The lucky dog you still have your Warduke action figure, all I have left is my Troll.
Welcome! As for the sword, as long as it's steel it can go on the cubicle wall. If it's foam, please hand in your keycard and security will escort you out of the building.
Welcome, Stephen!
I'll have you guys know Stephen and I shared many wordless head nods at NeonCon. I think it actually began to bother him after awhile. I mean, how many times can one guy shake face at you, right? I was a nodding machine out there!
A hearty welcome (home) Stephen!
My what big minis you have.
And as I'm sure you know, new art in the blog posts you write are always welcome.
Those are just a handful of my special "minis." I'm actually a huge collector of fun things D&D and d20. Those guys are just a small selection of my rather large D&D action figure collection. I also collect the Citadel range of D&D minis that popped up in the 80s (still a great range) and Underworld Minis, not to mention the great offerings over at Reaper Miniatures.
After I start participating in Tuesday's minis painting lunch, I'll have to throw up some of my finished work. How's that for art?
Oh, I guess you mean art from books. I'm sure they'll let me do that from time to time in the near future as well.

I tried games with foam swords when I was younger. I was banned from that activity for hitting too hard. From then on, I've only used cold hard steel.
I guess I get to stay. ;-)

Nodding never bothers me. I'm a big fan of the wordless head nod. Nonverbal communication FTW!

Obviously, welcome (again? still? ;-) to the Pathfinder community.
On a side note: I'm on the verge of taking up a collection to buy the Paizo office a real camera. The last few in-office shots have been such long exposures that they've got horrible motion-blur from hand-jittter, even at blog resolutions.
Of course, for photos of print proofs like the recent Bestiary 2, perhaps that's seen as a feature ;)

To be honest... we would never use said camera. When we do photos for blog posts, it's almost ALWAYS because we're scrambling to get art up for some last-minute something or ever, and as a result those pictures get snapped via camera phones.
That, and no one here's all that bad-ass at photography anyway.
That, and some of the cell phones here have crappy cameras anyway.
That, and they're supposed to be snapshots, not professionally-done photographs. That's part of the charm. It's easy to overproduce a blog, and that way lies the route of 1 blog post every few weeks, unfortunately. We've all got a LOT more stuff to do than making every photo be an award winner.
Like writing overly long messageboard posts.
Like this one.
I guess I should get back to work.

After I start participating in Tuesday's minis painting lunch, I'll have to throw up some of my finished work.
Stephen's professional relationship with Paizo actually started several years ago, when he painted some of the GameMastery Compleat Encounters minis for our product catalogs. See the product pages for Dark Elf Sanctum and The Vault of the Whispering Tyrant for some of his work.
Having seen a picture of you for the first time I think you could be a mean Prof. Snape next holloween.
DAMN! I Always WANTED the Nightmare... not to mention the Dragon steed. I had to be content with the Hook Horror, Dragonne, and the Castle play set. :)
That's funny. I had the bronze dragon and always wished I had the warhorse . . . ;)

I definitely have the hair! Now I'll just have to get that sneer down and become a little more pasty white.
Sometimes my wife dresses up as Bellatrix Lestrange for Holloween. We would make a dark and strange couple.

Congratulations.
Are you making fun of my regurgitation minis painting technique? Sure when I’m done the minis smell bad, and there’s always the danger that I could rip a hole in my esophagus, but the technique is really fast!

I have both. The warhorse is cooler.
I have the Hook Horror, the Dragonne (actually Erik Mona gave me that when we worked together at Wizards). I don't have the play set.

At least the pasty part will be pretty easy -- either a little foundation or maybe just a slight floor paste would do it -- and to be honest I think you'll need to get some face putty for the nose.
BUT it would be a kicking costume.

I knew it!
I had Zarak, Warduke, Strongheart (I had one with a silver paint job and one with a grey paint job), Ringlerun, Ogre King, Northlord, Mercion, Kelek, Grimsword, The Fortress of Fangs, the Nightmare, and the Bronze Dragon.
