A small commission of giant... Beetles.

 These were painted up as Fire Giant Beetles. Quick and shiny and ready for the table! Here ya go:

This is the output after applying gloss varnish.

***[UPDATED] The giant has his companion: meet Mayhem, the Owlbear!

 These two are a pair that I've been wanting for some years now, and just found both of them by shear happenstance. They're 28mm scale minis as far as the details are concerned and would make formidable OpFor on any table. 

The Owlbear feathering isn't Standard Operating Procedure colors, but he's a made up thing, so I'm taking artistic liberties to make him look badass! The face and eyes had to be completed first thing as the helmet and face armor would have been too much of an impediment for getting all of the right details in there after it was put in place. 

The paint is.... very focused and with more precision than I usually practice. They are larger models which require a wholly different philosophy sometimes, but the detail work is very time consuming to get the proper and correct illusion for the eyes. It's all about the optics, you know.

The giant is a MOM Miniatures Chaos Giant and the Owlbear is by a company called Trenchworx. Neither model is 100 percent yet. This is two months plus of paint so far...

UPDATED PICS 09-19-25. Still on the table:

I'm putting all of my tools into these two. 

Natural lighting this morning for all the defects, colors and everything!

Meet Mayhem:

A Bookshelf Dragon: Reaper Bones Classic 77503 TEMPLE DRAGON

 A quick, dark Dragon for a bookshelf!

A badly molded Reaper Blacksting, Wyvern 02636 #2 On the Table!

 This miniature is such a dynamic sculpt that I had to buy one for myself and see what I could do with the colors. Unfortunately, the miniature that I purchased was a factory defect. At some point, Reaper Miniatures produced a run that the base did not come out good enough so they shipped it with a plastic base instead. So I made my own. For a first try with putty, baking soda/cement mix, blue Tac and paint... it looks pretty good! This is still only about 50 percent complete. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!

This is the color palette I chose for this model.

New base work begins.

A very strange, but mostly friendly group of monsters:

 Hiya!
