Another commission complete! I really love how these turned out. And SPOILER ALERT — the photos below include all the scythe minis. I’ve started with the tiger. This was a mini received from BGG and while most of them looked very decent (especially for the price) the tiger was rather unfortunate. The color was wrong and the stripes were almost non existent. It looked like a yellow-green wolf. I offered to repaint the tiger while keeping the flocking and the character untouched. He also had me paint his Fenris minis with masked bases and premium flocking. I’m super pleased with how these turned out. I also tried to do a slightly more satin finish to match the look of the BGG minis so that they wouldn’t stand out too much.
For the orange colored minis I did a little more yellow in the mix than my last one and I feel it helps set them apart better from the red minis. I definitely will be using this color scheme for them in the future. With that all said — enjoy!

So excited to finally be able to post these. I was thrilled when Tommy from Meeple Realty came to me about painting tiles for his 3D Printed Terraforming Mars tiles. After painting them, I’m very tempted to get some of my own! He’s working on making some/all of these available for purchase but if you want them painted you’ll have to do it yourself (or hire someone like me).

SPOILER WARNING: This contains photos of the minis from RISE OF FENRIS. Another commission complete! Did this one a little different than my previous jobs. I always like each one being a little bit unique. The client loved the colors of my previous jobs so I amped it up a bit for these ones. If you’re interested in having me paint your minis, go here!
I picked up Fenrir while I was at Gen Con 2018. And with a bunch of commissions coming in, I felt this was the best time to get him finished. Super excited with how he turned out and I’m feeling more and more confident with OSL painting!
POST BY DAVID BOCK. Another commission complete. I absolutely love painting Scythe. In part because it’s a challenge (as the minis aren’t very detailed) and second because I know them well enough now to improve upon my previous work. I tried something new with this one, painting the base colors and highlights with the airbrush and then coming in afterward for the details. It really made a huge difference.
I plan on doing a painting video in the future, likely for my painting I did for the SPACE PARK rockets for Gen Con 2018 with Keymaster Games. They’re very simple and easy to paint, while still being creative.
If you have any questions at all on how I painted these or what I used, please feel free to ask. I’m an open book and always happy to share any of my “secrets”. That includes my photography and videography as well. I’ve always felt that a rising tide raises all ships — so if you’re struggling with something that you think I can help at, just let me know!

POST BY DAVID BOCK. I am so happy with how these rockets turned out. I was worried about the extremely simple nature of these rockets and decided I’d make that integral to the look. I’d considered getting super detailed with them but I think that’d take away from the theme and ambience of the game. By keeping each rocket (in general) to a “two-color” scheme, they blend in.
Our friends at Keymaster Games reached out to me about painting them and I was both honored and nervous. I love these guys (they were the first company to ever provide me a review copy of a game) and I wanted to do their game justice. Plus, I knew I’d be demoing the game at Gen Con as I had volunteered to help them out a bit on Saturday (which ended up being so much fun). They asked for three schemes. One that matched the game and two that were unique.
For the first, I wanted to match the look and feel of the cover as much as I could (and likely this will be the look I go with for my own game.
For the second, I wanted to go with a Flash Gordon (yellow and red) scheme. I loved the rust red it ended up having and I’m very partial to it.
For the third, Kyle (Keymaster Games) suggested a “cosmonaut” look and so the red and silver was the result.
Hope these inspire you to paint your own miniatures and if you have any questions — as always, never hesitate to ask! I’m an open book!
