I accidentally excised all instances of the word Manager from my current project

But oh boy there's room to add it yet!

This book. I blame this book for the way I turned out.
Bonus points: you can get them all here

The cover of a book named "Computer SpaceGames: For ZX Spectrum, ZX81, BBC, TRS-80, APPLE, VIC & PET". The main image is of a series of pulp space ships engaged in a dogfight over a colony ship that has landed on a brown crater ridden planet, with inset pictures of the 1980's style games that could be programmed with the book.

My current experience of UNBEATABLE at the moment is best summed up by this line said near it's beginning...
A screenshot from the game UNBEATABLE, where the main character Beat, a woman with pink hair and a yellow jacket, is standing in a militarised suburb. There is a speech bubble above her head that reads "It's astonishing how little I know what's going on right now"

Decided on desert camo for this lot. Done the base colours for all of them but doing the details now.

Here is the Fixer and the doggie.

Some 28mm scale Warhammer 40000 miniatures held on a turntable and photographed with a macro lens. A Ratling Fixer (a military sergeant but from a group of people who don't stand taller than three foot tall) holding binoculars and a cup of tea, and a pug laden with supplies, surrounded by ammunition boxes. The crates are painted military green, the fixer and his dog are sandy coloured to match their bases which have been flocked with sand.

Painted the most important bit.
A very close up of a Ratling Sniper miniature, part painted. The focus is on the battery pack for the huge sniper rifle, upon which is placed a ham sandwich and a steaming hot enamel cup filled with tea.

Starting the rattling sniper kill team that's been on my shelf for a bit. Not sure what colour uniform I want to give them so just starting with the leather for now. #nerdlings #warhammer #killteam

"Keith are you really going to make another iteration of the fractal world generator... again?"
"Yes but this time in hexagon form"

Might need help with how best to place patterns of hexes, especially as when you go for even sized patterns they look real weird and have weird symmetries

#procgen
An illustration from PROCJAM Seeds #3 from an article I wrote explaining the basic algorithm for a fractal world plotter that places a 3x3 square down on a grid, then 2x2 squares on each of its edges at a random point on the grid, then 1x1 squares on the edges of those, creating an approximation of a koch snowflake, and then filling in the gaps. The caption reads: "Figure 1: Generating a region that starts with a 3x3 square of chunks. It then recursively extrudes a smaller square from a random point on each edge, and repeats until it is generating squares only a chunk in each direction. Finally, orphaned chunks are identified and added to the region as well." A pencil sketch of the generic principle of the procedure as applied to squares, showing the basics of a 1x1 square up to a 5x5, and showing the four valid places to place a 2x2 square on the edge of a 3x3, and a sample of the output at the end. A pencil sketch of the process transfered to hexagons, first showing a 1x1x1 hexagon up to a 5x5x5 hexagon, with the grids then shown as dots to ease drawing the second section, and then showing the four valid places to put a 2x2x2 hexagon pattern on the edge of a 3x3x3 hexagon A mock up of what a final result might be from this pattern, showing a rainbow of hexagons, with a 3x3x3 in red, and rotating clockwise from the right the process of recursively adding smaller patterns of hexagons that in turn add smaller patterns of hexagons

Continuing to clear out my backlog and you know what, Chaos deserves some colour. Finished tidying up the other undead warbands I've got, but also decided to blitz through this Gnarlspirit Slaves to Darkness band for Underworlds and decided they needed to be really bright. #nerdlings #warhammer

Very happy how they've turned out now that they've got some inks on them and gone over the yellow in places to make them brighter.

Did the basecoat on the Ork Kill Team that's been sitting on my shelf for a few months. Figured Bad Moons were the appropriate pick of clan this time around.
