From my post earlier, this is the marauder from the salvage box set for battle tech gothic. For this, and the Mac from the last post, I tried using a paint scheme from one of the cards. Changed it a little to be a bit more red.

The front of the marauder. One of the halves is purple with a little bit of purple on the cockpit some gold trim, but it’s predominantly red leaning forward with a Canon also in the same type of colors scheme. The side of the marauder showing more of the gold trim with a little bit of Nick’s metal shields on the sides, as well as red banners with some black trim around it They’re half of my other predominantly showing the purple side as well as some gold trim. Banners. Back of the router with some gold trim and you could see the black joints

Decided to get a salvage box of Battle tech Gothic and got the urban Mech. The little trashcan that can. Compared to the main line battle tech stuff. It has a lot more detail and a bit bigger really took a a lot of steady brush work for it.

Red urban mech with a purple side canon and gold trim. From the game, BattleTech Gothic. Back view of the mech a lot more adult trim, and you could see the plating on the side with mixed metals Side view of the Mac, you could see a red banner dripping down as well as more gold paneling with a red background

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Finally finished the iron head squat gang leader. Did some air brushing on the armor and then filled out the fabrics with some orange good contrast with the greenish blue. It may or may not reference the Miami Dolphins.

Zenestra from age of sigmar. Been working on her on and off since the initial release. Bit of a darker color scheme, but I had a lot of fun with it. Also is thematic sense. She’s right beside a skeleton after all it’s Halloween.

Still trying to recoup emergency bills and two months no work.

If you can help, or spread the word, it'd be pretty huge for me, as I try to get back on my feet, literally and financially.

Also, enjoy some of my minis

Finished the leader of a black Suns gang squad. Big Green guy figure I could say he’s a part a orktober. Joking aside, decided to use a darker paint scheme, the contrast of the yellow and green.

A Warhammer age of Sigma Cavalier. He turned out pretty interesting, using blackened armor and gold trim. Still got a lot of work to do, especially on the face and the rest of the armor. Overall, I’m liking how he’s turning out.

These are some of the classic Heroes of Palladia, my custom regiment I started about 15 years ago. This mix of metal models represents some of the most famous officers and characters from the Palladian Guard - glad to get some paint on the Consul, who's been sat around for years in metal.
Consul Severus, ruler of Palladia during the recent civil war. He is a man standing in ornate white lacquered armour, patterned and with gold embellishments. He is striding forward with a staff in one hand and a hammer in the other, as well as a laurel wreath on his brow. Captain Nero, one of the most famous officers of the 9th Legion. He is a slightly chubby officer in green flak armour, pointing over one shoulder with his thumb and holding a shotgun in the other arm. He is wearing a helmet with a red crest, signifying a Palladian officer. Veteran Sergeant Hastus, wearing green flak armour and a heavy naval revolver, while ordering his troops forward with a wave of his hand. Veteran Sirus, standard bearer of the famous 33rd Company, 5th Legion, also known as the Dawn Guard. Sirus is wearing green flak armour, carrying a laspistol, and holding a huge red flag with yellow edging which is billowing behind him.

Been working on a clan aerospace fighter. Because Mechs are the stars of battletech. I decided to keep the paint scheme simple. To better match up with my clan ghost bear I used a light gray color for the hull. Unfortunately the 3 red claw marks were dropped.

Got another batch of Ogres done. This batch compare the other ones is a bit more fantasy oriented with a Landsknecht theme. A lot easier compared to the GW ones I posted earlier today. It was a great opportunity to experiment with color schemes and quartering.

Got a classic bunch of old Warhammer 40 K ogryn done. Bit of a slog to paint because of all the random bits and bobs you could find on them. But I’m pretty happy overall how they turned out. It’s a very slap together, look compared to the modern counterparts.

All the projects! My Scarecrows are finished, I built the hull of the Abbess, and a couple of Tormentors assembled too. Finally, I have wanted to repaint the eye lenses in my older SM helmets for a while, and got 2 squads touched up.
