Build time for 1 Chaos Space Marine Defiler: 15 episodes of The Ancient Magus’ Bride
The legs are almost all back on btw. I was short on clamps to get the 3rd one on (back two came off, one of the fronts too…the other is so firmly screwed in that I feared its removal)
I didn’t expect to finish in the top 64 (I made the final bracket!!) out of over 2400 entries, but wow. Just…wow. Can’t wait to check out the feedback later today once I’m on a proper computer. Thanks to everyone at @writingbattle.bsky.social for putting these together!
Doing some work on the writing desk today. Picked a dark walnut stain in the hopes it would hide some of my sins.
Hey so, real quick, why is the job posted? And why is it STILL UP?? Because it’s not an evergreen listing, or at least not disclosed as one.
It’ll be interesting to see how close my estimated word count is (because it’s currently handwritten and based on average words per page, but the sample size is uh, small) and actual word count as I type it all up.
Two big milestones today: 1. I have used up an entire Muji Gel Ink 0.5mm cartridge 2. this manuscript has crossed 50k (handwritten) words.
It's #PortfolioDay and I am still available for animation light/comp work! I have experience in everything from CG to stop motion, on a wide variety of projects that include theatrically released feature films, YouTube series, award-winning games, and episodic series for Peacock, Amazon, and Hulu!
I fear my grid might seem strange or confusing. For context, I only ‘started’ gaming in like, 2024 with Dragon Age Inquisition. I have seen many games played, but I tried to keep it to games only I have played to completion or near to completion. Baby’s first completed game was DAI by the way.
I have never made a joke response faster, like the second after I remembered where Irwindale is.
Oh man we are truly in a literacy crisis but it’s not just the current kids.
It sounds insane but there’s a deep, rhythmic thumping that rattles our house and I have no idea what the hell it could be. Like really distant, low drums.
Oh 10000% so naturally I’ve decided to get fancy with it with a little jug of cashew milk…but it’s basically just elevated builder’s tea
Ginko doesn’t understand why I’m at my computer all night, but he’s very helpful while render wrangling.
For anyone following along at home, about 6 hours and a lot of troubleshooting later, my 2011 MacBook Pro from college is alive once more.
