Gotta make some new stands and take pics but Shiv is done! He was a lot of fun to work on, I learned a few new tricks on him.

Work introduced me as "the jack of all trades, master of some" to the prospective new hires, I am very glad my managers understand my role lol

ok that's a good stopping point for the night. Cheers!

Super productive long weekend, printed a BUNCH of joints for Doorman, Shiv, Seven, and Haze, did a bunch of color batches, and got some work done on Infernus!

Second batch of Seven 2.0 prints getting done, should be able to do some processing tomorrow! I think I'm going to go with a darker charcoal grey metal than the prior version, we'll have to see!

Revamping the gremlin, I should probably give him his blindfold but also....

Ok so Mimesis is actually really good in co-op with friends, we ran into a lot of eerie situations where the stolen voices seemed to actually respond to questions. We had to fight five copies of the Normal Dog, very recommended!

Haze's update parts are printed, Shiv and Doorman are being assembled, Seven's model update is in-progress, and I have Abrams, Lash, Infernus, Dynamo, and Mina in-progress. I've got a lot to do for the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks!

The year's winding down, and while the world's been on fire I am happy with what I accomplished during it. Good work promotions, good times traveling and playing video games with good friends, and good times sculpting and building figures.

I still have no idea what that Seven was smoking yesterday to build for Spirit without adding any items that add Spirit.

I forgot to share. Here. Its spooky so... happy Halloween ig in case I don't finish my other Wip! { #deadlock #thedoorman #deadlockfanart #doormandeadlock #TheDoormanDeadlock #valve }

I think my Succulent Chinese Meal tshirt is replacing I Can't Take Benadryl as my Airport Tshirt, it makes the pat-downs tolerable on account of making them Very Stupid.

I should remake Mini Seven....

First test of Shiv's face decals, super happy with how he's turning out! Next step is flat coat and urethane over his eyes.

Flying back to the US tonight, I'm going to miss Japan. I know I've been mostly sharing food, but it's only a small part of what I enjoyed of my time. It's just easier to slow down and take a picture of a meal than in the middle of experiencing something while out on the move!

Oughhhh these were so gooooood

The Osaka Kaiyukan Aquarium was fantastic, easily one of the best aquariums I've been to!

Kelvin is on a bigger adventure than usual! Photo by @wanderinghastur.bsky.social , figure by me

Spawn camping <3 Sorry, I was busy

I think this was my favorite take on a souffle pancake so far, lightly crisp and flavorful. Hoshito Coffee, Tokyo Station Gransta.

Going to Akihabara really refreshed my drive to sculpt and build, too bad I'm fIVE THOUSAND MILES FROM MY WORKSTATION AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Welcome to The Baroness.

JAPAN

And Kelvin is done! The ice wight stands at about 3"/8cm tall and is 3D printed in colorized resin and assembled from 45+ parts, with custom decals for his eyes and face. He'll be flying out to Japan tonight as a gift to my hubband. As a bonus the sigils on his stupid rock glow in the dark!

I can't log in for a bit lol

This is wild to me because like 80% of why I like my job at all is because I have constant excuses to learn, develop, and exercise weird new skills and ideas. Like I can understand just wanting a paycheck but that sounds insanely boring.

PROGRESS

I like Seven and Kelvin a normal amount.

Hopefully I can at least get one Kelvin done by the time I leave Friday. If not H will have to wait for him for Crimmus, which isn't the end of the world but I would prefer to give him Kelvin in person instead of waiting.

Did the updated Deadlock ship chart, it's not super comprehensive but I'm happy.

fuck this, man

I forgot how nonsense Silhouette Studio is. Import a vector image to make the cutting path clean? No no, lets convert it to raster and then BACK to a cutting path so it's got weird flat points aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#九十九の日 #3dprint Am I late? 🥺🥺🥺

I didn't want to reprint Kelvin's stupid legs but here we are

Got good progress on processing Shiv, Kelvin, and Doorman's prints this weekend, just gotta tweak the thickness of Shiv's harness.

I think my favorite singular thing that happens in a Deadlock match is when I'm ulting as Seven, the enemy team runs out of range, and then the Bebop drags me over and gets them killed anyway lmaooo

Not quite happy with the red pigments I currently have so I ordered some new ones. The fits on Doorman and Shiv's parts are very good so far, I just need better resin colors for them. "What about pai-" No lol

Test fit on Shiv's pompadour, I'd rate this as a success!

In honor of Doorman being made officially playable I set up his sculpt! He'll be parted out and printed once Kelvin and Shiv are done!

[WIP] I haven't been able to continue working on this since before my Steam got hacked and but lookieeee he's moving!!! #Deadlock

Took three times but I got a resin blend set up for Shiv's Dan Hentschel Red fleshtone lol Didn't want to go too Crayola Red, or too muted, and I wanted to keep a good opacity so he's a mix of 6 different pigments. Faces turned out good so next is his undercut and his arm!

That statue of Pocket's grandpa they added really does cement the family's connection to frogs. The Grebb Kid is 99.8% Pocket.

I can't believe Mina was Pocket's fiancee and their "death" is why she's a fucking vampire now. I also can't believe Doorman mocks Kelvin for snubbing Edrick, and Seven for being an idiot who's dead and also a dead idiot. This is truly a fantastic Deadlock lore update, thank you Valve!

wet cat logic

Alright! I'm happy with today's progresson Shiv, time to play Deadlock!

I really like how Shiv's hair turned out, and I'm surprised it went as fast as it did! First time sculpting a pompadour too! I'm also glad Mugen talked me into making his ears more prominent lol

I really like there turntables, sometimes you just gotta microwave a little guy

Tested Kelvin's hair (sans beard) on a certain other chipper blue-eyed ginger who went missing and came back Wrong. So happy I got the fit right first try!

If you're feeling not quite yourself and don't know why, I definitely recommend getting a Metabolic Panel done if you can. Sometimes the answer is literally just an additional folic acid supplement in the mornings, it's wild how big a difference nutrition can make.
