Thank you Akira Toriyama


Just wanted to take a quick note to say thank you to Akira Toriyama, who sadly passed away on March 1st. Famously the creator and artist of things like Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, Toriyama was wildly influential in the greater acceptance of both Manga and Anime in the united states.

Fall of the Apes - Part 2

Funny, I called this the fall of the apes because I planned to paint all these guys over the fall. Not that it really matters, as long as I'm having fun. Anyway, onto the minis!

By request: Damn you; damn you all to heck!

The Squatches were primitive beings until they were genetically enhanced during the last war. Utilized for labor and as soldiers, they've become skilled enough to stand one their own. Now with the war over, they seek a new place in the universe. Taking odd jobs and expanding their ranks with similar aliens, they've started to make a name for themselves.

Walling up the Compound - Fogou Scatter Terrain

Since I'm still healing up, I find myself at the painting desk a bit more. So sometimes you just look over at the shelf and see what's something that's just asking for paint. In this case I grabbed some short walls from Fogou Models. You can never have too much scatter terrain after-all!

Our heroes duck behind cover as the wild beasts descend on their position.
