I really want to love this more than I am as it works up.
I'm really hoping like, more progress and blocking works miracles.
It's the same yarn as the pattern, but idk, it looks SO messy and blaaaah to me. Maybe I'm just too close to it. And maybe the yarn will really look great after blocking.

#PennedPossibilities 326 — Do any of your characters have a favorite place that they've ever visited?
Characters in both "Bayou Fire" and "Pompeii Fire," as well as my current #wip, are travel writers. I've never really considered whether they have a favorite place that they've visited, if I'm honest ... but I suspect sentimental attachments to particular spots all the same. #nospoilers
Started feeling better enough to do some hobbying today. So I tested some of The Army Painter #warpaintsfanatic line on this test Alarith to see what the hubbub was about.
Six fairly similar coat rack hooks fresh from the forge. The two on the left had a wee mishap whereby the knobs on one end broke off, so they became curls.
I took yesterday as a mental health day. Sent the toddler to daycare then spent the rest of the day making happy little trees, ordering cheap Chinese takeout for lunch, and binge watching #StarTrekProdigy. This is about 12 hours worth of work to get to this point. Finishing the basing and painting should take 2 to 3 hours. Not sure how long the foliage will take. I also need to figure out where I'm gonna store them...
Work continues on the forest. I've finished adding the sand to the bases, and coating them with mod podge. I've painted the trees with a chocolate brown, and then roughly added some green onto them.
Next steps will be to go over it with a light brown then a final highlight of antique white. After that I'll decide if it needs another dark wash and final highlight.
I’ve been in a real painting slump lately but I did manage to nearly finish these guys tonight (I started them weeks ago). They’ve got some real wonky eyes because painting eyes inside a helmet is a massive pain in the ass and I had zero patience for it today. All that’s left to do is give them a matte varnish and add sand and grass to the bases. #wip#paintingminiatures
Added #kosh to the cast. I liked him very much till the reveal... You know ... And if not: Go watch the #show. Even with it's poorly aged CGI #Babylon5 is still amazing!
