#milk of human kindness

Figure Fridays #6:

TLDR: A quieter week – focused more on artwork so I had time to work on Glorfindel, his base, and started working on Strong from Fallout 4 while waiting for paint to dry (literally - Glorfindel & a closet).

The Long Rambley Version: This week I had more free time from housework/renovations after finishing the paint in a closet before we start floor repair. So I got some down time to work on more artistic projects - some zines, sticker designs, a greeting card, etc… My partner & I tend to start releasing zines/stickers & other projects sometime around the new year.

I worked more on Glorfindel – slowly building up his hair, working the blending of his cloak, and refining a lot of the front embellishments of his sash. I have a few more passes for the hair to be done, and I’m considering my options for some washes on the armor in the front to get the bright vibrant green spring feel I’m going for with him – basing his look more on his time in Gondolin.

I also managed to find some excellent rocks in my yard to build up the base a little more till I was happy. I want to go with the final look being similar to post-Gondolin's Fall, but obviously before our man Goldilocks gets his hair yanked by the Balrog. So rocky/cliffs/mountainy vibes. I then affixed him to the base.

While waiting on the layers to dry on Glorfindel I started up on

Figure #3 – Strong from Fallout 4. He got a base coating of a rusty brown color then a good mix of flesh tones and greens dabbled on to him roughly. From there I felt it was too bright & too green so I ended up giving him a wash with some ruddy brown and peach tones which I’m quite pleased with. I’ve started his metal plates out with a metallic teal/blue and started up base tones of the Super Sledge he’s wielding.

That’s pretty much it for this week, thank you all for checking in on the progress! One other thing of note - Hopefully I can get a better photo set up area created before I paint some more – as man oh man I’m cringin’ hard at the photos I’ve taken. My cluttered desk & ill adjusted lighting just ain’t cutting the mustard. Sigh. Another project for Another day!

In other exciting news – going to PHX Zinefest tomorrow to see what folks are upto, see what's popular, etc! It's a fully masked event so we're stoked for a chance to get out for something fun!

What does the phrase ”Milk of Human Kindness” Mean? (Phrases Blog)

Article by @warrenwoodhouse

The idiom phrase “milk of human kindness” comes from William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a play which tells the story of a Scottish king.

The idiom can be attributed in another way. The “milk” in question is referring to essence, in this case a soul, this essence is lacking in others that Macbeth have met in his life.

Another way of saying this would be “Where has all of the kindness in the World gone to? It’s evaporated into nothingness.”. Essentially, having no kindness is the reason for the phrase in itself.

The idiom phrase means that the people you see are selfish and have no sympathy, lacking the milk as an essence, being that the humans you are talking to or know of have no moral compass and have no kindness left.

Phrase from: William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Act 1 Scene 5

The way that no wastelander knows where the super mutants are coming from in the Commonwealth

but Strong remembers that the Institute made him and being down there before they booted him

and that he sort of implys that the super mutants are just waiting for the Institute to resurface so that they can destroy their cruel creators

I know it's a fact of life and all, but it does give me the heebie jeebies, knowing there's someone out there whose job is to masturbate male pigs so they can ship off semen to artificially inseminate sows.

Like I get it... it's just...like...business, circle of life, this is how the meat industry is efficient in how it breeds livestock, but...

I'm trying to imagine someone whose job it is to masturbate a caged pig, and it's like...

Hm.

I hope they pay them...something good.

Also I wonder if like...female pigs ever feel super weird about being artificially inseminated.

Like they know it's not natural.

I assume.

And then I think, well, what about the male pigs?

They probably know it's not natural either, being jerked off in a cage by some human.

What is going through their heads during all this...

i had to delete my post about small talk because the notifications were out of control, but i'll check the reblog chain occasionally when i need a boost. for every poster who thinks they are the main character, there are 4 more sharing the loveliest interactions with their local gas station lady or drive thru window employee. peace and love.

I can’t get over how different house and bertie are. You could not find two people more opposite than if you shoved them through a bizarro wormhole.

Looks like Mel is staying true to form. Mel Gibson, Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer,... you sure are a great mentor, RDJ!

Your magic is working wonders on your bloated friend, Boston Dumb Fuck, both professionally and personally. Whatever you told him at his fake, Shutter Island ceremony really was quite special. (Yeah, but his fans are the crazy ones. Sure, Jan!)

Maybe someday you can write a book featuring all this wisdom, unlike the last time when you waxed poetic about eating vegan organic, virtue signaling for the environment without regard to those who can't afford, let along have access to, fresh options. Tone-deaf fuck!

PS- If BDF is going to level up, he needs to surround himself with people who didn't enabled bringing him down, so RDJ, here is a list of others you can fuck around with so you can leave the coddled prince alone: Casey Affleck, James Franco, Jared Leto, Jonathan Majors, Marilyn Manson...
