"The greatest teacher, failure is."

Well, he's all done! My little yoda from @atomic_mass_transmissions star was legion!

I had a ton of fun with making the rock float and working with the warer effects on this to enhance the story on this one.

A huge thanks to all the homies for the feedback on him along the way 😍

As always, it's all love to my hobby family.

Marlin the Mystic is giving out free crystal ball readings at Golden Demon 2026!
.
I am happy to share what ive been working on with you all. The entire scene was designed, sculpted, printed and obviously painted by me.
.
There were a lot of firsts with this piece, the resin pour, the mutlipart scene keyed to fit together etc. It's been such a journey and I think its one of my largest and most in depth projects to date!
.
Secondly, im excited to see all of my peeps at the show, see all the amazing entries and make some good memories.
.
If you are looking to say hi I will be at the @goblinshut booth Friday and Saturday running demos. Stop in and say wassapppppp
.
As always, much love to my hobby family, keep smiling & keep painting!

Well Nova Open 2026 is a wrap, this was my first year in masters and my first year entering the sculpting category as well. I took home a bronze and 3 commended in painting as well as best of sculpting! I couldnt be happier with my first showing in masters.
.
That being said the weekend was filled with lots of laughs and lots of good people. I felt honored to share the stage with people I really respect in the hobby. It felt like a weekend with family.
.
I am very grateful to the entire @novaopenconvention
Team for putting on an excellent show.
.
@bobcohoon_minis @pale_king_hobby @minimonsterpaints thank you guys for including your special friend who couldnt just follow the rules in the GCW event.
.
I am also grateful to @bohemond_minis for putting up with my new ideas every 15 minutes 🤣
.
And @a.b.e.hobbies thanks for not making me feel bad about the cheese graders.
.
There is way more people I could tag and yap about but I wont keep ya, As always there is no community or group of people I would rather spend my time with then my hobby family. Its all love, now we push into other projects as Golden Demon and Monte draw near.

Rhialto the Marvelous
.
Inspired by the wonderful artwork of @camilopalmaart and named after a character in a fantasy novel by Jack Vance, tales of a dying earth.
.
It is a surprise homework assignment I gave myself for my sculpting coach @bohemond_minis to judge this weekend at @novaopenconvention

.
Very thankful to @thearmypainter for sending me some of their Warpaints Fanatic paints to try out on these Prussian Stosstruppen and sniper priest from @trench_crusade provided to me by the most generous people over at @fenrisworkshop
.
The paints perform great and are almost a mix between a hobby paint and heavy body artist acrylics, the coverage and pigmentation is bonkers. They glaze up nice and work well with glaze mediums and retardants without getting gummy!
.
As always, its all love to all my hobby family and all the people who support me by liking or sharing my work! ❤️
.
Paint brave, love ya

Today, we're joined by Robert Vesco with a very cool Trench Crusade diorama featuring the indomitable Prussians.

"I am beyond impressed with the Warpaints Fanatic paint range! The coverage, high pigmentation, and smooth application make it incredibly easy to get highly saturated, full-coverage basecoats down fast. Even the darker colors, like Evergreen Fog and Terrestrial Titan, maintain that punchy color I look for in my shadows. They also glaze beautifully, maintaining that saturation even when thinned down and avoiding that chalky, coffee stained look."

You can follow Robert at @creature_crate_ for more amazing models and a detailed breakdown of how he painted such a striking piece.

If you’d like to be featured yourself, use #thearmypainter or #warpainter on your posts and we’ll keep an eye out for more lovely paint jobs 👀 by @creature_crate_

The Pursuit of Happiness!

I'm finally all wrapped up with my entry for @romanlappat.miniatureart beyond your imagination 2!
.
We all go through different phases and emotional roller coasters in our own art journey and I wanted this piece to give a voice to all the things people don't see outside of the awards and the display cases, I wanted to speak for the humans behind miniatures.
.
.
The entire plinth and environment is all sculpted and printed by myself and the back drop is all freehand (no ai 😉)
.
As always, love ya, keep painting!
