I suppose I should do an #Introduction post for the new people.
Hello everyone! I go by Alexander, and I paint minis! I enjoy a lot of things, so you'll not see me post exclusively about minis here. I also like to keep my corner of the 'net safe for my LGBTQ+ family here.
*Does the dance of joy*

Battletech is the best wargame ever.
I love this game, i love this lore, and i love to paint Battlemechs !
The community is wholesome, and if this game wasn't here, i would surely quit miniature painting.
And life, for some reason.
Thank you @battletech.bsky.social <3

Here's me and a bunch of stuff I've painted this year. I was pretty ill for a large part of it, so the fact I've done this much is a huge achievement. ☺️

Don’t use AI.
AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year.
It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.

I started roughly blocking in some base coats to work out my colour placement on this dwarf boy for @fenrisgames.com, but then pizza arrived so I stopped and ate pizza.
The pizza has a sausage stuffed crust. It's very good pizza. Almost as good as this dwarf.

A lovely customer sent in a pic of a gorgeously crocheted hat she made w/ 'Rainbow Magi' & these are a huge hit so they're becoming gifts she's making. I think it's a basketweave stitch w/ a gorgeous ribbing on the bottom.

Stupid lore Sunday
In the dark days at the end of the 41st millennium the galaxy is in turmoil. War is everywhere as humanity and xenos alike battle to secure territory and resources. Chaos has split the stars in twain and death stalks the void. Hope is fleeting, the space for affection brief.

Got a special request from one of the spinning testers for an ocean blue w/ a blue sky w/ clouds, etc. They sent in a gorgeous image, so I got to work. I didn't get a gradient right but this should work up gorgeously.

Depression sucks.
I've got a tiny voice trying to say, "I'm gonna be *EVERYONE'S* problem!"
But it's being overwhelmed by the chorus yelling, "Why bother..."
Anyway, have a bug.
