Thanks, they're definitely some of my favorite colors.

Vance is a little piss baby but there ain't nothing wrong with a man wearing eyeliner.

Nice, that's a lotta detail in such a short time.I'm certainly much slower 😅

Yes that is the case. Sorry for the confusion 😵‍💫

I think it was on myminifactory.

Yes I 3d printed a skull in resin and mounted it to the plywood board.

This is the way. One additional step I do for enterprise software is test driven development. That way when you refactor your code into something better, you still have tests in place to verify that the code actually works.

Shadowverse: evolve is pretty fun though no one plays it and good luck finding cards.

And if you do, its just paint. You can always try again 🙂

This is a great concept. In excited to see more!!

Nice progress!!

Awesome stuff. The Liber Daemonica bits are great! I used them for my BA dreadnaught.!

BA dreadnaught

Oh, ive been wanting to jam this sooo bad.

Ya several of the Forged in the Dark games change the way these mechanics work. They're great fun still.

This is my favorite color scheme on custodes. Great work!

Heck ya, these are great :)

Combat felt a bit clunky until we starred treating it more as roleplay and less as "DND combat." Overall, the mechanics encouraged interparty role play which was sooo much fun. I'd highly recommend it

Ive run a few gumshoe games. They are great, but did require a lot of planning on my part.

We just wrapped up an avatar game. It has some oddities but overall really fun!

The gold is quite striking. Well done!

Ty, thats my favorite part!

Haha, you're right. Its a very funny angle.

After the main values were blocked in I erased lines with erasers. Then just back and forth between adding charcoal and erasing to get the right values/textures.

Sure I'll post some other drawings eventally. I use a kneeded eraser, an abrasive eraser, a compressed and soft charcoal and a blending stick.

Ty, I worked hard to get all those hairs in there.

Haha I do love the angle. Its so derpy.

It takes a while to get to know the tools and paints, so don't be too hard on yourself. Most people have difficulty picking colors when first starting. That said here are a few tips:

• color theory is going to be your friend. Read an article or watch a video on it. When starting out and owning fewer paints you can mix colors to get the color you want. For example, mix blue + yellow to get green. Mix Red + Purple to get magenta.
• look up a picture of a color wheel, and the idea of complementary, analogous etc colors. This can help you pick colors that work well together.
• look at art or miniatures that you like the look of and steal/copy from them. This will let you focus on the execution without worrying if the idea is good
• make mistakes! I still pick bad colors or mess up after 9 years. Try not to get discouraged from failure.

Lastly, not all projects need to be finished to the same standard. Don't be afraid to put something aside you're just not having fun with.

These are sweet. Are they a 3d print?

Neat, I'll have to look into Beam Saber as well!

I haven't played it yet but Girl by Moonlight is a forged in the dark game that has a space-mecha setting. Could be worth checking out.

Blades is excellent. Would highly recommend.

Started the year off GMing the Gumshoe Yellow King RPG. It definitely takes more prep than other games I'm used to but is thematic and a great horror experience.

Our group then switched to the Avatar RPG, which has been an absolute blast. I've been playing a firebender in the Aang era. We're currently on our second season.

In between the Avatar game when scheduling falls through I've been GMing Blades in the Dark, which has been one of the most rewarding and exciting games I've played.

Our group mostly plays weekly and we've been together for 6ish years mostly playing D&D.

My parents would always buy my an ornament related to my interests for Christmas. I was really into LoTR and my mom couldn't find an ornament so she decided to make one herself. She purchased a metal Nazgul on horse from GW. I was enthralled by the miniature, and my wargaming hobby was started.

No diagnosis for it, but who knows 🤷

Age of Empires 2 on my parent's crappy old laptop.

As someone who is not autistic and seeing posts like these on the main page several times, I would be stoked for someone to bring topics like this up in conversation instead of the normal boring small talk.

Thanks for the overview! I definitely need to go read it now.

My friends and I have been jamming 4p co-op and have been having a blast. There are definitely some bugs we've encountered around having multiple conversations going at once but nothing major. I highly recommend it.
