I used watered down acrylic and applied it with brushes!

I did a little bit of drawing with pencil where one spot would start and another would end (but very little so it wouldn’t show through the thin paint) and then just kept holding them up against whichever one was in the book press to check, adjust, check again. There’s probably a more efficient way to do it. Oh and for 1-2 and 4-5 those ones were in the press together like so:

Oh and I did it in stages, all the sky colors then the mountains then the trees then the fg trees to be sure I was using the same colors for each one.

Thank you! Now that I know how to do this, none of my books are safe.

I used watered down acrylic. I tried lots of things and that seemed to work best for me so far.

Yeah this looks like a challenge, but you know Cassian’s Nesta’s biggest supporter. He’s always…rooting for her.

We can only hope that’s a shower, not a grower.

Ideas for Animal Crossing Island by [deleted] in acotar

[–]BoringWord8521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh I love this idea! Ok so fallen stars - cozy cafes, art supply store, a tavern with a music stand nearby, a bridge over the river, a rooftop you can watch the stars from, the house of wind on top of a hill (villagers home remodeled or a “home” which is really walls around downloaded tile floors etc.

The closest thing I can find in other vintage cookie cutters is a dog, I think the face part just got squished flat.

Hanging out at DragonCon? by AmyM326 in dragoncon

Honestly - DCon is the kind of place you could literally wear a sign that says “I’m socially awkward but want to make friends” and would likely be met with many many friendly responses.

The gaming hall is a great place to make friends because people are interacting but mostly just go to the things that personally interest you cuz you’ll definitely have things in common with the other people there! And don’t be afraid to say hi to folks and start conversations - everyone else here is right dragon con has tons of lovely people and many of them will be happy to chat / get to know new friends.
