Brushmistress Machinations

First off – new look! Just time for a change in scenery is all.

Time continues to fly by quicker than I’d like. I have been busy at work on a commission, Malifaux studio pieces & some goodies picked up from GenCon. There won’t be any updated photos for at least a week as I continue to play catch up with my non-painting related work, but rest assured, I haven’t given up the brush. Thank you all for your patience – there will be eye candy a’comin!

Hi all! I’m back from a busy but great GenCon (my very first!). Thank you to everyone who helped make it an unforgettable experience.

Please be sure to drop back by in the next couple of weeks as I begin to paint up some of the goodies picked up at GenCon, as well as some studio pieces that were done for Malifaux prior to the convention.

Hi all! I’ll be teaching 2 different classes this year at GenCon Indy. There are two time slots for each class. Below is info/links to the classes.

“Smoother Blends” – This class will detail the art behind silky smooth blending & color transitions, from the most basic color combinations to the outlandish. Please bring your own brush – models & paints will be provided.

“TNA – The Art of Painting Hot Chicks” – This class will cover what tips & tricks you need to know to make all your female models drop dead gorgeous: alluring faces, smokin’ hot anatomy & foxy clothes are just a few highlights that will be detailed.

Nothing to do with miniatures – just letting the world know that the new season of Doctor Who premieres April 17th on BBC America!

Ok, so maybe not it’s not madness, but it’s a Bathalian just the same. This piece was started a few years ago – I put him aside because all of the wonderful detail sculpted onto his cloak was driving me crazy. I finally finished him up a couple of weeks ago – Mr. Squid Head now resides with a private collector.

I’ve been on a tiny bit of a Rackham kick – I had given up for a while painting these skinny little ladies, but I really loved the sculpted armor on this one and wanted to give her a go. Enjoy! You can find Isabeau for sale here on Ebay.

Finally, as promised, a ton of photos that I’ve worked on over the past few months. I can’t show you everything I’ve done since some of them are new releases for Wyrd that haven’t hit stores yet, but there’s still plenty of goodies to share. I’ve placed the images in their appropriate sections in the gallery page, but have also included them all below since it’s quite a few models. Enjoy!

The Confrontation Banshee of Acheron is currently on eBay & can be found here!”

Edit: Looks like today the update isn’t gonna happen. Sorry guys – I underestimated how many things I needed to add! Check back tomorrow evening. Here there world! I have been remiss in my duties of update my poor little blog – many apologies to all of you that come here and check out the models. I hope to have everything updated later on today – tons of new pictures to share, so check back soon!

This tiny little lady is from Hasslefree Miniatures. She is Titania, Queen of the Faeries, and stands about 25mm tall from the bottom of the base to the top of her head. She stands amidst autumn foilage, gazing down at the fallen leaves.

Brigitte is my latest piece. She was a blast to paint – pure cheesecake of course & absolutely NSFW!
