New watch. Was part of this purchase making sure it would blend in better at a larp? Yes. Yes it was

Photo of my wrist with a watch strapped to it. The watch has a purple leather band, with a purple clock face and a golden frame. The face has no numbers, instead the placement of a golden dot indicates the hour and a golden hand indicates the minutes.

The same land as the previous image but slightly tilted so you can see the chromatic foil effect

WIP of the new Exalted character, the entire concept being to build the largest man who's ever lived. Also yellow is the devil's colour.

Close up of a miniature of a huge man with brown skin, long black hair, a club hefted over his right shoulder, blue trousers and a yellow jacket. The skin is highlighted to a reasonable degree, the other areas are base coated.

Just finished the first two volumes of Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda. Absolutely excellent so far. Violent and nasty, but deeply emotional. Still absorbing it, but I am Enjoying The Themes. Also there are necromancer cats.

Cover of an issue of the comic "Monstress" The background is split vertically in half. The left side is of a dry and ancient temple. The right is of crashing waves with grasping blue hands at the edges. In the centre foreground stands Maika, the main character. Next to her is a young child with fox-like features looking scared and clasping an angry looking cat with two tails.

My little lad for the Exalted game

A miniature of a tall elf-like man in a green waistcoat, brown trousers and green shoes. He holds a walking stick in one hand, and his other hand is half concealed behind his back. He has pale blue skin but his hidden hand is multicoloured. He has a long reddish-blond beard. He is standing in front of a wooden bench with a jug sitting on it.

The same miniature but from behind, showing that he has a scroll case attached to his back

Made a tiny table for the base for my new TTRPG character

A base for miniatures on a painting plinth held by my hand. The base is made up of cracked hexagon tiles painted with an iridescent silver with brown staining. On the base is a tiny painted wooden table crafted from foam

Trusty old mug with forbidden drink

Photo of a desk set up for painting miniatures. The focus of the image is an old Rusty Quill Gaming mug which is being used to hold water for paint brushes. The mug is white and stained with many different colours of paint.

Accountability posting. This big lad is Kragnos and he's been half painted for about 9 months. I'm going to try to get him finished and post updates here to keep me honest.

A picture of the Games Workshop miniature of Kragnos, a large centaur-like beast man with large horns. He holds a mace in one hand and a large shield in the other. He stands on a rocky outcrop. He is half painted with a brown body, pink and blue mane and beard, and bronze accessories.
