Some behind the scenes

So I dusted off my old low end camera and decided we gonna start doing real videos and photos now. I got too lost in trying to get the job done that I forgot about making the videos epic. I’m gonna go back to that for a little bit and see if that kills me hahaha. I’ve just spent the whole day editing rhinos video but on my confuser. And I may have over done the transitions a bit but you k w...

Avant garde brushes

Hey dudes. So I’ve been using these brushes for 2 months now. And I’ve properly abused them. They are the first brush I reach for (in the size they make) they don’t make bigger ones yet like a 4 size would be amazing. But anyway after enough actual hands on use I can say I do suggest them as an option if you are in the market for new brushes. As you know I’m not normally one to advert...

Early access malice video.

Hey dudes. So as I’ve come to be able to make this feature more often I’m really happy to be able to offer an early access video again for you guys. I truly appreciate your support and as such I reinvested and have updated the entire video making process, well just the editing side. This has done a few things that are super positive for me and us. Mostly I am able to upload from home now...

Malice colour pallete

Hey dudes. Soooooo I made a boo-boo and I thought rhino was tomorrows video. That was a mistake I made and it’s not it’s gonna be malice. From Bulkamancer

Here’s her colour pallete. Annoyingly I even said in the video that people don’t add enough highlight to the skin. And I friggen didn’t add enough highlight to the skin lol.

Malice wips

Soooo as I said I’ve done a fair amount on malice as well. I did say I’d upload pics tomorrow, that was a wrong information because I changed my mind and also wanted to get away from the computer for a minute hahaha anyway here where I got to today with malice.

Rhino is done

Hey dudes. I have been soooo busy learning how to edit on my computer it’s been realy hard to concentrate on much else while I gain these new skills. I thought I’d share the rhizome with you on completion. To be honest I completed him on Sunday. And I’ve almost completed malice as well. I’ll post some pics of her tomorrow when she is done. I aim to have the other model done by the end o...

Painting finally.

Hey guys. So the paints are back out. And I’ve got an update for you. Here is the rhino almost done. Should’ve just finished him today but I got lazy and decided to go home at a reasonable hour for once.

Complicated colour palette for this as it’s basically all just grey. So I went with a warm hue for the base and a cool hue for the rhino. This is to co treat the subjec...

Next 3 models

Hey dudes. Here’s the next three models like uber in advance because I had a bee in my bonnet and wanted to get all the printing out the way now. So I did.

This weeks video is about the formlabs machine they sent me and will be available for early access for those who didn’t f$&k off and up 😉

So if you were wondering where I was. I was trying to gain some tim...

Smol update

Little mini update as I set my printers to print the next three weeks worth of models over night 👀

Oni colour palette

Yo!!! Here is the colour palette for the oni model from ca3d studios. Hope it helps you dudes.

Tell mum I say hi.

Early access Oni

Hey dudes. So here is the early access for the oni from ca3d studios.

George came and helped me film for the advert I made for ca 3d studios. He has a proper camera and can move around while filming but I’m stuck with a tripod since my two hands are busy with the model.

This was a huge undertaking as I could only afford George for 2 days so I had to get as much done as possible ...

Smol update

Hey dudes. I been mega busy this last few days. Ca 3d studios asked me to make them an ad for social media and I spent the whole weekend filming with George and editing while painting at the same time literally couldn’t have had a more complicated model for a speed paint haha. So I’m just editing the weeks video tonight. I’ve actually just finished the rough cut but it’s 12am so I’m g...

Mega day of filming today.

So I finally got the oni done. Those gold trims can suck the farts out my butt. Haha

My friend George came over to help me put together a short edit for Ca3d studios I will show you guys as soon as we got it all finished up.

But here’s one final shot of the model. And some of the set

Day two. Oni

Hey dudes. It’s 1.40am I’m just posting to update you on this project. Was a long day because we were filming for the advert I’m making about this model for ca 3d studios. So much distraction and not much painting. Hope your painting or printing day went well.

Next project

This is from ca3d studios sculpted by dpaula and it’s the next project.

I’m a bit pissed today cos I had to physically throw a delinquent out of my store and have been threatened that my shop is gonna get smashed up by their “gang”. I’m not afraid of their gang but if I go silent for a bit it’s because I’ve been locked up for what I end up doing to protect my shop. Super ...

Extended video for dark skins

Hey dudes so I managed to get the voice over done today for the extended video on skins tones for static shock.

I just kept most of the footage and then explained my thoughts while painting it. I think this may help you if you were struggling or wondering where to start.

I hope this helps

Early access.

Hey dudes. Here’s the early access for this weeks video. Been a mad week to be honest because behind all this I’ve had to deal with so much nonsense it’s ridiculous haha I managed to get this done tho in between all the manic shop stuff. I have a 9 min extended paint version for the skin tone I just have to voice over it for you guys to explain my thoughts gimme a couple days and I’ll h...

Static shock palette

Hey dudes. I forgot last night to upload the colour palette for static shock. Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

Hope your printers are buzzing.

Day 3

Technically I’ve been very distracted with shop stuff and home stuff so this would be a day two WIP. But anyway. Would you guys like me to make an extended explainer video for the skin tones of this one?

Day two

Lazy day today. Tbf I did have to wait at home for my new bed and I only got in after 1pm so I had only a couple hours on it today.

Smol Saturday update.

Words.

Peak of next week

Hey dudes. Here’s a sneaky peaky for next weeks model from tanuki. And I included a shoes that’s just been taken off the supports no clean up just removed from its supports so I can show you what my prints look like (this is from the whale 4 and the base bits are gk2 and the face is from the gk3 pro and the clear from m7 pro)

Early access

Hey dudes. So….

I had a real nightmare last week with the sound. I’ve got a whole new system now with a new mic and I think the sound issues are going to be a thing of the past. Now I just got to work on the camera man (that doesn’t exist) getting in the right places at the right times. Hahaha

I may still have to fine tune my sound going forward but it should be so much bette...

Tifa palette

Hey dudes. Here is Tifa’s palette. As usual I hope it helps someone. I am almost done uploading tomorrows video and when I am I’ll share an early access for those that didn’t f$&k off

Have a good evening and tell your mom I said hi.

Tifa day 2

I had to spend the morning with the brakes off my car figuring out why it’s leaking so I don’t get much time to paint today. But I managed to get this much done hopefully finish tomorrow as I got a new printer to test. And I wanna play.

Tifa wips.

Hey dudes. So I made a start on next weeks model. Tifa from bulkamancers, she’s only 1/8th scale as I didn’t feel like replacing the resin in my gk3 ultra for the clear base so I made her as big as would fit on my mid sized machines with the base in one piece. Hope your hobby went well today!

Umm. Sound problems.

Words in the video do I don’t have to put words here 😨

Popeye tattoos

Hey dudes. As promised here’s the tattoos and the spinach labels. If you print the same scale tanuki gave the files in them these should fit perfectly. If you change the scale then just use the same percentage to scale the tattoos when you print them too and you should be set. Hope this helps dudes.

Early access

Hey dudes, as I said earlier I managed to get enough done to release early access to tomorrow’s video. Sometimes I question my sanity with trying to get them out a day early but then I know I’ll appreciate the small amount of time I have tomorrow with my apprentice and sorting out stupid admin stuff.

Anyway. Hope you enjoy this video.

Model is from tanuki figures. I haven’t ...
