Orc bases and flesh

Coffee Cup Part 1

Pre-shading the 3D-printed coffee cup energy counter for Monster Friends. Stabbed an old X-Acto blade into the base, hit it with diorama thick mud, and worked a fast zenithal up from the bottom.

Spicing up some relic blade tokens.

Finishing the Relic Blade cardboard tokens with a black paint marker around the edges and a dome of Mod Podge Dimensional Magic on each face.

One of my new favorites.

Just finished David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus and it's an instant favorite. Going back through it now with a chapter-by-chapter read-along and literary analysis.

Taking a look at Inquisitor Kroyle

Quick unboxing of the Inquisitor Kroyle sprue from a kit-bashing perspective, plus action-figure prop counters for Monster Friends and a stack of Ex Obscuris appliance prints.

Super fast OSL

Quick airbrush OSL pass on yesterday's model: Warlord Purple, Squid Pink, and a watered-down white blend wet-on-wet. Two minutes, first finished model of 2026.

Another easy way to paint faces

Yesterday's face was underpaint and glaze. Today's face is Sunny Skin Tone, one Army Painter Dark Tone wash, and a couple of dots for eyes — about ten minutes start to finish.

How to speed paint faces

Speed-painting an uncanny vampire face for tabletop: Sunny Skin Tone sketched over a Bad Bruise undertone, one watered-down glaze to blend it together, and dot eyes for the creepy stare.

I can paint and ramble again.

Back from a long illness and back behind the brush. Where the Infinity commission stands, why airbrushing single models isn't worth it, and the math that makes paint commissions barely worth doing.

Kal Arath Episode 4

Storm finally breaks. A hidden shrine reveals a rival cult, an angry giant ambushes the campfire, and the battle barge wreckage turns up at last.

Wanted! Reward: CC 10000 Appliances on the Print Bed

3D printed some appliances from Ex Obscuris' Wanted! Reward: CC 10000 Appliance Pack. Planning to copy the artist's Miller High Life-style paint scheme.

Looting the cultists, getting attacked by six wolves at night, and using Castle Grief's Twin Sun Sutra cult generator to find out exactly which sect we just pissed off.
