Out of Dark Waters is a collision between high fantasy and Lovecraftian horror, inspired by a love of tabletop storytelling.

In my wife's words, "It's the D&D campaign you wish you were playing."

Out of Dark Waters is a classic fantasy adventure, following jaded sellswords on their rise to heroism. If only their triumphs weren't shredded, time after time, by the Lovecraftian horror that hunts them.

The first mini I painted was a Reaper Miniatures Chthon worm (right). I picked up the metal version recently and painted it to see how much more I could do with it after a couple years of hobbying (left).

This is the metal version. The Bones Classic variant of this was the first model I ever painted.

Reaper Miniatures's "Definitely Not a Grick" Chthon. I really like how gnarly this thing's mouth looks.

Getting started on a large painting project. Kitbashing together a GK Strike Squad kit and a MKIII Command Squad to make more visually distinct Interceptor and Strike units.

I did the most needlessly complicated thing I could think of! I created a points system where I earn points for finishing paintjobs for projects of a given type/size. And I buy new models if I have enough points, with different costs depending on whether I'm trying to shrink or grow my backlog.

Me: I love writing. Exploring these made up characters and worlds fills me with endless joy. It comes with an ease only surpassed by breathing or the beating of my own heart.

Out for a picnic or looking for Dwarves, I wonder? Here’s some Copplestone 10mm Trolls (they stand about 20mm tall) from North Star based up to go with my Wargames Atlantic Dwarves and Orcs. Background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #northstarminiatures

WIP Brother Captain. Finished dry brushing his armor and sword. Starting to put down base coats. (I dry brushed before other layers to prevent spatter on finished parts.)

Oh man, those look awesome. I can't wait to built and paint some of them.
Steve does a lot to help promote and create engagement for other indie authors. Erstwhile Tyler Kyle has been on my TBR since I read the sample on Amazon, which I thought was awesome. I would absolutely recommend checking out his work.

1/2 My partner & I are financially struggling at the moment, but I'm already working full time and preparing for my thesis defence while writing an article and several books, so I can't really take on more work atm.

If anyone can afford to & had wanted to grab any of my already-existing books

I kept misplacing my phone so I painted the case Imperial Fists Yellow 😆. Here's the painting tutorial; it's great for tanks and dreadnoughts as well: youtu.be/ty5ZtIyLHk0?...

Looks good! Cool set of Reaper models there
I've been working on my photography setup lately. Turns out the best place for mini pics is the corner of the kitchen. Good light and outlet access. Trying to experiment with layers of terrain to help with the perception of depth.
