Hail to art in all it's forms

I'm sitting in my hotel room, wiped out from 2 days of pure heaven. I have immersed myself in my hobby, one of my loves; and my favorite art form..... Yes you guessed it terrain. Not only terrain though, but I've been talking miniatures, fine scale modeling, painting techniques, art in many forms, as well as seeing business sharing ideas and innovative products like the Grex airbrush line (drool,…. it’s so cool) or the guy’s (and gal) from blue table painting, who are not only super cool and talented beyond belief, but absolute painting machines (like 12 straight hours, I think). Also I have to give mad props from my old media days to the guys from 40K nation working hard running a professional web streaming show, doing  interviews,  live blog celebs Q and A’s, as well as all the final games for this amazing  tournament (and that’s just what I've seen when I could peek in). I know that’s hard work, and their just so cool.

 I have been honored to talk with gamers from across the country, hobby enthusiast, curious hotel staff and guests, as well as artists of such an amazing caliber; I'm humbled by their inclusion of me in the community. To everyone I have talked with, it has been a sincere pleasure, for all the compliments, a humble thank you, to all the familiar faces I am getting to know, your loyalty shows the very best that people can be; and for all the support..... There is not a word I know that can encompass, or explain how much it means to me!

See you all at the show tomorrow!

Blizzards suck for mining

I'm back, and I'm sharing....

Here's some pics from my latest build. It was a rewarding and challenging set for a blizzard world, with an abandoned mining complex. I built a mining station, a hab, a dice tower, in the shape of a surveyors mountain, and some hills and such. It was a blast, but I am sick of the smell of baking soda...lol

Please enjoy my madness....

here we see a perspective shot of the main piece. it is a giant. it has the feel of an abandoned fuel depot, as well a small supply station along with the massive drill.

Here we see a front shot, with abandoned crates and such...



Here is a close up, from the fuel line walkway, by the boiler, that lights up!

Here is a back shot, with one of the control stations. The roof is removable so you can see the detail, below the grates better.

Here is my hab. Ah.... Hab, sweet Hab. No wonder they left!

Here is a front shot.

Here is a shot of the sat dish on the hab.... Even when freezing your boys off you still need to call home.

Here is a back shot, with the loading dock.

In other news, i have finally set up my prints, on deviant art, so now you can purchase prints of any of my artwork.If you haven't checked it out yet, please do!

Humbly,

You looking at me?

Well hi again,



I know I have been absent of late, but for those of you who don't know ( shame on you!), I also have a deviant art site. I have been painting most of this summer, to get some stuff out and I made a little video for you:

As for my 28mm compulsion, I have not forgot about you. I will upload some good pics soon, of a new terrain set:)

The scenario is mine shafts of the future.... complete with heavy mining rig, and a whole lot of Saw goodness! Think space hulk deep underground. They were looking for minerals, what they found was something completely different!

Don't give up on your old buddy Saw yet, because I haven't given up on you...
