Loot boxes I bought the thing once, why do I have to pay multiple times for characters or items that randomly drop?

Had a conversation about how painting styles in my local area changed. Over the years for example the old saying cover in abrown wash(the spelling escapes me). So everything was very dirty looking and very dark. Compared to the day where there’s a lot more diversity in style.

Since I bought a pack for operative and commander, here’s the commander. Decided not to use the ax because of aesthetics in play style. Surprisingly he looks more like something out of halo than World War II but I like them might need to tone on the face a little.

Aside photo showing the Cannon or the gun from a different angle, as well as appearing more belts and khaki details on the gauntlets. Back of the photo showing the green fatigues and the backpack with the power cord to it.

Not done with the rebel operative. Decided to go for a US late World War II army color scheme. Which I think turned out pretty well. Decided to go with the pistol instead of the ax because to me it looked ridiculous.

Been working on this observer from trench Crusade. So far it is mostly done. I just need to work on the base. Get it off of the little piece of cardboard I have it glued on too. Maybe give it a little touch up here and there.

A knight wearing a diving helmet with a radio antenna while holding a spear. Wearing brass plate armor and chain mail with brown leather boots. The spear is black shaft. Also, on the opposite side of the tilting shield is a black cape. The tilting shield itself is red. The back of the observer, you can see a radio and the Cape, as well as the back of the tilting shield. You could see of the night his head is facing away from the camera and you could see the black cape. This side of the night you could see the tilting shield it’s a red background, three stars, a crown, and a sword on the shield

From my post earlier, this is the marauder from the salvage box set for battle tech gothic. For this, and the Mac from the last post, I tried using a paint scheme from one of the cards. Changed it a little to be a bit more red.

#battletch
#paintingminiatures
The front of the marauder. One of the halves is purple with a little bit of purple on the cockpit some gold trim, but it’s predominantly red leaning forward with a Canon also in the same type of colors scheme. The side of the marauder showing more of the gold trim with a little bit of Nick’s metal shields on the sides, as well as red banners with some black trim around it They’re half of my other predominantly showing the purple side as well as some gold trim. Banners. Back of the router with some gold trim and you could see the black joints

Decided to get a salvage box of Battle tech Gothic and got the urban Mech. The little trashcan that can. Compared to the main line battle tech stuff. It has a lot more detail and a bit bigger really took a a lot of steady brush work for it.

#Battletech
#paintingminiatures
Red urban mech with a purple side canon and gold trim. From the game, BattleTech Gothic. Back view of the mech a lot more adult trim, and you could see the plating on the side with mixed metals Side view of the Mac, you could see a red banner dripping down as well as more gold paneling with a red background

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Finally finished the iron head squat gang leader. Did some air brushing on the armor and then filled out the fabrics with some orange good contrast with the greenish blue. It may or may not reference the Miami Dolphins.

Zenestra from age of sigmar. Been working on her on and off since the initial release. Bit of a darker color scheme, but I had a lot of fun with it. Also is thematic sense. She’s right beside a skeleton after all it’s Halloween.

Still trying to recoup emergency bills and two months no work.

If you can help, or spread the word, it'd be pretty huge for me, as I try to get back on my feet, literally and financially.

Also, enjoy some of my minis

Finished the leader of a black Suns gang squad. Big Green guy figure I could say he’s a part a orktober. Joking aside, decided to use a darker paint scheme, the contrast of the yellow and green.
