Glow Mantis!





I was thinking about scorpions the other day (doesn't everyone?) and how some dull looking scorpions are florescent when under UV light. I wanted to try something in that vein, to see just what my florescent V-Color could do. The only thing I wish was that there was a florescent blue available.
Hope you like it.

Halloween is just around the Corner!





Halloween is coming, so here's some customs to get you in the spirit. The Obake sheet started out as just a piece to test some techniques on, as I'm not a huge fan of the Obake... but by the end I quite liked the look of it.

The Pumkinbrain is inspired by Autumn leaves and the fall in general.

Hope you like them!

Works in progress...

Sometimes I'll paint, and then at the advice of others, or just through my own preference I'll change it later on in some way, hopefully as an improvement. Everything is a Work in Progress I guess, here's some of the latest updates of old favorites:


Maggie the Rangeas:

before
after.

At the advice of Gathchabert I added some detail to the horns on my last Rangeas.



The Dreamerbefore
after.

Again, bert suggested a bit of accent on the tips of the horns, which I think is a definite improvement.



Hypnos Skullwing:


beforeafter.

Here I was a little more drastic with the changes, dirtying and darkening it up. In the end I thin its a more sinister Skullwing.

This Fighter has Got a Lot of Heart!




Ghost Fighter, inspiration for this guy are the amazing custom work of Kirk
ToybotStudios and Paul Kaiju.

BlobPus: The Flesh-Beast!







My first fullsized BlobPus figure. I went with a flesh color, with spots showing infection and decay. What do you all think?

Decaying Touch Skullbee



A custom piece commissioned by a fellow skullbrainer. Hope he likes it.
