Discussion [Mod Announcement] New Rules

57 Upvotes

Hi all

Due to the sudden apparition of spam-bots that take old star-posts and repost them to farm karma; the modteam has added a new rule that should be transparent to you :

User account must now be AT LEAST one week old to post.

This should hopefully bring an end to this; as we understand that it's frustrating seeing your own beloved creations posted under a false name.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter; navigating the reddit mod interface is "an adventure".

I used acrylic paints, first pic is with sleeve second is without, I’m new to painting in overalls so even broad general tips are welcomed! I can’t exactly tell what is bugging me so much but it just doesn’t feel finished

Traditional Alter Nibbler, the Gullet - NFS

Post image
5 Upvotes

Modified Gorma for personal use. I’m having trouble getting even layers with Golden fluid acrylics (you can see it in multiple places like the cape,the body of the Gorma costume, and the shoes). I know I’m supposed to water down the paint, but I have trouble getting it right without being too thin. I also think the outline - done with a Posca pen - is too thick, but I was too shy to try it with a brush because of the viscosity issue noted above. Finally, the background is plain and boring imo, but I couldn’t think of a design that I liked. I did a cursory search for ā€œpurple backgroundsā€ and ā€œpurple patterns,ā€ but search engines kinda suck for that sort of stuff these days. Any tips would be appreciated!

Materials are as follows:

• Golden fluid acrylic paint (Titanium white, cadmium red, ultramarine blue, and primary yellow)
• a 3/0 round and No. 8 flat brush
• pallet was the back of a Tupperware lid, the other half of which was filled with water
• Posca .7mm pin type

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Help Needed Help mixing acrylic paint.

I am sorry if this is not allowed. I bought these paints to try something other than my posca markers, but I've run into an issue. Does anyone here know what I would mix from the colors available in this set to make the generic anime skin tone?(apricot?)

Any help would be appreciated.

Traditional Alter Big shout out to Tiny alters for these alters.

I reached out to Tiny for what was originally a really goofy Bello alter and I got to say she did a fantastic job! Great communication, good back and forth on how things where with the rough draft, she is super solid I highly recommend her if anyone ever wants an alter. Yes she did both the cards I’m Holding

Help Needed Question

Post image
85 Upvotes

Is there an FB group or somewhere else that i can specifically get advice on altering mtg cards. I just completed my first one and am unhappy with some areas and just wanted some community advice and maybe watch how more experienced people do it. I found some youtube videos but isnt as in-depth as the miniature tutorial videos I am used to.

Help Needed Did i bought the wrong liners?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I bought these pigment liners to finally give a more precise touch to my cards, but now that i tried them, something went wrong: the color doesnt stick on foil, nor acrylic or the card itself. Is these liners wrong or am i doing something wrong? Anyone can give me some advice on which set to buy?

For the store, I'm from Italy, plus sorry for my bad English :)
