FireKraken Tries to Make Other Stuff!

Hi everyone! While Spritestitch was down, I decided to try my hand at other crafts to see what I would like.
The Michaels by my house just got diamond painting sets. They had a Starry Night set, which i had to instantly grab and work on. I nearly finished it in a week, only a few sections remaining (I'll post a picture soon). It was a lot of fun, but managing the tiny rhinestones with four cats around was a bit of a challenge. They did not like my solution of locking then out of the craft room.
I also really got into miniature painting to use in my Dungeons and Dragons game sessions. I use pokemon figures for the monsters the party fights, but the paint jobs look really bad on most of them. I wanted to fix some of them up and was amazed how they came out.
I started with pikachu. The one on the left is what they used to look like and the one on the right was a good model to match
The ones on the white paper were the ones I painted, looking way better than before. Only 200+ more pokemon to fix
I bought a painting set with figures to try to really learn proper technique. This is the first one I've done, a skeleton archer. He looks so much better than I thought I could manage! I never thought I had any painting skill, but these figures have helped boost my confidence, taught me some great techniques, and were lots of fun to do.
I'll share more pics as I work to fix horrifying pokemon figures and make them recognizable again.
