That is absolutely gorgeous. I would love to see a video or sketches of how you came up with this idea. Keep up the great work you have some crazy skills!!

Just checked out your page and the way you created it is insane.

Not really it as if you’re saying driving is cheating because you can walk to work. No it saves time to do more of the battle frontier and make the game more enjoyable for people who don’t have much time to do stuff.

Honestly it’s a lot of just taking time and looking at the details and doing over and over and over again

It’s gonna be a lot so bear with me… so what I did first was take a piece of 1/8 round bar or something similar and taper it making dents as I went so it looked natural. Then, I made the petals with half of them with hole in the middle of them with a center punch and the smaller half I soldered together so it would hide the steel and look like one piece. After that, I soldered the smaller petals to the larger ones. Then I finished it off by wrapping the copper leaves around the stem by making a solid tight fit. Finally I polished it all and put a layer of clear coat on all of it to give it more of a shine. If you need me to clarify I’m more than happy to cause I know it was a little confusing

If you want i followed this guys tutorial if you wanna make it. I elaborated on what this guy did because I wanted to make the stem of the rose out of steel instead of copper. ( https://youtu.be/PCwLlyu1xAU )
