Volume One is done!
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Taking a short two-week break for edits, and the story continues with Volume Two.
More soon, including new art.

Final edits of volume one of The Nameless Company.
Formatting, content check, then… bookstores.
I’ll be mostly unreachable until the publishing process is over.

The holidays went by way too fast.
The “long” vacation turned out not to be that long after all.

But I’m back.

At this point, I’m fairly certain I’m made up of half bigos and pierogi, and the other half is fruitcake.

I regret nothing.

#WriterLife #WritingCommunity #pierogi

I don’t know what you’re celebrating, or if you’re celebrating anything at all, but I celebrate Christmas, so I wish you all the best.

Rest, have fun, do whatever you want (as long as it’s legal).

Long-awaited vacation starts now. See you after Jan 7. Updates are scheduled.

#Christmas #WriterLife

Every scammer starts their message the same way. I've literally received the same message six times in the last week, and it hasn't been the most active week. Christmass is coming. Go decorate the tree or something. I honestly don't give a fuck

#writerslife #WritingCommunity

Everything delivered.
Me for the rest of the year:

Health update: I’m feeling good again, and my cat is doing well too.
I’m wrapping up my antibiotics, while she’s starting another bottle of CBD.

That's exactly what I had in mind when I sat down to paint that mini😁

three more days of antibiotics and then I come back like a phoenix from the ashes

The bubble wrap in my lungs is gone, but I still don't feel great. On the other hand, how long can you lie under a blanket... So I dropped by to show off Percivald the Warrior Hamster, which I finished painting a while ago. What do you think?

YouTube video by minbitt made a discord server it broke in the first hour

It's me. Seriously

Plot twist: it is pneumonia.
Still wheezing like bubble wrap, but updates are on track. New chapter’s up.

The house is finally spotless and all the little repairs are done. Now all that’s left is to survive pneumonia and I can fully enjoy the holiday vibes!
Okay, okay — kidding. No pneumonia yet, just some minor crackles on the stethoscope.

#WriterLife #TeaTime #NotSickJustDramatic

Kicking off my holiday cleaning. Don’t try to stop me. There’s no point anyway, because I haven’t actually started yet. Updates will still follow the schedule, but there’s a good chance I’ll forget about social media.

Wonder how I'm doing? Yeah… same old, same old.

I still don’t get why some of you insist The Last Witch is just a romance disguised as horror, but if that’s what you really want to believe…

...and they’d keep going until someone screamed like a maiden.

This year, I decided to paint one of these demons. How do you like him?

Tonight, the Company would probably be sitting by the fire, passing around a bottle, pretending not to notice the shapes moving beyond the light. To keep their minds off the demons of the past, they’d start scaring the new recruits with every ghost story they know...

Even mercenaries have their traditions.

They don’t light candles for the dead — they light lanterns to keep the shadows at bay.
They don’t remember the fallen, but they’re more superstitious than anyone you’ll ever meet.

Meet my Halloween guardian — a scarecrow who’s seen too many battlefields and still finds the time to smile.

Happy Halloween, everyone!
May your lanterns burn bright.

Guys! The next chapters are already scheduled! Once the varnish dries, I'll drop by later to show off my new work. For now, here's the last miniature from Nighthaunt proxy: The Morarium from @FleshcraftSTU

I love Halloween! I've already bought candy, picked out a pizza... But for now, I have new chapters for both series and Keiroth, The Executioner from Fleshcraft Studio

Scored a temporary victory against the bureaucracy!
Celebrating with a quiet evening, and showing off my minis from Fleshcraft Studio: Souls of the Damned.

Last week I found out I had — in words — three things to take care of at city hall.
Knowing how things usually go there, I assumed it would take me three days, one per task.
Oh, what a hopeless optimist I was…

#AuthorLife

This was supposed to be fun.
Can’t say I feel particularly relaxed right now.

Maybe once I finish painting it, I’ll look at this monster with a bit more kindness, but definitely not at them. I’ll be cursing Raging Heroes till the end of my days.

I’ve wasted more resin printing one failed version after another than what actually went into the whole thing. Not to mention the deadly amount of green stuff I had to use to fill those gaping holes, plus all the extra layers of resin I brushed and cured by hand just to make it look somewhat even.

I won!
After a long battle, they finally sent me that one missing piece.
Too bad it doesn’t fit.

I don’t even want to hear the name Raging Heroes ever again.

Still haven’t received the file, so I’m launching a full-scale war and reporting it everywhere. Not sure I’ll win, but I’ll make them bleed.
Also: new chapters coming for you.
