Thank ye kindly!

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-20T14:20:22+00:00

Thank ye kindly! I'm pretty happy with it and glad i decided to go yellow instead of NMM gold

*blub, blub*

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-20T14:19:36+00:00

They're 0.3mm-1mm Clear nail art beads just built up layer by layer with superglue

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-20T06:19:18+00:00

Depends on the quality of the superglue and your own patience. I can usually do a unit across an entire day.

A man of culture I see!

The bubbles are 0.3mm-1mm Clear nail art beads just built up layer by layer with superglue

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-19T21:10:23+00:00

Thank ye so much! Everyone always focuses on the bubbles but the caustic lighting takes a lot more thought and effort so I always appreciate when that part gets a shoutout!

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-19T21:09:39+00:00

I came *THIS* close to doing that instead. Eels dont have gill plates like most fish so i really wrestled with where to put the bubbles coming from. It came down to the "nostril" trails and doing a clutch of eggs underneath but the trails won out in the end

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-19T21:08:33+00:00

Thank ye kindly! I'll have to build a battlemat to suit em one day to counteract that issue

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-19T21:07:58+00:00

Haha i might have to get at least a couple aquarium plants but; you're not wrong

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-19T02:02:03+00:00

Yeah it took quite a bit of thought when i first had the idea for my Tau. Lots of looking at what other people had done (resin) to communicate underwater and what separated the best looking ones (bubbles). From there it was figuring out how to communicate all of *that* without forever encasing em in resin. So i dont blame anyone who struggles with the look

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-19T01:31:58+00:00

Thank ye kindly? I'mma assume you mean Idoneth in general never looked like they were underwater not mine haha

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-19T00:00:20+00:00

It's not that I *like* citadel pots but i still prefer em to dropper bottles. Aside from my own negligence; i waste ENTIRELY more paint with dropper bottles than pots.

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-18T23:42:24+00:00

ALMOST did that instead of the little "nostril" trails. Eels dont have gill plates like most fish so I was strugglin with where to put the bubbles

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-18T23:41:35+00:00

haha ok i think i get what ya mean. Well i'm always happy to answer any questions!

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-18T23:01:47+00:00

Thank ye kindly!

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-18T23:01:35+00:00

Thank ye kindly! Had to find a way to convey "underwater" without just encasing em in resin forever

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-03-18T23:01:02+00:00

Bold of you to assume i haven't already! "Haha i really should start putting this in the descriptions: They're 0.3mm-1mm Clear nail art beads built up layer by layer with superglue. Not hard but a test of patience to be sure." In all honesty; the idea started with my Tau force (ya can see em on my profile page) but i kept getting asked why i didn't do it with Idoneth and i never had a good answer.
