Alt text: Stylized portrait of the Baroness from G.I. Joe. She faces forward with a slight downward tilt of the head, wearing round green-tinted glasses that reflect light. Her expression is cool and unimpressed. She has long black hair, pale skin, blue-toned lips, and a small beauty mark near her cheek. One red Cobra emblem appears on her shoulder while the other is worn as an earring. The uniform is dark with a high collar. The art uses bold ink lines, halftone textures, and vivid colors—especially green, blue, red, and orange—for a graphic, pop-art feel.

Sometimes a warm-up sketch takes over your life for three days...

Another edit: I can scan hand sculpts if I need. Almost prefer hand sculpts...

I'd be worried if I hadn't been collaborating in the #adepticon mini community for this long.

Correction: CLERIC, Dwarf, Elf, Fighter, Halfling. Mage

A wide banner showing seven hand-drawn fantasy tabletop miniatures, each on a round base and framed like a character card under a “Basic Hero Stuff” logo. The figures are rendered in a muted grayscale with subtle color accents and strong ink lines. From left to right: a human cleric or paladin-type with a mace-like staff topped by a symbol, wearing layered armor and robes; a stocky dwarf warrior crouched low with a heavy hammer and round shield, covered in thick plate and gear; a tall, slender elf archer mid-stride with bow drawn and cloak trailing; a massive, heavily armored fighter with oversized pauldrons, a tower shield, and a broad sword, dominating the frame; a small halfling fighter with a round shield and short sword, posed aggressively with a wide stance; a robed mage holding an open book and a staff topped with a skull, with a black bird perched above; and a hooded thief in light armor with daggers and bandoliers, standing ready and alert. Each card includes a small stat block beneath the character’s name, styled like classic tabletop RPG sheets.

I wanna put my Basic Hero Stuff miniature line on #Kickstarter and I’m looking for a sculptor.

The magnificent and sacred seven: Paladin. Dwarf. Elf. Fighter. Halfling. Mage. Thief.

Hand-drawn illustration of a punk-styled woman inspired by Tank Girl, shown from the chest up against a bright yellow background with orange halftone dots. She has a shaved head with jagged green hair along one side, multiple ear piercings, and a small bandage on her forehead. Her expression is fierce and slightly unhinged, with one eye narrowed and heavy lashes. She bites down on a cigarette, with a red pentagram earring visible near her ear. She holds a large, exaggerated, sci-fi-style firearm slung over her shoulder with no clear real-world analog. She wears only dog tags and small pieces of black tape as pasties, with antifa-styled tattoos visible on her ribs and shoulder. The drawing uses loose, energetic ink lines with Copic marker fills in green, yellow, gray, and red, emphasizing a chaotic, punk aesthetic.

Every con there’s one piece that just clicks.

This year it was this Tank Girl commission. #Hewlett is a big influence on my style... so it's not hard to find his characters when I sketch.

Blister-packaged miniature labeled “HIVE SCUM – BLADES” on a gritty red-and-black sci-fi card with illustrated figures along the sides. The bold red “HIVE SCUM” title dominates the top. Inside the clear plastic, an unpainted gray resin figure stands holding two long, curved blades, posed mid-stride with arms spread wide. In front of the package, a painted version of the miniature stands on a square base with sandy terrain. The figure is advancing forward with a relaxed but threatening posture, one blade lowered at the side, wearing layered scavenged gear and armor for a worn, post-apocalyptic look.

Hive Scum — Blades

Close work. Personal work.

Another from the line—ragged, dangerous, and already too close.

#Miniatures #Tabletop #IndieGames #Sculpting

Blister-packaged miniature labeled “HIVE SCUM – LANTERN” on a gritty red-and-black sci-fi card featuring illustrated figures. The bold red “HIVE SCUM” title dominates the top. Inside the clear plastic, an unpainted gray resin figure is visible through a crinkled bag, posed holding a lantern raised overhead. In front of the package, a painted version of the miniature stands on a square base with sandy terrain. The figure is hunched and cloaked in tattered robes, arm lifted high with the lantern, creating a dramatic, almost ritualistic silhouette with a worn, post-apocalyptic aesthetic.

Hive Scum — Lantern

Cloak, bone, and a little light in the dark.

Another addition to the line—grimy, ragged, and full of bad decisions.

#Miniatures #Tabletop #IndieGames #Sculpting

Here’s alt text for this one: Blister-packaged miniature labeled “HIVE SCUM – PISTOL” on a gritty red-and-black sci-fi card. The packaging features illustrated figures in a dystopian setting, with bold red lettering at the top. Inside the clear plastic, an unpainted gray resin figure stands holding a pistol, partially obscured by the bag. In front of the package, a painted version of the same miniature stands on a square base with sandy texture. The figure is posed mid-stride, arm extended with the pistol, wearing layered scavenged clothing and gear, giving a rugged, post-apocalyptic look.

I only packed 15 of each of the five new models. But if they sell out at #adepticon they'll be available on Esty after the con.

Pencils... cutting it close.

Wide black-and-white work-in-progress drawing of Dark Angels Space Marines advancing over wrecked stone steps in a gothic exterior setting. In the foreground, Captain Lethaniel—a heavily armored Space Marine in a hooded robe—moves down the broken stairs, holding a large bolter across his body. To the left, a Mark VI “Corvus” (beakie) armored Marine aims his bolter downrange; the weapon is fitted with a bayonet. A third Marine advances behind them. Behind Lethaniel, a corridor entrance recedes into shadow, with a hovering servo-skull nearby. The surrounding architecture features tall arches and a long row of buttresses carved with massive helmeted faces, looming over the scene like stone guardians. The piece is partially inked, with some areas rendered in solid blacks while others remain loose and sketchy, with visible construction lines showing the evolving composition and depth.

Dark Angels Tacticals III (WIP)

Starting to lock in forms—pushing depth, architecture, and those looming buttress carvings.

Still rough, but the composition’s finally clicking.

#Warhammer #DarkAngels #Adepticon #WIP #Miniatures

Wide, work-in-progress sketch of Dark Angels Space Marines moving through a vast, cathedral-like interior. The piece is drawn in rough black lines with blue construction guides and perspective grids still visible. In the foreground, a heavily armored Space Marine with a large shoulder plate and oversized rifle descends a set of steps toward the viewer. To the left, another Marine advances cautiously, aiming his weapon down a long corridor. A third Marine follows behind, partially obscured. The background is dominated by towering gothic architecture—arched colonnades and a long row of buttresses. Carved into those distant buttresses are massive, stylized helmeted faces, looming over the scene like stone guardians. The image remains unfinished, with loose sketch lines, overlapping forms, and visible planning marks emphasizing depth, scale, and motion.

Dark Angels Tacticals III (WIP)

This one’s for Adepticon—largest piece I’ve done, headed for the charity raffle.

A blister-packed miniature labeled “HIVE SCUM – HAMMER” fills the frame, styled like a gritty sci-fi toy card in black and red. The card art shows armed, ragged figures in a dystopian setting. Inside the clear plastic, a gray resin figure of a hooded fighter raises a hammer overhead mid-swing. In front of the package, a painted version of the same miniature stands on a square base with sandy texture. The figure wears layered, scavenged armor and a hood, posed aggressively with one arm lifted to strike. The paint scheme is muted and dusty, emphasizing a worn, post-apocalyptic look.

Yes. I used the original concept art in the packaging. The minis were sculpted by Derrick Miller (maybe?) at Anvil 8. I just named them by the SKU in the bags they came in.

Photo of a painted 28mm “Hive Scum” ganger miniature standing on a square base covered in sandy texture. The figure wears bulky scavenged gear and a helmet with goggles, and is holding a long staff raised upright in one hand. The miniature is positioned in the foreground on a light-colored surface. Behind it stands the blister-style product packaging. The card backing is mostly black with large bold red text at the top reading “HIVE SCUM.” The background art on the card shows several illustrated hive-city style gangers in red and black tones. A clear plastic blister on the packaging holds the unpainted version of the same miniature and a small separate arm piece. The painted miniature in front mirrors the pose of the unpainted model visible inside the package.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Just wrapped up another haunt season at #MassacreHauntedHouse in #MontgomeryIllinois

Dee Forrest (scare actor) intensely lit with low key high contrast red light. He's dressed as the Anticardinal, upside down cross carved into his furrowed brow. Text: Anticardinal: I want to hear your confession. Guest: I am a defense attorney, I was on the Drew Peterson defense team. Anticardinal: Ooo. That's naughty. Wait Prove it... Is Drew Peterson a piece of shit? Guest: Yes. Anticardinal: It IS true!!! Ok. Off to hell with you.

Allegedly a true story...

Michigan Avenue right now.

lack and white drawing of a man with long hair and a beard wearing a suit and tie, standing against a red background. He has an angry expression. A speech bubble near his head says, “No gods. No masters.”

Just a friendly reminder that you don’t need permission.

How does an #UberDriver actually get help from “support”? I’ve waited MONTHS to add rides to my Eats account. Every call ends the same: “wait longer” → ask for supervisor → click. Unreal, #Uber #GigWork #Rideshare #CustomerService

a very boring and generic page saying I modified my account.

I wish this was a more dramatic image. But I've decoupled Hulu from my Spotify.

#boycotdisney #boycotcowards

I kind of wish I still had Disney+ so I could cancel it again.

It's very important as we process the death of #CharlieKirk that we remember Trump is in the Epstein files.

Gray unpainted resin miniature of a hooded figure in ragged robes, crouched dynamically while raising a staff with mechanical details. Stands on a square base textured with grit.

Ink and wash illustration of a towering post-apocalyptic warrior. Bald, with makeshift armor covered in spikes, bones, and scavenged parts. Holds a staff topped with a “One Way” street sign; heavy ink splatter emphasizes menace.

Last of the five — production Tommy varied a lot from the concept, but this one still came through with strong presence. Another from the canceled Anvil 8 line I acquired, getting slapchop high-contrast prep before hitting my Etsy shop. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop

Ink and wash drawing of a rugged fighter in patchwork armor with a hooded cloak. A stitched doll hangs from their chest as a talisman. They wield a heavy club, their stance radiating defiance.

Gray unpainted plastic miniature of the same character, hooded and armored, raising a club overhead in a striking pose. Belted gear and stitched armor details are visible. The figure stands on a textured square base.

Here’s “Quinn” — hooded brawler and survivor, another mini from the canceled Anvil 8 project I now carry forward. Getting prepped for slapchop high-contrast paint before heading to my Etsy shop as a system-agnostic miniature. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop

nk and wash illustration of a grim-faced medic. Wearing a patched apron over gear and tools, with a large backpack and cap. She grips a tall staff in one hand. Background splattered with ink shadows.

Gray unpainted plastic miniature of the same character, posed holding a staff with both hands. Outfitted with pouches, straps, and survival gear. She stands on a textured square base with grit and scattered rocks.

Meet “Dr. Anne” — field medic and survivalist, part of the canceled Anvil 8 line I now carry forward. Prepping her for slapchop high-contrast paint before she joins the others in my Etsy shop as a system-agnostic mini. #ttrpg #minipainting #etsyshop
