This is enough to get some paint on!
Will be painting it digitally just so I can play around with some of the colours. This scanner has been great so far!

Doing a little sketch of the Great Unclean One. Always a go to doodle subject!
#pencil #art #warhammer
I can't afford the model, so I just end up sketching them and will likely (digitally) paint this one up! Nurgle stuff seems way fun to paint.

Waves - Soft Pastel on paper.
I am trying to hone in the scanner for the slight impasto of the pastel on paper. Some bits are out of focus. It's not too bad here.
And older piece. Enjoyed making it though! Love the sea.

Here's a small export from the scanner (reduced output size, but the original scan is great!). Very happy with it.
Bear - Watercolour on 4x6 hot press paper.

Went to a little model village nearish to us. Nice weather for it!
Going to try and do a few little drawings or paintings based on our visit!

Bit of controller history (kinda) here;
The MPC Fly. I bought it for my iPad and made some early beats on it.
Currently boxing a lot of my samplers and controllers away. MPC wise I have this, the mpc1000 and Live 2.
Happy memories!

Sorting out some of my old games, found this boxes DK64. It says no expansion pack but I remember it had one in there, as I have the plastic bit from the N64 in the box.

This was seen as expensive when I bought it (got a discount though!).
Good old Gamestation

Playing around with some heightfields again.
I find it pretty relaxing and fun. Here I've gone for some kind of microscope image. Hopefully giving a sense of it being zoomed in to maybe the surface of a tiny pebble.

Need to get back to model building and painting, but these kits are great fun.
Just note the plastics really don't like some paints (hence the crack in the front plate, which is now a stylistic choice).
Painted it as if it was posted in an autumnal England.

Here are a couple of photos from it. This was for the animation and rigging team for The Lion King (the CG one).
Such a fun workshop. Gary Faigin was awesome!

Made a vegan soda bread.
Buttermilk is usually used for soda bread (and isn't that common to get any more), but you can replace that with oat milk and apple cider vinegar.
Messy but easy to make, tastes lovely with butter and perfect soup bread!

A couple of paintings from today. Watercolour. Sadly the masking tape I'm using is tearing the paper up.
Fun art studies!

Bought a little watercolour palette and gone for a kind of warm & cool selection.
Only used watercolours once before but think it will help with limited time between other bits & work!

After continuing to look at Bonner's work. I did a quick study to test the new bristle brushes in Rebelle 8 (early access).
Pencils are my own based on Bonner's various work (simplified!) and then paintover in Rebelle.
Top is just water based mediums, bottom is a mix of water, dry and oil themed.

Cleaning the front label improvements: Mild neutral face wipes do a great job! I'm using cucumber cleansing wipes on it just to get grime off (even that will still be too abrasive if rough).

Things I've learned so far:
Regular erasers are great for getting sticky residue off the back label
The front label doesn't have much protection on it, so most things will sadly fade the label (I tried a few different approaches).
Magic eraser & water works really well for the grey plastic

Gonna give these a bit of a clean today. I have a smallish N64 collection (a few dupes in there). Nothing too rare (I don't think?!).
Love the form factor of N64 cartridges, chunky!
Looking forward to the new FPGA offerings on the way!
