Mostly art I think is cool. Maybe some personal posts?

Computer engineer type guy by day, purveyor of unmarketable OC artwork by night. Trying to be normal about things while being very not normal.

This year has just been an unending marathon of shotgunning obligations and events one after another, which is cool in a "being alive in the world and having experiences" way, but also, when do I get time to be a schizoid weirdo in my art hole? Am I truly alive if I am not drawing?

In other news, Danny gave me a brand new brain disease. I avoided Rimworld for a long time because I KNEW it would be a black hole that I enter at 4 PM thinking "I'll play for a couple hours" and then next thing I know it's 1 AM.

Avoiding mods for the most part but couldn't resist a little treat.

All done. Hyden even got his tinted shades so now he looks like a sex pervert (as he should). Really wanted round ones but the only seller I could find was in Korea and wouldn't ship to the US anymore, so aviator shades it is...

Gotta take some good photos of them later. They turned out real cute.

Peepers went on easy! Even the goatee wasn't too tough.

A caveat about waterslide decals is that they're translucent, so you need to bring your own solid white. I lacked the finesse to paint a white base under Ambroys' eyebrows etc so I'll need to carefully paint over top instead.

Almost done!

Detail work. Hard to see in this bad lighting, but Ambroys' golden steaks look really good.

Need some minor touch ups on the hands/sleeves, nail polish on Hyden's horns (once dry), & then the face decals. I'm a little scared of that part... I do NOT want to mess up & have to re-airbrush the faces.💀

4 rounds of airbrush and 1 round of Mr. Super Clear... next step: detail painting & a few manual touch-ups.

The airbrush really does get that professional, smooth finish even in my incompetent hands. I love doing shading/gradients, but hate waiting for stuff to dry & cleaning out the paint bowl.

Wow those accessory pegs went right in there with a drill. Would've been even easier with metric drill bits... I think. They're snug enough to stay put but can still rotate.

Waiting on a pointy-snout faceplate for Ambroys... then I will dig the air compressor out of the garage & learn to airbrush.
