Just noticed that the knuckles on both of my hands are grazed and I’ve no memory of banging them against anything.
That’s totally normal, right?
Obligatory wig-mount shot.
At some point I really need to work out what I’m doing for hands. Those in the set both have weapons, but I’d rather he was just clenching his fists while screaming into the unseen, like the rest of us. I’ll have to see what options I have that are 3D-printable.
Removing the last of the bare primer layer as I try to avoid thinking about axe and tattoo progression.
Apparently Spike from Gremlins wasn’t called Spike.
This has been a confusing way to end the day.
… with a surprising level of birdsong still audible from my hedges.
‘Is that a truck idling outside?’ levels of rainfall.
A strange-feeling day. Like it wants to change around you somehow but you’ve no fear of it doing so.
I’ve starting sneezing. This is it, my body is breaking down, no longer capable of life under Earth’s menacing local star.
This is the first sunny day of the year so far and my body is rejecting the light as inappropriate.
Seasonal jetlag.
A little bit more axe wrangling, trying to get the big blocks in place on the upper and lower blades. Definitely needs a good old scuffing and weathering pass.
Immediately sidetracked by non-metallic metal. The eventual headstone of every mini-painter.
Finally starting into a slow expansion of the tattoo. This is going to take a billion years.
Starting to sketch out what a full-sleeve tattoo might look like for a fantasy dorf. Ever get the feeling you’ve bitten off absurdly more than you can chew?
Why yes, I did just add a massively passive-agressive self-shaming /now page to my blog, thank you for asking.
Beefy boi.
Starting on the shadow-side arm fleshtones.
Aside: I will always attempt skin ‘from black’ in the future. If you build up in thin layers you get such a developing sense of translucency for free.
A further ‘drama’ pass on the hair.
Hairdressing intensifies
Look at this absolute shambles of a workspace. Very much reflecting the mind behind it.
