Good Morning Jungle,

time for another finished project from my workbench.
This time it is all about nature and spring. The beast here is a so called "Wendigo" and you might know it from playing the "Witcher" computer games. The model itself is done from "Lord of the Print" and I got myself a printed copy that I put to an epic spring themed base. At least this was the plan, you decide if it worked out in the end ...

The base and the conversion to his head was particular fun. I also added several different small 3D printed animals to his base that also got that evil look! Can you find them all?


I wrote a massive step by step article,
explaining the motivation, concept and execution of this project.
It is included in my "Tutorial: Masterclass - Spring", beside much more content to the topic.

You can find the article on
Here are some examples from the Step by Step - enjoy:

Thank you for visiting me
for your two days of private coaching,
Thomas.

It has been some relaxed two days with tons to learn and new click moments for my student, but it was great to see your painting skills and understanding of painting grow. The knowledge on how to apply atmosphere into your paintjobs from now on makes me really look forward to what you will come up with it.

I told you there is a difference.
A difference in applying color to a miniature to painting a miniature. Now you got the tools, the eye and the approach to create your worlds in new environment and light. I am very much looking forward to this!

Thank you for your will to learn from me and the nice and good time shared!
Keep on happy painting!

Yours,
Roman

Good Morning Jungle,

here comes another review of a two day private coaching from earlier this year.
Sebastian, friend, long time student and MV member visited me once again for a private lesson.
He wanted to explore the theme or style "grimdark" in depth with me.

"Thank you again for the two days. I had a lot of fun"

- Sebastian

For the preparation for the coaching I had to dig deep into the topic myself as - so far - grimdark was not yet a style for me. For me, somehow it was a result in painting that fits well to a dark and dirty look on a miniature. Weathering, beaten up armours and more painted shadow, less, but extremely focues light. I was searching a lot on Instagram, found a lot and some really cool looking grimdark miniatures and some just dirty ones. My goal in teaching this specific topic was to explain Sebastian who is already quite the far advanced painter himself some really important guiding directions how to paint his projects more grimdark, but still not losing his knowldege about light and shadow placement and the overall quality of the paintjob: progrimdark you can say!

We had a lot of fun!

Hey Jungle,

after the diorama "Eye of the Storm" I am truely in a happy "framing things" mood and got tons of ideas. I really enoy this type of diorama as it connects me heavily with a more solid painting on canvas approach. Not just painting a part of a miniature with color. It is a full canvas for me and it brings me unbelievable joy in terms of painting and composition.

I created this small framed vignette, called "Rain of Vengeance" some weeks back and it was a lot of fun - I hope you like it!
