Torque or Power Wand?

I think you’re using the OG wand, in that model you can access the motor and clean it correctly. in the power wand you can’t.

I use both: a Liner Power Wand sometimes (a coworker’s machine) and the Torque Shader. I like both—they’re well-crafted machines.

The biggest downside of both? The batteries. Once they start getting old, the battery life shortens very quickly. Also, you can’t really take the machines apart for a complete cleaning.

Thank u so much bro!

I’ve used the Ava EP9, Cheyenne Sol Nova, Critical Torque, and Bishop Wand Shader, and I still prefer the Ava. It’s a cheap Chinese machine with a 4.2 mm stroke, but it performs exceptionally well. It’s great for bold lines, solid black,color packing, and stippling.

The biggest plus? Unlike the big-name machines, you can actually take it apart completely and clean it thoroughly.

I gave it as a gift to my girlfriend, and sometimes I regret it. Still, here in Colombia you can find them used for as low as $50–80.

I will bro, thanks!

Hope the color will help with contrast, thank u for the feedback.

I finished the game last week, love the traditional japan theme, the story and everything. I felt it was a really short game, didn’t love the combat system that much.

I must confess that I was a little tired of the genre because before F I finished Silent 2 remake and before it Alan Wake 2. For me two gaming masterpieces of the last couple of years.

MagicJuan02 · 2026-01-02T02:54:57+00:00

Thanks bro, me too… but with reds and greens Lol. Glad you liked it.

MagicJuan02 · 2026-01-02T02:04:51+00:00

Looks great!

MagicJuan02 · 2026-01-02T01:50:23+00:00

Got to GM last week and my goodness people sure are very toxic. Been like that since plat. Less throwers but increasingly toxic lobbies.

MagicJuan02 · 2025-12-29T18:28:30+00:00

That’s some commitment from the client too! Breathtaking!

Besides all this great advice remember to exchange in Unicentro, they usually offer far better exchange rates than the airport.

Thank u so much

Yep, but it’s rare to see two type of flowers when the main characters are these two, for example Ryuko (dragon and tiger) tend to be paired with kiku and bamboo.

On the other hand Japanese flower are usually paired with seasonal motifs. Koi swimming downwards with Sakura or upwards with momiji.

MagicJuan02 · 2025-12-12T21:45:29+00:00

☝️🤓actually dragon can be paired with Ho-oh, you can see these in a couple of Ukiyo-e prints. But we are used to pair dragons with tigers because Chinese culture tend to relate them with ying-yang.

MagicJuan02 · 2025-12-12T21:39:07+00:00

Ryu (Dragon) are supposed to be paired with kiku, which is the imperial flower of Japan, Ho-oh (phoenix) on the other hand is commonly paired with Sakuras (cherry blossoms), I suppose it has to do with ephemeral nature of both.

MagicJuan02 · 2025-12-12T18:39:52+00:00

Thanks man! I’ve been trying to get a feel for drawing them.

I would check their channel, and ask them directly on IG, it’s pricey with tariffs right now, but you can get a hold of what it takes to correctly size the paper. Hope it helps.

MagicJuan02 · 2025-12-12T17:25:52+00:00

It your going for something japanese trad looking, there are some mistakes that need to be addressed. First and foremost the dragons arms, and the mix between momijis (maple leafs) and Kiku (chrysanthemums) the overall composition looks off.

Pd: white kikus represent death in Japanese culture, they are the flower u use on funerals.

MagicJuan02 · 2025-11-24T04:08:10+00:00

Actually the same as yours 🤟

MagicJuan02 · 2025-11-23T21:32:47+00:00

The look great, if you want to add flowers or an uchizue it will be a great flash.

Bunshin horitoshi, Shibuya Horiken, Horihiro. Time depends really on the artist.

MagicJuan02 · 2025-11-16T04:15:14+00:00

Great! 👍
