My #BG3 3D-printed Sovereign Spaw figurine came out VERY nice!
Sadly it lost two fingers off its right hand, and two shrooms broke off its beautiful crest and their stalks had to be amputated :(
Overall though, I'm extremely happy with the quality and resolution! It will be painted :)

Y'all, the power... it's in my hands...
Assuming I learn how to use Blender, how should I pose Sovereign Spaw (my dear mushroom friend) to be 3D printed? 👀

Deeply unserious heist

Excerpt from BBC news:

The gang reportedly arrived at 09:30 local time, shortly after the museum opened to visitors.

Four suspects arrived with a vehicle-mounted mechanical lift to gain access to the Galerie d'Apollon (Gallery of Apollo) via a balcony close to the River Seine.

Pictures from the scene showed the ladder leading up to a first-floor window.

Two of the thieves got inside by cutting through the window with power tools.

They then threatened the guards, who evacuated the premises, and cut through the glass of two display cases containing jewels.

A preliminary report has revealed that one in three rooms in the area of the museum raided had no CCTV cameras, according to French media.

French police say the thieves were inside for four minutes and made their escape on two scooters waiting outside at 09:38.

The gang had tried to set fire to their vehicle outside but were prevented by the intervention of a museum staff-member, the culture ministry added.

Culture Minister Rachida Dati told French news outlet TF1 that footage of the theft showed the masked robbers entering "calmly" and smashing display cases containing the jewels. No one was injured in the incident.

She described the thieves as seemingly being "experienced" with a well-prepared plan to flee on two scooters.

All compleated planeswalkers deserved to be gnarlier. I tried to do his canon description justice! (Only half of his face and one eye remain; the rest gives way to rugged metal and is bleeding oil.)

Excerpt from All Will Be One story:
Beside him, Tibalt was a nightmare of bony plates and protrusions connected by raw, braided sinew, recognizable as himself only through the smirk on the remaining fleshy portion of his face. His tail, always bifuricated at the tip, had split all the way to the base, and now terminated in two wicked stingers that dripped glistening oil onto the root path behind him.

I saw interest in a rewriting of Tibalt's compleation on my Tumblr, so I decided to sketch out a redesign of him, as well... to be transferred to digital and colored in!

A pencil sketch of Tibalt from Magic the Gathering as a Phyrexian -- he is mostly covered in gnarled copper with holes in it, his ribcage open and curling up into a kind of crest with sinew strung between the prongs. He has a bifuricated tail, both sides of which end in oily dripping stingers, and his right arm has been converted into a blade, Furnace style.

Somehow, Jin catches strays in all my fics.

Upon the screen is a collage of images, primarily featuring some sort of strange chrome mechan with a toothy, self-assured grin and a barbed spinal column. Some images display the mechan with a flare of metallic tentacles attached to its lower half; others, with birdlike legs clothed by a pair of gaudy silk trousers.
Sami looks over and snickers. “Oh, you’re got a type.”
“Excuse me?”
“Never mind.” Sami kicks back in their chair, knocking back a drink of their own.

I should really finish this fic...

Tezzeret turns, causing the dark cloth fastened at his hips to flare dramatically. “If you must summon me again, send a transmission to my ship--”
“Nah.”
Tezzeret arches a white eyebrow at Sami. “’Nah’?”
“I’m feeling generous, and you owe us some elaboration. Stay,” Sami insists, feeling bolder than usual.
Their boss eyes them evenly. A twinkle of amusement sparkles in his eye—clearly, whatever transpired between the crew and the Endstone’s maker has put him in a good mood. “Very well. You’re curious. That’s good.” He sits with a heavy clang back at his place at the coffee table, clapping Sami on the shoulder solidly. “I’ll just have to keep Mm’menon waiting a bit longer, it seems.”

MtG #Vorthos question: If YOU could've chosen the first compleated planeswalker, who would it be and why?
Bonus points if you tell the story around it! Why them? How did they end up there? How do they cope?

Improving my sketches by studying #BG3 screenshots. This is my drow spore druid/death cleric, Aunvrae!

A black and white pencil sketched scene of a drow elf from the torso up, who is wearing simple camp clothes, a necklace made of fungal flesh, and bird skull earrings. Their shoulder-length white hair is half braided and half loose. Giant mushrooms, craggy rocks, and pipes are visible in the background.

Critters from the Georgia Aquarium, featuring one VERY BIG friend!!
Sadly I didn't get to see the peacock mantis shrimp, which I really wanted a glimpse of, but I'm glad it has some time for privacy in its shrimp life!
