Behold!

I took a pause from the MPC project to paint the Wizkids "Classic Beholder," based on the (I dare say) iconic Tom Wham illustration from the 1e Monster Manual. An image that has stuck with me all these years, and despite there being no suggestion of color in

First Wave of MPC Minis

I’ve gotten through most of the monsters from the Dungeon Invaders kit. Been kind of avoiding said invaders as they are some of the most awkward looking figures I’ve ever seen. To make up for it I am going to add more monsters—some OG Grenadier minis, including

Crawlin’ Back to You

Here’s my latest project. I've had an MPC AD&D Action Scene kit for, what, 20 years? I bought it on eBay once upon a time and have moved it back and forth among three continents. It came with all the pieces glued, but no paint

The Blue-Furred Nalfeshnee, At Last

So it's been a long, long, long while at the 'Vistas...we've moved countries, among many other changes, in the last five years. Sorry for the cyclopean absence. Here's my latest effort--made in my new man-cave-type study/office/workspace/closet in Prague. Maybe

Fantasy Toy Soldiers...who knew?

If you're an aging Gen-X geek with a few hours to kill, head on over to Fantasy Toy Soldiers right now and indulge in one man's obsessive quest to document off-brand (and often wacky) toys along the lines of plastic army men or dinosaurs. I can&

The Grenadier Beholder Project Part III

Here at last is the finished Beholder. I added a base using the GW base finishing kit. I like the results, though I found that this particular cast of the mini had some flash between the eye stalks that I couldn't get out. Other versions I have, for

Shambling Mound Portrait

I was coloring with my kids the other day and decided to sketch out a shambling mound. I was pleased with the result. It's a wonder what a big box of Crayolas can do, even when you're (ahem) 40.

The Grenadier Beholder Project Part II

The Grenadier Beholder Project

So I remember studying the many images of that beloved original D&D monster, the beholder, from the first edition Monster Manual, various modules, and especially this one from the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Album (lovingly described by Blizack on Dungeonskull Mountain a few years back): I also

Heritage Treasure Trove, Part 1

Working Daylight Out Of the Body: The Brain With Feet

Here's a piece I wrote for my other blog, which is part of my Creative Writing class. Working Daylight Out Of the Body: The Brain With Feet. A little piece about the Intellect Devourer...

Ecce oculus: Behold the Eye

I don't know what specific circle of Dork Nirvana I entered today. As my friend Doug would say, "you're embarrassing yourself." But here goes... Confession: I built a beholder out of my kids' Legos. (Sorry, Lego Bricks.) It's a first version,

I Pulled the Trigger

OTHERWORLD | Home Page. My first blog is a quick one...I just put in an order for a bunch of Otherworld Minis, which seem to have been growing silently and steadily since I first started web-stalking them a year ago. I brought my paints and whatnot back to Singapore with
