Gamer. I paint miniatures, build worlds, design games, hike, cook, and generally try to enjoy being creative. I'm snarky, irreverent, cynical, supportive, adaptable, and my social skills are meh. Banner courtesy of @andreriveraart.bsky.social
I'll throw in Sorter drawn by @lamalamuerte.bsky.social; probably counts as support, although exactly how helpful that support is can be... an interesting topic.

The dead slept in an aquatic afterlife, a la Inside, and anytime someone used magic to communicate with them, they woke up. Once the communication ended, they had to effectively drown to fall back into eternal slumber.

The camouflage had to be purple, of course.

Properly green now. Except for Lucky.

I'm counting the blending as decent but I might go over it all with a green glaze to try and smooth it out more. Pretty happy with the blue though.

My most recent trick is just worrying about relative location, assigning important local geography (this place has a lot of rolling hills, that one's known for mountainous forests) and then assign squiggly lines around them as needed.

Decided I'd do some painting for Orctober. Preparation for some green Speedpaint is complete.

Need more ideas for deities, though I'm inclined to leave a few blanks for player input. Though the world allows for theoretically infinite old gods.

No portfolios, just their likes, dislikes, and a 'nameless resident in a citybuilding game' level of sympathy towards mortals. #worldbuilding

Paint scheme test. I think it'll work, though I'm not especially happy with the hooves. Those might just end up matching the carapace instead.

I swear painting these swatch caps is almost as satisfying as finishing a model. And hopefully equally useful for color selection.

As a player I feel it's my duty to make all save vile behavior feel normal by comparison.

Very happy to realize that I can use miniature base inserts as paint swatch toppers for Pro-Acryl and Vallejo Metal Color flip-top bottles. Plus they're very satisfying to paint. Now I just need to print more of them (and buy more bottle caps).

Still have a few hardcopies in the archive, yeah. I'm sure I've got a bunch in digital along with a load of alternatives.

Unfortunately I suspect the answer is yes based on this screencap from the website:

Behold, the regional map. As you might guess it's a bit of a work in progress.

Think this could make for an interesting space bug color scheme.

It struck me that it was an almost cloudless day, and yet I walked almost the entire trail without stepping in sunlight.

A comment for you from elsewhere:

Work in progress. Thinking of nicknaming this one Rick D due to the inspiration for the color scheme. #zeogenesis #miniatures

The iron lich is basically a magic-tech steampunk lich. Runs on necrotite, which is like coal but infused with lots of necromantic energies, as well as using soul cages to capture souls for spellcasting and such. The wargame variant Iron Lich Overseers are also a gestalt mind of dead necromancers.

Oh it's going to be that kind of day, huh.
