Commissions
At this time I am no longer accepting new commission clients. I will update again about this near the end of 2018, and some spots may open up by then. It’s just too early to tell.
Update
Well…it’s become obvious to me that I’d much rather spend my time painting than updating a website, so expect some changes to this site in the coming months! Good changes…I promise. I am, as always, accepting new commission clients. Currently, I am booking single models April onward, and larger projects June onward.
Reaper 03548 Twyla Female Hellborn Warrior
Here is a gaming standard commission I just finished. She was a lot of fun to paint. Before I started, I did a quick search to find picture of painted versions of her because when bare metal her face looked…wonky…and I wanted to have some idea of what I was dealing with. Turns out there are next to no painted pictures of her out there. It also turned out that her face wasn’t wonky! She just had an awesome smirk. It’s so hard to tell what things are sometimes when they’re shiny metal! Anyways, here she is. I hope you all like her!
Arcadia Quest Heroes
So it’s been a while since I’ve updated. I entered models in 2015’s Capital Palette at the NOVA Open, and my Nocturna Huntress took 1st in Fantasy Large, my Reaper Finari took 3rd in Fantasy Single, and my Knight Models The Flash took 3rd in Sci-Fi Single. I’ll put pictures of them, and a lot of other models I’ve done since then, up soon. In the mean time, here are some pictures of an Arcadia Quest commission I just finished! These were SO much fun. I have two more Arcadia Quest commissions for later this spring and summer, so I will end up painting pretty much all the rest of the figures as well. Also, for commission scheduling…In case you are looking at having a project done, I am now 100% booked in March and April. I have a couple spots for smaller projects in May and June. I am again 100% booked in July and August. After that is much more open, although the first part of September is also full.
Scheduling update
I haven’t updated in a while, but I’m hoping to fix that soon with pictures of several projects including some Raging Heroes Blood Vestals and Knight Models The Flash, as well as a Khador EXTREMOTH! Those models will all be entries into this year’s Capital Palette at the NOVA Open.
As for commission scheduling, at this point I am scheduling for November as I’m fully booked until then with several very large projects and a few smaller ones as well. Painted models make great gifts, and now’s definitely the time to get on the books for that! Also, I am selling gift certificates of any denomination $15+. Gift certificates are good for painting services only and cannot be applied to the cost of purchasing a model or postage to ship it. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a commission or purchase a gift certificate!
Khador Juggernaut
I totally forgot to take WIP pictures as I did the base. I used Woodland Scenics Soft Flake Snow for the snow, and Woodland Scenics Water Effects with a little bit of VMC Verdigris glaze mixed in for the ice. In the future, I think I will use a white ink instead of the VMC paint so the ice is a bit more transparent.
WIP Khador Juggernaut
Here is another WIP of the Khador Juggernaut. At this point I have done salt and hairspray chipping, an oil wash, and some Secret Weapon weathering pigments (so far only on the arms, and not finished). I’ve learned a lot so far about weathering painting this model. It is the first one I’ve done this much weathering on.
