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.

I sometimes wonder at what music may have influenced Warhammer, specifically in this case Necromunda.
Transvisions Vamps - Pop art released back in 88 has some tracks that definitely put me in mind of the setting.
Trash City, Hanging Out with Halo Jones especially put me in the vibe. Hence my gang.

I’m about to be between major projects so I’m taking the opportunity to knock out the handful of Aeldaeri kits I’ve been sitting on for a couple of years.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.
When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.
Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.
