I've had a lovely set of gouache paints sitting unused since my birthday in June and I finally had a little time to attempt something with them! Literally the first time I've used the medium so be gentle 😆 It's going to take some practice to get a feel for what is possible.

Todays hobby progress, another completed miniature. This is Jester, our DM for our ongoing DnD campaign. As with all my DnD miniatures the model, and scheme were chosen by the player. I think their mini came out really well.

Meet the Turret Monster, a 40k ork dreadnought that is largely scratchbuilt. For sie reference, the base is 60mm and the model is 105mm tall.

A tall walking contraption of salvaged metal plates, with multiple turrets stacked on top of one another.
Its front is painted red, with a stylized toothy face at the bottom.
Several goblins can be seen on top, with two of them poking out of tiny hatches and one climbing.View from the right.
The plates are all of different colors, and there are stompy legs on each side.View from the back.
No red over here, most plates are greenish, light blue or orange.
There's a wide, curved exhaust pipe going up its hull.View from the left.
It has a robot arm on this side.

in tagalog, instead of saying “whatever happens happens” we say “bahala na si batman” which loosely translates to “let batman handle it” and i think that’s beautiful

The bungie video game I miss most isnt halo or marathon or destiny It’s oni! Oni is a bizarre third person action game that feels like this stunningly good video game adaptation of a niche 80s OVA that doesn’t fucking exist
