Hi all,
I’ve painted some miniatures from one of my board games. It’s the King of the Forest with two dogs and a bird, all grown out of the woods. I really enjoyed painting them, organic shapes and vibrant natural colours make me happy. Would love to hear what you think.
The whole crew together:
Some pictures of the miniatures by themselves:
AMA about painting miniatures, always happy to chat about that!
[off topic question: I see a lot of people including image descriptions in text for accessibility purposes. Is there a benefit to doing that instead of/in addition to including alt text with the images, which - if I understand it correctly - will be picked up by screenreaders?]
afaik the purpose of text descriptions does tend to be for accessibility, as you’ve mentioned. i don’t believe (though i could be wrong) that there’s any other reasons for that.
That’s what I figured, then unless someone comes and contradicts that I’ll just leave the image description in the alt text. Thanks!
Screenreader should be able to pick up any alt text and read it out loud - shame that it’s not shown in the tooltip for non-screenreader users here on Lemmy. (There is a clarification for screenreader that textual description (alt text) is bound to the certain image instead of staying in a separate paragraph.)
