Forgot that I painted these and never finished them. They had been lost for a bit.

Stitched pet handler.

Druid Werewolf.

I have finished so many this past week.

The newest painted minis, the dragon for one of my friends and the caster for my own collection. Never thought about a dragon of three different types.... green, bronze, and emerald, I did my best on that. I think it works.

Another one finished. Love how it turned out. Has a nice creepy facture to it. #miniature

I have finished a couple more minis. I am very happy with both.

Vampire lord with bat wings.

It is one of the most interesting and somewhat complicated paintings I have done in a bit. I really like it.

What is going on anymore? When will all this stop? Why are these things happening, and nothing is stopping it? At what point is this stopped by those we have elected? At what point do we change the system completely and start anew?

Scrolling through social media, all I can think about is one of Malcolm X's speeches, The Ballet or The Bullet. It fits in today's America. Instead of being pissed at the Democrats, be pissed all the Republicans have become so much worse. I can't stand this anymore.

Female hobgoblin sitting on a large weapon waiting for their next fight.

I have had the kitbash on @heroforgeminis.bsky.social for a bit. I am just now getting it.

Yellow tee shirt with a block printing of a scarecrow and two ravens.

Made my first large block printing, I really love the faded look to it. It turned out really nice. I have not done this since I was in high school.

So, if you can't recall how old you are (not due to memory loss), do birthdays even matter anymore? I just stopped caring about how old I am, I just try to live every day to the best of my abilities. Nothing more, nothing less.

In the time that we live now, the developments and achievements we have accomplished. Why is it so much easier hate than love each other. Why is it so much easier to fall back into the beliefs that we had before the knowledge we have now? We should continue to improve, not fall behind.

I'm watching Deep Space Nine with the wife, and I mention in one episode that Quark reminds me of Trump. She laughed and told me that he was per the creator. He is looking for more money, selling out when need be, and trying to get with all the women.... just wow, it is so on point.

I feel we should be able to terminate the employment of political offices if they can not do their job. That right should not fall on their friends in political positions as well. Just my thoughts, though, with how things are set up, do we even vote them in to begin with? The system is broken.

A tiny stone elemental familiar. Not one of my normal go-tos for minis, though not too bad. It was fun to paint. Added one with some older minis I painted, and for size reference.

I took some time for myself. It was needed. I really love how this one turned out.

I love my short rough doodles.

The weather finally cooled down here yesterday. The heat still did a massive number on me, though. I miss living in the northern states.

It is so hot, I think I am about to be more like my doodle every day. Just a dried up skeleton.

Anxiety is up.
Lack of sleep, due to anxiety.
Get to play with sharp things.
It will be an interesting day.

One of the side projects I was working on instead of painting. I do not like it..... I wish I was not so critical of myself. Though I have been told others like it.

All minis painted, took a bit of a break before painting the last one.

Last year, I lost the mother of my child. We had been divorced for many years, and while suffering from the abuse of another, she chose to end her life. It has weight heavily on myself and our child. If you are ever in a dark place, please reach out and ask for help. You matter to others.
