The way I've seen it phrased:

"Loser of the knife fight dies in the street. Winner dies in the ambulance."

Some dude got angry at me earlier today for not being sufficiently angry at AI, which was weird considering that I've openly called for tech CEOs to be hanged for crimes against humanity.

It's layers of Army Painter Alien Purple, Hexed Violet, and Violet Coven. The real key is that they were drybrushed over Purple Alchemy Speedpaint, which is more of a maroon and gives a hint of a warm tone.

He's the platonic ideal of a puppy. Unbelievably cute.
