He/Him - Unless you're talking to Kriksy, who is She/Her

Writer, Creator, Nerd. Often Jokes that he lives with an Evil Woman in his head. She helps him Write.
In all cases, I’m not recovering well.

There is distinct thanks to everyone who helped out after the crash, and it was helpful, but less than a third of my immediate costs were covered, and I’ve been vigorously selling things to cover.

But my pre crash ordered BDay present arrived!

More paint!

Got my Legions Imperialis army
back from store display, so now it’s time to put it with the recent works and make sure it all still matches up and fits together thematically, because I’m terrible at sticking to a scheme when I don’t have reference models In front of me.

Beep Boop, the (Dark) Mechanicum advances with some “leadership” figures.

Tangential, that TechPriest on Foot is the Cutest Chibi miniature I’ve ever painted.

Quick basing recipe for Bronzed Metal (Legion Imperialis)

1) Start Primed
2) 1st Layer of Doombull, in one Direction
3) 2nd Layer of Doombull, counter direction
4) 3rd Layer of Doombull, applied circular
5) Wash with Agrax
6) Drybrush with Bloodstone using a very large drybrush

Step one is going to be re creating the basing scheme of the Iron Warriors I have thus far.

The bases are primarily only 2 colours (one solid, one drybrush) with a pair of washing layers. (One full shade, one heavily watered down at the end), with the Aquila motif being a third colour.

Managed to trade out some of my prized 3.5ed DND books for the new Epic Mechanicum box set.

Should start some play by plays here.

Or at least fully document a process into a painting guide.

Can't paint like this anymore... Sheesh.

That Eye in particular.

The Purple Wall background, means this was painted in Paynesville... Almost 20 Years ago.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,221,697!

I'm honestly surprised I'm that low on the list...

I hate having to ask for help. I hate having to be in that position, but the New Year has already not been kind, and... I don't have any other option. If anyone can help, please, anything is helpful.

It’s rare that I actually admit to myself that I’m one of the last of a certain group. Sure, there are those who are below us, but they grew up in vastly different circumstances - overall better ones, for sure, but sometimes you wonder if the pain and hardship made the difference…

"Who am I? Dear, that is entirely the wrong question to be asking.. Who am I. Of course, I am only going to give you at best, half a truth. Would you be satisfied with that half truth, would you walk away content. Or would I find you here again tomorrow, just itching to find that one word more?"

That feeling when your tire replacement is quoted for $500, and then an hour later blooms to $750 because of previous owner shenanigans regarding custom rims… yeah.. my budget was $400.

Today, I launched a small "Danse Macabre" initiative, where people are able to write a short piece on those they have "Loved and Lost" -To let them feel like they are reaching out beyond the veil. Guiding their words to their lost ones.

I have so many to write about. That others join In I hope.

Well, one way to get rest, I guess... Forced day off because although YOUR store is exceeding all of their targets, other stores aren't and hours need to be cut across the whole business...

So this bodes well for paying rent next month... But another reason to keep Writing.

I find I am mostly creative when listening to music. But at the same time, I'm not a compulsive music-listener... Which of course, means that most often, I'm gathering ideas when listening to music at my manual labour job, when my head isn't otherwise occupied with, y'know, day to day survival.
