The fish summoner‘s adventuring career has been ended prematurely by a poorly-designed plot contrivance (NOT THAT I’M BITTER), so I spent some time last week figuring out what her replacement would look like.

Please join me in welcoming her replacement, a half-orc witch who eats people.

Hopefully I can keep this one alive for more than six months. :/

Every year on my birthday, I take the day off from work to do something I normally don’t get much of a chance to do; traditionally this meant drawing, but this year, the one thing I’ve been pining to do more of was paint. Specifically, painting random one-off models just because they look nice. I almost never get a chance to do that anymore, so I was really looking forward to it.

I took a four-day weekend to give myself lots of time to work. On the very first day of my vacation, my website was hacked. I won’t get into the horrible details, but suffice to say that I now won’t need to think very hard to come up with a “worst birthday ever”. Yeah, I know… first world problems. 😛

In the end I only got to spend about one day out of my four-day weekend painting, but in that time, I was able to finish a single model that I’m really proud of: Theodore, the snooty English paladin my fourth-best friend Tom is playing in our Pathfinder game.

…we ran a Who’s The Boss tournament today, and I provided part of the bonus prize.

Sorry for the crappy pics, this was taken in store lighting. Head by me, everything else by local painter Nick “Mr. Slippery” Tannous. I’ll try to get some properly-lit photos in the next week or so.

Also sorry for the very quiet couple of months– I’ve been working on a very, very large project, and it’s taking much longer than I’d anticipated. I’m hoping to have it done within a month or two, but I’m going to make a point of popping out a few smaller projects in the meanwhile so that the blog gets a bit of loving too.

Sigh. This quickly ceases to be funny. 🙁

Trying to fix, but this happened the day I left home to visit my parents for four days, and my ability to correct things properly from here is limited.

Sorry about the ugly default theme. I’ll try to have everything running again in a few days. 🙁

I can’t talk to anyone about sculpting, because I don’t know any sculptors.
I can’t talk to anyone about drawing, because I don’t know any artists.
I can’t talk to anyone about coding, because I don’t know any coders.

It’s a bit lonely when you’re too awesome for your peers.

*wistful sigh*
