The Red Terror is complete! A synthwave or Whimdark style with blues for the fleshy bits, purple for the carapace, and orange and yellow for the talons. I am very proud of myself on this mini, taking my idea or scheme from previous minis and upping the scale. Plus some decent blending for me. Overall very happy with it :) The Red Terror is complete!

Here's the final Ozzy Osborne Tribute figure that was finished on Monday night. I went with a more Whimdark (copyright @zambiesdecays.bsky.social Decay) on him & made him a bit older too. Thanks for looking.

Close up of the Red Terror's face. The teeth, tongue, and horns are bright with a purple carapace.

Last 2 figures for Nicole's commission! She was inspired by WOW & asked me to paint them in that style. Gotta admit, it was a lot of fun! Reminds me of Zambies "Whimdark" with a bit of Feywild thrown in. Thank for looking!

I know Monday's probably aren't the best for releasing a video but I really wanted to get this out before the end of the year. Hope you like it.

Play with color theory and how to paint Whimdark style!

Fully embracing my color chaos and Whimdark style. Finished one of the new Frameables from @monument-hobbies.bsky.social . They fit great in a 4x6 frame.

I am really tired of 'dark' being a thing. Grimdark, Dark Academia, Whimdark, the list goes on.

We live in a bleak world.

It's time to walk back into the light.

Make BRIGHT things, not DARK things.

Cosy whimdark with a streak of humour a barn wide. A funny, wonderful read.

Sooooo.....idk what to put on the shoulder. If I could free hand better a Ghostbusters logo, but Tyranids, would be sweet.
Any other thoughts?

Shoulder pad on a specter squad mini. Currently painted purple and is blank. Idk what to put there. Its pretty small, so regular decals might be to big.

"Whimdark" is a simply wonderful word. And that is a wonderful mini.

More progress on The Red Terror. Really happy with the decisions thus far and the talons are looking good.

Working on the synthwave pallet a bit today. I wanted to move away from the Scale 75 blues and came up with this.
Might need a darker green as another step, but we will see once I actually start to paint with them.

Collection of paints that fit a similar style or hue? Not sure the specific art term. Point is they fit the synthwave style i have been doing recently. Different blues, some greens, and a red added to the mix.

I painted this @loot-studios.bsky.social rewards "Apothecary Facade" model, inspired by @zambiesdecays.bsky.social
's glorious whimdark hobbit hole (I didn't go as hard on the fluorescents, but I did build up the colors in a similar way!)

Photograph of a painted miniature facade meant to look like a little apothecary shop. It has a rounded green door and art nouveau windows, and is surrounded by greenery and pots. Close up view of the rounded green door and its brick surround. An overturned bucket sits in front. Many small buckets on the side are stacked up, the top one with some kind of leafless plant. A darker, moodier picture of the apothecary facade. The dim lighting brings out the greenery and the warmth of the brick.

Still sort of recovering from the fun of Adepticon!

Meeting online friends and making them irl friends was maybe my favorite part!

Also got to take fun classes with @zambiesdecays.bsky.social and @samlenzartwork.bsky.social, really awesome stuff.

Honestly can't wait till next year!

"Do you like whimdark? It's like quar. Where the setting is whimsical and nice but the tone is dark, like war and death and stuff..." -Anon

Like Grimm Fairytales or Over the Garden Wall (at least what I assume its like, i've never seen it)? Its fine, I guess
