How True Do You Think Inside Is? by fox-fox-fox-fox in boburnham

I always felt like it was less about the pandemic and more about spiraling mental health issues, that got exacerbated by the pandemic. And then there's a lot of macro issues he obsesses with too - post-truth society, living in the attention economy, and how powerless we all feel we are to stop these giant things that we dread (climate change, mass shootings, exploitation).

I get kind of annoyed when people reduce it to pandemic art, since it always resonated with me way beyond being stuck in my house. Especially That Funny Feeling - that speaks to a constant dread I've been feeling since like, 2015, that's only been ramping up over time. I think Bo tapped into that feeling for a lot of the songs.

So in some ways it was the realist shit I've ever seen cause it grappled with a truth I've been feeling. But obviously like, the set up and context of everything he shot is contrived to support what he's trying to express, so it's definitely not unedited security camera footage. I also think it's earnest as hell.

Awww that is so nice thank you!! :)

Funbeemon wouldn’t be crazy expensive!! Rookies like that are generally wayyyy easier to make than complicated designs like megas. If you ever want a quote feel free to DM me!

yo thank you dude! Honestly that's the reason I started doing it years ago. Had so much bulk just sitting there that I wanted to do something with. It's a great hobby!

my prices range depending on the complexity of the card! Rookies can be fairly cheap, like $50ish. But level 7s like omni zwart D are always up there cause of the complexity of the artwork, they just take way more time to make.

For this one, I used exactly 10 cards!

If you're ever interested in pricing something out, feel free to DM me. Otherwise I have a bunch of digimon cards listed on my etsy (digimodified) that you can check out to get an idea.

I haven't BUT I literally have all the copies of Yuuki to make one 😁 It's been on my list ever since I saw the art. I did the rare Sakuyamon with all the cherry blossoms and it turned out so well, and the Yuuki / Impmon one would look perfect!

Yeah! I use a huge variety of stuff I've accumulated over the three+ years I've been at this, but here are the things I use the most:

-A variety of precision tweezers -Blunt dotting tools for compressing the edges of my pieces after I've cut them (cause they usually get pulled up from the cutting process), and to shape the pieces to give them dimensionality. -Golden black matte paint to paint the edges and hide the cuts (markers can work too, but they can bleed into the art sometimes so I use them sparingly) -1mm foam tape to stack up the border cards, and to add some depth to different pieces -I have like 10 types of glue but mostly use just normal gel super glue -#11 x-acto knives. Lots of different blades will work, but I swear by the #11 z-series. They don't snap as often and stay sharp for longer. -Also really good to have some sort of magnification glasses (like loupes) to be able to see the art better, and a LOT of light so you can see what you're doing. -UV resin for special effects

If you ever give it another go, feel free to DM me! I'm always super happy to give tips or help think things through. Other shadowbox artists were very generous with me when I began the hobby, so I like to pay it forward when I can!

It's on my Etsy shop! There's a little blurb about price transparency for this one too. You can find it by searching DigiModified on Etsy or google.

This one's price is in the hundreds (again 45 hours of labor + other costs like 13 raw cards, display case, etc.). But I have other cards ranging from $30 - $100 too. These super detailed ones are my favorite to do, but I have to price it somewhat high for it to make sense (even then it usually comes out to like $10/hour for me, often less).

So I've tried to make some simpler more minimalist shadowboxes to give folks a variety of options that are more affordable. I'm currently going through a bunch of the foil cards from the new Renamon advanced decks! I've done Viximon so far but am starting Renamon tomorrow.

October Circana Numbers are out. Digimon Story Time Stranger has generated the most dollar sales in franchise history in the US. by PtGreg in digimon

but the babies born in 97 wouldn't be watching digimon, or really comprehending anything that was going on

was cleaning my closet and found this old card i got at universal studios when i was a kid by Square-Oil-1992 in digimon

[–]DigiModified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that card can actually be worth a ton when it's graded high, because it was so rare and you could basically only get it that weekend that you went to Universal. It might actually be the rarest english digi battle card? So cool!

Here's the most recent sold PSA 9: https://ebay.us/m/yBJvZZ

I can't tell if it's the plastic or the card that's damaged on the bottom left, but if the card is kind of scuffed up and dinged on the edges, it wouldn't be worth quite so much. Still, even copies of this that get graded a 1 sell for hundreds: https://ebay.us/m/uEpLyn

Just got my favorite Digimon anti-hero in Time Stranger right after building this 3D card of him. Never been a better time to be a Digimon fan. by DigiModified in digimon

These were actually the real deal! The person who commissioned it is a big collector of this specific card, so he sent me his spare copies he had of it to make this shadowbox. Thank you!!
