I'm alive! Life and burnout got in the way the past 2 months, unfortunately.

I painted an Observer from Dungeons & Lasers for a limited color paint challenge -- I did not like painting the irises. The ridges in them --ugh

Virro the Firbolg Bard.

This makes 7/7! I've officially painted 200 models for 2025 with 30 minutes to spare.

Hopefully in 2026 I can paint even more then that!

Happy New Years to all.

4/5/6! Working my butt off here!

3 Ogor Leadbelchers completed. I can't finished the 4th, it's too badly damaged (greenstuff repairs for a later day)

1 to go. 1.5 hours left. Oof...

1/7 of the miniatures I want done before 2026.

Arralus the Half-Elf Ranger from Steam Forged: Adventures & Academia First Class (Cunning & Divine)

Yes that's a squirrel in armor + a rubber duck *shrug*

I still need to paint 7 minis to reach my 200 goal for 2025.

I owe it to myself to try while also painting them to a level that I would deem acceptable.

You can see my previous posts to get an idea of what that level is.

I'll post them as I finish them!

I took a break from painting and from social media, various reasons, nothing serious, but I am getting back into it.

I counted my projects, 193 models painted this year.

New challenge: Paint 7 more before the new year, making it a flat 200!

We will see if I can manage it...

Might it have already been pointed out? But I wonder if it's a coincidence that Squire Udo from the WH+ 4th year model release looks an awful lot like the Necromancer in the 5th?

Haven't posted much lately. With work, holidays, & other hobbies, I've put social media on the back burner.

Just finished Dunegon Crawler Carl: Gate of the Feral Gods. It was great! Can't wait to pick up the next book.

Soulstone Survivors, a bullet-hell pc game, has been my go-to hyperfix lately.

Crazy that I got these in the early 90s & just painted them.

My Washer misaligned & threw itself across the laundry room, breaking irs drainage pipe in the wall & spilling about 20 gallons of water across the floor.

I had to remove the carpet, fix the pipe, & hopefully not have to buy a new washer...

Naturally I was not in the mood to paint yesterday 💀
