Don't get me wrong; I enjoy Bluesky and would never go back to the other place, but I do find it funny that my 'Following' screen and my 'Discover' screen are basically the same posts just in a different order.

So, this is supposed to be a sentient sword of pure evil for an upcoming gaming session. It hasn't been washed, but.. I feel like it's missing something? Maybe a rune in brass or something on the hilt? Any advice from the expert mini painters out there would be welcome! #ttrpg #minis #painting

Calling all mini painters! I want to start following more who are into the hobby so I can get better at it myself - who is out there?

Now you're ready for washes (careful of the eyes!) and dry brushing
Hey! You did great!
