Welcome to Ethereal Painting Studios!

It's been a while since my last entry. In my latest commissioned miniature I started pushing true metallic metal painting. I haven't paintined in true metallics in quite some time really, so it was good to start working on that again.

After realizing that pretty much everything I had in the shop section had been sold already I made some additions to the Shop section of the site. I will likely be revamping a good portion of the site in the near future. So check back to see the additions.

Finished a couple more figures recently... Trying to work with "real" colors.

Finally got a new computer up and running after my old one died on me. Along with my computer dying my painting miniatures also died down. Unfortunately, I am still working on Sumothay. His most recent progress can be seen on CMON Here or he can be seen in my Painting Log Section under "Sumothay".

"Painting Log" has been added to the site. Feel Free to check it out!

I've been working on some of my first serious scenery pieces ever recently. These will likely be for sale after the next Golden Demon Competition. I still haven't decided whether or not I am going to end up using them in the competition or not.

Wood Elf Lord w/ Great Weapon + Display Base has been sold.

After a long absence due to a dying computer I am finally going to get around to updating more often again. I attended Games Day Chicago this year and entered pieces into 4 categories of the Golden Demon competition. Unfortunately I did not place in any of the 4 however I made it passed first cut in 3 of the 4 categories. Not bad for my first serious entries into the Golden Demon.

Also, look forward to seeing the shop section become more useful in the near future.

A quick face shot of the piece that I am currently working on.

It's been a little while since my last update. It turns out that I am going to be attending Games Day Chicago instead of Baltimore this year. I'd like to have around 5 entries. So far I have 3 near finished entries and 1 more that I just started recently. Also, I am going to be backpacking through Europe this summer, so I am going to be kicking up the amount of commission work that I do. I kind of have been slacking on my commission work lately since I finished paying off my car. I am officially debt free, and it is fantastic.

Last Predator of blood has been added to the gallery. This miniature marks the beginning of a new style of painting for me. Now it's time to try to get my first 9 on CMoN. Followed thereafter by my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I may yet reach my goal of getting into the top 100 painters there.

It's been a while since my last update. This update brings forth the miniature that I painted for the WoH auctions.

As well as another Wolfen towards my army.

In other news, I bought myself an airbrush over winter break. Hopefully this will open new doors to my painting career.

Almost one year later brings the first major update that this website has ever seen. From here on out I will be updating on a more frequent basis with news, new miniatures, works of mine that are for sale and so on. My current project is what I have been calling "Wolfen Kingdoms". This project is simply me taking Wolfen miniatures and using them with the rules of an Ogre Kingdoms army in Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Feel Free to check out the Rune Priest that I recently finished to start off this project.

My name is Mark Rupp and I am currently working on opening this website in order to get myself more known to the miniature gamers around the world. I myself have been playing miniature games for the last 10 years of my life. I hope that you find this website to be straightforward and in good shape.
