I joined a little bit ago but totally forgot to post here.....
lol
I've always loved the miniature scene but never could quite afford it to the level I wanted. But after a long time of complaining and then doing research, I took the plunge.
During the day (at that "work" thing), I am the lead designer/creative coordinator for a trade show company. I do 3D modeling and rendering, sometimes animation. I do piles of digital artwork at home for myself and for my friends. The 3D thing is taxing on me enough during the day and I wanted some other artwork to come home to.
I don't really play any miniature games (unless you count Heroscape...
LOL!!). We play lots of Fantasy Flight games at home like Descent. But I LOVE painting these things. Making dioramas and squads and some goofy stuff for my kids......Maybe I'll start playing Hordes or Warmachine
If you want, you can check out my art page at
www.chachiclausing.com I had to temporarily remove my 2D and 3D work so I can watermark it (I'll put it back up soon). I had some people download and start printing it
Tools I use for miniatures -
Neo for Iwata CN gravity fed airbrush
Neo for Iwata air compressor (for small or quick jobs)
Porter Cable air compressor C2002R (for the bulk of airbrushing and bigger jobs)
Vallejo Game Color
Vallejo Game Air
Vallejo Model Color
Vallejo Model Air
Citadel (mainly for glazes and technicals)
Master's Touch brushes (Hobby Lobby's brand)
Kolinsky brushes
Stone Brewing beers (it helps steady the hand!)
Started with almost all Warhammer and
40k models then I found Hordes and Warmachine. I'm really hooked on the Hordes models....just awesome stuff!
But anyway, I'm glad I finally made an account here. Seems like there are some really nice people here and some awesome talent to learn from!
Cheers!
