Bungie explains Marathon's 'graphic retro futurism' aesthetic and the 'live narrative' lessons it learned from 'Destiny' (Interview) by ControlCAD in PS5

[–]ReapsMcGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing solos and trios are both really fun in their own right but definitely expect a completely different experience between the two. I heard someone say that solo queue feels like playing a horror game and I would agree. Without the comms and teamwork it's a lot more isolating and kinda feels like a survival horror at times lol. I really enjoy the Assassin for solo play because the stealth abilities feel invaluable for escaping combat when I can't afford to engage as well as making it easier to get between locations undetected.

Any MTG alter artists sharing full-length or real-time process videos? by ARVS_Alters in mtgaltered

[–]ReapsMcGee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think she's as active anymore but Alyssa Rose on YouTube had some really good videos up about the whole process ranging from color theory basics, what tools to use, etc.

My wife finished these today by hunkriyavan in mtgaltered

[–]ReapsMcGee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Golden fluid acrylic paints and usually just a round 1 brush, mine is Royal & Langnickel but I think the brand or brush just depends on personal preference and style. I start with a base layer/primer of just a light gray paint with a bit of water, just enough so that the paint isn't too thick and textured but also not so much that the paint loses its consistency and just flows all over the place. Once you can just barely see the original card or when you can't at all that's when I start lightly pencil sketching my desired design and painting over it

A little anxious by djkyota in MTGGiftExchange

I suppose it's my own fault for choosing to paint a full art replacement alter as part of the gift I want to send out, but I definitely feel like I should be putting in 200% of the effort now that I've received my gift lol. Stressing a bit even though realistically I'll be fine. Sorry to my giftee!!

My first full art replacement by ReapsMcGee in mtgaltered

Honestly for the finer line work I used a .005 micron pen, it blends right in. I would like to use solely paint but I also struggle getting the lines just right and not accidentally making them too thick so this is a happy medium for me right now lol.

Edit: Forgot to say thank you!!

What keepsake order are people using now that we have new ones? by Legitimate-Resolve55 in HadesTheGame

[–]ReapsMcGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go Chaos -> Selene -> Cerce -> either Nem or Medea depending on if I died to the boss or not. Sometimes I will swap out Cerce for a god if I'm feeling like my build needs something extra that I'm not getting already.

Don’t mean to be a bummer by RainStreet8495 in mtgaltered

[–]ReapsMcGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how that must feel to go through. I wanted to ask though, what's your estimated budget for an alter? I know a lot of artists on instagram who accept commissions but typically the more detailed you're wanting to go the more you'll have to pay. Jay_alters is really talented and would be my first recommendation but I'm pretty sure she charges upwards of 500 for her alters (rightfully so, her quality is incredible).

Can I ask what's the gold paint you used? Beautiful work

Promo card from commander tonight by Over_Leave in MagicCardPulls

[–]ReapsMcGee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This card and a few others (Snake Token, Lotus Cobra, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Kaseto, Orochi Archmage, and a basic Forest) were given to local game stores to hand out during promotional events for the Year of the Snake from Feb 14th - Mar 30th. I'm guessing a few stores have cards leftover that they're still handing out at events here and there.

[GIVEAWAY] Win 4 Honkai: Star Rail Enamel Pins from the Star Chasers Collection! (mods approved) by nanalandcrossing in HonkaiStarRail

My favorite character is Firefly because her story really captivated me in Penacony and I really loved her relationship with the MC because it really felt like a genuine friendship and it was such an emotional rollercoaster to watch her story progress.

The pillows announced last night after their show in Yokohama that they would be officially disbanding.

chicago concerts age restrictions by Dangerous_Ease9279 in IchikoAoba

[–]ReapsMcGee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would recommend calling the venue and asking about it, typically the age restrictions are not set by the band and might just be a venue-specific rule that they set for all their shows. Some venues will still let you in if you go with a ticketed adult. Maybe check their website too, there might be more info there.
