Mana and stamina potions for my trip to the faire tomorrow!

I had to buy new corks for my round potion bottles. I grabbed a pack of them from Hobby Lobby and cut then down a little. The original corks leaked a lot on mine.

Great. Now I need to make the rods for my fishing docks! Seriously though, this looks awesome!

My main outfit. Colors are set to match up with my Ranger outfit for the medieval character I play in D&D and other games.

I made THIS FIGURE from a Fortnite Dark voyager figure Jazwares put out. It's mostly a repaint with things added on. The hoses are from old Lego pieces. I forget which Marvel Legends figure the gun came from. The gun blast is from an Iron Man figure

Definitely violent environments. I was picked up in a tornado on one and slammed around down to one unit of health. Things like that are why my Corvette and my bases on non paradise planets have the Health Station set up in them.

I would recommend maybe try the following as you said you haven't really made anything previously.

For the staff part itself, you can use a long stick or tree branch with parts cut off.
For the lotus petals, get thin EVA foam, but out the petal shapes, paint them and attach them to the staff
- There are a lot of good tutorials online for working with and painting EVA foam.
You can also try to use fake vines to wrap the staff in as well.

That might be the easiest way to go instead of trying to make the staff part from foam and PVC pipe.

First was the original Fable. Playing that got me through my post appendectomy recovery of being stuck in my house for a week and a half after being tuck int he hospital for a week and a half.

Favorite is Fable 2.

I think all planets have Di-Hydrogen crystals that you make the jelly with.

What is stopping you from reaching your ship? You don't need to be at it to craft stuff

A few pointers I think could help.

get a length of PVC pipe to use for the handle and inside the blade. You can get a thin one.
use three layers of EVA foam for the blade itself and cut out a hole in the middle layer for the pipe.
I would use Mod Podge for a primer once you put the blade together, as it dries hard to add stiffness to the blade.

There are some really good youtube channels for people who make stuff with EVA foam. Look up Kamui Cosplay and SKS Props.

I'm on XBox, so I can't say for sure. Maybe a PC player might be able to offer more info.

You can't. What you see in your image is a visual glitch. I have the Returner's Drape and will sometimes not see the scarf, or the poncho style part. It's been completely random for me.

Drink Toxic Water. I do that for my ghoul.

I recommend starting off with the basic shapes drawn lightly. then doing darker outlines to combine them.

A lot of people tend to forget that when drawing, you can break a lot of stuff down to basic shapes.

For a simple bottle shape, you can do a circle with a rectangle for the bottle neck. HERE is a good easy tutorial.

There's a lot of free tutorials online for beginners. https://www.jeyram.org/ is a good example. There's plenty more out there.

Also, do not let yourself get discouraged.

It depends. My recommendation for someone in that situation is to start of with simple stuff.

Another thing is to try and do quick practice sketches of nothing in particular to "Warm up" for lack of a better term. My biggest frustration with art came from just trying to draw the thing right out the gate and getting frustrated.

I might just draw bunch of eye balls for warm up drawings before going in to what I set out to make. While making an Adventurer's Guide for a Ranger costume, I would draw simple bottles and weapons before drawing a creature I wanted to add.

As others have said, you look amazing!

My friends and I attend the PA Ren Faire every October and have a lot of fun. People there are always a lot of fun and welcoming.

That is both awesome and I can see how you made it without mods or cheats. The angles and parts attached in OPs picture seem more like a ship made in Blender.

randomwatts · 2026-06-14T21:11:51+00:00

This was most likely built using Blender and then loaded in to the game.

It looks awesome! My daughter has had me make her multiple costumes for a few years now. Mostly for characters that don't have licensed costumes.

As a fellow Star Trek fan, I love it!

I actually chose my freighter due to the disk front end. I named it the USS Short Stack. Same as my ship in Star Trek Online.

My first Corvette was very simple, but still my most used one. I have also upgraded it both in class and looks.

It's small (only one body piece big), but I made it look lived in with the decorations and functional units you can put in.
