Meanwhile, at the digital art end of things...

Here's another shot of that Magic Room set that I'm about to kitbash/rebuild into a bedchamber.

I'll be stripping all the contents out before I get started. But let me add a couple of human figures first for scale...

...as they're going to be the ones using this bedroom most. —Yes, other members of their marriage will be there often enough. But this is a working family, and the other spouses frequently have other places they need to be.

The initial problem becomes immediately apparent: this space is way too big for a bedroom, even for a king. And with ceilings that high, it'd be hell to heat with just one fireplace. Sure, there'll routinely be at least one magic-worker in the bed at any given time, but why should they have to constantly be spending useful lifeforce on room heating? (Or wasting power on anything besides the things one goes to bed to do.*)

So: time to throw everything out and deal with the scale issues of the main structure.

From the outside, here's what the room structure looks like.

If there's a problem with this, it's that the maker has built it all in one piece. You can't pull annoying chunks off it and get rid of them, or substitute others in their place. But (the flip side of this coin) it is possible to rescale the structure as a whole.

So what I propose to do is squash the room flatter, thereby shifting the shape of those arches somewhat, but also lowering the ceiling. I can also decrease the length of the room somewhat. The combined reductions along the X and Y axes should render the room's proportions a bit more snug and liveable: roomy enough for a Middle Kingdoms family bedchamber, but not a great hollow echoing space that can't be comfortably filled except by sending out to USC or someplace similar for a marching band.

So let's throw all the extraneous furniture out. And (after this shot) the chandeliers. No need for them: this isn't a public space, and the intended resizing would screw up their proportions anyway.

Now we start squeezing the structure into better dimensions. Reducing the room on the X axis (to about 80% of its original length)...

... then on the Y axis, making the ceiling about 30% lower...

... and then widening the Z axis out to 20% or so wider than previously.

So that's a start.

Now about twenty different things have to happen to this space, including fixing the lighting (which got knocked out of kilter by the various resizings, as you can see), hiding unwanted objects like that staircase, changing various materials—such as the floor, which before has always been European-medieval style encaustic tile, so that's what it'll be again—reshaping the head of the bed into something more neo-Gothic (probably in Blender) to reflect the arches, installation of the necessary fireplace, and loading in much old furniture from other renders. (As it happens, this detail's canonical. The other main characters have started teasing Freelorn about Kynall castle's endlessly recycled furniture—especially those beds still equipped with mattresses so old that Héalhra Whitemane himself might have slept on them.)

Anyway, not going to bore anyone still reading this with any further process, except to say that the reworked room features the pale-colored marbles quarried all over that part of Arlen, as well as whitestave wood, used extensively in the Castle and nearby official buildings for its durability and its ancient associations with the Lion and Arlene royalty.

So this is what's in place at the moment, at least down at the bed end. Yet to come: more hangings, more furniture, better bed linens, clothes-presses and bookshelves, clothes thrown over chairs, etc etc...

And at the fireplace end:

More texture and detail work to do down at this end as well; as well as tuning the firelight (always a nuisance). ...A job for another day.

Meanwhile, turned around the bed-facing camera just in front of the fireplace, and found myself regarding a not-too-bad reverse angle.

(eyeroll) These two idiots. :)

*Like sleep. ...Or, yeah, okay, other things. (shrug/grin)

In the trenches of no-man’s-land, you can hardly focus on your rituals under the cacophony of magiks and fireballs.

Another awesome Aetherpunk28 mini I whipped up, set in a WWI inspired fantasy setting, love her and her cool spell circle

Heya! Sorry it’s been a bit! Have a Haus Steiner/Lyran guard rifleman!

Some of my friends convinced me to try out battletech and I think it’s p neat.

I just thought I’d share a couple pics of it start to finish :>

Don’t worry, I’ll eventually go back to building and painting my ENBY Grey Knights and my Space Rats! I just need some actual time, space and breathing room from the 40K drama stirred up by bigots. It’s tough to be motivated & excited to build, paint & play when it seems like there are people with that kinda vibe in the local community. Unfortunately my friends that play 40K aren’t local :<

I’m gonna try to incorporate some of the stuff I love about Warhammer 40K into my battletech builds with kitbashing and model adjustments. (maybe use some legions/titanicus models or 3D prints? :3c)

Here’s a little preview :>

So, in other news I also made a Baba Yaga hut.

The construction was actually surprisingly simple, basically legs from a Dollar General skeleton owl with the top of a birdhouse, and some fake spiderwebs for the "mist"

Tho, painting was... well, I have learned a lot of lessons about black undercoats and painting on wood, that's for sure! But, I am kinda proud of how it came out, so there ya go!

Amid the ruins, amid the scent of scorched earth and blood, the Death Korps of Krieg fights not just for victory, but for the very heart of the Empire.

The Temple of Swellings is a Turnip28 cult. It’s conceit is at any time you can choose to toss of The Swelling, a hideous root that bursts out of any weak unit on the table and then proceeds to grow and grow and grow. Any unit nearby runs the risk of getting swallowed up by the thing.

This is my conception of the Swelling. A sort of biblically-accurate angel turnip from hell. WIPs below the fold.
