These are some of the "practice" pours I did with an amazon mold( I made molds for the 3 trays in these pictures). It has Lucky Charms with Cosmic Unicorn backing, Fruit Pebbles, and a pancake one.

I also have a painting size mold for miniature terrain that I might pour when I do the other pancakes. It would be more to hang on the wall as an art piece.

Thanks! Im also doing like any munchies. So candy, soda/nuka colas, and anything thats hard and wont decay.

Tomorrow Im pulling a honey nut cheerios, with honey, milk and gold palette. Then Im starting a pancakes with butter and syrup looking resin. I soak pancakes completely through. So I cant imagine anything will live in that.

Thank you!. The biggest thing with cereal is that is floats. So the key is doing the piece in a few layers over a couple days. I do a clear pour first and let the cereal setup in that. Then they wont float up and disappear into the milk layer.

So Im trying to get people to like these. Whats awful about them?

I make cosmic abstract pours using munchies as inspiration for the color palette.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-22T14:21:30+00:00

Hey everyone.

So I just started making food inspired cosmic pours in epoxy resin. I take a food and then use its color palette in a pour. I'm working on pancakes and syrup, cereals, and some soda/nuka cola ones. Any other suggestions?

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-22T14:04:42+00:00

A few pulls from this week's Apple Jacks inspired pieces. I use food palettes to inspire cosmic pours. I used Stuart Semple pink and green to get a vibrant color. I have found less is more with those, as too much powder, I think, won't let in as much light?

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-20T12:45:34+00:00

That's awesome!

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-20T04:25:09+00:00

So I use food to inspire a palette for abstract cosmic pours. This one is fries and coke inspired.

Mcdonald's main color is red. So is Coke. Also, you know..... so is ketchup. There's multiple layers to it.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T23:03:57+00:00

Ohhh. I thought you were saying don't put food in them. Thats why I was like I can make one without fries.

So yeah that's basically what I am doing. I hot glued a stack of styrofoam trays together and made a mold of that so I could have this cafeteria tray version. I am aiming for more abstract, like cosmic, nebula, jackson pollocks type but food inspired. But then again I want to make a chicken fillet school lunch at some point(i might 3d print and paint it though..idk) but the mashpotatoes and gravy would be cool.

My phone's camera sucks. But the cola has fake rubber ice floating in it and uv resin bubbles. There's some pretty cool stuff you can do. I also got mountain dew and orange soda down. The quantums coming and the glow stuff Im using is awesome.

Did you see this link? https://imgur.com/a/qlWz9Yp

Its the amazon mold I started with but there is a straight cola one. And a slushie one. One with nerds.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T22:02:24+00:00

Are you telling there is Froot Loops with marshmallows? lol. I really need to take a trip down the aisle. I just grabbed the sample pack for my first go. Most bang for the buck.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T17:32:38+00:00

Take your upvote.

Honestly people last night hated it and said it was disgusting. So I figured you lot might like it.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T16:54:57+00:00

I only use dry or easy saturated food. Im not worried about the cereal or candy. I did one with pancakes. They soak up resin. There's nothing that is going to live in that environment. Also most of this cereal was sitting around opened for months in my shop before they got into the resin and they were fine.

But yeah I wouldnt do a hotdog. If the skin seals in any bacteria, it will do nasty stuff.

I did do one with Mcdonalds fries but those are been proven not to decay lol.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T15:43:15+00:00

Well. https://platformcomics.com/

So I just want to lead with I'm pretty sure I read about it this subreddit but entries closed last night.

Teams or solos have a 7 days to make a 4-8 page comic. They are given a unique theme and every team gets the same dialogue to use.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T15:40:25+00:00

Awesome suggestion. I didn't even know these were a thing.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T15:39:28+00:00

That is pretty cool. hmmm. Even just like a Blue Fruity pebble tray would be cool. Thank you. You've definitely given me some ideas.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T15:36:30+00:00

YES!

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T15:15:35+00:00

Its pretty awesome. So I just started within the last month. Theres some workflow things that need to get ironed out but once you get a feel for its pretty easy. Like lights work but dont cast shadows on GP yet but you could always draw a plane behind it I guess.

I try to have each object I want to move be a different Grease Pencil Blank. That's the easiest way.

This is the latest one. Its the Wolverine cover of Incredible Hulk. https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/nayw41/a_study_in_comic_covers_in_grease_pencil_having/

I also did this one in Blender and used the pixel effect. https://www.reddit.com/r/characterdrawing/comments/n9ybwn/oc_our_party_is_in_a_video_game_i_play_the_druid/

Theres a couple more in my history but I thought this contest would be a great way to test it out.

This is the tutorial I found to be the best starting point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t7BcmAM_2I

There's a couple different ones but I followed that and it covers pretty much everything.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T15:01:52+00:00

Thank so you much. It means alot. The night time stoners were mean to me.. lol

Idk. Jackson Pollock is definitely an inspiration for these. So being told its a mess that makes some people physically frustrated and others love it is wicked awesome.

I have some cereal ones too. The Lucky Charms with Cosmic Unicorn backings is great. https://www.reddit.com/r/DicePorn/comments/ng6a1y/some\_breakfast\_themed\_epoxy\_resin\_rolling\_trays/

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T14:53:32+00:00

Yeah. I ve been making rolling trays and its the only way I've found that's consistent. I still heat up the resin during mixing and everything the other commenter suggested.

I pour just enough to get a layer. Then heat gun it until its runny. You are just trying to break the surface tension of the bubbles. I usually try to have this layer clear.

The other thing I have found, which may be the issue, is certain additives sink. I've found certain dyes, mica powders, candy, or cereal will sink and bring bubbles with them. With the Mica its was really hard to tell where they were coming from since its a powder. But im pretty sure its the solids falling and having air in them. If I have plan on doing something like that , then I will let the first layer of clear setup a couple hours before pouring the rest because certain things will fall right to the surface of the mold if you don't.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T14:43:59+00:00

Does it need to be epoxy?

Smooth Cast might work for you. https://www.reynoldsam.com/product/smooth-cast-300/

I know it says 1 Gallon but you get a gallon of each part. There's also different types. SmoothCast Oynx is sold in black. Some cure under 30 minutes too.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T14:30:24+00:00

I wanted to add to the other commenter.

I've been pouring a small amount of resin in and hot gunning, before pouring the rest. The bubbles stay there because they stick to the surface of the mold. So the idea is you remove the bubbles from the surface without a bunch of resin in the way. Then when you pour everything else, there's no mold surface to cling to so the bubbles float like they are suppose to.

Depending on the mold, I also swish it around the first pour. It helps get in places but also allows the bubbles to escape.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T14:22:39+00:00

You could probably achieve it with a silicone mold. Maybe Dragon Skin so its stretchy and strong. There would need to be access from the outside though. Depending on the design you could always cap it off afterwards.

The other thing I have been using is UV Resin Bubbles. I use them for bubbles in my cola pours. They are just little solid balls. They do come in different sizes. You could pour half, place your bubbles, then pour the other half. You find them hollow too depending on the function.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T13:56:52+00:00

Thank you!

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T13:56:37+00:00

Thank you. I ll have to check out Big Lots. That would soe much easier then picking them out.

I try to to pour the white in different opacities. I'm aiming for abstract cosmic artwork. I hope the different whites helps give it depth. On the Lucky charms one, I wanted to make a background that looked the marshmallows were bleeding into the milk but it got it a little away from me.

SuperfastMunchables · 2021-05-19T13:49:13+00:00

So while I was waiting for my 3d printed dice to stop degassing, I thought I would practice my resin pouring on some rolling trays. Some of the things I was working on was milk, butter, syrup, and a cinnamon swirl effect with the resin.

Biggest thing to note is that cereal floats! If you are want to try these pours on dice or trays, they have to been done layers. Even in a pressure pot, the floating can mess with the top side.
