I just said this to a friend, but I want all artists to know this:
"Your art will always be good. It's not slop! It's made with love and care. That speaks volumes! Doesn't matter if it's not "professional" quality. What matters is that you made it. That's what makes it really good."
Keep drawing!
Be Drunk Charles Baudelaire 1821 - 1867 You have to be always drunk. That's all there is to it -it's the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk. But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk. And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again, drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing, everything that is speaking ... ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: "It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish."
I’ve woken up at 3.05, or is it 2.O5? Or perhaps 1.05?
If you are not sure what time it is, always take the advice of Charles Baudelaire and ask the
“wind, wave, star, bird, clock” and they will tell you it is time to get drunk… but I might just have a nice cup of horlicks, instead.
Here I Love You Here I love you In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself. The moon glows like phosphorus on the vagrant waters. Days, all one kind, go chasing each other. The snow unfurls in dancing figures. A silver gull slips down from the west. Sometimes a sail. High, high stars. Oh the black cross of a ship. Alone. Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet. Far away the sea sounds and resounds. This is a port. Here I love you. Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain. I love you still among these cold things. Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels that cross the sea towards no arrival. I see myself forgotten like those old anchors. The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there. My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose. I love what I do not have. You are so far. My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights. But night comes and starts to sing to me. The moon turns its clockwork dream. The biggest stars look at me with your eyes. And as I love you, the pines in the wind want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.
Here I Love You

The game where you play as a Mongolian horseback courier is out today!? I think more than a few folks might be interested in that giveaway. Otherwise, here's the Steam page:
The iconic comic panel "cow tools" in which a cow is standing upright in front of a table on which are several misshapen weird objects that may loosely resemble things like a hoe or a saw but are wrong and weirdly organic.

Ty. Trying to find a good middle ground where I can paint these reasonably fast but have them still look alright. :)
Five clanrat miniatures stuck to wooden handles for painting. They have been painted in a green and dull pinkish colour scheme. Two of them are wearing armour that is bright red.
5 more clanrats done, like 25 or so to go. #warhammer #aos #nerdlings
Instead of watching, well, whatever in particular... Might I suggest you all go watch my video essay about a cool videogame I really liked? And tell everyone else to watch it. Sorry I don't have my new video ready yet, but this one's real good.
Skink starpriest miniature with blue scales and yellow and green feather-decor is standing on the painting table elevated on a little wooden cylinder for better handling. His eyes are yellowish orange and his staff is green and golden. Skulls rest on the base underneath him where he stands on some elaborately carved rock debris.
Seen from behind the priest is wearing a dagger on a piece of string strung around his hips. His back plates are purplish and there is white spots and stars adorning is back.
Yet another angle on the skink priest. He’s reaching a claw out towards the camera and one can see the staff clearly adorned with a snake motif and a skull stuck on one of the spikes on top.
Little skink starpriest was a birthday present I received last year. Finished in time well before April 😁 Only gonna touch up the base a little bit. #warhammer #aos #nerdlings
Bill Bramhall cartoon.
Diaspora I'd say. Tbh this was not the most confused part of her statement. Baffling.
Zitatkachel von Jatin Malik: The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible
Ah, die rationalste Wirtschaftsform
A stormcast eternals prosecutor Mini holding a spear. The armour is black and gold while his wing trails and top of the spear are a kind of magenta. The shield is supposed to be a darker purple-red and gold but in this photo it appears kinda pink too. The winged soldier is jumping off a broken doorframe that’s embedded in the ground in between rocks and grass. There’s some pink and purple flower patches too.
Another angle of the prosecutor with the grass and moss on the base appearing aggressively green, I swear the colours are more muted in person.
A closer look at the mini’s spear tip. Non metallic metal was attempted but the picture is regrettably a bit blurry.
Finished up one of the prosecutors that we got with the starter box like a year ago? Decided that I want to paint the rest of the spearhead up as Anvils of the Heldenhammer. Photos kinda don’t do him justice tho. #warhammer #aos #nerdlings
A group of emperors children minis all with a white basecoat. They all have purplish-black bases that are painted as if cracked or streaked with lightning. There’s 12 noise marines in the back with a lord cacophonist, 10 infractors, 10 tormentors and a lord exultant. A fully painted classic noise marine is hanging out in the back row too.
A harlequin troupe and solitaire all stuck to bases that are painted to resemble shiny marble. The minis are primed black, the marble is white with veins of dark grey, greenish tones and sporadic flecks of gold.
Spent a bit of time making bases for these. Hopefully with them fully prepared for painting I will get them done sometime this year. 😅
This reminds me of Vonnegut
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

A spearhead game set up on a tabletop. It’s the sand and bones setup with the little metal fences and spooky walls. Some sturdy ossiarch bonereapers are facing down a group of kharadron overlords that trespassed into their domain.
Played a small game of Spearhead today. Turns out we forget about how anything works between games but it was still fun. My partner fielded his new ossiarch bone reaper Mortisan Elites against my son‘s Kharadron Overlords. #warhammer #aos
A miniature of a man in armour. A heavy cloak is wrapped around his shoulder plates. It’s billowing out to the side dark purple on top and a creme colour on the inside. His armour is black and golden, his eyes glowing blue. He’s holding a halberd mirroring the colours of his armour.
A stormcast eternal from one of those „warhammer heroes“ blindboxes. As something not belonging to my army projects I love to try out color schemes on them.
It was, people were really nice and of course the minis came out a bit differently to when you paint without a time limit and with your own brushes and stuff but I like how everyone did their best even if you had no idea what you'd end up with in the end. :)
A stormcast eternal and a space marine mini standing side by side. The stormcast has a somewhat haphazard looking yellow armour with some silver and a Red Cross on the flat underside of his hammer. His eyes are red too. The space marine ended up with a bronze and red armour with a silver symbol on the front and blue eyes. Both rims on the mini-bases are painted black and have golden writing on them stating „paint roulette 31.01.26“
Our warhammer store did a „paint roulette“-event today where we got to paint minis collaboratively (5 minutes then switching minis around). Got to take these two home and only did the rim on them to remember how these happened. 😅
Six warplock jezzail miniatures from Warhammer Age of Sigmar seen from a slightly above angle on a white paper towel. Their weapons are bronze and they are clad in green and muted purple tones. They stand on a muddy ground with some friendly green tufts of grass on the bases.
Another slightly different angle on the jezzails on the paper towel. It’s two rats on each elongated oval base, the one in the back holding a ridiculously long rifle with e thin bronze barrel resting on the wood and metal shield the front rat is propping up for that purpose. Each front rat is holding a short sword to defend against potential attackers who make it into melee.
Yet once more the same rats, just slightly different angle without the paper towel. The tabletop underneath is brown and looks slightly smudged. In the background a closed wet palette can be seen.
Finally put the finishing touches on the 6 Jezzails I’ve been painting. Think they came out nice. Pity there’s 3 more and a whole bunch of clanrats and other stuff to go before I can call that army finished but I’m determined. 😅 #warhammer #aos #nerdlings
Hi new folks, lemme self promote a little, I have a steam curator page where I recommend games I like! I hear people say I'm one of the better curators out there: store.steampowered.com/curator/2834...

“Paradise Logic” by Sophie Kemp is a trip. Quite enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone who ever tried finding love and purpose in relationship with men.
Look inside a half built Chaos Rhino from above. The insides look somewhat metallic with some darker pink door and shelf. On the shelf is a pink and black gun and some syringes. The door leading to the drivers area has a screaming pink face bulging out of the metal or grafted to it. A second gun hangs on the wall under some colorful radar monitors and buttons. It is also pink and has some leopard print painted on. The step to the door on the side of the vehicle has a yellow and black striped warning pattern. Mind the step.
Another look at the insides of this vehicle while the top isn’t yet installed. The open back ramp of the vehicle will stay movable and be the only way to look inside. This time the right inside wall can be seen. There is a golden symbol of the disgraced emperors children legion installed on the wall. It’s a stylised eagle. The shelf under it is empty.
Painted the insides of the Rhino a bit more. Love how this will be mostly invisible when the whole thing is done. 😅 #warhammer #miniatures
