Hey, my name's Sam.

My DeviantART is being used primarily to promote my miniature modelling. I first got involved in this art form in '98 or '99 when I was around 9 or 10 through Warhammer 40,000; a wargame produced by Games Workshop set in the far distant future. To say I was involved for the artistic side at that age would be a lie.

I fell in and out with the game for some years, back in '05 I started to take the modelling side of the hobby more seriously and began to develop my painting skills. A few of the models painted in this era of my life can be found in the "Old Models" album of my gallery. However, while at Sixth Form I pretty much packed it in because I was busy with other things.

After Sixth Form, when I began working full time near a GW Store in around September '07 I started to get back into the hobby with a much more serious design on the painting and modelling aspect than before. At the time of writing this (end of March '09) I've only gotten around to finishing a few models but started work on plenty.

I now feel that my painting standard is sufficient that as I begin finishing models I can upload them to dA for critique and opinions.
Pretty soon I plan to get some kneadatite sculptures started and finished. It is my intent to build up a capability of being a well rounded modeller and painter.

I'm all about helping skills develop. If you have something negative to say about my recent models, feel free to come out and say it. I'd much rather find out that something looks wrong or that I've been doing something wrong than carry on in ignorance. I'd do the same for you. :)

For anybody curious about other art I might do, I like a bit of amateur photography. I've finally gotten round to setting up an account for it and uploading some photos. I've got more on my hard drive waiting to go up but until then check it out.

I always was keen on collecting models, trying to see it in the making. :D

Ha! Do it, nothing to be lost by having a go ('cept maybe money ...) and there's so many manufacturers out there you're sure to find something to pique your interest. Judging from your art the main sculptor I know of that I think might interest you is Edgar Ramos. Check out his model called Jigsaw which is pretty rad: [link]
