My daughter came home from the library with this. It's a graphic novel, and I had no idea such a thing existed, but I'm so so happy it does!
(Have I mentioned how much I love the Muppets? I feel like it comes up every year when we watch Muppet Christmas Carol)
(The continued success of something as funny and kind hearted as the Muppets gives me hope for humanity)

So after literally decades of hearing how influential Husker Du's Zen Arcade was, I finally gave it a listen and... uh wow. You can hear the bones of every punk adjacent band from the last forty years in here. Huh. Go figure.

Necromantic Horror turn marker for the upcoming blood bowl season. Basically done, although I might give it a few touches of highlights still.
But mostly I just love this raven, it's great. Have I mentioned I have a bird problem.

Did I mention we got a new kitten? She's currently acclimating to the house in the guest room. Coming into a new place with another cat, two dogs, and a kid can be a bit overwhelming! She's a love though.

Somehow got back in the bad habit of pulling up twitter during the workday for a quick hit of algorithmic dopamine. It's taken me several days to notice the correlation between that and much less stability in my mental state. Time to block the site.
Aside: I wonder if there is a connection between neurodiversity and addiction?

I got it in my head a few days ago that I should make a coach for my necromantic horror team, so naturally, instead of working on the actual players, piecing together the coach has become the focus of the project. League is still a week or two away...
Does he need a clipboard? I think he needs a clipboard

This, by the way, is why you need to run an initial roster without the flesh golems

My brain hasn't been super (it's improving with some exercise though), but I have been making some slow and steady progress on the blood bowl team for upcoming league.
More importantly, however, I've discovered that the two werewolves look like they're doing the hardcore hand clasp thing

Playing around, building a 1m roster for gnomes. You are able to max out every positional, take five lineman and also take FIVE rerolls??
I know that most of the team is made of paper so realistically you'll probably want some backup cash to buy replacements in league play... BUT still that's so many rerolls!
I may be biased since recently I've been trying to build necromantic horror where you're all but forced to forgo one position and you still only get three rerolls!
Caveat: I am not a strategic mastermind by and stretch 🫠

I don't know almost anything about the band that played "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" (like even the name of the band), but I bet seeing them play it live is just a good ass time. You know everyone goes fuckin nuts

Is a zenithal always necessary? Probably not. Is it just fun to do and look at? Hell yeah it is

Found some time to sketch some different shades of yellow on this squig friend and it's not quite working how I want. The temperature of the yellows I think is too far apart, they just sort of look wrong together.
Maybe some kind of dark red or brown undercoat before the yellow, or more all over with the darkest yellow... I dunno.
Things have been a bit busy and it makes it hard to make the proper mental space for painting.

Subassemblies: will they help or just make the process harder than it needs to be - tale as old as time.
Very similar to the "now you have two problems" regular expression thingy

@npub1nxu…4hun when I played I was thinking of the werewolf as a ball carrier but as the game went on it became apparent he is more of a can opener

Hobby updates...
Almost done printing a very large Alucard model that I'm quite excited to paint! Possibly the largest scale I've done (besides the nutcrackers, if you've been playing along). Such a fun character, if not the most compelling anime series.
Also the Necromantic Horrors are coming along slowly but surely! I played a game with them last weekend and I think once I get the hang they'll be fun to play.

@npub1um7…2mt3 I was going fish since the title of the mini is The Fisher King plus he's got some scales... on the other hand he DOES have hands 🤔

@npub1sk4…d83s realized I always "ok!" right before I stand up for our lunchtime walk because when I accidentally say it at different times the dogs look so heartbroken

The NMM will continue until the vibes are correct!
These boots are taking forever, there are so many nooks and crannies, and an arm bracer (?) to go as well. Doesn't help that I am also slow 😆. Today is the first day I've had time to add more paint in a lil.
