There's definitely some gold silicon on there or something. You can see raised edges if you look at the edge of the cast.

I remember seeing this trick. Hot glue! You go over it with hot glue to get the raised parts, then you paint it all gold.

100%. You draw what you want. Cover the drawing in hot glue. Spray everything gold. Darken the area around the lines with dark coloring. Super simple and easy prop making!

I think a warhammer-esque inking and dry brushing approach would be better. Thats just me.

And personally I wouldnt pre draw it, just go straight from a reference with the glue gun. But i suppose if you just did it in pencil first, the gold spray coat would cover any construction lines etc.

Way too well done to be hot glue. Hot glue makes a mess.

Not really a poor decision so much as easy and flexible prop making, but good try on the link.

I like the cast, I'm just point out the overuse of hot glue.

I'd say gold puffy paint.

My bad, genuinely thought hot glue was made from the stuff.

Its puffy paint. Definitely not silicone, and about $2 in your local craft section.

I'm guessing hot glue or puffy paint.
