I was asked in chat what my best/worst boss was, and i thought pretty long and hard about it, so:

Best : Lost Lace
Worst: Hero's Call (Emotionally)
Most Interesting: Cogwork Dancers
Least Interesting: Voltvyrm
Most Fun: First Sinner
Least Fun: Broodmother
Hardest: Karmelita
Easiest: Khann

Man, #Silksong is such an incredible game. I'm so excited to see what comes next, given the true ending. Damn.

Still think I should have taken proper notes, but after #HollowKnight, I had a much better idea what to expect.

(no matter what FilthyVicar says, I still think I'm bad at Metroidvanias)

I think i like the yellow better on the assault intercessor i did a couple weeks ago.

It's been really fun doing a quartered scheme. It's more work, but it shakes things up nice

I've been informed that it looks like he's waiting for a highfive...

Spent this week painting shiny silvery nmm on Apollons armor, including reflections of his flaming sword.

21 days left until I want to bring the entire finished piece to SMC. Wish me luck! 😅

#nmm #miniaturepainting #figurepainting #scalemodel #kimeramodels #apollon #traditionalart #acrylics

WIP photography of the character model "Apollon, God of Sun", which is part of the chariot piece sold by Kimera Models under the same name.

So far on this work-in-progress state, it's painted with desaturated dark red skin, shiny light grey metal armor with blue and purple color influences within the NMM and a green orb at the center of the open stomach cavity, which is painted with different spiral-shapes. The orb is painted to appear as emitting light in the same colors, primarily hitting the inner walls of said cavity as well as the openings of the armors chest plate.

It's photographed in front of neutral grey background and features a small sized low opacity version of the CryoCheese icon in the bottom left corner.

You'd think the finish line would be close, but you'd be wrong :3

All the tiny black trim and lights Dx

Kicking myself for attaching the cage before painting. More metalwork done, inside next, then arms.

4th image is the general pose I'm planning, minus the pilot standing in the open hatch umbilical'd into the seat

Amberley Vail @gumitznah.bsky.social · 20d

Feeling much better today! Just metal highlights left on the hand\gun and some more cleanup.
