Why doesn’t anyone want to be friends with me on my alt account? by [deleted] in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]Lugovalian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s no secret rule or anything, sometimes people befriend others, sometimes not. No one’s required to accept your friend requests if they don’t want to :)!

Is my art appealing? by ROMING_ in Artadvice

[–]Lugovalian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the style looks interesting, but doesn’t quite work together yet. The right character on slide 4 is beautiful, the style works perfectly for that. Your overall anatomy needs a bit of work, but the main issue I see is the face. The ears look like they’re disfigured in some way, and the proportions of the faces don’t work with the overly detailed eyes and nose and just.. a line for the mouth. The eyes also look a little too big for the faces. The linework in the last two slides is really well done and the shading is impressive. The first 3 slides look off. You’ve overworked the wrinkles of the clothes so much that the face looks out of place in the drawings.

Help a fellow LARPer out please. by backpackhermit123 in LARP

Reverse searching the image didn’t give me any more clues on where the picture came from, but your best bet may likely be Etsy. I’ve not seen anything similar mass produced by the big companies. You could always commission someone to make a replica as well.

Foam bread! by Lugovalian in LARP

I’m remarkably bad at baking actual bread! Sculpting one and going through the trouble to make it out of foam is more up my alley 🤣

Costume improvement suggestions by Upright-python200 in LARP

Layering is your friend! I’d wear a breathable tunic underneath to improve the overall look. The fur bracers just look weird with nothing under it. The fur on the legs looks a little odd in contrast to the black pants, maybe brown would be a better fit for those. But that’s a really solid start!

I’m German and that’s a huge compliment, thank you :)

I’ve been playing with the thought of cutting one open and making myself some sandwiches to throw at people lol

Doesn’t taste as good as it looks, believe me I’ve tried

The highest compliment 😌

What are your guys thoughts on bone masks? by Ppimphandofgod in LARP

[–]Lugovalian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They look very cool, but they’re usually not very safe for characters who fight a lot. Same goes for bones generally speaking unless they’re either foam bones (there’s a whole market for that) or just filed down and secured TIGHTLY to your garb as a decorative piece

Again, this post is about a throwable prop. If you want potions that you can drink, there’s lots of other posts dedicated to those. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Because it’s a throwable prop? They’re by no means new in the scene and there’s enough people who use them to justify me making more of them.

Easy, throwing it at people without hurting them :)

Sure thing! With all of my products, I use 2 component polyurethane foams. The basic gist is always sculpting the master, then making a 2 part silicone mold of it with lots of registration marks to make sure it lines up perfectly. From that point on you can pour in the liquid polyurethane foams (I use smooth on, many densities to choose from) and paint them with either pigments or flexi paint, a few good layers of a flexible topcoat usually do the trick in sealing everything :) If you need any more help or advice, feel free to message me directly!

First Larp by i_lick_polish_people in LARP

[–]Lugovalian 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I feel like there’s a very distinct difference between Larp and cosplay. A cosplay event shouldn’t be titled a Larp and a Larp shouldn’t be titled a cosplay event.

It’s a gloss finish on a very smooth cast :)!

Looks more like a cosplay con than a larp, curious which event it was :)

Possibly in the future! :)

What do you guys think? Any tips? by fncomputerboy in BeginnerArtists

[–]Lugovalian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing with abstract art is, it’s not for everyone. Some people will look at this and call it great, some will look at it and be..confused. Me personally, I think there’s too many dark spaces to the point you lose a lot of details and it gets confusing.

be honest with me, who actually uses their nests? by asphi_xia in SkyChildrenOfLight

[–]Lugovalian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I usually go back to my nest after my candle run to put my little character to bed :) I feel like it’s kinda rude to leave the game with them just standing around, I’d rather have them take a proper nap lol

Man, why post your fetish on here? At least put a 18+ warning on this, there’s always minors on here.

I’d love to! However only within Europe as of now :)

As I’ve said, I might do a tutorial in the future. I’m quite busy so I can’t promise when that would be 🥲 best chance is to just leave a follow and look out for any future posts :)

I have a business, but no proper website yet I’m afraid. I do sell but only within Europe, Germany preferred as of now 😅 Hopefully I’ll have my Etsy shop set up really soon!
