JOE'S Hunting Death Digger

Joe sent this to me a few days ago, and for some bizarre reason my email decided his mail was Spam, which is wacky because he is in my Contacts List. I am pleased to share with you Joe's Hunting Death Digger!

Joe I love this fun little scene! You can really see how big a Digger is!

I have to think good thoughts for the little warriors future...lol!

You are REAL Brother...and I thank you for that!

Starting The BME Brotherhood Gallery

Mr. Erik Myles has started this for us, by simply being the first to post his wonderfully characterful paint work on a DEATH DIGGER and a RATTLE WING. You did a great job Bro!

I look forward to adding the work of my other Internet Brothers to this Gallery...Joe & Jeff, get to work my friends!

I will have Super Steve, my all powerful Webmaster, set this new feature up at The BME Site this week.

HOOKAH EXPERIENCE PROJECT: Part 2 (Opening Night)

I have COMPLETED The HOOKAH EXPERIENCE MURAL...More or Less. It is done for now. So this is how it looked on Opening Night. (As always, if you click on the images they get bigger).



So there it is, after 1 day of planning, 1 day of drawing, 5 days of painting, and 2 days of inking. This is the first large scale work that I have done in many years, so I discovered that it is like breathing, you remember how to do it, even if you think you are out of practice, it comes right back...lol.

It was fun to hang out on Opening Night with friends, and see people enjoying the lounge.

Seated to my left is Charlie, the owner with his father directly across from me, and the big guy across from Charlie is my good friend Joe, who is the guy that more often than not takes me to the post office and takes pictures of my big happy dumb ass while out in the field on missions. Note the devilish grin on this cool old fellow...probably why we are friends.

Charlie and I have an agreement between friends that he will pay me monthly and that I will come back to do a little work on the slow days, to make this mural look even better. We waited until crunch time, because he had to get the wall done, and let it dry, so I did not start working until 2 weeks before opening date, but it got done enough to look okay...for now.

I took on this project to get my new computer paid off, and since I had to wait for my turn to come up in the que at IWM, I figured I may as well help a friend and make a little bit of extra loot, so it is all good I think.

I had fun, got paid, and got reacquainted with my very old friends, the brushes and the paint. Tis Coolio indeed.

BLOOP!

HEP Part 1

HOOKAH EXPERIENCE PROJECT: Part 1

I Have been working on a Full Wall Mural for a friend and local business owner who is expanding his company by opening a Hookah Lounge in his second location, which is just minutes from a bustling college.

I have been working on this mural since last week, while I wait for my people at Iron Wind Metals to get my Production Castings ready...

Here is a peek at the wall from a few days ago.

I will have a full preview of the entire painting in my next article.

REAL Warter Effects Videos

Looking ahead again to future Terrain Projects for TOMORROW BLACK, I found this cute video at Woodland Scenics about making REAL looking water, it gave me some ideas and I am definitely going to buy the products used in this demonstration.

Other Woodland Scenic Instructional Videos are available at their main site.

Paper Work, Paint, More Masters, And A Billboard!

This was a busy little week. I had my first meeting with my Business Advisor. We talked for about 30 minutes, and she had me fill out a few papers. It was really kind of easy. So I know more than I did, and have a good idea of what to do next to get BME Up & Running Legitimately.

My all new Paint Supplies came in from The War Store, and another batch of Master Castings arrived from Iron Wind Metals too.
Now I can actually start painting all of these Miniatures. Oh Glory, Oh Joy, Oh Wonder! This is the first GOOD Paint that I have owned in years.

I think I can still paint, but before I even try to work on My Pewter People and Monsters, I am going to try to (neatly) mess up this cool little Billboard. I need to experiment with these new Varnishes and Glazes a bit, then move on to the real work.

It might even be fun...

TOMORROW BLACK COVER MOCKUP Previews

Hail Brothers of Sci-Horror!

I am starting to work on Cover Mock-ups now, 5 months away from release, so that I do not have to rush later...and try to put something together at the last minute. Please not that the Girl Concept is borrowed Lois Royo art, but I am thinking of doing a painting similar to it, so it works as a demonstration of concept. In my new painting there will be a huge ass monster behind the wall she is setting against. I am going to make the city look more Tech also I think...

I am probably going to do an all new painting for the cover, but the Dire will still be used, on the back cover I think. The NEW Logos are by my old friend David Rogers.

What do you think Brothers, are these decent, or do they suck?

Tools, Toys, and Paint!

I just ordered a bunch of fun goodies; Micro Files, more HO Scale Buildings, and Vallejo Paints, Washes, and Primer. I need the files to better clean the Masters. The new buildings are a part of a project that I have wanted to do for years. These will be used with part of The Dead Road Terrain.  The Vallejo supplies are going to be the real source of work, as I have not done any painting in years.

Time To Order Some Paint!

Oh Yeah!

I'm thinking I may as well get the big set and take care of paint supplies for a while in a fell swoop.
