i remember @dieworkwear.bsky.social posting re: lighter/tan/brown shoes with a dark/blue suit and disagreed, though the basic logic of drawing the eye up to the face rather than distracting with the socks and shoes seemed sound.

i just saw this photo and said damn, those two need some black shoes.

its a great season for scary fucked up eyes. pupula duplex/polycoria in particular. if you've got some fucked up eyed, now is their time to shine and/or maybe have a little trouble focusing idk
[also congrats to darkwood 2 devs for announcing, game look great]

as the corporate nucleus of the outer colonies, Mar Nosso has all manner of obscure military surplus funneled back to it and resold. or recirculated.

what kind of planet does Chris Foss tiger stripe camo work on?

i know i keep posting these weapon renders but they are actually making it into the game as sprites, too. these are renders (so not lit as they will be in-engine) but here are some of them as sprites for #brigadorkillers.

still have trouble with adhesion / color depth on the dye even after four coats; ended up stippling with the sponge in the most stubborn areas, i assume in part because it isn’t real leather. still drying in this pic but overall happy with results. going to cure and then work some balm into it.

the big tip for anyone looking to restore some vintage furniture: get a bottle of Howard’s Feed N Wax. a lot of the time when vintage wood looks worn and damaged, it isn’t at all—it’s just dried out. here is the back of the selig chair, before and after applying feed n wax and buffing.

take two restoring the seat on the selig (eames lounger copy). leather filler can help repair big cracks and damage but restoring the surface texture can be dicey. sanded down the first repair, re-applied filler, then hit it with SEM Chip Guard, an aerosol spray intended for bumper repairs.

a mateba is always a good idea though we’ve got two revolvers in the game already and i’m not sure we can fit another gits nod :)

excellent week for the founding members of the .357 club in #brigadorkillers. is there an interesting niche i'm not thinking of that's a .357 magnum caliber gun?
August 29, 2025 at 9:37 PM
on the other end of the 357 gamut we have the... Hilfmir? what is that, swedish? #brigadorkillers

sometimes we must respect the call to make a goofy gun even goofier. #brigadorkillers
August 27, 2025 at 9:45 PM
it did! the inspiration was three parts. FC3’s doing gun descriptions in character voice, John Dolan’s writing as Gary Brecher (The War Nerd) for the character tone itself, and Keith Thompson’s doing story vignettes for his art on his site for the overall world building approach tinyurl.com/ycd5e6xw

the barrel isnt long enough and there are some inaccuracies but i'll never get them all done if i fuss each weapon too hard. this is very close for our purposes. i enjoyed the modeling exercise of modeling out the bipod as closely as possible.

watched Stargate in a fit of pique after realizing i probably hadn’t watched it in close to 25 years. an admirably sound nuts and bolts construction from a different era of craft. roland emmerich’s work would be equated more and more with bombast over time and yet this film feels super old school

sounds like a book i’d like to check out. the cover also strongly reminds me of Dhalgren, a book i still haven’t read somehow but the cover alone has haunted/inspired me since childhood
