the easy grip on the knife. the leg over the seat. the hand over the other seat. the sassy "come get it" move. you know the bitch is smiling behind that mask even as he said the line.

so in the book of bill there's a part where he gets a bunch of old ladies to make like, precious moments-style figurines of him called The Tri Angels Collection by PudgyLilDarlins, and I was immediately super amused and charmed by this one --

which I was then Compelled to recreate, out of model magic

interlude

Lost focus and drew a consensual workplace relationship (the inherent intimacy of hanging out in an artist's studio to watch them exist in their element got to me)

Zoom in for details I poured my soul into <3

right, i asked you things, i poked at mediums, and -

-and i am adding text beneath the cut. also Andrei is a fucken genius and i feel lucky being friends with this dude

hi, this is doc aka erebusodora, i speak English with an accent and make art while no one's looking

and the other day i decided: why not play a game?

i wrote down six mediums i can use to create things. i also asked around for art prompts and wrote them on small pieces of paper.

i can draw and paint using digital tools like procreate, mediums that dry fast like acrylics or tempera, mediums that are fuzzy like pencil or chalk, mediums that require precision like ink, slow-drying serious adult mediums like oils, and the god forsaken chaotic tools like watercolours.

so it goes, and tonight…

…yeah. rolled two for acrylics, and got the Armand as Salome paper. buckle up, i wouldn't have uploaded this if i didn't finish the prompt. it's a quick study, but i kinda like it for all the struggle.

love, peace, see you in the next one, i guess..?

Did a lil summary of Nuromai's entire visual development from start to current, pickin out the more refined pieces as examples. I've spent a long time feeling dissatisfied with his design, going back and forth on ideas here and there, especially considering that Nuromai was made with the intent to change his appearance drastically from where he started off in the campaign, as he was created as a closeted trans man with just a general struggle around a sense of identity, whose actively figuring out what he himself wishes to appear as, whilst also kinda... being asked to remain consistent for the sake of his social standing. To say the least, his journey means a lot to me and I look forward to figurin out how tf I'll have to learn to draw him in the future, as oh boi things are happening and some intrusive and deeply rooted wishes may or may not have been made to the void, and I am just waiting for the answer to echo back at us

How To Paint: Lense Gemming

In the Heat Sink tutorial I mentioned that glow effects are really common in 40k paint schemes but see less use in Battletech so let's look at something that I frequently see go the other way- flat painted gem effects for lenses. These work well for Battletech energy weapons, but they can also be used for sensor clusters, glass eyepieces on things like a space marine helmet, or jewels on a more fantasy inspired mini. There's a variety of ways to do these- gem or contrast paints over a metallic base coat, gloss varnish, or just splashing the area with a little color all work just fine- but today I'm going to go over my basic recipe for a green reflective glass effect.

Paints I Used:

For as much of a love/hate relationship as I have with GW citadel paints their color system is remarkably good at getting proper highlight colors for things like this- I'm largely cribbing my color choices here from the old Duncan Rhodes videos and you can feel free to sub out for whatever colors work best for your particular project.

Citadel Caliban Green (dark green)

Citadel Warpstone Glow (green)

Citadel Moot Green (light green)

Army Painter Matt White (titanium white)

Method

Once you've completed the area around whatever you want to gem, start by painting this with your darkest color. Here we'll be using our dark Caliban Green, focusing on the Starslayer's two large lasers. If a little gets on the rim around the lense at this step that's fine.

Once your dark green is dry, take a very small brush and thin down your mid-tone green. Choose one of the bottom 'corners' of the lense and start carefully applying paint there. Ideally, we want to paint a 'crescent moon' shape centered on that corner, with a fatter middle section and thinner tips, leaving the darker green visible in the lense center and one of the upper corners. If the detail proves to small or your hand-eye coordination is too unwieldy for this, sketching a 'C' shape or simply putting a diagonal line thru the lense and coloring the lower half with your light color will also work at this scale.

Next, take your light green color and thin it with your smallest brush. Very carefully apply a thin line of this color along the outer edge of the area you painted with your green midtone.

Finally, apply a small dot of pure white to the upper corner of the lense that remains dark green.

And the gemming is done! Once you get the basic idea down you'll find that this is a pretty versatile technique (I use a variation of it for canopy glass as well). Definitely worth giving a try, and if you aren't a fan then like I said there's plent of other things to do to achieve similar results.
