Dolphins, You Say?

 Something a bit different today. My colleagues over at Deadstar Publishing are come back to the Indy Comics world after a long hiatus. The Comics Convention community has been slow to rebuild near us these past few years after the world shut down, but Deadstar is back and very much alive.


Besides my own work with Deadstar, Danny J. Western (@teamjawa on Instagram) is ready the way for the third instalment of his comic series Dolphin Squad. 


The first two books are already available from Deadstar, but the new book is nearing completion and has gone live to Kickstarter this week to begin funding the printing costs. I'm a big fan of Danny's work and the first 2 volumes are an absolute riot of bright colours, delightful characters and fish puns... so MANY fish puns! Dolphin Squad really is a lot of fun, so if you're even just a little curious give Deadstar a look and if you like what you see, help get Dolphin Squad III printed and out into the world. 

God knows we need heroes more than ever, may as well use dolphins.

Dark Corridors and Neon Punks

 It has been a while, pure laziness on my part to upload photos, but I haven't been idle with painting. First up, finished proof of concept. I have been planning these for ages, and after a game of Necromunda the other week, I finally sat down and started work on the Acid Punks gang. 

The majority of the models are normal paints, but the bright colours are all fluorescent. They needed a few layers and a lot of patience, however I am incredibly pleased with the results. I'm finishing off some more marines to bring the army up to 10ED standards. Once they're out of the way, back to scarring my retinas. 



Going back to the afor mentioned Necromunda game. Gave me the chance to show off the sci-fi corridors I've been working on. This was a slow burn project that I'll be going back to every so often. I've only painted half the box so still plenty to get done, but what I have so far still makes for an interesting board.
