If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

A lovely day for some Orc sculpting! Green stuff for most of the additions, milliput for filling in various holes (and the hand of the thrower). Once this all dries, I dare say we're ready to start priming! I'm still on the hunt for an old hammer goblin! #MiniaturePainting #kitbash #BloodBowl

A bunch of orc miniatures, most of them kitbashed in some way. The most prominent being those in front with oversized pauldrons made of green stuff

Flashback Friday - taking pics of older bits from my collection. Before there was an Avatar of Khaine, there was this guy, the Harlequin Avatar. Nowadays he would be called a Troupe Master. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammer #oldhammer #nerdlings

Sora & Kaiju ready for some fun! 💖 I finished painting these two for the wonderful @roninartsworkshop.bsky.social & I am super happy with how they came out. I had a lot of fun free handing all of the tattoos & having a pair of cute faces to paint ☺️ I need to get back to painting more pinups!

A pinup miniature by Ronin Arts Workshop. It was 3D printed by me and painted by me. Sora wears jean shorts and a bikini top and is holding her pet Iguana Kaiju in one hand and a water gun in the other. She is smiling and has blue, purple and red hair and a tan complexion.

Felt the need for something a bit different hobby wise today. I grabbed this d&d gonzo mini with the intention of doing a "speed paint", but today paint is drying extra slow down in the hobby space, so here we are an hour and a half later, kinda partly base coated. #MiniaturePainting #muppet

So @beyondthemachina.bsky.social asked me to try making a 50s EC Comics style alter. This is what I came up with, and I'm am pretty proud of it!

EC Horror comic style sticker alter of Shallow Grave.
The top left corner has a narrow yellow box with "Horror" written vertically, and the rest of the top is "Shallow Grave" written like a 50s EC comic title.
The left side has small circle portraits of Purraj, Shauku and Spirit of the Night, with name banners over them.
The main art is a figure in a blue cloak turning to reveal it's face is a skull, with a brown background.

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Chompers gonna gitcha. Cosclay, acrylic, lots of wire, love, angst. #cosclay #sculpture #fantasyart #creature

Photograph of a sculpture against a light grey background. The sculpture is a brown-grey thorn branch twisting away from the camera, with some green leaves at the far end. In the middle the twist turns up a bit, and supports a Strawberry Bird - which is a bright red and yellow bird with green leaves at the back that is a strawberry. Some seeds in the front form a mouth with disturbingly bitey chompers.

How do you do a face transplant surgery on a mini almost as old as you are? Very carefully? Success with the swap, feeling like the goblin chirgeon from fallen empires right about now. One more to go as the face swaps will be the big un blockers. #BloodBowl #kitbash

Oh, you don't like AI, the stochastic parrot that's encouraged multiple people to kill themselves, is destroying the environment, creating CSAM, and making the internet itself unusable? Well what if I remind you that people used to call TV 'the idiot box'? Bet you feel pretty different about AI now.

Well. I *was* doing a bit of painting. Dropped something and Binx leap into action to reclaim his (conveniently warmed up) chair. Did get some things accomplished, wrapping up details on the squigs. All the mushrooms have been ombre'd. #BloodBowl #MiniaturePainting

AI stans keep comparing AI to cars and I think the comparison is revealing in ways they very much don't intend A technology with broadly negative impacts on society we were forced to restructure our lives around due to enormous corporate lobbying? One we are struggling to eliminate today?

More kit bashing over coffee this morning, a pleasant way to start the day! 🪚 Took the leap and finally started sawing limbs off and rearranging the and I'm excited with the results. There's more chopping and gluing to be done, then getting into some sculpting. #BloodBowl #kitbash

Thanks 😁 Yes, it is freehand. 1. Yellow basecoat over a pencil outline. 2. Red to yellow to white blend. 3. Lined with blue and then a fineliner pen. 4. Dots and highlights. Do your colours, then pick out the letters with a pen 😉👍 #Nerdlings #Necromunda

Graffiti step 3. Letters outlined with a coloured line and detailed with a pen.

Graffiti step 4. Extra details picked out with white paint and a fineliner pen.

Managed just a bit of hobby today! Crude spikes carved out of bits or sprue feels appropriately orky to me - maybe not as fantasy but here we are. It's a start. This friend will eventually be one of our blitzers. #BloodBowl #kitbash

Trying to get into the hobby swing as summer chaos winds down. Decided that next blood bowl season we're doing Orcs, which means a bit of kit bashing with these old school guys to make some positionals! I also need an appropriate troll. First step though is a bath. #BloodBowl
