Trying to gauge interest in participating in The Cerulean Project this year. The color would be yellow, this would probably be the last year of it. Would like to go out on a bang. Let me know are you in or not!

Hey all, I’ve sent out two emails. One went to 2024 alumni with a copy of the digital book. The other went to everyone and contains a link to submit your entry for 2025. Mine ended up in spam, so check there if you don’t see it.

A large, mostly blue mech standing in a ruined and overgrown structure. The structure appears to me made from a sandy coloured concrete and their are vines and other vegetation working on reclaiming it, to the left of the image you can see 2 flags with alien script being engulfed by the vines. The mecha has a large cannon in place of it's right form arm and is steadying itself against a portion of the ruins with its left hand. The mostly blue armor has white details and some yellow accent (seemingly picking out areas of caution like vents). Accompanying the mecha are to small hubcap shaped drones, one low to the ground on the left of the image is scanning the structure and the other to the right, hovering above the ruins appears to be forming a protective energy shield made of green light.

A close up of the scanner drone, it is white with a black "cap" on the top surrounded by yellow greeblies. It has a green eye on the front emitting a similarly coloured scanning beam aimed at the ruined structure it is investigating.

A close up of the shield drone. It is hovering to the right of the mechs shoulder above a ruined tower. It is white ring with a black sphere suspended in the center, on the sphere are a series of yellow greeblies. bellow the sphere is suspended another white disk with 3 stubby 'legs' protruding from it. The drone appears to be emitting an energy shield formed from clear green hexagons

A close up of the chipped and scared shoulder armor of the mech. Where the armor is dented and pitted you can see a lighter shade of blue peeking through the dark blue top coat. There is an alien design picked out in white running the length of the panel but it too is scratched and scared.

Best of the year? Definitely. Possibly one of the favourite things I've ever done. An Orca battle suit from @pipermakes.bsky.social painted for this years @theceruleanproject.bsky.social definitely not inspired by any well meaning fish people.

Hey all, going to extend the build window to Dec 31st. I know a number of you have been working and life has gotten in the way. This year has been incredibly tough, so I’d like to at least provide an opportunity to end on a high note. Please spread the word and holler with questions.

Hey gang! Lots going on with our current dumpster fire. I hope you are all hanging in there.

I myself, have been struggling incredibly bad. Finishing up a few weeks of treatments and trying to get settled in my country.

I’m going to be more active and need your help with some things.

An arm and torso for a large mech. The arm is painted a dark purplish blue, the torso is mostly grey primer with vents and hatches picked out in yellow and red.

Todays hobby progress. Not quite as much painting as I would have hoped as I am still trying to work out the last few kinks printing clear resin but I managed to give the legs a coat of satin varnish and got a start on the left arm and torso.

Hey ya fam, I’m going to extend the deadline until December 1st. Hope this releves some pressure and I can’t wait to see what you are all cooking.

I’m going to be out of studio for the next 2 weeks. Feel free to reach out to myself or any of the team members with questions you have.

Pretty much done my first project this year for @theceruleanproject.bsky.social I've got paint on everything, the theme colour for this one was of course blue. Just needs a few touch ups and a round of flat coat.

Back once more from the drawing board! tweaked things a lot and have added a few more parts to the mix. I've got forearm chain guns, leg boosters, and extended the shoulder joints to help make the torso look just a little bit wider. @theceruleanproject.bsky.social #gunpla

Just getting settled in my new place, thankfully right before we officially kick off this 5.5 season.

This year, I’d love to feature stories that current and past artists of the cerulean project would like to share about mental health and wellbeing.

If you are interested. Let me know.

Yeah, me too. Sorry for such a delay. To say life has been chaotic would be an understatement. I think revisiting previous colors will be super fun.

An interior shot of a large hardback book spread open showing 2 pages, on the right is a single large image of a custom gunpla figure painted red. On the left are two smaller images showing details from the right hand page and a column of text. The text is illegible in the image, but it gives the name of the piece and the artists (me) handle on instagram as well as a description of the work done and the theme of the piece.

my @theceruleanproject.bsky.social book arrived today. It looks so nice and there are so many amazing pieces in it. I'm proud to have mine be included with them.

Cerulean Project season 5.5 alumni registration email went out today. General registration will open next week.

This year we are doing things a little different. We’ll be revisiting past years colors. Should be a lot of fun and season 6 will be yellow.

We just got our shipment of books in. Magazines got delayed.

The books turned out amazing. Everyone should be super proud of your work, it all looks terrific.

There is a little stock left on the website. There may be damaged books at discount but still TBD.

Thank you everyone!
