Apostate Makes
@apostate-makes.bsky.social
He/him. I like making stuff for fun. Almost entirely mini painting, some food, some leather. TTRPGs/wargames as an excuse to print and paint more minis. I like cats and art. 🇨🇦, Land Back, Every Child, trans rights.
On kind of a vacation atm. Couple weeks before I can paint again. In the meantime here's some #cooking sort of. Homesauce on this lemon cream spaghetti with dill and pepper, 🇨🇦maple whiskey on the side.
Long story short I'm in Greece (♥️🇬🇷) for the next couple years. Left almost all my possessions behind as donations. Building my kitchen supplies back up, and threw together some local ingredients. Needs wine but worked out pretty well. Pan seared chicken, rice, potatoes.
Once you understand the corporate culture of AI hyperscalers is everyone cooking their brains by locking themselves in the bathroom, holding flashlights under their chins, and saying "Aaaaaaaaaay Eyeeeeeee" until they wet themselves in terror, things snap into focus: pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/a...
Yeehaw, FINALLY had the time and spoons to finish up #miniaturepainting these Puppetswar #ghostbusters #orks. I'm satisfied with how they turned out and learned a lot about the comic style of painting.
It has been a hell of a summer. I'm finally sitting down for #miniaturepainting again. Still #wip for a modern-day set but here's some finished #urban #bases I have prepared for the finished models.
Had to use up about five gallons of fresh and frozen berries yesterday. #baking #pie was the answer. #saskatoon #blueberry and #peach pies. P:
Not at all about mini painting. I snapped my shit up overexerting in a marathon 4 years ago. Gained 100lb on the couch, lost all conditioning. Been struggling. Today I tried a very little jump rope and I think I've finally found my slow-starting incremental on-ramp back to running. Hope, finally. ♥️
Welp, I've hit the part of the job search process that describing would invoke content warnings. I don't need any more material conditions, I'm already class aware, thanks. Hmu if y'all know someone looking for a DBA/SQL dev/data warehouse engineer type.
I need to set up a better photo booth but I finished up some Draconis Combine #battletech #miniaturepainting for a friend. Last time I try anything but smooth airbrush coats, edge highlights, and panel lining, but he's pleased with em at least!
Okay and well now I'm upset that the two frightened grey lint balls that my catsitter is fostering are now two lovely little grey girls and NO ONE HAS APPLIED TO ADOPT THEM COME ON EDMONTON 😭
FINALLY had time to sit down for #miniaturepainting today. Just knocking the rust off with this little guy from @reaperminiatures.bsky.social . Consistently satisfied with copper nmm at last! Took me three hours and I feel a weight off from getting back to the hobby. ♥️
#wip wednesday for #miniaturepainting. After MONTHS of being kinda stuck I now have some firm deadlines and am getting through a truly intimidating amount of prep. Blew through a whole rattle can of Corax in an afternoon, and a couple hours getting thinner layers on smaller pieces with my airbrush.
More of my #TMNT 1987 project for my @onepagerules.bsky.social GFF Orc army, using #puppetswar Ninja Family sculpts and Goon Master Games base bits. I learned a lot from these, and have plans for more. Raphael is cool but crude, Michaelangelo is a party dude!
Back! Here's some #puppetswar orcs (Ninja Family) for my @onepagerules.bsky.social GFF Orc army, painted up like #TMNT 1987 in a comic style. 80% of this project was learning but we finally got 'er done! Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines. Some fun base scatter from Goon Master Games.
78% turnout and a landslide for the pro-EU, anti-corruption candidate against Orban. Congratulations, Hungary!
Happy Ostara! It's not really cooking, but I do love me some pickled eggs something fierce.
Homemade salad with homemade southwest style ranch. P:'
Just some #wip #miniatupainting bases but this year has kicked my ass and having any paint down feels like a victory. 80s cracked pavement theming. Coke can, starbucks cup, McDonald's carton.
Fuck, and I cannot emphasize this enough, capitalism.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 8mo agoBREAKING: A Delaware judge has ruled that Krafton must *reinstate* Ted Gill, the fired CEO of Subnautica 2 maker Unknown Worlds. In the ruling, the judge accuses Krafton's CEO of using ChatGPT to come up with a strategy to get out of paying Unknown Worlds a $250 million bonus. Story coming shortly
In the past seven days I have managed one hour of painting. In the past one hour I have broken a toe. Not, in retrospect, my best week.
#miniaturepainting more @onepagerules.bsky.social DAO Union army. This rounds out my first 1k. A Battle Suit Elite using the Commander Frame model from @pipermakes.bsky.social. *Lots* of OSL and edge highlighting on a demi/ace "stealth" palette.
#miniaturepainting some #battletech clan ghost bear for a friend. This was an experiment trying out some comic/cartoon style for a later project. Much more learning than speed or polish. I think I found My Style for BT a while ago, though, and experiments on them feel weird.
#miniaturepainting #wipwednesday Boy oh boy. I am *abusing* these #puppetswar orks trying to get a cartoon/comic styling. The ugly phase lasts so long (or I'm fucking it up). TMNT palette means lots of transparent/streaky/splotchy yellows and greens. I've learned a bunch, at least.
