# About me
My name is John. I'm a gamer of various kinds, both tabletop and console/computer. I'm a big fan of Halo, Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, and World of Warcraft, both in its gaming functions and its the artistic details that are included. I used to enjoy Warhammer 40,000 and while I still enjoy the models, I no longer agree with the company's policies, pricing structure, barrier to entry, and rules balancing. As such, I've moved on to D&D, which still allows me room to paint models, though I admit the sculpting creativity is less prevalent. Still, I do get to enjoy creativity in the form of storytelling, which is pleasant.I have multiple reasons for being on Deviant Art. The initial reason is because I wanted to get a friend a plushie that someone made commissions for, and I needed a way to contact this person to get it done. After that, I simply admired other people's works until I was gutsy enough to post my own work. Now I post my Warhammer 40,000 miniatures and a few miscellaneous drawings. In time, I plan to post all of my Blood Angels, and perhaps my Chaos Marine army. Finally, I might post up my Warhammer 40,000 homemade unit stats for others to view and assist me in balancing if asked for.
Additionally, I run a small blog as a hobby. The topics are varied as a result, but if anyone's up for a read...

COMMISSIONS: I only do miniature painting commissions locally. If you are able to reach Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove, California, then we can meet there to handle the miniature and payment. Currently I charge a minimum fee of $20 for labor and use of supplies. I may charge a few extra dollars if I am in need of a specific paint color (Though if it's only one paint that I would commonly use, it's included in the $20). Other variables might be included based on size of the miniature, time restraints, etc. Additionally, all commissions come with a complimentary dullcoat. Once I have completed the paint job, we will meet up and I will ensure you are satisfied with the paint job. If you are, I will coat it on the spot to protect the miniature from wear and tear.

Saw them on Reddit and found them to be very inspirational. Just enough minimalism with enough detail. Loved the balance.

Thanks for those screenshots, that helps immensely...I have a horrible tendency to auto correct my builds which makes me miss it when i make mistakes on the plans themselves.

I love the work! I admit I build on a different scale normally, but my village renovations need to be on this sort of scale. Additionally, would it be possible to have it zoom in further? Similar to your other village.

Definitely! As I said before they're great layouts! I'd love to see everyone doing these sort of things for Minecraft builds.

Oh yeah, that model was intense! Like I've told other people concerning their models, it's very inspirational. I have to say you did a great job with mixing the bits up. Shoulders are very unique, and that weapon... that is seriously a lot of bits that made a masterpiece. Great job man
