end up being the physically largest piece I've ever done, but it will certainly be the most intricate. The Cult of the Comet continues to grow, with something end-game level. Stay tuned.

One of my greatest joys in life is whistling as I walk home. Simple, effective. Today I had FFVII stuck in my head. Soon as I approach the courtyard, my little ones know that I'm near. I whistle out the first couple notes, and a cat appears in the window, eager for dinner. That's love. ❤️

Maintenance is needed. Fan needs replacing, FEP needs replacing, Z-Axis needed lubing. Everything needs a minute to cool. #3Dprinting

Got tired of posting every single day. Not too much to print, paint, or post. Just popping in to say hello!

Kveik yeast going crazy in the fermenter 12 hours after pitching. Yes, there was a blow-off. ... Or three... #homebrew

Also! No one show this to my D&D group, I'll know it was you. For the time being, I'm calling them the "Seekers" but my last group called themselves "Blood, Leather, and Titties," so anything is possible at this rate. #heroforge #minipainting

The file name for this Elder Tempest was "one_piece_presupported_are_you_crazy_seriously_why.stl". I have an answer: yes. I refuse to elaborate. #3dprinting @mz4250.bsky.social

It's brew day. German Pilsner incoming! #homebrew

Progress continues on this new crew of adventurers. Human, Satyr, Firbolg, Orc, and Lizardfolk! #minipainting #heroforge

Somehow, the print gods were favorable. Thank you print gods. #heroforge #3dprinting #minipainting

My friend commanded me to post Equinox Everdawn, a powerful Sorcerer who commands light and shadow. She was part of the Sentinels "East Coast Crew" before things went south... @tbgkaru.bsky.social inspired the character with their Equinox #humanframe and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

In Kormundyr's 10th Era, new heroes rise to face the challenges of the day - fortune tellers, priests, acolytes, fathers, and nobles; adventurers come in all shapes and sizes... What awaits our heroes as they begin their journey? I can say only this; you meet, as folk so often do, in a tavern. 🍻

I know everyone is boycotting online retailers right now, but as my books are about piracy, I've switched the e-book on Kindle to free. Would mean a lot if folks grabbed one or both. If I ever get back to Book 3, I'll likely consider a different independent publisher. #scifi #author

The backlog continues to grow... Goblins, ogres, Oni, oh my! #minipainting #3dprinting

Gloespaar'vanach, Sire of the Outer Maremagnum

"Mumsie says Oy gots the pre'iest eyes." Ogres are not truly giants, but somewhere in the family tree to be sure. Frightfully low intelligence, and overwhelming strength at the worst of times, Ogres make a name for themselves in the wilds of Kormundyr. #minipainting #3dprinting

All good adventures start with fights against wolves! Everybody knows that! In Kormundyr, wolves are considered a very bad omen - the Mad God Thorn was their patron, and rumors surrounding his application of Lycanthropes to do his bidding has caused their reputation to plummet.

Prepare for anything, and you'll never be caught unawares when you roll up an encounter with three wolves led by a dire, four samurai, three bandits, two Grue, and a partridge in a pear tree... This is why I like big models.

Oh you thought that last Cthulhu was the real deal? You thought he was the big bad? HAHAHA Meet the Malachi - which I gave a Cthulhu paint job. #minipainting @cometlordminis.bsky.social
