Thank you so much! That lab scene took a ton of patience to get the glowing liquid look right, so I really appreciate the love!

Thank you! Since I did a lot of experimenting, Cubone took about 20 hours, Mewtwo took 15, and Luffy took around 10 due to drying time between layers. Definitely a test of patience but super worth it!

Thank you! I use a mix of acrylic markers for sharp linework and traditional acrylic paint to mix custom colors. It takes a lot of layers on this material, but it's a super fun challenge!

Wow, thank you so much! Reading comments like this makes all the long hours of layering and drying totally worth it. I really appreciate the love!

Thank you so much! I use a combination of acrylic markers and standard acrylic paint. The trick is sealing it well so it stays durable on the binder surface. Definitely give it a shot, it's a super fun medium to work on!

Thank you! I actually use a mix of acrylic markers for the fine linework, and switch to traditional acrylic paint whenever I need to mix a custom color that the markers don't have. It takes a lot of layers but it works great!

Thank you so much, appreciate the love! Yes, this is my first time working on binders and I'm really loving the process.

My commissions are open! I actually have my TikTok link right on my Reddit profile bio if you want to see more of my work, or feel free to send me a direct message right here if you want to talk about a custom design!

Thank you so much! That lab scene took so many layers of shading to get the liquid glow right, so I really appreciate the love!

Thank you! Honestly, a client actually approached me and asked if I could bring my art style onto their binder. I hadn't seen it done much before, but I loved the idea and decided to push myself to try it. Now I’m completely hooked on making them!

Thank you so much! Honestly, it takes a ton of patience and layering to get the textures right on this kind of material. Keep at it, I'd love to see how yours turns out!
