I've not been doing a whole lot of painting recently, so this is a bit wonky, but I'm OK with how she turned out.

One of my players is out of action for tonight, so we're playing board games instead.
The debate around which board game I should bring isn't quite settled.
I'm thinking of bringing my really weird Buffy the Vampire Slayer game.
Also, please ignore my filthy rug.

So I have a friend in IT who mentioned that LLMs are mainly hampered in white collar work by data protection laws.
This makes me think of how much the current government is pushing for its use in the civil service and NHS.
Oh crap, the data leak is coming, isn't it?

So, I am picking away at my gothic warriors. I'm having quite a bit of fun with them. The prospect of shields has me a bit nervous. I'd say I'm about a third of the way through my box.

I love them. Their name is Beverly.
There are a lot of moths and spiders in my kitchen right now.

I've been feeling better lately. Wasn't tired, so I decided to crack on with some of my Gothic Warriors. Tried to fill out the hemlines to varying degrees of success. I did attempt neck hemlines, but I immediately botched it, so no more of that!
Also started some new ones.

I liberally applied washes to the white tunics, but I didn't like it, so I went over the white again.

I pushed myself to do some painting. I just feel like I'm fucking up these minis.
Maybe it's the awkward poses I put them in or just lack of motivation and practice, but I'm not enjoying painting these guys. It just isn't clicking for me. Maybe that'll change.

I've been taking these little quizzes before starting a teaching assistant course.
The writing on these quizzes is horrific.
I wonder if this was written by AI.

OK, so as a little affirmation to myself. These are two models painted in similar styles by me. I'm not a good painter, I don't have to be, but it's nice to know I have improved.

So I had another go at the goth warrior. Doing some shading and details. He's improved a bit, but I still REALLY struggle with eyes. I'm also not really happy with the cloak, I still don't know how to make cloaks look good.

I've not been painting much, and I'm unlikely to do much for the rest of the month because life stuff steadfastly refuses to stop happening, but I have just spent a little time on this guy
It's just a start for now, I really want to clean up details and do something about the cloak.

Every now and then this meme comes up in D&D groups, and every time it makes me grind my teeth to powder.
D&D is one of the more expensive and monetised RPG systems around.
Tons of games are sold for cheaper, at cost, or free.
You're not broke. You're basic.

Oh boy, painting these fellas was therapeutic. The boot wash is still drying, so hopefully, they don't end up looking as soggy.

OK, so far, the dish soap and old tooth brush experiment seem to be working out. The plastic doesn't look damaged, parts are holding together, and multiple layers of acrylic are coming off.
Downsides are the brush can't reach everything and it is taking a long time.

I am having a really rubbish time painting these budget space marines. I the paint keeps appearing really smudgy and streaky. So two questions:
1) what am I doing wrong here?
2) how can I safely remove acrylic paint from plastic minis?

So I have these not space marines that I was thinking of putting together. I'm wondering what heavy weapons to give them.
Also, thinking about the primary colour for the armour, I know I wanna go very bright and garish.
