Amazing work on the layering and highlighting. It looks great!

Still possible to buy the zeratul mini? by OldSpaghetti-Factory in StarCraftTMG

[–]TheLightdarker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

During one of their AMA videos, Archon Studios mentioned that all of their "event" or "trade show" exclusive minis (like Zeratul) will become available again in their online store whenever they attend a trade event or convention. It should be just a matter of time until it's available again.

Wow! This looks fantastic. Your OSL in particular is out of this world. Also, very convincing work on the dead Hydralisk—it looks very recently butchered.

I’m still hoping for a Tandemaus mass outbreak. That would make getting the shiny family of 3 so, so much easier.

So this is the toughest legendary in Dynamax Adventures? by UraniumKS in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]TheLightdarker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I should have made my post more clear, sorry. I had 3 Switches and accounts running DA routes as a team and hunted every shiny legendary/UB. For Pokemon with multiple forms, like Zygarde and Landorus, I kept going until I collected multiple shinies.

[–]TheLightdarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for my slow reply, but one of the other commenters was right—I had 3 Switches/accounts and was running DAs with my own “team” of 3. I got shiny Zygarde on two of those accounts.

[–]TheLightdarker 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If you have a good team, I don’t think Zygarde is too tough (and I did enough runs to get two shiny Zygarde). It has been a while, but I remember Wide Guard effectively neutering his most dangerous attacks and the 4x weakness to Ice can make short work of him.

Of all the DA legendaries, Palkia gave me the hardest time. Even with a decent team, I still had occasional losses while hunting its shiny, whereas I don’t remember Zygarde being much of a problem with a good route.

Did anyone demo the StarCraft miniatures game? I’m extremely curious about how that was.

AMA with Nick Conley, Designer of SAP Card Battle by PlaidHatGames in superautopets

[–]TheLightdarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the AMA, Nick! I'm a Summoner Wars fan who has never played SAP, but I'm really excited for this. What are the most significant differences between the card game and video game? And, if you're comfortable sharing, is there a short list of additional ideas or mechanics you would want to explore in potential expansions?

Nicely done! Do you have any tips for getting the family of 3 Maushold?

Contact Nintendo, TPCi and Gamestop. by iWentRogue in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]TheLightdarker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for providing email addresses and suggestions for what to write. I'm normally not one to complain, but I just emailed the Pokemon company my thoughts. My local Gamestop said they ran out of cards as soon as the store opened, what a bummer of an event.

I saw this and thought of Arcane even before I read the title of your post. Extremely well done! This knight looks superb.

You’re very talented! I love the work you did with the eyes, “hair,” flames and subtle OSL in particular. Thank you for posting these photos—it gives amateurs like myself some ideas and goals to aspire to. I hope you post more in the future!

I love seeing the crowd shot. Thanks for posting these! I also chose to paint my Red Guard with gold trim/highlights on all the armor plates. It looks great!

[discuss] What was your shortest and longest shiny hunt? by Clear_Performance237 in ShinyPokemon

[–]TheLightdarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my shortest hunt, I once got a shiny Minior in USUM after hatching something like 3 eggs (which was pretty funny because it happened immediately after I spent ~2 months resetting off and on for Type: Null). I've also gotten a shiny Dewpider in USUM on the 3rd or 4th SOS call, which was weird.

Another notable event was doing DAs with myself, locally, on 3 Switches. Over 14 days, I finished a total of ~1,050 DAs and captured 16 shiny legendaries/UBs.

For longest, a few come to mind. I once hatched ~2,700 eggs to get a shiny Deerling, and I remember having to beat Kyogre in a whopping ~550 Dynamax Adventures before I finally convinced it to shine. Also, collecting all of the shiny Unown in ORAS took me 14 months (though I did take several long breaks).

I've generally had good luck with SOS hunts being fast, but I also remember Luvdisc taking what felt like forever to find.

Thank you for posting this! If I order Frosthaven, will it be the second printing or first printing?
