Judge Dredd - ABC Warrior Robot

Specifically relating to my latest post, but in general also: I feel like my attention span has gotten so bad these days in terms of actually finishing anything, to the point that the deflection/procrastination-projects get as silly as "builds a whole-ass 3D model instead of finishing the goddamn drawing because that's somehow easier than dealing with the perfectionism demon hovering over my shoulder when I draw these days"

(I think this why I'm trying to chase looser styles/play around with traditional media here and there again, since anything too precise starts to activate the Overthink Demon. I guess what I post is "oops! All sketches" anyway, but a lot of things still get overworked. Probably should start using timers again or something idk) Rarely do I actually "finish" models as well, which is generally why I don't post any (they are almost always studies/character reference models) but let's see if I can get around to making some Printable Little Guys this year, since frankly I find 3D a more comfortable medium to work in than outright painting/doing rendered-out stuff

Ramble post, but I'm always interested in the topic of "process" when it comes to art, and how struggles & limitations might actually help an individual find what their strengths really are too (or, just reveal areas that need more work. I DO want to finish a couple of the paintings in my WIP folder, but I also have accepted that it's not gonna be the natural medium for me ever) (I always try to include art in long text posts like this so they aren't as boring. Have a Banana Cat drawing I never uploaded. Also yes the printer HAS been added to my enclosure and it's great fun :> )

Finally came back to base these guys after moving house and digging out the hobby supplies.

Originally I was going to go for purple plants in an alien desert. But found these green crystals and I heard the C&C theme start playing, so now it's not-tiberium™

Will do some basic OSL around the crystals once the glue dries more, and then I can varnish!

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

My latest Lancer RPG commission, the HA Enkidu "Bloody Roar"! Another feral little guy just like my previous comm, but this time with even more fun lighting effects. I might have put a little too much pizzazz into them for what's allegedly a flat color commission, but I can't resist drawing molten slag

just the one this time, def put in as much effort tho.

My Tree Lord sylvaneth!

I really enjoyed making the leaves. I used foliage lumps and using super glue I built the structure. Then I applied the undercoats and paint mainly with an airbrush before finishing with a brush!

Commissioned be @ remnants_and_renegades on IG

A "Sniper of the Arcadian Mudmen slowly peaking through a the parapet of the trench to prepare to eliminate a careless enemy trooper across no man's land. The Arcadian Mudmen are dedicated trench warfare specialists and pride themselves in their skill without needless slaughter like their Krieger counterparts."

i realize she's more like taking a moment to breathe here on the picture, but this is what the commissioner wrote when i requested a blurb of text for the caption :3

Project I've been working on recently, big ass quadreped mech. Progress is slow because, life, but I'm real happy with it and am thinking about selling the files for printing for the first time one it's done 👀
