Some Clay Pins! The Video Quality Is A Bit Rough Cus I Made It Super Fast, Bu Yeah! I Covered The Pins

It's a mewshroom🐱🍄

I found these plastic dinosaur minies and decided to paint them to look like Lucky and Wuerhosaurus from paleo pines & and i will show you all the steps in case you want to do something like this yourself

This was my firs time painting minie figures and i tried using the same techniques people use for DnD figures so you can just look up those tutorials on youtube.

I found these ugly plastic dinosaurs on at a flee market for like 5 hryvnias and this is how they looked before their makeover:

First thing i did was wash them with soap and strip off all the spray paint from them using polish remover/acetone, untill they were this weird yellowish plastic color. (Idk if this step was necessary but i wanted to romoves all the dirt & dust so the paint sticks better)

Then i painted them fully with a dark color. I dont advise using pure black. I used a more dark-ish grey with a bit of blue so the undertone works better.

By the way here are these mfs near a match (for size comparison ofc).

Next i dry-brushed them with a cream color to bring out the texture and leave the dark color in the creases and shadows. I had to go over with a few coats so that they were not too dark.

Fore some reason they made these guys all wrinkly instead of scaly but it did help with the texture lol.

(The more i looked at them the more i saw how weird and inaccurate they are. Still cute though)

And the last steps were to cover them in colorfull washes:

The key is to go slowly, building up the colors layer by layer. I also added a bit of different hues in some places to make the colors less more alive (like a bit of pink on the plates, or some green in certain places idk it just gives more variety to the colors. with out it it the colors look a bit monotonous).

Also, seriously go play the game!!!! it`s just so cute. Dinosaur designs are cutified but still faithfull to how the animal looked according to science (minus the pastel colors lol) and you just know that it was made by true dinosaur lovers.

They do have a tumblr blog at @paleopinesofficial but i see their content more on tiktok

Throwback to a couple years ago when i made this cursed masterpiace for a college assignment.

Now it`s the last year of my college and i`m thinking about ressurecting this idea and using it for a full project. Like making the rest of it and turning it into some kind of Zine.

Idk if i will have time or energy to pull this off. I have a few ideas on what articles Frogue could have but still not sure about the theme.

Will it be a parody on fashion & beauty magazines, making fun that industry and pop culture? Or a more cozy goblincore niche zine with articles on types of frogs/moss, guides on how to forage and pin insects and make cute food recepies? Will this idea even see the light of day???

Made this for my coledge assignment. We were supposed to make a fashion magazine cover, but i went my own way :)

It`s old, no idea why i havent posted this yet, i`m pretty proud of it

So i'm a bit late but here's the second character. His name is Erick #artsy #drawingsketch #sketchbook #sketch #newt #oc #originalcharacters #characterconcept #conceptart #characterdesign #characterdrawing #characterart #lizardart #cuteillustration #funnyillustration #fantasycreature https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMWhjhDr1l/?utm_medium=tumblr

Shitting on Russians is as good a reason as any. Truth is, there really are a shit TONN of bots, and there are straight up troll farms in russia (but I feel ai might take like half their jobs in the future, if not already. Poor fucks).

So this theory comes way less from "this specific post/thing/conspiracy comes from bots"

and way more from "if I was a russian troll, I would 100% be do this" and "if Russian bots are spamming shit everywhere all at once, they probably are spamming conspiracy theories cus GOSH is it a fertile ground for запудрити ватнікам і бумерам мізки"

I have one crazy conspiracy theory that I 100% believe in, and it's it's that:

Russia created and spread most of those "flat earth" "lizard people" "harmful vaccines" "fluorite water" "5G" conspiracies (And hundreds of other "trust no one, everything's fake"-type conspiracies) through the sheer amount of bots that they have, on Facebook and other social media. I genuinely believe it's the Russian propaganda machine that started and fueled those "Flat Earth"- type conspiracies, either as an experiment to see how susceptible people are to propaganda, or as a means of making people not trust scientist or anyone around them and start arguing that "Maybe 2+2 isn't 4? Maybe we should question things like that?".

I genuinely,

in my heart of hearts,

believe,

that the "Flat Earth" theory started with two russian trolls betting on a bottle of vodka and a 500 rubles after one of them said:

"I could convince those bitches that the earth is flat if I wanted to!"

And the other said:

"Nah, Vasia. You're drunk. They may be stupid but not that stupid"

And the first said:

"You don't believe me? *hiccups* I'll show ya! I bet my whole next month's salary to you!"

That is my conspiracy theory. That it's Russia who mostly creates crazy conspiracy theories about world control, mind control and distrust... in order to control people, influence their minds and make them distrust everything.

I mostly post my drawings here but i really wanted to share this Honey Jar label i made for a college assignment a few years back. My teacher didnt really like it for some reason but im actually very happy with how it turned out + i really love all the bees and bumblebees so this was a blast to make ^^

I dont know how often i will be able to post but i`ll try to stay active

This game is literally so beautifull. I hope it will get picked up by another comapany/studio. It has the potential to become a masterpiece and a hudge success. I want it to be real so bad. And people were working on it for so long too :/ Here is the link to a petition

Project Dragon / Everhaven

I heard about Project Dragon aka Everhaven on Twitter/X through game artist Nicholas Kole's social media posts. It looked like a very interesting game; choosing from a variety of fictional races besides humans, taming animal mounts, building our own land and exploring the world. I was surprised by how close it was to being announced before Phoenix Labs canceled the game weeks before release.

I want to see it brought back and finished! #BringBackProjectDragon! Spread the word!
