Who the living frack thinks this is a good idea???
The POINT of figure painting is to get one’s hands dirty in paint, to watch the result develop. It’s hands on, just like sewing.

people are ‘painting’ minis with ai now… it’s depressing & they answer comments like it’s some kinda ‘skill’. they used to actually paint but now just churn this out for likes?
many people won’t realise & will just assume that the person painted it, cos why wouldn’t you?
be careful out there 💕

Say what you will about 80's hair metal/glam rock, but not a single BIT of it was made with AI generated bullshit.
Including one of my all-time favorites of the era that I am linking. This is not one of the songs they are BEST known for, but it's one of their absolute best.

Me over here trying to figure out how often I can do livestreaming of my sewing stuff, when I do it.
I'm load balancing more between premade and self-built things because I learned from Astarion that making something takes longer than it used to. And it's not like I plan to compete again.

Another weekend of me tearing up and re-situating the guest room/crafting nook. It needs all the work I can spare so I can start smaller projects.
Also: fixed my slippy dress form with a photography clamp. 🤣

Two more days off, which will likely be spent doing the last of the cleaning in my sewing nook (really, it should NOT take over the whole guest room) and setting up my previous streaming machine in there so it can be used for stuff like embroidery software, 3D Printing software, etc.

If I can confirm that the weird nausea that started last night is done, I can try to put myself back in Astarion for fun tonight. Maybe take some nice photos for a change.

I may try to draft out Rhapsody this weekend on the 3D printer. I want to look at the parts and see if I can figure out making the handle clear due to a little rumor someone set me on about Rhapsody’s identity….
My 3D printer isn’t top of the line but I do like playing with it. Yay more stabbies!

By the way, if I feel damn motivated, this will be a thing I wrangle mostly from the closet. Because short deadlines are short.

Nothing. We are freaking CLEANING up in here. For now. And then there may be some Dickens Fair plans and maybe a damn corset.
