What’s particularly irritating about this photo is that I can now clearly see, after having painted it, exactly where I haven’t properly cleaned the sprue connection point on Pipe Bug’s Big Hand.
Just two pals, pallin’ around.
Hey, look at me, un-abandoning a thing! I really like the dark desaturated purple and red I ended up with as a base on the big bug, so I’m glazing the same mix over the clashing too-vibrant versions here (while I remember what they are).
Imperceptible little increments.
Wonder Man is pretty great. I wish more of the Marvel stuff was that low-key.
Little boops of highlight on his mittens and spiky hat.
Can’t completely stay away from those reds I don’t see properly.
All that glorious skin, you tell yourself, all that expanse of carapace. But you forget the vents, dear reader, you forget that 70% of the surface area is tiny vents.
This sculpt could have been lifted straight out of the OG Space Hulk manual art 😍
“Sometimes” on the music box and a wall of rain outside.

Claude’s Corollary?
We appear to be entering an exact negative of the “given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow” era. Just needs a pithy name.
It’s not everyday that you can be the perpetrator, mocker and monkey puppet in your own story.
“The excitement of a half-century year-old man with his new dehumidifier”, he definitely said sarcastically (side-eye monkey dot gif).
Black-removal continues.
Working out where I’ll want the most saturated reds to go.
Deep, seasonal sleep drifting between the jumbled wrecks of nightmares at the bottom.
Chasing ‘green’.
Making a brief (?) step away from dwarf pal to give @Berit ‘s Zorn challenge a try. A greenskin with metal bits makes perfect sense for a palette without explicit green or metallics, right?
Am I broken?
