I’m Scott, and I’ve been a gamer since I was eight. Back then, Dungeons & Dragons was a geek’s game, and plenty of people saw it as taboo. I started as a player, then moved on to running my own sessions. Art came along with the gaming as a way to bring scenes to life, first as sketches and then as full drawings. Eventually that led me to painting miniatures. My first attempt at those tiny metal figures did not go well, so I set them aside for a while.

After college, Warhammer pulled me into wargaming and back to the paint table. Unfortunately, the people I painted with soured the experience, and for years I drifted in and out of the hobby. Then in 2013, miniature painting really called to me, and I decided to get serious about it. It had been a long time, so I started learning all over again.

This time, my goal was minis that could be played with and still look great on the table. There are more ways than ever to learn now, so I soaked up every technique I could find and made it my own. My work keeps getting better, and I’m still picking up new tricks of the trade. These days I also love passing those tricks along, which is why I teach miniature painting classes at local game stores.

Scott is an avid player and painter of miniature games.
