Thanks for the kind words. Honestly for the teal I start with Payne's Grey from ProAcryl and then slowly mix in Dark Turquoise with each layer, keeping in mind of shadow placement until I get to pure dark turquoise. I glaze that in at the end to punch up the saturation. Then I mix 1:1 turquoise...

was hoping I was pushing thru to the next level, added a km to my walk.

Ended up crashed out all afternoon. Really tired of being tired.

Still trying to pay off the medical bills from last time I ignored my body and ended up in the ER.

Any help would be amazing.

If you see this QQRP with a game that released the year you were born

Even da Overrated Sons lyk em, even if dey try to pretend dey no do warcrimey stuff. Da DoDos, not so sure about, with all they civil wars ya'd think they'd burned the whole place down by now, wit or witout em!

If ever there was a mech in my opinion to get the β€œzoomies”, it’s definitely the Locust. They’re also incredibly adorable in their own death machine kind of way.
