Grabbing random minis for different encounters 4 days later; includes Umberhulk mini forgetting previous character specifics…..

I painted a pair of 3D printed Hive Colosuses (Umber Hulks) that had misprinted arms. Models by Artisan Guild

Thirty Ought Six (.30-06) Live, Los Angeles 1995

These dudes were a huge inspiration to me as a young fella. I loved their energy and how fucking weird they sounded - the bass barely registered as bass but as more of a tenor voice, the drummer sounded like a machine gun, the lyrics were incomprehensible, the chords weirdly jazzy, and they were from Portland, which I’d spent very little time in at that point but was kinda fascinated by the grass-is-greener aspect of it. Also they were one of the first bands I’d ever heard anyone use the term “emo” in description of. (I guess, kinda? That never really sat well with me.)

Even though I never met Sean (bass/vox) the news of his passing a few years ago hit me hard. He was the first person of note I could think of who transitioned from playing bass in a band to playing drums in a different band, which is 100% something I wanted to do (still do, tbh).
