Each semester we do a timed exercise. Students receive incomplete concept art, and have 8 hours to take it as far as they can, with an eye for form. Keeping with Shaun's no AI Twitter scraping, I am posting the work over here. @machinefun.bsky.social @mooneysart.bsky.social

Melee done. 3 Broods, 15 Warriors total. Now to get them primed. When I built my Primes I wanted them to be mini Tyrants. I added ankle claws to show the connection. Little conversions like these really make an army unique. #warhammer40000 #tyranids

Getting some work done on individual miniatures now. Built the squad last summer, painting them now. Not going to win any awards, but it's fun. Lots of custom printed parts here. #warhammer40k

Tournament Buildings done. They're not going to win me painting awards, but it beats the hell out of MDF wood color. I need to finish up the scatter terrain, then I'll truly be finished. It's been a rewarding project, and I've never completed a good set of terrain before. #warlayer #wh40k

#lazarus It's got pedigree but the limited number of episodes hurt its impact. It felt like they wrapped up with the intent we now have the teams backstory, let's tell the actual story. Like a really long setup for a show we don't have yet. Good music and fights. Needed more time.

6x4 under 2" scatter terrain. I made 6 of them, for some variety. One step closer to the 2025 Tournament Table. #warhammer40k #terrain

Terrain is getting built. Test color scheme. I wanted something not grey, so it stands out. The interior will be grey, so color outside, grey inside. Easy to tell what you're looking at. No wash here, just a base coat. It will get washed and a light dry brush. #warlayer #wh40k

After waiting 30 years, we finally have plastic Noise Marines! This kit is great! I don't need an entire force, this squad finishes the squads aligned to the major #chaosgods Plague Marines Khorne Berserkers Rubric Marines #NoiseMarines

Do you like design, are you in love with cassette futurism? Support this man! I need this book.

I'm trying a more motion graphics approach to presentation shots. If the goal is attention does this work better than a still? #3d #GameArt #GameReady #Stylized

10 day count down. WarLayer: Titanic Terrain We just unlocked a whole new series of walls, so the part count just got nuts. If you play in the Grim Dark Future this set is a must have. Head over to Kickstarter, search for the above. I need more filament. #warlayer #3dprinting #terrain #gothic

Finally got the Brutalis built. Come at me bro! Talons have a better profile, but I can't let wrist mounted boltrifles go, to cool. Used Storm Shields on the shoulder armor, both sides. He still needs purity seals applied. Here he is with his brothers.

Company Heros (Repurposed) Built a companion Lt. to go with the squad. Waiting on eBay for the Ancient, he'll get here Monday. Then Veteran Eradicators, I use no helmet heads on my Gravis Vets. Hoping to prime this group Sunday.

AC Data Book, another added to the collection. The design language of this series has left an indelible mark on my mech preferences. I might finally stop looking for AC art books. Share your collection, I'd love to see what you've got. #armoredcore #fromsoft

60 degrees, in Michigan, in March! You bet I'm priming. End of the week, I'm plowing through my build backlog. The Emperor Protects. #wh40k #warhammer #ultramarines

If you wargame in the grimdark future, have a 3d printer, and are looking for awesome terrain check out this Kickstarter. Andrew is the GOAT with many successful campaigns behind him. I've printed his terrain, its no joke. www.kickstarter.com/projects/war... #warlayer #terrain #wargaming

Gearheads If you were to build this out as a Game Ready asset, what are some of the constraints or techniques you would use. Assume bespoke unit, no customization. Baking Workflow vs FWN ? Texture set per location, with mirroring? #gameart #mecha #3dart #lowpoly #robot #gameready

What's cooler than a Helbrute? How about 3 of them. Pack complete. Each will have a god aligned squad to support. Meta busting, nope. Cool, yep.

#alphalegion Now for something completely different. Just banged out the Dark Apostle. He's got two subtle conversions. Head swap, cake. I like helmets on Heretics. Second cursed crozius head from the Apostle from the Dark Vengeance box set. I Am Alpharius!

#Phobos 1775pt's Vanguard Spearhead All but 10 scouts have the Phobos keyword. Still need to base and prime the new recruits, it's winter here so that will wait. I'm a narrative player, not a winning player. I love the idea of this force but have no delusions it will win.

Hulu finally has #Macross. USA waited months while other regions got it. I've noticed some things. Zero seems to be a lower bit rate, or a bad transfer. Plus (OVA) was not subtitled at all, just raw Japanese. Delta was crystal clear and well subbed. Anyone know what's up?

Finished two squads of Reivers. 1 Melee with grapnel launchers. 1 Bolter Carbine with Grav-shutes. Both led by Lieutenants. It's not an optimal build, but it is thematic as hell. Vanguard Spearhead #warhammer40k

#warhammer #phobos Working on finishing my 2000 pt Vanguard Detachment (Phobos Themed) The scouts tower over their firstborn kin, kind of comical. I'm getting the last of some Reivers this weekend. Then another Incursur squad and we're their.

#starcom Forgotten 80’s cartoon, had a huge impact on my interests growing up. The toys were awesome, the message was kind of GIJoe in space. I loved that they were different branches of the service working together in space. Look at that toy, it's got little figures that dock on the wings!

Go, Go Christmas! I've lived long enough, I don't need more "stuff." If a gift is just to check a box, don't buy it. My family understands this. Few presents, all bangers! I'll be going over this book for years. #macross #shojikawamori

Gundam Christmas. We have options. UC era? AC era? What are your thoughts?

Armored Core: Asset Management Director: Dave Wilson Animation: Digic The one I was worried about. Keanu did fine. Human+, also seeing a pilot not just hearing them. Arm Shields are back baby! Loved it. #SecretLevel #AC6 #ArmoredCore

Warhammer 40,000: And They Shall Know No Fear Director: Dave Wilson Animation: Blur Studio I doubt this will be anyone's introduction to 40k, so all the pearl clutching can hang. It's bolter porn with demon sauce at the end. It looks glorious! Astartes doing the work. #SecretLevel #Warhammer

Unreal Tournament: Xan Director: Frank Balson Animation: Blur Studio Loved it. The guns felt so good. I laughed when the announcer spoke, "Head Shot" indeed! Complete nostalgia sauce. Blur animations are always incredible, this was on fire. #SecretLevel #BlurStudio

I got on this in early access over a year ago. This team has done a ton of work! If you dig mechs, and like VR get this game. 10/10 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWHY... #VR #IronRebellion #mech #mecha

Sunrise is really going hard into new and fresh takes on the #Gundam franchise. Each out the last AU I've quite enjoyed. Good luck with this new venture! www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-12...

Agreed. At the time this film divided the fan base. It's very different in tone and feel from the series. They kept the ingredients, setting, characters but cooked an entirely different story. I loved every frame. Hitomi's depression feels real in the movie, in a way the series never did. A+ film

#DanDaDan Merge! Serpo Demon Nessie This show is insane, fresh, different, odd and irreverent. I would normally not go in for this level of crazy but it works here. It's well done, acting, action, writing. If you've not, give it a shot. I look forward to each episode each week.

Share an Anime you love.

Bandai why you hate grunts? G-Witch has some rocking suits. Cargore - no where to be seen. Desultor - finally coming, but #pbandai is a nightmare outside Japan. I can get 10 GM's from the UC, but you're gatekeeping my AU grunts?!? figsoku.net/blog-entry-4...

#Arcane series finale. No one has plot armor. Stakes are high, people die. This is life. I truly love this show. Anyone that likes animation should watch it. Please release this on physical media. It should be preserved.

#arcane season 2 Solid performance throughout. Excellent art, the song selection is incredible. Animation and story are peak. I don't know league, but I love these characters. Thank you to all the artists who created this series.

#arcane season 2 Continuing the tradition of amazing beauty, wonderful animation, and great acting. The story is tight, the plot exciting, and all the characters are hitting their beats. It's a fun ride. If you've not, go see it.

I want to migrate over here. One of my reservations is the number of Japanese hobby accounts I follow on Twitter. Most are not over here. I see way more scratch builds, custom prints and general amazing kit builds on Twitter. Is it just me or have they, kit builders, not come over?

Inaugural post. I recently downsized my hobby space, from a room to a desk. After some adjusting I've got the brood built. These new sculpts are great! Really sells the Genestealer vibe. Had to go Cthulhu head, classic. Now they need a leader.
