Ghost in Salem, MA. Mini painting social mainly and maybe some printmaking.

Final assembly for the Hollow King. Now to obsess over the last 5% of fiddly detail while constantly second guessing myself. Yay? #warhammer #soulblight #aos #minipainting #nerdlings #vampire

#wip of a B for Bertie bot from Konflikt47 as I get around to building his display. Trying to manage momentum with a few different projects as I get ready for Wicked Brush in December. I've found if I go ALL IN on a single piece I start to make some... impulsive choices. #minipainting #nerdlings

And here's just the vampire after some shadow spritz. Not quite ready to glue the subassembly together, but need him whole-ish to make sure I get stuff like light and eyes lined up right

Vampire head. Had some huge "oh snap guess I have to buy a new box" setbacks with this project, but getting back on track. #warhammer #minipainting #nerdlings #vampire #wip

Pew Pew Pew! My Tarkshya Interception Wing for Infinity. The pilot mini might take longer as like many ALEPH bots, its spindly thin arm fell off and needs to be reglued. #minipainting #nerdlings #infinity #cyberpunk

Too windy to paint outside, but got some work done. Still need to finish the belt but I'm on vacation and it's beer o'clock. #minipainting #nerdlings

Nice day outside in Salem, took some time off for spooky season, so might sit out and do some plein air painting while I watch tourists drive by lost and looking for parking. Rolled a 46 - I think previous zorn palette work means I can coax some skin tone from this! #minipainting #nerdlings

More work on the vampire. Went in and darkened the background significantly, but still feeling I'm missing something. Might go in with some blue and stipple/dry brush in some more texture back there? I dunno. Thoughts? #wip #minipainting #nerdlings #warhammer

Part Post a Vampire, part Seeking Advice. Should I keep darkening the shadows? I'm worried that if I go too deep I'll lose the readability of the scene and have a desaturated bleh. #vampire #minipainting #nerdlings #warhammer

More vampire progress. Brought up the parts in light to their max, now to shade back down again. #warhammer #wip #minipainting #nerdlings #vampire

Progress! Blocking in the color - the parts in the light will be much more saturated than those in shadow. Still not sure how I want to do her hair/skin yet. #wipwednesday #minipainting #vampires

Planning out a spoopy October project and need some help. I'd like to stage a reference of this vampire standing in these shadows. What's the best setup to achieve that? Basic flailing with flashlight and cardboard has not yielded crisp silhouette shadows. #minipainting #advice #nerdlings #wip

More Deck of Many Colors referenced painting over a dreary nor'easter Sunday. #minipainting #warhammer #nerdlings #underworlds #ghost

Deck of Many Colors in action. Pretty much exactly what I wanted - come home after a Saturday shift, draw a card and grab something off the pile and just get to it. #minipainting #nerdlings #warhammer #ninjon

Actually played #infinitythegame last night and did pretty well, mainly due to a HMG TR bot rolling godlike and this Kinnara Scoutbot pretty much destroying the YJ player's flank. Vulcan shotgun, my beloved. #minipainting #nerdlings #wargame #cyberpunk

In a bit of a hobby holding pattern as I wait for the Deck of Many Colors to fuel one of mini momentum, so have been doing a bunch of boring basing stuff that's not that sexy to share. So anyways, here's a Hadrey. #minipainting #nerdlings #fantasy

Joan Cena. Sorry if she is hard to see, but I painted up a resin print of my local #infinitythegame mascot. Will likely use her as proxy for Pilot X because why not? See, Joan d'Arc is an in-game character and John Cena is from the area so... #minipainting #nerdlings #cena #infinity #cyberpunk

#wipwednesday More very decidedly non-robot content as I continue to battle with my ancient foes - eyes and NMM. #minipainting #nerdlings #goblin #goblinmode

Her skintone came from a happy accident when a blob of ProAcryl Dark Hot Pink flowed into some SoFlat Yellow Green on my wet palette overnight. Based her skin with the pink and worked in more and more yellow green to the mix as I layered up.

After a weekend painting cyberpunk robots, treating myself to something in a completely different direction. #minipainting #nerdlings #fantasy #dnd

A trio of remotes from #infinitythegame I finished up over the weekend. Imagine being the engineer who designed the spider bot just FUMIN' at the coworker getting all the design awards for "What if dog, but robot?" #minipainting #nerdlings #robots

The Warhammer Alliance box showed up at work yesterday, so put a set of minis together to see what we are working with. Hopefully this year's crop of students are less savage so we can actually run the program and not do take home kits. #warhammer #nerdlings #minipainting #wipwednesday

Nyarlathotep Bust by Ogareg Miniatures. Since I live in Arkham (Salem), I figured I'd use one of the graveyards HPL visited as my backdrop. #lovecraft #minipainting #nerdlings #cthulhu #arkham #salem

More work on Bertie. I'd try to brighten up the brass more but I think that goes against his battlefield Johnny 5 demeanor. #konflikt47 #minipainting #nerdlings

Started a Bertie. Have tried to post this like five times today but this app is trraaaasssh. #minipainting #nerdlings #konflikt47 #wipwednesday

Got gifted this. Am I in danger? How do you even paint these guys? Prime on the sprue then assemble or after assembly? Never really worked with articulated models before and know paint can mess with joints and fittings. #gunpla #gundam #model #nerdlings #mecha

Getting over a cold, so more mindless Reacher watching than painting this week. Still, found some motivation to start in on this Weird Boy I picked up at Ironweld this summer. #minipainting #nerdlings #warhammer #orks #wip #40k

Struggling through the jet lag haze to get back on the paint again. Started with a wizard I picked up from Midlam Miniatures. #minipainting #wizard #fantasy #nerdlings

Vacation haul. Due to the Internet and 3D printing, most stuff is just a click away so I tend to focus on things that are small business, pain to ship, or just way OOP when visiting UK game shops. #minipainting #nerdlings

Ruby Monday! Gave her a red coat cuz ruby, but the rest of her is my OSS color scheme. #minipainting #infinitythegame #nerdlings #cyberpunk

Shout out to Rosemary&Co! I love their brushes for minipainting but love their customer service even more. They don't ship to the US for reasons, so when I visit the UK I will place an order to be delivered to a hotel. They are so good about coordinating delivery dates to make sure I get my brushes.

Robot? Cyborg? Synth? Clanker? Android? Whatever she is, here's my modified Asura for #infinitythegame. I swapped out her stock meh head for a Posthuman UFO style head (aka best head). #minipainting #nerdlings #cyberpunk #infinity

Okay, back to robots! Here's a Kinnara ScoutBot by @corvusbelli.bsky.social for #infinitythegame. I like this one cuz she looks like a baby Marut and maybe someday will grow up big and strong. (I do not know how robots work.) #minipainting #nerdlings #cyberpunk #wargame
