Aw shucks! Thank you! But plenty of progress to make before I get to the level of selling my work...

Super happy with how this little guy turned out! Had so much fun painting him and playing around with such a high detail model. 💜

Really proud of how this set turned out. From designing and printing the background display frames (which hang on the wall) to trying new painting techniques on each of the figures. Gradual improvement only comes from actually doing the thing, so here's to actually improving through action... 🥰

Healthy meal preps are coming along nicely!! (If I don't say so myself 😋)

Army speed paints for now... Debating going to acrylics though.

Growing my beard out for winter... Will probably trim it back down when the weather starts to warm up, but not entirely hating it either.

The image is a close-up portrait of a man lying back in warm sunlight, which falls dramatically across his face and chest. He has a serious, contemplative expression, with slightly furrowed brows and a direct gaze that gives the image a quiet intensity. His hair is cropped very short on the sides and top, and his beard is long, full, and neatly shaped, fading from dark near the face to a lighter gray at the tips, adding a strong sense of character and age.

Finally! A style of beanie that doesn't make me look like a thug or an active criminal...

Thank you! I'm trialling different inks and different palettes (dry and wet). I usually prefer a wet palette, but I've been told it can water down some of the inks. Plus, some colours work in large areas and others... Really don't. Lol.

Decided to test my skills on my first transparent models a few days ago... Definitely a learning curve to which paints do and don't work, but I'm liking the end result...

Everyone's boundaries are different, but for me when someone's comments devolve into overly personal unjustified attacks like it has multiple times now, I no longer have any time for them. All you can do is keep being the pup friendly you and the right people will be there.

Really disappointing to see people choose to judge you instead of being curious. Their taking your words out of context to justify their behaviour is a choice... I've known you for over a decade and know the respect and love you exude to all. Are you perfect, no. Are you malicious, fuck no.

Sad I missed this, but I will keep an eye out for your next milestone celebration!

Found this little critter in one of my mini bundles and thought he'd be fun to paint... Damn was I right 😍

Cleaning out my old winter clothes and it is always nice to find when something you love fits again...

And now the freshly shorn version... Because I can polish up a bit when I need to.

Gym progress accountability (because I feel like it). Been on a hard journey the last few months, but looking at the positives I'm down to 104kg from 139kg! So now focusing on consistency & continued reduction in fat % (down to 26.9% from 32.4%)

I challenged myself to start and finish something in a single afternoon, and I'm so proud of what I accomplished... Paint and varnish are all me but I had help! Thank @jluna3d.bsky.social for another amazing model & @meholt.bsky.social for printing.

I can't decide between a gym session with (which would probably kill me) or a hike through your beautiful forests...
