Over $1,000???

Holy calamity, scream insanity! When I started patreon in January I had never anticipated for it to grow this quickly. I am amazed at your guys' support and generosity. My lack of foresight is clearly...

Early release!

Sorry about the delay! Had some tech issues I had to resolve. Let me know what you think! I incorporated some music and some fancy edits into this one. Does it add to the experience? 

Behind the Scenes #8

What up, mini family?! 

This week I worked on making a video about the process of trying to replicate a "forge fresh" weapon. Something like this:

Early release!

Hey y'all. Here's the video about highlight and shadow placement. I'd love to know if this is helpful or not. Please let me know!

I didn't do a BTS post this week because I really didn't do any...

Early release!

Here's the goofy skit Jon and I did up!

Behind the Scenes #7

Ahh! I'm late again! 

This week I started on two new videos. The first video is called "How to Highlight Almost Everything". The #1 feedback I give to people who paint in a GW style ...

Not-so-early release!

As mentioned in my BTS #6, this one is going public at the same time as you guys are getting it. Sorry about that! 

Behind the Scenes #6

I'm a day late! 

I've had a pretty relaxed last week. I had a friend over on the weekend and we played a lot of video games (far too much). The video I prereleased last Friday cannot go live th...

Early release!

Here's my first ever sponsored video. I'd love to know what you think of it, from the information conveyed, to the sponsored segment length, etc. 

Behind the Scenes #5

We got a gear heavy post!

Congratulations Richard Kwiatkowski!

You've won this hellish cake. Congrats! 

New release!

This is one of the videos I referenced in my BTS #4 post. Lots of settings changes, drop in audio quality, always super close to the camera. Let me know what you think!

Behind the Scenes #4

1. I finished up the terrain collaboration with Wyloch Armory, as you already know. In the final shots, I busted out my slider which I never use to get some nicer beauty shots of the final product and...

Early release!

I bit off a little bit more than I could chew with this video, which is why its a day late. The video ended up being longer than I anticipated. There are a few drops in energy throughout the video tha...

Multi-part Series

With the 1 video a week schedule I'm finding it very difficult to actually paint miniatures for videos (and indeed paint miniatures at all). I've always liked having the entire painting process in a s...

Behind the Scenes #3

This past week was good! Here's what went down:

1. I went to Wisconsin to visit Sam Lenz, Tom Ales, and a few others for a weekend paint jam. I got to paint up another guildball model. It...

Early release!

 Our TMM saga continues this week with more sytrene sheet painting! We explore the world of what to thin your metallics with (and probably any acrylic paint for that matter).  

Behind the Scenes #2

Sorry for being a day late! This entire week I was in New York City, but I still managed to do some youtube stuff that was particularly mad scientist like. 

I'm testing thinners for metals, as ...

Quick Mini Hacks!

Here's a fun skit video that I mentioned in my BTS post! 

Behind the Scenes #1

I want to start a weekly post where I talk about what's going on behind the scenes on the channel that's exclusive to patreon, so let's kick it off! 

1. This week I'm off to New York for my 5th...

Here's the video I was talking about yesterday. I purposely didn't show every single step but focused more on showing the whole creative process, and also tried to focus more on making an engaging vid...

Hell Made Manifest!

Hello lovely patrons! Trent from miscast terrain and I did a collaboration recently. We both tried to render Hell on a piece of terrain no larger than 20cm in diameter and we had 6 days to do it! It w...

What videos should I make?

Hey guys, I'm curious if any of you guys have had a subject that you've wanted me to cover for a long time that I've never gotten to. Let me know what it is! 

New series!

I'm kicking off a new series dedicated to learning how to juice up your true metallic metals as much as possible. For me, TMM is always a shortcut, so I'm looking forward to seeing what I can accompli...

TMM tests

I'm starting a true metallic metals series on my channel and we're starting with charts! Testing all the undercoats for all the metals. I know, this stuff is super riveting.

NMM Guide!

It's been a long time coming, but I finally produced a tutorial about the tricky world of NMM. Let me know what you think. 

Early release video????

I'm going to start doing a video a week again. As such, here's a video about light boxes and all the pet peeves I have about them!
