I 3D printed Isobel Thorm’s spear from Baldur’s Gate 3!
The spear head was printed on a Bambu Lab A1 with eSun PLA, STL by Ultima Props on Cults 3D.
The staff part is a pine dowel from Home Depot (it's a little warped unfortunately), and I "engraved" the designs using my rotary tool. The 3D printed pieces were connected with a 1/4" threaded rod which runs about a foot down into the wooden dowel, so it's fairly sturdy. Overall height is about 72"!





#holy shit this is faultless#prop making#literally looks like something you'd find in the Wiener Kunsthistorisches#I know zero things about BG3 but this makes me want to learn#goddamn

Being one of those "hot" cosplayers was never on my bingo card but hell, I'll take it.

Look suave before heading up to a rooftop to get wrecked by snipers: ✔️
One more from Edmonton Expo last month. Flying out to Winnipeg Comic Con with @hellofeanor this weekend because we aren't ready for dress-up season to be over yet.

Another meme with Titus and the boys. 🫐 There are two huge mistakes in this image made by yours truly. I have imapired vision so I had mistaken Valtus' name for "Valor" also I had forgotten to flip him in the mirror.

Started this while I had the flu, finally just finished it to get it out of the wip pile.
A day in the life of Barney, metrocop, which just happens to be the day Gordon shows up in City 17
#hey so I have Thoughts™ about what went through Barney's mind when he saw Gordon on the screen#the military history side of my brain is quite used to working with social bonds built between young men under extreme stress#and i don't doubt for a minute that Gordon and Barney bonded real good during the Black Mesa incident#i already suspect they'd established a pretty solid bromance (see Sepko's snapchat series for the general vibe)#because they're two young dudes#employed in a place brimming with geezers#so there's already going to be some immediate solidarity#which is deeply DEEPLY compounded by the stress and trauma that follows#also this is cute as hell#always gonna wonder about the timing there and how Barn is conveniently on shift#and able to stop Gordon getting shipped off to Nova Prospekt

Had a heckin' time with Casual!Lieutenant Titus on Friday at ECCC. Appreciated the handful of folks who recognised it and offered Imperium-coded greetings.
Triple-pumped to get on with the big Astartes project now so stay tuuuuned for build progress.

Oh heck, do I ever have something in the works for you then! 🙌




Well, folks, I'm not 8 feet tall and 750 lbs but that didn't stop me from Leeeeeroy Jenkinsing a makeup test for Titus last night. Plotting some last-minute bullshit for ECCC this weekend so had to practice.
Time-stamp here is around 4 hours but the final time should be closer to 2 now that I know what needs to happen. Reversed the scars and service studs so they're on my left side vs. his right (broke my nose on the playground when I was 10 so face looks better on the left RIP).
Bonus outtakes:

#bullshit intensifies#gonna do Lieutenant Titus on His Day Off on friday at ECCC lads#usually save this brand of bullshit for D*Con but there's a 40K panel and I feel I need to dress appropriately

I feel like everyone needs to see how jacked my son Bruce is.
#bruce#it was buff arms o'clock in my place the other night#bruce is the local baby-daddy to all of mum's barn cats#he was an abandoned feral tom who was suuuuuuper-shy at the start#but now he lives with me and is my best big man#still thinks he has game too despite being neutered four years ago

Dealing with some long-seated personality clashes at work these days and I just h a t e that humanity has backed itself into a constipated hole here.
"Yes, this person is being heinous but they're not being heinous in one of three very specific ways so we can't do anything about it."
My place of employment is full to the brim of top-shelf, kind, compassionate, hard-working people and it makes me lethally angry to see someone going out of their way to make these people feel like shit.
#I know shitty people can find their way around the social checks-and-balances put in to prevent wanton ostracism#the trick is#how to do this as a good person#because this absolute scrot needs to go
