Finished pics of my tiefling bust painted as Jester (and yes, she's reading Tusk Love). Concept art of the figure by @Rainy_Mage and sculpt by João Ferreira. #Criticalrolefanart #jesterlavorre #minipainting #fantasyart #Criticalrole

Finally got around to taking pics of Nancy from #NekoGalaxy. I had a blast with this kit and tried to create a scene that fit the story implied by the sculpt. Hope you enjoy it as well! #scifiminiatures #scifi #minipainting #miniatures #miniatureart #paintingminis

I’m making steady progress on my version of #jester. I’m really happy with how she’s turning out and I’m excited to use her as a demo piece in my classes at #KublaCon later this month! #minipainting #criticalrolefanart #fantasyart #miniatures #miniatureart

#KublaCon starts in a month. They've got a great group of painting instructors lined up and I'll be teaching 3 classes. I'm really excited for the topics, so check them and all the other offerings out at TableTopEvents. #minipainting #miniatures #fantasypainting #Wargaming

Started painting the larger version of my #tiefling bust. Of course I had to paint her as #JesterLavorre. Still deciding if I’ll have her holding her sketchbook or a copy of Tusk Love #miniatures #miniaturepainting #minipainting #criticalrolefanart #fantasypainting

Took a workshop last weekend with Ivan Hortal. I painted most of the bust there and then wrapped up the rest at home over the past few days. Great class and a fun sculpt to work on! #minipainting #miniatures #miniaturepainting #fantasyart #paintingminis #spiramirabilis

Painting my tiefling mini-bust. I've got an idea for a class on fantasy skin tones, so I'm testing things out with some #criticalrolefanart themed pieces. I started with a #JesterLavorre one and up next is a color scheme based on #ZahraHydris. #minipainting #fantasyart

Just got home from #NOVAOpen. I brought my pirate orc vignette and won best diorama in the #capitalpalette. It's was a fantastic competition and the level of the entries was as high as I've ever seen at a US show. Eager to go back next year! #minipainting #fantasyart #Orcs

I decided to revisit my pirate orc piece and do more work on the base. Added some more detail and put in layers of weathering on the wood. Still need to do the darker sections and metal grates. #minipainting #MiniaturePainting #FantasyArt #miniatureart #pirates #orcs

I'm pretty much finished painting my pirate crew from #BigChildCreatives. I enjoyed pairing this two characters together, both fantastic sculpts to work on. #minipainting #MiniaturePainting #FantasyArt #miniatureart #pirates #orcs

I did an interview with Mark Indiveri to discuss #KublaCon, the KublaBrush painting comp, and my workshops there. My little one also lent a hand to talk about how she's excited to enter in the KublaKids division! youtu.be/kj08eeEkAYM via @YouTube #minipainting
