A little bit of a reverse work in progress of both the painting and the sculpting of my latest piece: Tsuchykaa, First Scion of the Everqueen. You will be able to enjoy this process soon at @miniatureart_academy

The last step here includes preparing and adding the cherry blossoms, which is a tedious process that revolves around taking apart @gamersgrass cherry blossom tufts, and separating the flower from the leftover plastic hairs one by one. After that, selecting the perfect size and shape of little branches of sea foam tree, painting them manually, and glueing the petals, to finish of by cutting any sharp almost microscopic branch of said sea foam try with a precision scissor.

Painting wise, adding final levels of detail is always welcome and never ending.

With my magnifying goggles I took 7 days to add detail inside of the detail. Subdividing areas of detail this way was a first timer for me. Oddly satisfying.

The value and tone is right were I want it. And the bark has the right sensation. Time to put the goggles on. The arm is still not glued on to render several areas.

First sketch and refinement on the metal. I wanted to go for a way subtle yet nuanced reflective surface. The key here was adding the cherry blossom reflections and interactions way before actually adding them. I always enjoy reflecting surfaces.

First proper picture taken. Definition is still lacking and I was trying to get the right sensation for the bark. The main highlight here is adding breakages on it in order to add material differentiation. My friend @thibaut.rahm told me that this is an actual technique in Bonsai called Shari, which relies on removing the bark to generate scars on the tree in order to generate value and material differentiation.

Second session of sketching, you can see at least a little bit of definition and placement of values on materials. I wasn’t brave enough to take proper pictures.

First session of color. Using different approach than my normal one priming in black, I covered the mini with a bright grey primer from tamiya as recommended by my friend @andywardle_artwork instead of black made me use color and base coats in a different way. I just

I dreamed up this idea a year ago when I found the @elfontheshelf costume for Hazyl. Seeing it finally come to life was SO much fun!! 🎄❤️ It turned out even better than I imagined! So grateful for everyone who goes along with my crazy ideas and helps make them happen! 😂 I mean, we all know I love Christmas… maybe just a little too much! 🤶🏼🎅🏼 Pretty sure the trick-or-treaters loved it too!! 🎃🎄

Too late to do makeup 😐

the votes in Texas were barely counted before the internet started planning what to do with all the data centers.

Texas has been one of the biggest hotspots in the country for AI data centers, with huge projects going up across the state. Once election night swung in a direction a lot of people didn’t see coming, the jokes started flying.

and the internet had ideas.

some people want them turned into community colleges. some want Pokémon Centers. some want comic shops. and one person simply wants every single one of them turned into a Barnes and Noble.

the meme that hit hardest? a building with half its sign missing, so it just says “WELL F,” which is apparently exactly how data center developers felt looking at the results.

and then someone dropped a photo of an old bookstore packed floor to ceiling with books, with one perfect line: protect the real data centers.

nobody actually knows yet what any of this means for the future of AI in Texas. but the timeline has already decided. the robots are out, and the bookstores are back.
