Do you want to know what I'll be painting next?

It's Beowulf! Also from @fenrisgames.com

I asked my historical reenactment friend for colour advice and he said lots of different colours was a sign of wealth and then shouted "But don't paint him rainbow!"

I think I have a reputation. 😂

See all those dots? ALL of those are a reminder to myself to do something. Take meds, feed fish, do dishes, etc. But *also* reminders to do things like making sure to make, keep, or go to appointments.

This is the part of growing up and aging with ADHD that sucks.

Art is to express not impress!!

If you enjoy your process then you are doing it right.
Remember!

Drybrushing isn't cheating
Contrast/speedpaints aren't cheating
Airbrush isn't cheating

Use whatever practical tools you have on your desk to make your miniatures look great!

The real value is in the fact you've made some art yourself. No machine can ever replace your own creativity.

Stupid Lore Sunday

The galaxy is a strange and terrifying place. When ancient cartographers created their maps they would mark the unknown ‘here be monsters’. In the grim dark future the maps are infinitely larger but there be monsters still.

Feels like -23°F (-31°C)

I don't think coffee is powerful enough to fix that. 🥶

#BHM Day 6: Black Bohemian Figure 🧶

This colorway is inspired by a Black figure depicted in an early 15th-cent Bohemian astrological ms from the court of King Wenceslaus IV. The figure is not identified as a specific historical person, but their presence is nonetheless meaningful.

Well, I made a Loops video.
Holy moly, I do not like my voice. Don't be surprised if I don't do that often. 😅

Well, it looks like Upscrolled turned out to be an anti-trans Nazi bar. So, no, I will not be joining.

I will, however, check out Loops. It seems to be a kind of federated version of Tiktok. It's still small, so there's not a lot of content. But, the more people that go there, the better it'll be.

OMG it’s Friday. Weird.

Anyway this week the theme is…spooky. Why? Just because.

So let’s see ghosts and ghouls and things that go bump in the night.

As usual i’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!

#BHM Day 5: Portrait of a Young Woman 🧶

Today’s colorway is inspired by a late 18th-cent "Portrait of a Young Woman." The sitter’s name & life remain undocumented, as is often the case for Black sitters in 18th-century European portraiture. What survives instead her presence, rendered

Got frustrated the first time around and deleted my saves for HBS #Battletech a while ago. I think it's time to give it another go.

Yesterday, I started a #cardboard project that will end up being a scratch-built set for #BoardingActions that will, with some imagination, also be perfect for a DIY dungeon for RPG night.

It's gonna be my.. Cardboarding Actions Dungeon 🤭

This is genuinely great advice for any competitive game. I try to do this while I play games and it does wonders for my mental, and even the mental of the rest of the folks in the game.

Turns out being a massive cunt to the people around you is a bad thing we shouldn't do.

Who would have thought?

#BHM Day 4: Maternal Rainforest

This is a brand new colorway in time for #BlackHistoryMonth.

It's inspired by a 17th-century allegorical image of a Black woman representing the continent of Africa, part of a series of 4 baroque murals (in Prague) personifying the known continents
