Gave up doing commissions years ago.
Painting miniatures is time intensive, and almost nobody is willing to pay hourly rates, nevermind quality rates.
Plus you'll have competition that does not value their own time *at all* and will do work for extremely cheap.
It also burns you out badly.
Name's Gudd. Magedd Gudd.
I rewrote an entire magic system for a MMORPG years ago, with a couple of the other devs.
The rewrite was robust, versatile, integrated with game systems it previously ignored, and FULLY documented.
We still had endless requests by other devs to add things to the system that it now already did. 🤦♂️
Three Citadel C21 Undead Cavalry painted in yellows and greens and rust.
All my Citadel Undead ended up very yellow-ish.
A Work-in-Progress Otherworld Miniatures Demon Idol terrain piece, sitting on a platform of unpainted Hirst Arts blocks and Dragonforge resin columns. A series of wires run to the braziers and central fire, which are flickering lights inset into clear resin.
Finally making some progress on this project after a few years sitting "idol."
Bought this direct from Otherworld Miniatures a couple years before they closed. Not the longest time I've gone on a WIP project between updates if I'm honest! 😬
A Sabre Tank Hunter, a kitbash from White Dwarf 120 made of Rogue Trader era Rhino and Land Raider parts. Painted rather amateurishly with Dark Angels insignia.
Ooo, I recognize that one! A tiny, younger version of me made one of these years ago, back when Rhinos and Land Raiders were plentiful and cheap.
What's scary is that this model is likely older than a lot of people on Bluesky. 😅😬
We are all still eagerly awaiting your "Bases Through The Ages" video, just FYI. 😅
I really dislike the Ossiarch models, so I'm glad to see your conversion leans much closer to the style of the Tomb Kings catapult while making good use of the details on the Ossiarch stuff. 👍
Look at that RTB Ultramarine in the middle saying, "no bolters, ONLY FIST!"
I just put in an order when I saw that ex-Otherworld Chimera in the store yesterday, haha.
Well I finally made a small order!
Btw, were the Plague Rats unreleased by Richard? I don't remember seeing those when Otherworld was open.
Jess.
Jess, no.
How much money do I need to donate to get the Wib "Bases through the Ages" video 😬
If you see this, post something pink:
When they are not piloting titans, they're on the streets, snapping their fingers rhythmically and challenging people with fight songs and dance moves.
Those bombbots would be a good start! 😀
I'd suggest Paint Blitzer, that stuff was amazing -- but they're out of business.
I'm not sure resin terrain like this is worth the effort to strip. You'd need a big tub and lots of stripper. Is the paint too thick to prime over?
Really impressed with how fast you're growing.
I admit I've not bought from you (not really into the 90s Space Dwarf aesthetic), but lots of respect. Loving the hustle and wishing you success!
A Citadel ADD69 (nice) Githyanki on a hex base, with a Grenadier fallen adventurer, FS36-2 Gargoyles, FS23 Table, FS32 Magic Items, Alternative Armies Table, on a dungeon floor painted like emerald marble.
Well, it took freakin' forever, but finally got the floor to the Githyanki temple scene I've been slowly picking away at the past few months.
Also some assorted scatter terrain with matching bases.

Oh yes, been after the earth elemental to complete my set for a couple years now. Placed an order earlier today!
Fade to black.
Rogue Trader Space Marine Harris, sporting a fresh bandage.
My fav part of this particular mini is how everyone always interprets the little ridge on his nose differently. I've seen them painted as metal, I did mine as a bandage.
Insert "They're the same picture" meme here.
Loving the pose you gave the Night Horrors hand. I put mine bursting up from the ground, now debating if I should strip it and copy yours.
I have a resin printer, but since I live in an apt with no reasonable way to vent, I've never been able to use it. 😭
Ahhhh! I see Otherworld Elementals hanging on that rack!
I've been searching for an Earth Elemental to complete my set for awhile, so looks like I'll have to keep an eye on when the online store is updated. 😀
Huh, this is surprisingly timely. I've been trying (and failing) to find a source for Oldhammer style blister packaging for a miniature line, the whole heat-seal-plastic-wedge-to-cardboard approach.
Seems like most companies want you to use clamshells.
Most of the adventurer series from the ADD line were like that. Fighters, Wizards, Illusionists, etc.
There were a couple, like the Bard and Barbarian that didn't. They just got horses.
A trio of miniatures from the Citadel AD&D series ADD03 Clerics with Mace, showing a low level, mid level, and high level Cleric. They're painted with purples, golds, and tans standing on underdark terrain.
Citadel ADD03 Clerics with Mace explore the underdark.

"My 'Find Treasure' spell says there's BAGS of LOOT on the other side of this wall!"
"What about spiders, John? Last time you said you used that spell, the place was covered in spiders."
"I guarantee you: no spiders at all."
