These games are often about coming of age, about the rituals and expectations of moving from youth to adulthood. I'm dreaming of a serious live action adaptation that might have some funny moments, but doesn't get sucked into RANDOM jokes that seem to pop up in every game adaptation. #Zelda
A wise sage tells a young Link that its dangerous to go alone, and hands him a sword. Link asks if it will keep him safe, and the sage replies "There is no safety to be found in a sword. A sword brings death. It does not give life. It is a responsibility. A Burden. This is no gift. It is a curse." Link looks surprised at these words, and the sage places his hand on a kneeling Link's shoulder. "I hope one day you will forgive me."

The varnish finished drying overnight, so here he is, the Skorpekh Lord! I put a little Fluo effect paint, and I even managed to find some Blood for the Blood God tech paint for his claws... which I think looks great! I hope you enjoy!

Painted up all nice, time to work on the base, and maybe some other effects (Spoiler in the background!)

#miniaturepainting #warhammer40k
Necron's Skorpekh Lord mostly painted, focusing on the Warp Blade gradiant effect (No airbrush so it's still a little chunky) Necron's Skorpekh Lord mostly painted, with Nihilakh Turqouise shoulders.

Caged star gods come out a little more caged than I knew! My friend printed this for me and got it to me today, so I glued together a little base for him. I don't want to cover this beautiful clear resin but I really want to get some paint on him. DECISIONS! #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40k #Necron

Played this Hexmark Destroyer as my warlord a few weeks ago and he held off a unit of custodes. Felt he deserved a hat.

I feel like it's been a journey but we are nearly there with the Nihilakh dynasty Monolith! Excited to bring this to the lgs and teleport some hypercrypt around, but just need to finish touch ups / highlights / shading interior! #warhammer40k #minipainting

Ok I think I am finished with the outer layer of the Necron Monolith. The blackstone cairns?are done and I just need to do the interior: central pillar, big canoptek spider, portal, and energy ball. #warhammer40k #minipainting
Outer shell of Necron Monolith. Overall aesthetic I was going for is of course ancient egyptian. Base color is incubi darkness, with gold symboling, turquoise plating around the death rays in silver, and green energy done with moot green overlaid by fluorescent green layer. For shading I used nuln oil on the silver metal and afraid earth shade over the gold piping. Edge highlighting done as a gentle drybrush of sybarite green.

Monolith progress this morning. Debating what color to do the little shoulder? Parts around the blackstone. Normal art is grey or metallic with brown wash that I really don't like, so might just go with gold for the Nihilakh color schema.

Monolith progress ~2 days. Figuring out colors, want to do gold pipes and maybe the corners too.

The first step on a new model is always the best part. Honestly really love putting the models together, sanding little bits of sprue off. Was going to figure a way to magnetize the guns but I kind of just love the Death Ray.

Maybe painting one little guy inspired me to finish painting the rest of my grey army. That and the long weekend. I really feel like the Nihilakh color scheme compliments the greens of the Necrons. I feel better about the warp blades here, need to keep practicing. #warhammer40k

After eating I decided to finishing painting this giant Turkey I've put off for about a year. Feel really good about everything but my warp blades need work.

Ghost likes the new cat bed, might pick up a second one for in the office so she's not laying in my computer exhaust.

I call this line, getting drunk with friends and eating chips for dinner.
This is my blood glucose over the last 12 hours, it's very high and drops steadily, then rebounds at about 5 in the morning to really high. Finally, at 9:35 ~ 12 hours later it has returned to normal fasting low level. This is because alcohol processes into sugar so you get a secondary blood glucose bounce later. Also you get very thirsty, makes hangovers worse for diabetics.

Nobody is coming to save us except ourselves and the communities we build. Bernie ran an incredible campaign nearly a decade ago; but no single person can shoulder that burden. We need to keep building our communities and helping each other.

I know winter is technically some date to another, but vibes wise winter has come to New Mexico.
A snowy day seen through a window with a table of potted houseplants in the foreground. Plants include: a flowering Christmas Cactus with white flowers, snapdragons (no flowers), Basil, Sage, Garlic Chives, and philodendron. Scattered on the table is cat toys, a watering can, osmocote. Next to plants is a blanket and a poof for cats to lay upon and view the outdoors.
