Graphic artist looking for work. Mostly album art and book layout, but I do a bit of everything.
PFP: Walking wrecked robot with glowing innards.

My Mercenaries Kickstarter came in. I'm ready for some Blåhatech.
I desperately need Catalyst and HBS to figure out the licensing issue keeping the Bull Shark from having an official mini and record sheet...

I saw my first Cybertruck in the wild. The brushed steel aesthetic looks better on my dishwasher.

Why is it never the artifact stealing Christofascists that get taken down? I'm not actually super interested in the answer.

Finished my take on Grant Abbitt's Dungeon Door tutorial. It was more time consuming than the other's I've worked on, but I really like the results. Pointiness-based procedural textures are fantastic. I do wish he had taken the tutorial all the way to the lighting stage, though.

The coloring begins! I'm digging this method of procedural colors for a couple reasons:
1) My brief foray into UV unwrapping wasn't great (room for improvement, for sure).
2) Using the sharpness modifier and gradients feels a lot like using washes and edge highlighting on minis.

8v8 classic BattleTech, tonight, on 4 adjacent hex maps. Finally taken this over-embellishes over-washed Griffin for a spin.

Part 1 of Grant Abbit's "Dungeon Door" tutorial done. Need to put it down for a bit to work on a different project but so far I'm really happy with it. I definitely overcomplicated it by sketching out ram horns and a latch/padlock rather than just a ring handle. (This is my third Blender tutorial).

We're about half way into Color Out of Space and it is way less campy than I expected from an HP Lovecraft movie starring Nicolas Cage with special guest Tommy Chong.

Anything piloted by a human that needs some reaction speed, and be flexible in use, makes sense with a human body plan. Our brains literally have a billion years of evolution to be good at piloting this body config and no others.
Everything else is either more mental overhead, or less flexible.

I wish I wasn't addicted to HoloCure. There's lots of other games I want to play. But between it, Vampire Survivors, and Death Must Die, I find it hard to let there be a bullet heaven game on Steam for which I haven't collected ALL of the achievements.

I understand the importance for brevity in our bios, but how else will I let people know I'm a graphic artist looking for work, a music loving radical left agnostic egg who plays games and paints miniatures, AND properly describe my PFP and banner since we can't give them alt text?

I read about this in the middle of the night, and went to see if it was real…
I present- Christian ouija board! For only £44 you can talk directly to Jesus!
Some people didn’t like the idea though…

Current progress on my first round of mechs meant to have a place in canon BattleTech. Just locked the paint in with a coat of future polish. Next step is black and brown wash, matte varnish, gloss for the windshields, then basing.

Sometimes I forget how bright this 20+ year old pot of Citadel Mithril Silver is. Grey Death camo done with two layers of Army Painter Gravelord Grey Speed paint 1.0 over Ash Grey primer. Next will be some Tin Bitz and something bright for the canopy glass, red details, future polish, then washes.
