Concept Finalized, New Merch, Bust Painted! BTS #66 (Patreon)

What up, mini family?! 

Let's start with the thing I think people are must looking forward to hearing about. Tatiana finished up the rough sketch for the concept art for my new swamp-elf mini! She's now refining all the details. 

This is probably the 6th revision and I love it. The head being held by the hair and the nearby recently-used knife, the scale mail, the shortened antlers, it's all great. This guy also has a string of elf ears wrapped around his quiver because he takes them as trophies from his victims. We had it originally in the front, but it was obscuring too much of the torso and also I thought it would be a fun easter egg for people to find!

Since my wife is working with me, we decided to start fulfilling our own merchandise. We'll make some more money this way, we can sell it alongside my vampire miniature and future miniatures, and we can also sell whatever merchandise we want. We're not limited by what teespring offers. 

Here are all the boxes of various merch items and shipping supplies. We're doing t-shirts, hoodies, patches, pins, and flat brim hats.  I used to fulfill merchandise in the past on my own so we kind of know how this works. We also have a new design coming out with this release. 

Yes, that is a recognizable character's decapitated head and yes it is bleeding the words "Paint more minis". \m/

Lastly, I finished up this bust for a commission. It was an experiment with texture. The video painting this mini will be all about the different ways you can get texture, whether it's wear and tear, stippling, applying paint with a sponge, etc.

That's all for now! PAINT MORE MINIS!
