He/Him

Hyper fixating on sculpey atm.

Video games, Board games, Godzilla, Mechs, Gunpla, Miniatures, Kirby.

Save the animals.
Iridescent pigments look pretty cool!

Gonna darken the "veins" and then add some glossy white texture.

Néstor Carbonell jump scare and by scare I mean God lord man you are too beautiful.

Fun fact. He doesn't wear eye-liner or generally any make up at all and actually generally has concelser applied to reduce his natural looks.

#nowwatching The Dark Knight with my son. He grew up watching Batman TAS and has a hankering for something more "serious". We watched Begins the other week and he loved it. Dark Knight is imo the best of the trilogy by a wide margin. Excited to revisit!

Still umming and arrring over the Darkwater box. Do I need more warham? No.

Have I ever bought a big box of warham. Also no.

The $420aud price tag is bonkers but none GW retailers have it for $290aud which is in the realm of possibility for me if santa helps me out some....

Holy typo hell. RSV still turning my brain into mush...

Bugger* not bigger

Re-attached* not rewatched lol.

Base coat on the wings. Gonna try mixing my partner iridescent water colour pigments with medium and see how that looks on the wings.

The bigger snapped off his base just above the bell. Probably should have gone lighter on the dry brushing lol.

Anyway I've rewatched it with super glue and bicarb to give a stronger but textured bond. Gonna turn that texture into rust. Tilted him forward slightly to give the illusion of motion..

There is an exception imo.

Directors Cut of Kingdom of Heaven turns a mid movie into a great one.

Unfortunate realisation part way through the process.

Had to wait a long ass time for the oderless spirits to dry off the model. Now I'm tinting the skin with blues and pinks as well as base coating the wounds and such.
November 28, 2025 at 10:38 PM
And dark offerings for ya.

All my homies love Hygogg

Don't think I let it dry for long enough. Ended up removing more than I'd like but I think this makes for an interesting base to start applying tints and effects too.
November 28, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Normally you'd do an enamel wash and remove the excess after doing all the base coating.

Well since I'm going to be mostly using transparent paints for anything not metallics I'm going to do it now and see how to effects things.
November 28, 2025 at 12:36 AM
Messy base coat of some of the metals. Not really sure on the scheme yet but thinking yellow/greens and then some brighter blue verdigris on the armour to contrast.

Need to think up another colour for the bugs armored sections tho...

Going to experiment and do a bunch of things the "wrong way" and see what happens. RSV is still kicking my ass and my hands are so shakey it's impossible to do anything neat anyway. May as well channel the sickness into some Nurgle.

Quick coat of rotten flesh for the bug up first.

The @robzacny.bsky.social everywhere system at work.
November 27, 2025 at 11:17 PM
Adding some bits and bobs to the base. Gonna go for a bubbly swamp type of thing.
November 27, 2025 at 3:22 AM
Even my nurgle stuff comes out pretty bright lol.

And while I do really love bright pinks and purples I'm gonna try something new here.
November 27, 2025 at 12:37 AM
Well if I gotta go
November 27, 2025 at 12:27 AM
Been painting a lot of bright and poppy schemes lately. Gonna get grim, dark and grimy with this yucky fella.

Thank you! Feeling pretty jazzed by my last few projects now. If it weren't for this darn RSV I'd keep the momentum going.

Think I know what's next tho!

Stole the scheme from beautiful nature.

Finally got my hands on Hot Streak. This is a very fun and easy to play betting game that can be taught in under 5min.

I sold my copy of Camel Up to get this and imo I vastly prefer Hot Streak even tho they are quite similar in a lot of ways.
