John Blanche was such a genius designer, and he had such a patheon of stuff that the miniatures could never fully capture.
May he rest

This is painful. John Blanche has passed on.
Games Workshop and Warhammer would be nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, without him.
He was the beating heart of GW's worlds, made theses little toy games feel like they had a whole universe behind them.
His body of work is STAGGERING, and the amount detail he packed into each piece truly dwarfed the game itself.
One of the Lords.
Farewell.

Decisions decisions, am I right?
When folks bring up ai Slop in-person conversation to me I just say "Don't get me started"
I mean it though. DON'T get me started.
It's an old saying haha, but I do tell people it won't be a friendly conversation anymore. Regardless of your feelings or curiosity on the matter, you don't wanna hear my thoughts on this at a family event.
It's become a very big can of very big worms with lots of very big teeth now. Change the subject, Linda.
I have posted about it on here in the past, espoused my feelings, and often used humor to poke fun at this ridiculous new thing, and why I think it sucks.
That moment has passed now. I no longer think my feelings on the matter count as civil discourse. Is it a complex topical issue? Yes. Is there a dialogue that MUST be had if we're going to move forward? Yes. But I'm embarrassed to say, I don't think I'm able to participate rationally anymore, especially in-person.
Linda, I know you're my mom's friend, I know you're a good person, I know you're just curious and want to understand it, I am just shamefully unable to describe my stance without sounding utterly, violently, insanely zealous. You won't get the reasonable, unbiased viewpoint you deserve.

For those who wonder where Zolimo The Unspoken One calls home, you get to see where he lives. Nice place.
Our boy may be a duck now, but you didn't think he just LIVES in a pond, did you?

Black Rat Snake having fun. This one is just under 3 feet long, though my brother discovered a fresh shed skin in the garage that seemed to come from someone even larger.
Is this the beginning of our property's annual mass-migration? Not sure yet, but I bet it'll be soon.
Every year we have Snake Fest, where a large number of rather large black rat snakes appear. Some sneak into the house to gorge on mice, which is kind, but kinda stressful to stumble upon.

This morning one of our dogs passed on. Bubby, who'd turned 17 last week.
He was a rescue and we got him when he was about 10, and he was in rough shape, mentally.
His former owner had dementia and was very angry and abusive. There were several larger mean dogs in the household as well, so when we got him he was a nervous wreck.
He was scared of everyone, barked at everyone, and was terrified to be approached or touched.
Over the course of maybe 2 years, my Mom was able to slowly help him get comfortable. Took a long time for him to get used to me, since I only visited a couple times a month, and if company came over he barked at them virtually the entire time they visited.
Over time he became more chill and happy. Eventually he felt right at home, and would lay around with us, sleep in Mom's bed, became playful and energetic.
He was very clever and had a talent for solving food puzzle toys. He would also amuse himself by tossing and bouncing kibble and trying to catch it. He very rarely ate normally out of his bowl, there had to be some element of challenge to it.
We are very proud that we gave him a safe and happy place to spend his latter years. He went from traumatized little guy to Big Brave Boy.
We're proud of him, we love him.
Farewell and travel far, Bubby.
A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.
I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.
One of the coolest concepts I never ever would've thought of, and now can't stop thinking about 🐉🦠

I forbid anyone to look up this stupid stupid deep deep cut. You have to stumble upon it naturally, on your own.
You can do whatever you please.
I first saw Adam Rex from the illustrations he did for Magic: The Gathering cards. He produced some of the scariest and majestic fantasy art that has ever existed.
He still paints for them from time to time, but his passion for children's books is what's really flourished in the past few decades. Gumluck the Wizard is one of his latest. He is a master of genuine humor for all ages.
In the fine tradition of George Miller (the director who brought us both Happy Feet and Mad Max: Fury Road), Adam Rex is an artist who proves: You can do ANYTHING you want. You contain multitudes.
Go to your nearest MTG directory and have a look at the great card illustrations he's done over the years, there are so many wonderful gems.
Adam can be found on Bluesky and Instagram, give him a great big follow. Great guy 🦖
Cleaning out old sketchbooks and discovered this unfinished Tank Girl from college (somewhere between 2010 and 2015)
I really really like this piece a lot... but it makes me very sad.
We often look back at old pieces and think "This looks like it was made by someone else". I feel that way here, but for very specific reasons.
One being the paper it was done on, a Copic sketchbook with heavy smooth paper usually intended for markers. I used it almost exclusively during college because it took pencil really well. To my knowledge though, they are no longer produced.
The other, sadder reason I envy this piece, is that I used to have a much steadier hand, and to me it really shows here.
This kind of hard linework and precise shading used to be fairly simple for me. If it looks similar to my current work, it's because all my drawings nowadays have massively tweaked exposure and contrast to darken the lines, plus cleanup in Clipstudio Paint.
This is a phone photo of the piece. There isn't any cleanup here, and the lines look this good in-person. My pencil work now must be scanned and put through a fairly heavy darkening/editing process to look like this.
I've learned a lot since college, and I feel more confident, ambitious, and free in my design work and gestural drawing..
But I've lost a lot. There are skills and techniques that age has taken away from me. Digging through these sketchbooks is fun, and I'm proud of a lot of the stuff I did...
but I'm older. I feel older. My hands shake now, they aren't steady and strong like they used to be. I'm finding stuff in these boxes I couldn't manage nowadays.
Styles change, techniques change, and not always when or how we want them to. Still, while looking through these, I'm a little jealous of my younger self.
"So the key opens the door? Where is it?"
"We know, but it's not so simple."
"What do you mean?"
"The door doesn't want to open, and even if we have the key, it won't open without a fight."
