Sam Manley (booked up for now)

Oooh, those sound worth a try!
I am also absolutely going to use this flavouring for other frangipane-type fillings.

It's International Women's Day!

The Pixar story going around is grim reading, but honestly, this mentality is still horribly prevalent everywhere. We need to call it out when/where we see it, and listen when we're told about it. Mostly, we chaps need to get on this.

That might be a way forward.

I'm a huge fan of contrasts, and I think that kind of thing would be lovely. And a nice colour offset!

I previously made a New Orleans king cake, and today I made the French version, galette des rois! @exovondus.bsky.social, thanks for mentioning it!
It’s very pretty, but is maybe 1-note? I like it a lot, flavour is lovely, but I’m thinking something tart in there would be nice, like in a bakewell.

Everything looks normal to me!

Holy shit, 6 months?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hah, what a dipshit 😁

How I arrived on BlueSky:

Twitter was increasingly becoming a fashy place and I was looking for a way to jump to a better site, but bsky was in the early stages of invite-only and @realironhand.bsky.social reached out to offer an invite, so here I am! Devs are f'ing weird but the people are cool :)

art & nationality, sure, why not?

OK! That JCO quote...
If someone is rotten and does huge harm to the world, singling out (no matter the eloquence/humour) their looks is a choice to frame that element of them as a mockable quality, and you're showing what you think of that quality. Not that person, that quality.
Fatphobia sucks :)

💀QRP with your skull art 💀

To be fair, 'skull art' is a large chunk of my artistic output...

It's a hot and sweet/sour tomato/onion curry where the sourness is coming mostly from tamarind.

I definitely recommend people check out dhansak as well, if pathia is interesting - dhansak is a milder sweet/sour lentil dish.

I will note, my experience of these is from British Indian restaurants.

A red, hot and sour pathia curry sits beside basmati rice. On top of the curry,chopped cilantro.

Bit low on supplies at the end of the week, but I could whip up a nice veggie pathia-ish 😃

No recipe this time, just listening to my gut and making an ungodly number of substitutions, but it came good!

Train those reflexes so it's automatic when the time comes 😀

The 2nd best time is now 😀

Artists! Did you flip/mirror your canvas today?!

Well done! It's lovely to see a moment of things moving in a positive direction.

Thank you 😀
I think they do successfully convey who these archetypes are, so I'm happy with that!

Oh yeah, man's work was off the chain and a big part of how I saw Warhammer & 40k when I was getting introduced to the worlds.

I try to not just make non-humans look like humans with a stretch or squash on them, for sure.

And yes! It's a very gentle nod towards the old Ghazak Khan and Oglah Khan Wolfboyz models, who had some facial hair, but done less obviously.

A Dwarf Lorekeeper, quill in hand, scroll in the other. She's something of a unit.

A wicked looking Hobgoblin grins evilly as he rests his foot on an Empire soldier's helmet.

It is *super* fun to me to try to find the personality in each of the characters I illustrate - here, a Dwarf Lorekeeper and a Hobgoblin, both from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

Side musing - I think teeth are often underused as an identifying characteristic in non-monster types.

Oh I meant it in a very positive way!
One of my anti-AI arguments is that the journey really *really* is the point 🎨

The joy of the fuckin' journey, right!?

🙏

I mean the drawings are obviously skilled, but I *really* like the angles and compositions.

Lovely work, Dániel!

Always good to keep on training! Cheers, Lys! 😀

I want to start a conspiracy theory that the 1 is actually a landmass, which sometimes shifts into a 2.

QRP with your sketch vs final!
