Breather

If it got much colder, she was going to need to get serious about starting a fire.  The problem was that fire meant smoke.  Smoke meant attention and attention meant gunfire.  Gunfire meant noise.  Noise meant more attention, and so it went.  As it was, she’d keep as warm as she could without it.  TheContinue reading “Breather”

ZBrush Core Tabletop Miniature Creation

I wanted to call this article something like “The Pantless Chap” or “Professor Cheeks” but I figured that wouldn’t hit right with the search engine optimization algorithms.  Consider one of those the byline.  I’ve been using a 3D rendering software called ZBrush Core for the past few weeks in the hopes of finally creating myContinue reading “ZBrush Core Tabletop Miniature Creation”

Stranski Girl

My next project is on the bench. I’ve been drooling over some of these kits for awhile and I finally pulled the trigger. I picked it up from Industria Mechanika and it arrived in two days. Take a look at some of the short run kits they sell. I’m not being paid to say that,Continue reading “Stranski Girl”

Spare Parts Bin

I thought I’d throw together something real quick. It’s been a couple of weeks of hectic work and I missed my self-imposed weekly deadline. I’ve started going back to school for digital media and I’ve spent the last four weeks learning HTML and CSS. It’s changed quite a bit since I last did it inContinue reading “Spare Parts Bin”

Completed – The Dogan

The Dogan was a place of some sinister quality.  Whatever purpose it had once served was lost to the men that occupied this time.  Strange noises emanated from it on occasion, accompanied by strange smells of ozone and heat.  It was a squat octagon of concrete that seemed to belie a larger warren.  Like aContinue reading “Completed – The Dogan”

The Dogan Part 1

This project is a work in progress, tying together 3D printing, a model kit, and base building.  It is a dark future that takes place in this world or one not too terribly far along the beam as this one.  There are relics of a world gone by strewn across the landscape and not allContinue reading “The Dogan Part 1”

Completed – A Boy and His Dog

Father would have been proud.  The hunt had gone exceptionally well this season.  The slow muties had come out of the hills early this year.  But so had spring, after all.  Whatever warmth they derived from the deep holes and warrens they hibernated in had kept the muties quiet all winter.  Now that the frostContinue reading “Completed – A Boy and His Dog”

Completed – The Last Stop Part 2

They drew to a stop with a few feet to spare.  The cart’s wheels ground against the old rail like fingernails on a chalkboard.  The blockage on the rail presented itself when they rounded the corner about 200 feet back.  The pair had been going slow anyway.  It didn’t pay to fly around blind corners. Continue reading “Completed – The Last Stop Part 2”

Completed – Hare o’ the Bear Part 3

The Hare had the scanner plugged into the control panel.  Its faint green glow was overshadowed by the glow of the C-ALL goggles he wore on his face.  The goggles told him there wasn’t any lifeforms on the other side of the door.  This was good.  They also indicated that the thickness of the doorContinue reading “Completed – Hare o’ the Bear Part 3”

Hare o’ the Bear Part 2

The Honey Pot As I get close to completing this piece, I thought I’d double back and go over how I achieved some of the effects used.  I’m still getting used to chronicling the process by snapping pictures as I go, so if I leave out a technique or step you are interested in, justContinue reading “Hare o’ the Bear Part 2”
