Sunshine and Dragons
Ian moved back in with his mom downtown, where he now lives in the sunroom. He hates it because it stays obnoxiously bright and hot, but I love it. My little apartment has too few windows and is always too dark for taking good photos. His place is perfect for them though! I didn't have to make any adjustments to these photos at all!
^ That would be one of Ian's Warhammer figures. He's an awesome painter, no? *evil grin* More on that in a little bit....
My toys playing with his toys:
About Ian's painting skills....he is constantly painting Warhammer figures, and the other day I took my two blank doll heads up there to work on while he was painting figures. Like I figured, Savannah humidity made the pastels look all blotchy, and I was having no luck with the eyebrows or anything. Ian does amaaaaazing detail on his tiny figures, and he offered to take a stab at painting the eyebrows on my doll. And it turned out freakin' AWESOME! He did such perfect, fine little eyebrows! So I am having him finish painting that head for me, and I'll post a picture when he's done. I'm really encouraging him to consider taking some face-up commissions and he's interested in trying it out, if I can convince him he really IS very skilled with it, and if he got some more practice I think he could be phenomenal at it.
A few other little things I must share:
1. I finally had to scream at the top of my lungs at Burger King tonight to get someone to come back to the drive thru window and fix my order, and when one lady finally stormed over she told me "I didn't MAKE your order! GRAHHHH!!!" Like I had personally attacked her by saying they got my order wrong o_O It was bizarre and scary.
2. I played Rock Band for the first time last night. I'm going to assume it's much more fun when one person in the group isn't an attention whore belting the songs at the top of his off-key lungs when other people are trying to do the microphone part. Also probably more fun when people in the group aren't chain smokers and rude and impatient to people like me who have never played before :/ I really almost started crying. I'm such a shy person and I really pushed myself to have a good time with Ian's friends, and kind of got treated like crap the whole night because I'm so clueless about gaming. I'm sorry?
