I need everything to stop telling me to use AI. Like please, shut up. Only so many times I can click, “not [fucking] interested.”
And if your movie, game, book, or anything touched generated-ai, I don’t care for it.

Develop “concept art”?? 💀 💀 💀
All the image models solely rely on stolen work of countless of artists to function at capacity.
Using them not only is deeply unethical but puts the company at risk.
Not worth it and I truly hope ( hell, I’m begging) that they reconsider 😭

May I say, I think I did a good job priming my very first #Warhammer40k mini! I tried my best to get a smooth surface! Currently looking for better brushes so I can finally paint this bad boy!

The only drawback about #PAXUnplugged is that I wish I could have started going before generative ai took over. Even though there were plenty of booths and games that were original and stunning, there were way too many that used genai.
It’s seriously lame. Gamers and artists should go hand-in-hand.

I painted my FIRST Mini! I took a class at #PaxUnplugged with #LethalShadowsMinis where they provided the paints, tools, and this incredible Mimic!
I have most definitely 🌟unlocked a new hobby 🌟 and have so many online carts filled to continue my #MiniatureFigure painting journey!

Last week, I was in Austin for work and absolutely had to make sure I got some karaage onigiri from my favorite Japanese shop.
I swear to you, #AsahiImports makes THE BEST karaage ever, I have tried nearly every place in NYC and CT and no one has beat them.

I have officially declared November as “Zombember” or “Zombie Novembie” (the name is still in the works 😂). Basically Zombie Month where I watch, read, and play nothing but zombie games!
For the first time ever, I FINALLY watched #28DaysLater! A lot of fun imagery in this, also just love Cillian.

kudos to the team that worked on Ambrosia Sky for the "make things wet" shader. it's really fun to watch surfaces dry. Yes I'm spraying a corpse

Real talk. Do they no longer sell raisinets at the theaters anymore? I swear, I thought they went extinct because I only ever buy them at the movies, but to my surprise I found some at the store today!
I had to get them.
I missed you raisinets.

I’ve been REALLY into mystery puzzles lately. With this one, you have to read the story it provides and figure out who murderer is. You’re not given an image to work with (quite a challenge), but as you put the pieces together you slowly start to figure out the clues.
Can’t wait to finish this! 🧩

I love my little home. 🏕️
Slowly but surely I’m curating a safehaven where I can watch my favorite films, work on puzzles, read books, all while cozied up on my couch.
Living on my own has been an adventure. 🏔️💫

I found a thrift store a few towns over and finally came home with the cutest candle holders ! They’re heavy weighted, the perfect shade of gold, and only $5 for both! ✨
I also found a lovely tray for my limes! Would it be blasphemous to spray it gold? 🤔
