Hi guys, here is a little update of what's been going on in my world over the last few months.
For a while now i have been trying my hand at sculpting miniatures and i found that the more i did this the more i enjoyed it. With a little encouragement and help i decided to pursue the sculpting as a potential career instead of painting miniatures.
As many of you may know i have been part of the 'Eavy Metal painting team for quite some time and after showing my sculpting work to the powers that be i was offered a 3 month trial as part of the design team within the studio. So for the last 3 months i have swapped my paintbrush for a wax 5 and set about trying to impress and secure a place over in miniatures design.
To cut the story short the 3 months went very fast and i was asked to stay within the miniatures design department full time, great news!
Working as part of the 'Eavy Metal team was always a big dream for me, i joined when i was 21 and didn't know what to expect. I felt lucky to work with some of the greats, Martin Footit, Dave Thomas, Seb Perbet and the unsung hero of 'Eavy Metal Neil Green. It was from Neil that i learned most of my painting within the team, being a cocky, confident and annoying (Martin will agree) 21 year old i thought i knew it all when it came to a paintbrush. Neil soon set me right and helped me loads in my first years, big thanks Neil!
After many years and many paint jobs i worked my way to the position of lead painter, leading the team was and still is one of my proudest achievements, it was a tough job at times but i enjoyed every second of it.
When i think about painting miniatures now i feel that i have reached a point when i really want to seek out a new challenge, and sculpting is that challenge now. Going from a place where i was really happy with my work to being completely new to it all is very nerve wracking but i know that i am in the best place to learn, i have to say a massive thanks to Seb Pebet who has helped me with my sculpting over the past 3 months, cheers Sebbadon!
Thanks to all the 'Eavy Metal team for putting up with me, they are now in the very capable hands of Joe who now leads the team, well done mate, you deserve it. Thanks again to Nibz, Anja (lasagne), Mark, Dave, Kornel (Korny), Joe and Matt.
Thanks for reading all, I'm still painting in my spare time and I'm looking at it in new ways so I'm sure i will have lots to show you in the future...
Thanks again.
