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...
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!

How did you settle on your MC's appearance?
I often have a good idea of what they look like ... but sometimes it's more vague. I use storyboarding to help me consolidate who they are so that I can translate that a little better. Pinterest is super-handy for this.

MC POV: Where did you grow up? What was your childhood like there?
Dair Montgomery: We lived in Edinburgh. My da was what they called a hard man; he didn't like that I preferred the company of books and animals to playing football or cricket. My favorite time was the summer; my mum would drive me up to Ballachulish to visit Nanny Kilgour, her mother. Nanny understood me better than anyone; she nurtured my love for nature and learning. I dreaded going back home at the end of the summer.
When I came back from Afghanistan, I was pretty messed up. The only place I'd ever really felt like myself was Ballachulish ... so that's where I went.
Before starting today's #inkyDays drawing, I saw some posts about World Bee Day. So, I decided to draw some dancing bees, even though I drew some a few days ago.
