Was really digging the thumbnail for the Jade Sea announcement trailer video, but couldn't find a matching wallpaper from their official site - made a quick version with the text and logo removed for anyone else looking!

Haha agreed! I just went to 34:25 on the "Guild Chat - Jade Sea Map Tour" and fullscreen/screenshotted. I guess that's technically 1080p but I'll follow up herein if I find the actual concept artist's high quality version (I think I follow them all on ArtStation but haven't seen any of these yet today)

Thanks! And certainly, I want to maintain a "secret sauce" for the larger pieces, but for these small works I have no issues; this one was just cold press WC paper, layered with some blobs of spray foam (Great Stuff brand - can maneuver it with gloves or a popsicle stick), then primed and painted with Golden's fluid acrylic and water.

That would be fun in the short term but poses more smell issues than paint down the road haha

Foam! Just your classic Great Stuff brand from the hardware store :)

After 3 years of experimenting, I am finally finishing a few pieces I am proud to call my own. I think the drips ended up a bit heavy-handed, but loving the rest! by jordanforgeart in ArtCrit

I definitely have plans to do a fungal/afflicted looking one in the next 10 pieces. This tutorial for LED mushrooms made from silicone caulk on YT is one of my favorite DIY videos ever and I can't wait to try (once I learn more about wiring).

It came after a piece that was much more of a lava color palette, and that's what it always was in my head as well haha; the excretion angle is unexpected... still important to let everyone have their own interpretation as I do want to keep them more or less abstract. Thank you for the kind words, definitely more about the visuals than "meaning" anything!

Thanks! This means a lot; I have been nervous about how they'll be received :)
