🎨 Welcome to My Miniature Painting Realm

I specialize in painting miniatures for games like Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer 40K, and Descent: Legends of the Dark. My focus lies in layering and glazing — two techniques that help me build depth, smooth transitions, and a dramatic sense of atmosphere. These methods allow each miniature to come alive, telling a story through light, shadow, and texture.

To achieve the best results, I primarily use paints from Army Painter. However, I occasionally reach for Citadel or Vallejo when I need specific tones, finishes, or effects. Every color has a purpose, and every layer matters.

🔥 Featured Project: A War-Torn Diorama

One of my favorite and most detailed projects is a custom Warhammer 40K diorama. It features Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka locked in brutal combat with a towering Tyranid. The battle unfolds in the middle of a grim, apocalyptic city. Around them, crumbling buildings and scorched debris set the scene. The composition captures a frozen moment of chaos, heroism, and total destruction. It’s more than a fight — it’s a cinematic story told in miniature.
