Ok, as far as art goes mostly I do a little painting. Mostly figures for wargames. Here are some examples:

I dont have a very good camera to take pics with, but to give you a few examples of what they are:

This is a Grey Knight justicar (there are mods to wear his armor is fallout3). He is one of the first models I ever painted. I got him for my 20th birthday from a friend. He cost $16 at the time, and is a unit leader for the game Warhammer 40K. Currently I think its still the most popular table top wargame.

This is a random model from the "Warlords" mini selection. The model used to be part of dozens of less popular wargames over the years. I have no idea how the game was even played. He was $7. =P

This is one of my favorites, a carnevean. You cant see all the hightlighting and detail in the model but its there. He was 16 metal bits that needed to be pinned, glued and painted when I first got him. Out of the box set he cost around $25. I could sell him for $50-60 easy. He is part of the Hordes game, a sister game to Warmachine, a big competitor for Warhammer.

This is a Warmachine Bahemoth, sells for $50 a pop and contains over 35 pieces that need to be assembled. The difficulty assembling and price make them rare on the tabletop. I have lovingly put almost 20 hours into him and have seen similar models sell for over $150.
Maybe if I get a better camera I can get some fancy photos up later. I still enjoy painting though I haven't been at it much recently. I have found lately that I really enjoy painting fire, as I'm getting better at glow effects and highlighting.
Any questions about the hobby or advice I would be glad to answer.
