After posting the very first Persona 5 portrait I did, I asked who people wanted me to do next and the few responses all said Haru. So sorry to keep you waiting but here she is!

This is Mai, she’s going to be 14 this year so I wanted to make a portrait of her.

Posted this on the persona5 sub this morning but forgot to post it here! Blame it on lack of sleep but here is a portrait I drew of her last night.

Somehow Ann ended up being the last girl I drew, though she was the first I dated in the game (though accidentally). Anyways, here is an offering for the church.

Man At Arms is back - they called this an Estoc and said it was a narrow blade for cutting and thrusting. I don’t know a ton about Estocs but I thought they were only for thrusting. So is this an Estoc or a thrusting longsword?

M/38/6’1” [225>195=30lbs] (12 months) Quit smoking, started making better choices. I haven’t really been tracking weight but I randomly found this old picture today and was like “whoa!” Most of the weight lost was probably since the spring but the first photo is one year ago.

Took the advice/ recommendations yesterday into consideration, worked on the lip highlight going with the light source - any other criticism welcome because this style is a ton of fun and something I’d like to commit to (it’s a bit sloppy as I was trying out some new brushes, shout-out to FRENDEN)

This is Mai. She’s going to be 13 next month and looks like a calico cat that was held by the tail and dipped into white paint. She was just a stray kitten when she got stuck in my garage in 2016, exactly one week after my previous cat died. She’s my best bud and is super sweet.

Preparing to draw Ann and looking around and various drawings, I stumbled into an area of the internet that I wish I didn’t know existed. There a LOT of drawings like this. To each their own but I wish for simpler times when I didn’t know about it and now must share so you know too.

One week anniversary of getting my lockpicks- popped an American 1106. Funny thing is I think I had it open for a few minutes and didn’t realize it until I cranked the tension wrench. This is a fun lock!

Back in action - replaced the broken omega spring with one I made from a .020 gauge guitar string, fixed the chips, reprofiled and sharpened with an edge pro and Gritomatic stones. Super sharp, better action than “real” omega springs in my other BM knives and is now officially my favorite knife.

First lock picked, SPP on Master No. 3! I spent an hour with it and got a lucky rake but couldn’t replicate it. So I went to SPP and still had no luck. My daughter wanted to see what I was doing so I showed her how it works and popped it in 5 seconds somehow. Going to spend the night practicing

I now trust my drone - the last picture I posted I shot from closer to the overlook and bit my nails the whole time but now I relished flying right over the river with the potential of absolute drone destruction below me.

PSA: if you like Sky, you’ll like Journey, TGC’s preciously exclusive PlayStation game. A lot of similarities to Sky. But beware, even though it says they are supported the game doesn’t work currently on iPad Air/iPhone 6 generation devices. This is a screenshot from a little earlier today

Anyone who plays on CN servers, how true is this? I was glad to see some CN players commenting that they also feel this is a bad move by Mihoyo but there are also replies from CN players defending this decision. This one made me curious if it might be the reason they manufactured such outrage.

Opinions on what would be more sought out between these three Benchmades, a 943, 950bk-1401 Rift (in s30v) and 9555 auto Rift. Trimming down my collection and would like to sell the one that knife people would likely be the most interested in first.

Still getting over my fear of taking a drone away from being close to me, bit my nails while flying to get this today. We hiked to an overlook and I flew it off and over towards the river bank to get two towns across the Delaware river from one another. I am going back tomorrow to fly over the river

I’ve had an a7ii for about 3-4 weeks now and love using it with adapted old lenses. This was shot with a Vivitar Series 1 70-210 during a walk testing out the macro functionality of the lens. Not bad for a lens from the 70s.

After gutting the Brady lockout I had mentioned I found all standard pins and don’t think it is the Green Belt lock. So I spent some time on the 72/40 - great lock and I’m glad it was on the list. And a great example of practice paying off since I had 0 luck with it last week due to the keyway.

The knife I feared was lost in the mail arrived today. A little TLC (sharpening, pivot screw adjustment) and she is good to go. I have always wanted a 940 and ended up with a 940-1

Lockpick upgrade! Won’t have a chance to try them until tonight but they came two days early. I love the case and the picks feel awesome. Not sure if I want to shrink tube them - has anyone done that and found the case to be much thicker? I like the way this feels in my pocket as-is since it’s thin

Knife collecting is dangerous, and not because they are sharp. My collection since getting into knife collecting 10 weeks ago (except for the Original Bowie that I had since I was a kid)

After three nights of trying to pick it (and the fourth day after starting to pick) I finally got in. However, it was with a city rake. Good because I haven’t been able to successfully rake before now but bad because I wanted to SPP it. Is there a stigma to raking vs. SPP or is that just in my head?

A testament to better tools. Four days and I couldn’t pop this Brady (abus) lockout/tagout with my old cheapo set. Probably not the hardest lock for a lot of you but it sure was hanging me up - I decided to try the Sparrows offset hybrid with one of their tension tools and it opened no problem.

Found this guy today at the park and thought it was really cool! I’m new to mushrooms so I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled. I assume it’s an Amanita something? This is in central NJ and it was under a small stretch of trees that is mostly shady and it had been raining a lot yesterday.

Second and third locks opened. Are these supposed to be harder than the ML No. 3 because they seem easier? I got both for my yellow belt and when the 141 popped after 10 seconds I tried the Brinks and that was even faster. Also made my own tension wrench from a wiper as someone suggested.
