A painted miniature of an Ostroc 'Mech. It is blue with white highlights. The cockpit glass is orange. The emblem of the 1st Aragon Borderers, a blue crenelated shield, is on the right knee. The sunburst emblem of the Federated Suns is on the left arm. The number "70" is on the lower left leg. The miniature is photographed on rocky terrain.

Definitely my favorite Ost- 'Mech, going by appearance.

Canonically, Franklin Sakamoto eventually joined the #Otomo, and even though he only drove a Hatamoto Chi for, like, 30 seconds in the cartoon, I decided that's what he would have stuck with.

Are the space Catholic mecha of new Avalon fucked up enough?

a streamer I had never heard of (Kai Cenat) is apparently working on becoming more literate and reading on stream and you know what? Fucking good on him. Being open about learning literacy as an adult is incredibly humiliating, despite the fact it's not your fault

...it's George Bush's, mostly

company group shot of a battletech mercenary unit in purple red and white, made with CGL and IWM models an Agrotera, Anubis, and Dola in metal and both inner sphere recon lance boxes

finally finished with a company comm I've been working on the last few months, got really sick during the middle of it so it took a bit longer than I'd have liked it to but everything has come out well ^3^

Someone at GW saw this meme and went "we can go bigger" and then sculpting new Custodes

Oh good, the whimsy mines haven't run dry

I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times

also to be noted that people are probably watching on phones, tablets, and laptops with poor quality speakers

i know *juuuuuuust* enough about compositing now thanks to fucking around in blender to have gasped out loud during the big stupid stress test they do at the end

this is the shit i used to be excited about in machine learning before sycophantic autocomplete and fake news clip generators took over the space, and it's just, like... out there now. you can go fuck around with it!

this is legitimately insanely cool. it's an actually ethically trained neural network (they made all the input renders themselves! and it's open source!), and it does a common piece of frustrating busywork everyone hates better than every existing tool

I don't often say this about another human being but nothing of value was lost.

The album i had wanted to finish for today was an EP of tracks inspired by my favorite tabletop game, BattleTech - and while it's taking longer than expected, I do have some teaser art to share...
