My Professional Work
Some of my favorite pieces over the years.
Chaos Space Marines- Ducks, Slaanesh, Tzeetch, Khorne, Nurgle
Chaos Space Marines, in duck form! This was a personal passion project featuring four ducks, one for each of the Chaos Gods: Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Khorne and Nurgle.
I went bold with the colours and contrasts, giving each duck its own Chaos-themed character through the armour and details. The whole series was a fun painting challenge and a chance to explore something a bit different.

DND Gargantuan Monster- Corpse Crawler
This Corpse Crawler was a commission for Nathan, a regular customer who wanted a suitably menacing final villain for his D&D campaign. The third-party model was a fun challenge, with its curved, segmented body, tooth-filled mouth and an orange creature on the rocky base.
I used bold contrasts to bring out its sinister character. Got a campaign villain of your own in mind? Get in touch and tell me about it.

Emperors Children Lord Of Excess
The Emperor's Children Lord of Excess was one of my own passion projects, painted with vivid pink details, turquoise robes and ornate gold armour. I love the custom flames and little motifs sprinkled throughout.
I'm a massive fan of their whole theme: stimulants, music, violence, rock and roll, and experiences IN EXCESS. Just like me. This was my take on a custom chapter, with the plan to build my first Emperor's Children army around it.

Dnd Player Character Model, Kobold (Cell Shaded Style)
Nathan commissioned this little kobold player character alongside his Rooster Folk fighter. It was my first go at cel shading, using strong colour contrasts without black to give the model that bold, illustrated feel.
The green scales, colourful clothing and raised staff gave me plenty to work with. This was a fun chance to try a different painting style on a character with loads of personality.

Huntik Amulets; Caliban, Hoplite, Sabriel, Springer, Feyone
I painted these five Huntik amulets for Conrad in Scotland: Caliban, Hoplite, Sabriel, Springer and Feyone. This commission introduced me to the show, its lore and its passionate fanbase, and I had a blast getting to know something new through painting.
The colourful, gem-like centres and ornate frames gave each amulet its own character. The project also led to more commissions from Huntik fans. If there's an amulet you'd like painted, let me know which one you have in mind.

DND Miniatures Player Character. Rooster Folk Fighter
I painted this Rooster Folk fighter for Nathan, a local customer who commissioned it as his player character. It was such a fun model to work on, with a bright red comb, dark armour and green trousers, all finished off with a grassy scenic base.
Nathan also commissioned a small kobold alongside this piece. If you've got a player character you'd love painted, tell me a bit about them.

Vortex Beast - Warhammer 40k
I painted this cheeky Vortex Beast for Nathan's Thousand Sons army, leaning into bold colour and the creature's chaotic character. Turquoise tentacles, orange flames and blue-purple armour give it plenty of contrast, with an eerie feel to tie it all together.
Nathan's commission gave me room to get creative with the colour scheme and bring out all those wonderfully strange details.

Mac Farlane Space Marines
James commissioned these four McFarlane Space Marines, which took my painting to a scale I hadn't tackled before. It was a great chance to work on bold, individual paint jobs, including the blue armour and white shoulder panels on the figure pictured here.
I also made a custom flag banner to complete the vignette. Working on these much larger figures was a fun challenge. If you've got a display figure in mind, get in touch and tell me about the project.

Demon Prince, Warhammer 40k
This Warhammer 40k Daemon Prince commission was a real labour of love. Purple skin, turquoise-and-gold armour and a green sword gave me plenty to work with while pushing my brush control, blending and high-contrast colours.
The best part was blending flesh into bone and back into ceramite armour across the model. Such a unique painting challenge, and I was genuinely sad to see this one leave the workshop. If you've got a centrepiece model in mind, let's talk about the finish you're after.

Thousand Sons, Warhammer 40k.
A Thousand Sons commission for Nathan, with turquoise-and-gold armour and bright green flames bringing plenty of colour to the set. SUCH a fun bunch of miniatures. We set the bar high, and Nathan gave me the patience to really make these sing.
I'd learnt a lot by this point, and this was the first time I could comfortably say, "Better than the Box Art". Get fucked GW. If you've got a Thousand Sons project in mind, get in touch and let's talk colour schemes.

Space Marine, Custom Chapter, Warhammer 40k.
Ryan came to me with ideas for his custom Space Marine chapter, and we went with a blue-and-silver armour scheme, a purple sword and orange flame effects. I feel like we hit it out of the park.
Painting two-tone armour was a lovely learning experience and gave me a new appreciation for the painters in old White Dwarf magazines. A whole army like this would be quite the project! Got a custom chapter in mind? Send me your ideas and we can talk through the scheme.

Clicker From The Last Of Us, Bust.
A Clicker bust from The Last of Us, painted with orange fungal growths, pale skin and a torn green shirt. Man, how good was the live-action show? It really had me hooked.
I leaned a little into a grimdark style here, but only a little. My addiction to colour still came through! This was a fun change of pace and made me want to paint more busts. Got a character bust you'd like painted? Get in touch.

Demon Warrior, Custom Bust.
This horned demon bust was an excuse to experiment with contrast, new colours and a bright palette. Purple skin, turquoise armour and ornate gold details made a combination I really enjoyed painting.
I still don't know where the sculpt is from, but this piece helped me fall in love with bright, high-contrast colour and the way it draws your eye. Such a fun bust to work on.

Fantasy Party, Hero Quest.
A colourful party of Hero Quest miniatures painted for Katie, with bright armour, swords and a large winged figure. I love HERO QUEST. Finding an old copy in the house I grew up in was what got me hooked on miniature goblins and models you could paint.
Katie shared that same love for the game and gave me plenty of time to work on her collection. Maybe too much time. Sorry, Katie :P They're now in their forever home. If you've got a much-loved board game you'd like painted, let's talk.

Dnd Prop- Mimic Chest (Props and Beyond Model)
This D&D mimic chest from the Props and Beyond Kickstarter was a personal passion project, and it won their 2023 community Painting Competition.
I leaned into the chest's strange character with vivid eyes, strong contrasts and resin effects. The raised wooden lid, colourful eyes and clear strands of drool give it a wonderfully unpleasant look. There's a lot going on in this little chest!

Phantom Rock, Bust/Map Piece.
This Phantom-inspired rock bust and map piece was painted for Kelby, an Australian jeweller and huge Phantom fan, for his Kickstarter. The grey masked face rises out of sculpted stone above green terrain. A pretty unusual project, and a great chance to grow my skills early on.
The Kickstarter didn't get funded: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rqphantommap/phantom-country-a-map-based-on-the-phantom-comic
Had it gone ahead, it could have meant 400 hand-painted minis. Looking back, probably for the best :P

Shrunken Head, Prop.
Meet "Grandma", my painted shrunken-head prop. I LOVED this little guy and kept it hanging from my car's rear-view mirror for quite a while.
The wrinkled brown skin, stitched eyelids and lips were a fun excuse to blend old, pallid flesh tones. This was also one of the pieces I learnt on when I first got my airbrush, so it holds a special place in the collection.

Custom Hero Forge
This 2022 Hero Forge commission taught me a lot about painting, pricing and realistic expectations. The brief from an NDIS company was to print, paint and package 33 unique miniatures for 33 individual clients in four weeks, each matching its customer's Hero Forge design.
This wasn't batch painting. Every character had its own scheme, and I didn't use a single Contrast Paint. Looking back, I'm proud of what I pulled off.
At the time I charged $70 per mini, just below the $75 Hero Forge physical miniatures I was comparing them with. Was that practical pricing for me on my own? No. Would I take on the same brief again? Probably not. But the experience helped get me where I am today.

Eldar, 40k
A fun mix of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Eldar troops painted for Anthony to fill out his Warhammer 40k army, including some lovely old-school sculpts. The blue-and-yellow character pictured here brings plenty of colour to the group.
If you're adding to an existing army, tell me which models and colour scheme you have in mind and we can talk through the painting level that suits the project.

Orcs x Miami Dolphins, Blood Bowl.
Shane loves his NFL with a bit of fantasy, so this fully 3D-printed Orc Blood Bowl team got a Miami Dolphins-inspired turquoise-and-orange scheme. One of two teams I've painted for him, with loads of character, especially in the goblins and their face plates.
It was so much fun working those team colours into the models. Thanks a bunch, Shane! Got a favourite sports team you'd like to bring to the Blood Bowl pitch? Send me your idea.

Goliath Cleric, Custom Dungeons and Dragons.
Nathan's custom Dungeons & Dragons Goliath character was a fun change of pace: grey skin, layered robes and a big blue-and-white hammer. Nathan was open to ideas for the scheme and really let my creativity run wild.
The tattoos and painted light coming from the hammer were particular highlights. Got a player character with a story, colour scheme or signature weapon in mind? Tell me about them and we can discuss a painting commission.

The Batman Who Laughs, Bust, DC Comics.
The Batman Who Laughs bust was part two of Santo's gift to a friend. The spiked visor, grin and red-lined black collar made this a really fun comic-book character to paint early in my career.
I'm usually all about poppy colours and blends, so working with a more desaturated palette really pushed me. I repainted this one a lot! If you're thinking about a comic-book bust commission, send me the character and look you're after.

Terminator, Iron Hands, Warhammer 40k.
Ryan's Iron Hands Terminator captain was cobbled together from multiple parts and sprues, making this a really fun custom Warhammer 40k commission. Black armour, orange robes and a blue power sword gave it a colour combination I loved working on.
Ryan was always open to the creative side of the project. If you've got a kitbashed character that needs a paint scheme, send me what you've put together.

Khorne x Green Bay Packers, Bloodbowl.
Shane brought together two of his loves for this commission: Blood Bowl and the Green Bay Packers. His Khorne team got a green-and-gold scheme, with spiked armour and skull details keeping all that chaotic character.
He had some wicked ideas and was a gem to work with. I'll be real, Khorne looks really good in green and gold. Who would have thought? If you've got a team crossover in mind, I'd love to hear it.

Beerus, Bust, Dragon Ball Z.
A Beerus bust painted for Santo, with purple skin, yellow eyes and a blue, black and gold collar on a grey pedestal. I've known Santo for a while, and you won't meet a kinder bloke. Except when he's losing at 40k.
I believe this was part of a Christmas or birthday gift. It's been a while, sorry Santo :P It was a fun early project that helped me get comfortable taking commissions regularly. Also, Beerus fucks.

Black Templars, Warhammer 40K.
An early Black Templars commission for Daniel, with dark armour, white crosses and red weapons across the miniatures and their big armoured walker. Daniel really let me go ham, especially with the 3D-printed bases.
I learnt a lot from this one, including how to balance creative freedom with getting someone's models back to them. Sorry for taking so long, Daniel. Lesson learned :P

Chaos Priest Upon Pulpit, Warhammer 40k.
A Chaos priest reading from a book in an ornate pulpit, flanked by flaming torches. Ross commissioned this piece to sit on top of his Chaos Imperial Knight, which was such a fun idea.
Ross is the sort of guy who hands me miniatures and says, "Paint good please", then gives me the patience to work. I really appreciated that when my attempt to paint a pentagram from memory turned into a Star of David. That made for a funny email chain. Thanks again, Ross!

Ogre, Hero Quest (My First Ever Miniature)
Behold, my first ever mini: the Ogre with an ‘artisanal’ harpoon! This beauty was born in my dad's basement when I stumbled upon the Ogre Hoards expansion and decided to get creative. Armed with nothing but sheer enthusiasm and a bottle of that infamous brown Gorilla Glue (yeah, that one), I made my first attempt at kitbashing.
Young me thought, "Why not give him a harpoon?" So, I grabbed a pair of dull clippers, hacked a harpoon off a troll from the Mines of Moria set, and slapped it on the Ogre’s fist with enough Gorilla Glue to ensure it would survive an apocalypse. The result? A sticky, brown mess and a permanently confused Ogre who has no idea why he’s holding a harpoon, or how.
I keep this masterpiece on display on my portfolio, and my desk as a reminder that we all start somewhere, even if it’s with questionable glue choices and a lot of imagination. If you’re ever feeling down about your own work, just remember: every pro was once a Gorilla Glue enthusiast.
