this is pretty much because i refuse to pay 70 dollars to own a small camille desmoulins climbing on a chair

still trying to work on better sculpting the hands but I've got a reasonably decent technique for sculpting pointing fingers which is entirely on brand for these guys

started sculpting my own dead frenchmen because they dont sell most dead french political revolutionaries as 28mm minis

oven baked clay + air dry epoxy clay + wire for armatures + beheaded plastic heads from other minis + modelling putty

danton, sj, desmoulins, robespierre, wip marat

Anecdotally, I just started putting some up!

While back, a family member into photography bought a photo printer and took a paper framing course, and asked me for some of my pieces

I like surreal backgrounds and Napoleonic military history so that's what I do in my creative works, non ai and ai

i

wrote a poem?

inspired by carnot's poem about hammering words together

using claude ai to help transcribe and translate lazare carnot's poetry (standard disclaimer: this is for fun not for actual analysis)

and honestly

i can relate to just hammering words together (in my original writing and poetry)

trying to get chatgpt and gemini to help me translate lazare carnot's sappy 1820s poetry (im aware of the follies of machine translation im doing this for unofficial shits and giggles i am not an actual historian)

anyway chatgpt thonk mode

why did you feel the need to use python to open an image

showing gemini some of my original writing and every time it does this as its first thought i have to laugh

gemini did give up, get very depressed in its thoughts in failing to guess baby saint-just before he was famous

(locked up in reform house after girl rejected him, stole silver and ran to paris, tried to scam mom out of money, got arrested, about to write truly god awful monk erotica poetry)

secondly, is this intentional?

I think they're called "sweet sapphire" or "sweet long grapes" in Australia, where I'm from, or "moon drop" in America, I don't have an example on me because they're out of season but here's a picture

Also have you considered the difference between red, black and green grapes?

unfinished bucentaure, aka vice-admiral villeneuve's flagship which got rekt during trafalgar and then wrecked during the following storm

from black seas by warlord games

shitty drawing of naturalist/politician/military officer Bory de Saint-Vincent, who served as ADC to Marshal Soult, heavily referenced from an engraving of him (as intended for a discord emoji shitpost)

this is what i think he looks like when he sees a Cool Plant or Cool Bug or Cool Volcano

I'm sorry, I'm going to post the Marshal Davout Dakimakura/Body Pillow Design here too

because i also occasionally commit crimes against the napoleonic wars fandom

my best painted minis - lannes, soult, bessieres, murat's horse, junot, dragon baby, davout

one day i'd like to try wargaming but mostly im just in this to paint my favourite dead frenchmen + dragons

Unfinished bananas following their dad

aka marshal soult and his ADCs
