Mighty fine lad

Completed mini of Baharroth in a Magenta to yellow synthwave style. Some areas of blue can be found on cloth and the base. I am so damn proud of myself. Not only did I stick with it, the amount of detail I painted surpassed any past projects of mine. Easily one of the best minis I have ever painted.

DONE!
What a project. Seriously I think this is by far one of the best minis I have ever painted.
Learned a lot about blending and glad i spent the time on it.
Now I rest...lol

Dinosaurs have captured our imagination for centuries—but many of the people behind their discovery have been written out of the story. In 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 – 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝘿𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙨, Dr. Natalia Jagielska takes us on a lively journey through the hidden history of palaeontology. Expect tales that are equal parts ridiculous and remarkable: a young girl fossil-hunting with her dog on England’s coast, a resourceful housewife experimenting with prehistoric remains at home, and daring scientists uncovering Velociraptor skeletons while resisting Nazi forces in the desert. This talk reveals how women, often left out from official historical records, helped transform dinosaurs into icons of modern science. 👩🔬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: Dr. Jagielska is a Polish-born palaeontologist, award-winning artist, and former museum collections officer, now at CUHK researching the skin and fur of flying reptiles from the age of dinosaurs. 人們向來對已滅絕的恐龍充滿了幻想，但原來在發掘恐龍背後，有許多關鍵人物被歷史忽略了！來自生命科學學院的博士後研究員 Dr. Natalia JAGIELSKA 將主講一場別開生面的講座，題爲《Women in Science – The Invisible Women and Their Dinosaurs》。你將聽到一連串既難以置信又精彩的真實故事；一名少女與她的愛犬、一位非比尋常的家庭主婦以及對抗納粹的先驅者到底如何對古生物學作出重大貢獻？這場講座將揭示那些長期被忽視的女性，如何將恐龍塑造成現代科學的經典象徵。 👩🔬 講者簡介：Dr. Jagielska 為波蘭出生的古生物學家、得獎藝術家及影視恐龍顧問，曾任博物館館藏管理員，現於香港中文大學從事博士後研究，專注研究翼龍的皮膚與毛髮。 This talk is jointly organised by The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Science, Diversity and Inclusion Office, and Women Academics Sub-Committee. 此講座由香港中文大學的理學院、多元共融事務處以及女教員小組委員會共同舉辦。

Textbooks tend to say it's William Buckland or Robert T. Bakker, who made modern dinosaurs. But what if I told you, palaeoart started in South Africa, was revolutionised by Nazi-fighting Polish women and illustrated by an Oxfordian homemaker and her pet tortoise? Let's rewrite the history 👇

HOT! Glowing plasma coils made easy: painting the WARLORD TITAN YouTube video by Midwinter Minis

So am I lol
I mostly followed the Midwinter Minis steps. I think the bigger size was very helpful here, since it gives more space to work in.
I have a couple fluoro paints too, so a green-yellow for the brightest parts plus a darker blue for the tops gave me a result I liked.

They're 3D prints of models made by Smuggler Boutique, available on MyMiniFactory.

Two 3D printed miniature orcs sculpted by Smuggler Boutique. Each holds a wildly huge plasma gun that glows fiercely.

The same mini as in the original message (yucky boi traitor guard) but this time the sword has been painted with a blue lightning effect to make it look like it is a powered-up power sword. One might imagine Biff Tannen saying "McFly you bojo, those swords don't cut through steel!" And a henchman of his screeching "unless you have POWER!"

A shot of the same mini from the back, so we can once again see the cape and also the other side of the power sword.

Tfw you forget to add power to the power sword

A 3D printed miniature of a very yucky man for Warhammer 40K. He is dressed in cobbled-together armour with all sorts of pouches and straps. He is holding a plasma pistol in one hand and a sword in the other. He is painted in drab greys and reds, generally matching the feel of the enemies from the Warhammer: Darktide video game.

Rear view of the mini from the first pic, showing off his fancy (ragged) red cape. Capes being weirdly prevalent in the far future is one of the main selling points of Warhammer afaik.

Quick ~1 hour speed paint of a sergeant for my Blooded kill team.

A 3D printed ork "meganob" miniature for Warhammer 40K. It is a big green ork in a very silly set of cobbled-together armor.

Guttkrusha meganob by Smuggler Boutique. Imo, they're making the best orks for printing right now.

A full 3D printed Death Korps of Krieg kill team for Warhammer 40K. The minis are from Stationforge, and are just barely on this side of non-infringing official models. They have been painted on a scheme reminiscent of the Enforcers from Netflix's Arcane.

A 3D printed set of miniatures that can stand in for the upcoming Murderwing kill team for Warhammer 40K Kill Team. Instead of the dark-blue-and-lightning pattern of the Nightlords, these ones are painted like Alpha Legion marines. The minis are largely from DakkaDakka, with some extra bits.

Five 3D printed miniature Wood Elves from One Page Rules. They are painted with dull browns and greens generally, but their heads and hair are patterned after various flowers. The War Dancer with its owl-like headdress painted like a peony is a particular standout.

Some recent-ish minis.

This is all incredible. I'd be surprised if the "multiple David authors" wasn't fulfilled before the end of Feb.

Ahhhh Jay I love it! Such an amazing artist, and so great to work with. It's hanging on my wall already!

Any show I've watched from New Zealand have had at least a smattering of Māori in it, including light entertainment shows like Taskmaster. I would love to see both education in primary schools and mandates for government programming that provide even a small bit of the same over here.

Good news!

Drawing Heathcliff Comics Based On Their Captions YouTube video by Drawfee Show

Drawfee has also done a few Heathcliff episodes which include some of their thoughts on the bizarre appeal of the comic youtu.be/TvnOjfpXQJg?...

Unrepentant, Or: How To Read Heathcliff - SOLRAD We're kicking off Heathcliff week with an essay/feature/interview with SOLRAD contributor and cartoonist Andrew Neal - enjoy!

TL;DR (for me) is that Heathcliff can be ready as surrealist anti-humour, which makes it more interesting than wondering like Garfield which I find to be bad humour, or maybe un-humour. I first started appreciating Heathcliff when I read the SOLRAD pieces on it solrad.co/unrepentant-...

A squad of ten miniature 3d printed orks, suitable for a friendly game of Warhammer or something similar. They are each dressed up to look like a different class from Team Fortress 2. All of them have clothing in shades of red except for one blue spy mini that is wearing a paper mask with a poorly painted red team soldier's face on it.

TF2 Orks (3d printed models from Stationforge) were super quick to paint and so much fun. I had to use one extra soldier to make a squad of ten, but they're all good upstanding members of the Red team.

I was pretty sure I knew what the moon rocks thing was about.
Google "Thad Roberts" if you can't wait for the SciShow telling.

Wow it's John Warhammer

When I first started writing novels, I had a notion that one if the things that made badness in the world was “professionalisation”. By which I meant that many entities had a kind of fuzzy cloud of functions in the world beyond their pure ostensible function.

A screenshot of the Wikipedia page for Edward Drinker Cope, one of the main antagonists in the paleontological "Bone Wars". His date of death (April 12th 1897) is highlighted.

128 years ago today

rest in piss, idiot

Paleontologists will be like "big news!" and then you read the paper and it turns out dinosaurs had slightly larger cheeks than we thought.
(Big fan of Holtz, and this is a neat paper)

Also the stairs are inconsistently spaced, following a weird S-curve that looks awful to try to use.
