Made a couple Star Wars droids into Star Trek droids. I like them a lot, I might have to make a couple more.

I got my CT Toys Gambit today and I’m so glad I finally caved and bought him. Sure he’s a KO, but he sure doesn’t feel like it.

Thanos: Your struggle is pointless James T. Kirk, you must see this is a no win situation.

Kirk: I don’t believe in no win situations.

"How to Draw the X-Men: Nightcrawler" by Dave Cockrum

Original Model Sheet of Dave's favorite new character.

Remember, the tail DOES NOT grow out of his a**!

Uncanny X-Men Masterworks Vol. 1 (2018 edition)
"How to Draw the X-Men: Nightcrawler" by Dave Cockrum Three headshots: right profile, front view (normal) front view (smiling) Two body shots: front, left side. There are three columns of character notes. Column 1: When drawing Nightie from the front: do not connect the tail directly to his crotch - You'll give the code fits, and John Romita ulcers!! Column 2: Nightie's face is always in shadow. It's an effect he creates himself: do it like Wally Wood dramatic lighting, but from the front view the whole forehead is dark. Nightcrawler stands about 5 ft 10 in but may look a bit shorter because he doesn't stand up straight.Nightie's hands are the same size and proportions as normal human hands. The fingers are thick and spaced wide apart. The tail is connected to the base of the spine. It does not grow out of his ass! The tell is prehensile, by the way. Column 3: Nightie has fangs, upper and lower. Be subtle, just leave white brakes or gaps. Big blatant teeth make him look ridiculous.

A little mix of Liya Alopex from LADoToys. She’s a pretty great little figure, despite the usual problems that come with a figure with a bushy tail.

“Attacked from behind!”

Now that my initial hype around these JoyToy Star Trek figures has faded, I have to say they fell short. Compared to JT's other 1/18 scale figures and their upcoming Star Trek ones, these feel lacking.

Just did a trade-in at my local toy spot and walked away with these two! The boxes were a little banged up, but they were still sealed and the figures are brand new, so I call this an absolute win!!

Painted up a stealth Chopper Predator. I think I was doing pretty good, until I hit the fishnet parts. Smh 🤦‍♂️

I just finished reading the Star Trek/Green Lantern crossover and it was pretty fun! The highlight for me was the Klingon with a yellow power ring.

Good morning nerds! Have you been triggered yet today? If not, this oughta do it. 😂 yep, this happened in the 96 Star Trek / X-Men crossover. Spock used a Vulcan nerve pinch and took Wolverine down, for a moment.
What do you all think? I love Spock, but I don’t think he’d even get the chance.

Finally got a haircut and shaved the facial whiskers. I’m gonna grow the ol’ anchor back out on my chin, but I might keep the hair short for a while. It feels good.

Imagine a better version of yourself. Look up to that person, make note of what needs to change for you to become them. It seems trite, but if you can't envision someone you can grow into, you may never grow at all.
