A screenshot of my Dwarf Barbarian. She has the standard broad shoulders and stockiness that fantasy dwarves typically have, with dark brown skin, brown eyes, and a solid black line of tattoo over her lower lip and down her chin. Her hair is grey/white dreadlocks that are pulled back into a ponytail. Strapped to her back is a two-handed axe that's almost as tall as she is.

I'm still playing my Warlock, but I decided I wanted to start a new character and really just get up close and hit things, so I've made a Dwarf Barbarian. 😁 I cranked the "Maturity" slider up to about half way, so she's a grizzled veteran who has Seen Things.

A photo of the top of my monitor with a slim webcam on it, and a large white LED panel light behind it.

Coming up for four years into the pandemic and I finally have a grown-up video call setup (and the best part is that work paid for it).

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog sitting up on his haunches, in the middle of flailing his front paws at the person sitting in an office chair at the right of the photo. On the desk is a plate that has a bagel and a carrot on it.

And now he's doing an up and flailing at @yayKM because he desperately wants some of the carrot she's eating.

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red beard and short brown hair, and my friend, a darker-skinned man with short hair wearing a collared shirt. I'm holding my bass guitar (though you can't see much of it beyond the neck strap), and my friend is holding a black electric guitar. We're both smiling at the camera.

A photo of a big white dish with smoked pulled pork in it that's been all pulled apart. There's an absolutely magnificent-looking pink smoke ring in the pieces of meat.

Awww yeah, had a friend over for music and pulled pork today! Haven't lost the knack, the pork was in for a bit under seven hours and came out gooooooood.

I also didn't realise that it'd been an entire year since I'd last used the smoker, oops. Related, I am EXTREMELY full right now.

A photo of two miniatures side-by-side. One is a standard human-sized skeleton warrior, the other is an ogre who is head and shoulders taller than the skeleton. The ogre is wearing chainmail and a big helmet that leaves his face exposed, and has a big mace held out in one hand behind him like he's either about to hit something or has just finished doing a big backhand swing with it. In his other hand is clenched a big blade that's attached to a leather glove and that arm looks like he's about to stab someone with it.

And the final hero is completed, say hello to Brutogg Corpse-Eater! (As before, skeleton for scale.)

A photo of an aristocratic-looking miniature mid-stride. He's got a magnificent beard and mustache that's curled up at the ends, plus a long top-knot of hair and the rest of his head is bald. He's holding a steampunk-looking pistol upright and has a red jacket edged with white fur billowing out behind him, and his other hand is on the pommel of his sword. His robe thing is lined with armour plates and he's wearing an armoured chestpiece as well.

Glaurio ven Alten III is ready to avenge his family's deaths!

One more hero to go (who is actually mostly done but the base texture paint is currently drying) and I'll have the full eight completed, woot.

A photo of two painted miniatures. One is a wizened old man with an EXTRAORDINARILY long and thin beard that reaches down to the ground, wearing a black cloak and carrying several large books along with a tall wooden staff. Standing next to him is a lithe wood elf all dressed in greens and browns with a pair of antlers on her head. She's in the middle of aiming a bow an arrow and is simultaneously launching herself off a broken piece of stone on the ground. There's snow at the base of the stone and next to it, but the left half of the base is rich earth with grass tufts on it.

Qulathis the Exile is now finished, and I've done Octren Glimscry too!

I'm particularly happy with how the base for Qulathis came out. I've been putting snowy bases on all the heroes to make them REALLY stand out on the board compared to the hostiles, but given Qulathis is a wood elf and is all done in greens and browns like you'd expect, it felt sort of weird for her to be on a fully snowy base, so I decided to split the difference and have partially half-melted snow instead. I think it gets the point across, and looks terrific to boot.

A photo of a very large combination demon/bat monster thing. It's hard to describe but it's got red leathery-looking skin like a demon, brown fur on various parts of its body, and running along the inside of its arms are what look like vestigial wings. It's face looks like a bat and the whole thing is hunched over, and it's standing next to a normal-sized skeleton warrior that is less than half its height, even crouched like it is. On the base is a pile of skulls, mostly humanoid but with a very large ogre skull sitting in the middle of the pile. Its face and hands are covered in blood.

Standing next to it is a partially-painted lithe wood elf all dressed in greens and browns with a pair of antlers on her head. She's in the middle of aiming a bow an arrow and is simultaneously launching herself off a broken piece of stone on the ground.

The big lad is done! I added some extra highlighting to his face and the highest points on his body, and of course no self-respecting bat-demon-thing would be complete without some blood effects.

Plus, I started Qulathis the Exile, one of the other heroes, before dinner and have made this much progress on her already.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog sitting in the back seat of a car. His lip is slightly stuck so it looks like he's smirking.

This is the face of someone who was SUCH a good boy at the vet that they didn't even need to sedate him at all to give him his chemo drip.
