Buttercup was being very sneaky and observing me when I was eating at the desk.

No regrets after being sent to youtube shadowrealm after calling a self proclaimed vampire landlord that's running for mayor in Arkansas a scumbag for using genai to make the shittiest campaign shirts and then asking if he needed grok to sleep with his wife. I am on the correct side of history.

A few of these are on to their new homes. Some are still available.

New motherboard is estimated to arrive on Saturday. With any luck I might be back up and running the beginning of next week.

I'll never question myself gifting someone a 3d print I modeled on my own that wasn't specifically made for them after seeing Macaulay Culkin ai generate Seth Green and Vince McMahon as a present ever again. Fuck him for doing that.

Buttercup got some special wet food yesterday because he's a good boy.

👏NEW LISTINGS👏 My new little figures are listed and available now. Depending on the state of my computer this might be the only run of these specific designs. Direct links to follow.

Okay I kind of loved Return to Silent Hill because it's dog shit bad, but this is an amazing fluff piece article posted on a site that was a goddamn producer of the movie and that's very funny. bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...

The sweet boy facts: He loves Greenies Will play fetch with mouse toys Has been found with his butt sticking out of Taco Bell bags

Feeling more positive about the computer situation. New motherboard ordered, I think my coworkers at the dayjob are going to help me get it installed, and what I'm reading is my hard drives will most likely be fine. Can't really 3d print anything until then, so I've adjusted inventory.

My boy is being very sweet right now.

Looks like the motherboard died on my computer. Trying to get it up and running as soon as I can. May need to pause my etsy shop if I can't print any orders I need to fulfill. This sucks.

Ash figures are done! Alan figures just need clear coated, and the Heather figures have a little bit of painting to go.

Figures almost there. New airbrush is coming in today so going to test it out on Heather later and paint all the hands at once.

I can't stop thinking about Return to Silent Hill and how baffling bad of an adaptation it was. I need like minded people that acknowledge it's trash but had a blast laughing at it to talk to.

So still need to paint all their hands. Also going to a tabletop game shop tomorrow to pick up some gray for Ash's sideburns, maybe a new red for blood splatter, and an orange for the Heather figures. Hoping to get these listed over the weekend.

Slowly but surely getting back to the art grind. Part of that is also getting my area cleaned up since I finally broke down and bought a little airbrush spray booth.

Getting there!

Painting the new figures when I have the time. Hoping to get them listed this weekend or shortly after.

Buttercup is very good at taking naps.

Wow how did no one guess Heather from Silent Hill 3 don't check trust me.

Planning another figure. Any guesses?

Resin coat still curing on the Ash heads but I'm very delighted with how this is turning out.

Painting the Ash bodies going well.

One last update for the night. Going to coat the heads in resin in the morning, but honestly these look like they'll take pretty minimal post processing paint.

Sweet boy Buttercup has been very cuddly lately.

Watching Nobody 2 on Peacock and the audio is abysmally quiet and the picture quality goes blurry every few seconds if not just buffering. Man streaming is so cool dude.

January was a weird month, man. The positive was I finally took a much needed vacation and got a lot of rest. Negatives were I entered the month with a sinus cold, etsy sales slowed way down along with my work output so way less money, and my oldest cat Black Kitty passing away. Maybe Feb better?

Pretty happy with this so far. Might redo the hair a touch, only part I'm not wild about.

Heard you got snacks.

Highly suggest not only abstaining from watching the Royal Rumble but going a step further and never watching WWE again. They're a vile and evil company.

Here's the difference between no adjustment in variable layer height and using it. It does about double the printing time, but I feel it ultimately saves in post processing.

Test print on Ash. Gonna make some adjustments

Please enjoy my little Ash man.

Lol get fucked.

For the best results on the figure heads I ended up splitting them in half, printing separately (takes 10 hours to do 8) and I've been experimenting with coating them in a thin layer of clear resin to hide the layer lines.

Round guy!

It's biscuit time.

Ugh, so I tried brushing on a clear coat for the new Alan figures and the black paint was pulling off and staining the faces. If it wasn't so cold out I'd just spray it with a rattle can. Ordered a little spray booth so these won't go into the shop for at least a week.

Was reminded of the time a thumbnail I did had a couple people in the comments asking if it was ai. Thankfully for most of my work I take several progress screenshots. Also just fun to see where I change my mind from sketch to lineart.

New reason to dislike Aranofsky dropped.

Working on a Little People Ash. No ai being used, that's for dumb babies.

Fuck it, my ongoing thoughts on the novelization. James does not smoke a joint like in the movie, just a cigarette, but it does take the time to mention his uncle Frank getting stage 4 lung cancer. This is page 2 of the story.

Little Alan just needs a clear coat. I want to do a couple other characters before amy listings go live.

I live here now.

Last night Buttercup was looking for mouse toys in the corner. There were none there.

Just me waking up at 5am and painting some more of the Alan Wake figures. Still have to finish those Ash figures in the back.
