Not a bad result for a first try at the style. Caved and added liquitex bright aqua to the pallette. Tomorrow I'll punch up the neon saturation for the pink and neaten it all up. #minipainting #nerdlings #cyberpunkred
Cyberpunk red Netrunner mini painted in a synthwave purple to pink gradient with orange to yellow gradient areas.

An extra Netrunner model from Cyberpunk Red Combat Zone. I'm painting for a friend and they've randomly got two so I'm doing it differently than the box art.

Okay, limited palette set. Let's see if I can hit synthwave and not clown fiesta. (In case of clowns I got the simple green on hand). #minipainting #nerdlings

Last part of the #CyberPunkRed commission. Honestly, the sculpts on all of these have been about 25% dodgy (lotta mold slip or blurred detail) but they were still a fun time to paint. #Nerdling #MiniPainting

2/3ds of a commission to do the Bozos from #Cyberpunkred complete. 6 more mostly not clowns to go. #nerdlings #minipainting #miniatures
13 painted miniatures from the cyberpunk red game against a black background with the back row being set up on clear plastic shot glasses to raise them up. The minis all look like murderous clowns and are painted in bright colors, especially teal hot pink and yellow

Bases done. And my limited palette scheme final sorted enough I can finish this #CyberpunkRed gang without it looking like an eyesore, while still being the best kind of gaudy. Working with really bright colors is kinda nice compared to grimdark 40k. #WIP #MINIpainting #Nerdling
12 miniature figures from the Bozos (clown) gang on a worktop. They are in various stages of painting with the colors being limited to purple yellow red teal and pink. The bases are mostly metallic with several having sections of black and neon pink squares.

I have found a new form of hobby hell. Two shades of white, warm and cold, directly next to each other. And only a small amount of red. #Wip #cyberpunkcombatzone #nerdling
A base painted mini that closely resembles Pennywise from the movie IT. The majority is cold white with warm white hands and neck ruffle, holding bright red balloons.

Test base for #CyberpunkCombatZone figs. Simple, neon, simple. #minipainting

Finally returned to my slow work on my first army and realizing how many things I'd do differently now if I started them from scratch. Might start experimenting once I get all the current half painted figs to tabletop ready. #minipainting #SistersofBattle #Warhammer #nerdling
Two sisters of battle Mortifier models painted in a green and white color scheme and based on a dry dirt and rubble style base. One is configured like an Anchorite.

Working in digital fraud and ID Theft prevention and having to loop on other Depts is a constant version of the Buster Scruggs meme. Thank you for spending a bunch of time telling me shit I know #fraudprevention #womenintech #monday
Top of picture is a character from buster Scruggs with a noose around their neck saying "First Time?" He looks calm and assured. And the bottom is another character saying "huh?" and looking confused

I have stolen my housemate's cat. And by stolen I was sharply climbed and headbutted into submission by my housemate's cat. #CatsofBluesky

Ope! Intrusive thoughts are winning. I am unsupervised and not caffeinated enough at a game store with a closeout sale. Not visible: my paint addiction

Surely, scratch building at approximately 1:220 (z) scale won't at all be tricky...
My tweezers are too large. #scratchbuilding #miniatures
Picture of 0.5mm styrene rods laid out on sticky tape on a hobby mat in parallel with other pieces starting to go across and make a z scale ladder. A small ruler, needle nose pliers, and a hobby blade are in frame and look comparatively enormous.
