Lord Commander in a Plush Chair
|
This morning I submitted my phd leaving a large part of my life behind me. I'm also unemployed for the first time in my life so hope to start work soon. But first I need a rest, and I'm hoping to make some models again! My work has taken up large chunks of my time over recent years and the last few months have been a total no-go for modelling.
Now I think I can actually have a bit of free time again. I have a converted Inquisitor I want to paint and a Nurgle Sorcerer and other from FW. I have a Baneblade that never got finished and for something more serious a Sturmtiger kit to finish.
Right now, I feel exhausted, but that from here I'll be going in new directions and wanted to share!

Not a Dr yet, I need to pass the 'viva' or interview stage in which I have to defend the work, and it may needs corrections/rewriting afterwards which is fairly normal. But otherwise I'm in a very strong position for having submitted. The absolute worst thing is not to submit, as that would fail me.

Eh, the market is flooded with people doing that; can't go 10 feet without someone offering to recombine some grass for food or spare change. Now an associates from an online art school is something that will take you places.

I would have thought it unlikely unless Eldar/Humans have a common ancestor.
But there's always this.
