I signed with a new agent and spent the last 5 months on a major restructure of a maximalist ecofiction novel imperfectly disguised as a contemporary workplace comedy. #WIP Hollywood has taken over casting for a televised mission to Mars. It’s back up to over 400 pages and my agent is going to be so mad when I finally turn in this draft. Just need to untangle the final 50 pages, which is why I’m playing here. Procrastination is part of the process.
I really want to love this more than I am as it works up.
I'm really hoping like, more progress and blocking works miracles.
It's the same yarn as the pattern, but idk, it looks SO messy and blaaaah to me. Maybe I'm just too close to it. And maybe the yarn will really look great after blocking.
Started feeling better enough to do some hobbying today. So I tested some of The Army Painter #warpaintsfanatic line on this test Alarith to see what the hubbub was about.
Six fairly similar coat rack hooks fresh from the forge. The two on the left had a wee mishap whereby the knobs on one end broke off, so they became curls.
I took yesterday as a mental health day. Sent the toddler to daycare then spent the rest of the day making happy little trees, ordering cheap Chinese takeout for lunch, and binge watching #StarTrekProdigy. This is about 12 hours worth of work to get to this point. Finishing the basing and painting should take 2 to 3 hours. Not sure how long the foliage will take. I also need to figure out where I'm gonna store them...
I’ve been in a real painting slump lately but I did manage to nearly finish these guys tonight (I started them weeks ago). They’ve got some real wonky eyes because painting eyes inside a helmet is a massive pain in the ass and I had zero patience for it today. All that’s left to do is give them a matte varnish and add sand and grass to the bases. #wip#paintingminiatures
Added #kosh to the cast. I liked him very much till the reveal... You know ... And if not: Go watch the #show. Even with it's poorly aged CGI #Babylon5 is still amazing!
