#honbystreak day 10. Little bits tonight. Horse lenses, Imperialis badges, few minor touches. Tomorrow I want to do the power sword and then I need to base the squad.

#hobbystreak day 9. So. My death rider fell apart when I went to pick it up tonight and I have spent tonight reassembling it. I also built this guy while I waited though.

Mmmm new book day. As soon as I finish The Left Hand of Darkness I'll be tearing into these.

#hobbystreak day 8. I do rather enjoy painting the skull masks

#hobbystreak day 7, black ink over gray on the armor

#hobbystreak day 6 My lovely "horse" running through minefields, where are you going with your dewclaws glinting in the sun...

#hobbystreak day 5 and I forgot that I usually do a layer of brown under the orange so this one is going to be a lot brighter than my other tiger-horses. Let's see if it works out.

#hobbystreak day 4 Back on the horse

Hello, it me, the #HobbyStreak guy. Paint your models, or don't, I'm not your mum. (But hobbystreaking can be a great way to get small, consistent, incremental progress on getting stuff finished. Give it a go!)

#hobbystreak day 3, and after dousing it with liquitex carbon black and dry brushing with various oranges and metallics I'm going to call this piece done. Nice quick one just to kick me off.

#hobbystreak day 2. Giant pink make up brush makes short work of dry brushing the terrain piece.

#hobbystreak day 1 : took a break to fix my caffeine addiction and sleep schedule. Starting back in with a quick and dirty piece of terrain I've had on the pile for a few years

I let my kids pick this years pumpkin designs. They opted for the classics.

#hobbystreak day 53. I begin on death rider number 5

#hobbystreak day 52 and I'm calling Captain marvel done because I know I'm stalling on motivation and need to move on for a while. Bonus group shot as this is the heroes finished at last, barring maybe some varnish if I ever want to use them.

My #hobbystreak is alive, today is day 50 i think, but it's been very lacklustre the last few days and I don't really have the energy for social media. I'm just logging in to look at other peoples work while I wait for paint to dry today.

#hobbystreak 47 was mostly working on the yellow doing very small bits of brighter and lighter yellows to try and get it to look a bit shiny.

#hobbystreak day 46, a bit of experimentation with stroke and pressure while I did the suit highlights. Learning is fun!

For #hobbystreak 45 I tried a bit more on the faces and glazed the blue suit with a purple to shade it a bit.

Most of #hobbystreak 44 has been spent working on the Carols' faces.

I spent #hobbystreak 41 and 42 drinking whiskey and playing RPGs on the slopes of Slievenamon. Back home and painting for hobbystreak 43 tonight.

#hobbystreak 40, starting on the yellows. Need to figure out what I'm doing with the energy bits soon.

For #hobbystreak 38 and 39 it's slow going. I basically just did some more red and blue and added brown for some bits.

Captain marvel has a transform mechanic so I'm trying to paint both versions together. #hobbystreak day 37

Only a few days to go… please share!!!

#hobbystreak day 36 I did Spider-Mans base and I think I'm going to leave it here for a while and move on to the captains marvel tomorrow.

#hobbystreak day 35. Now that venom has a face I'm feeling a bit better about this paint job.

#hobbystreak day 34, a bunch more progress on Spectacular Spider-Man and a bonus butt shot because why not?

My eyes are burned out of my head from work today. But I'm still tipping away at spider-man. #hobbystreak day 33

🧵 Beautiful fresh day in Dublin. My neighbour’s grapes are ripening. I like that the unlikely, such as grapes in the city, is possible. Much of my art is about the fantastic & the surreal. You can see how in these eye-popping colourful one-off drawings, if you scroll down this thread! [1]

Did the blue parts of Spider-Mans suit. Need to go back over the red though. #hobbystreak day 32

I glazed Spider-mans red bits with purple and then glazed him again with red. I *think* this should make the red appear less pink than just glazing over white, but obscure the black lines less than multiple red glazes. Did it work? #hobbystreak day 31

#hobbystreak day 30 The lines on Spider-Mans suit are recessed so I'm hoping that by doing them now I'll have less mistakes to fix later 😅

Right, I tidied up a bunch of little paint splatters, did the base rim, boot highlights and a few other touches tonight and I am calling black widow done for #hobbystreak 29

#hobbystreak day 28, did the belt, widows kiss and concrete. Just a bit of tidy up left now and she'll be ready for tabletop, but this is a very fun miniature to work on and I'm tempted to keep going a bit

#hobbystreak day 26 and 27 This is probably the best face I've ever painted. Which, like, I know it's not great, but I feel like I'm making progress. Her eyes are so close to looking in the same direction.

#hobbystreak day 25 so much time glazing black widows face with pale skin tones.

It's another day of #hobbystreak I think it's 24. Worked the black widow's hair up to a fairly vibrant ginger and did some more work on the skin, though I still have more to go there.

Trying to make Black Widow the star of the show so she's getting a lot more underpainting than the bot did. I like doing gray under a black ink. I think it sells as black, but between the inks transparency and glossyness it makes a more "shiny black". #hobbystreak day 23

Back to painting on #hobbystreak day 22. This one was spent black lining the Ultron bot a bit and putting a yellow glaze on the energy bits

#hobbystreak days 19-21. The streak is alive but I've been writing for my DnD home game instead of painting. Painting will resume tomorrow.

Making slow progress on black widow but slow is better than none. #hobbystreak day 18

Starting with black widow and the metallic layer on the Ultron bot for #hobbystreak day 17

One of the best things about editing Wyrd Science is that you might, say, call up Rick Priestley for a 1 line quote & 2 hours later have an unexpected feature you've now got to make space for The 2nd best thing is you get to call up artists like @flopscomics.bsky.social & have them illustrate it

This might sound odd, but Lady Malys looks *exactly* like my partner.
