Here I have a variation of the "Thistel Dragon" dicetray design. For this one I made the dragon in red-brown colors, so this is now a copper dragon! The last fotos are of the original color. Which one do you prefer?
Since my keychain & charms were so well received, here's some other Sleep Token inspired resin work I've done! Coasters based on Aqua Regia, Blood Sport, Dark Signs, and Levitate 🫶 I pulled a lot of inspiration from the visualizers for Dark Signs & Levitate, and they were really fun to plan out and make!
unbothered. moisturized. happy. in my sump. focused. flourishing.
Resin success! Well, probably... we'll see how it cures in a few days!
It was super windy today and I was filming in one hand and holding the resin in the other, so this is all I could film really. Looks super cool, I understand now why people like those slime stim videos!
Recently, I began working on a Shadow Box concept using paper, resin, and various mix-ins in a 4" square coaster mold.
Mistborn has such a dynamic and bold aesthetic that it felt like a wonderful place to start. It was also my first Cosmere book.
At least if it's Ruined, it's still perfectly in setting.
I started by drawing out a high-contrast, dynamic silhouette of Best Girl Vin above Luthadel.
Each layer was cut out of card stock. I picked a shimmery metallic for the skyline but it doesn't read through the resin so I'll skip next time.
I poured a layer of resin mixed with gray and black mica powder for ash into the channels around the rim of the coaster.
I alternated resin and paper to space the pieces out, swirling white ink between the rooftops for Mist.
A quick peek through the bottom of the mold shows nothing shifted out of position...
The last layer has a lot of red and Garnet ink swirled in. I deliberately under-blended it to get some variety in the pockets of color.
Something I didn't anticipate is the difference in density between the paper and resin. Thin spots tried really hard to float leading to some odd curling in the corners, but nothing deal-breaking.
And the big reveal!
... kinda underwhelming. I went too hard on the mists, and a lot of that ash escaped containment making the whole effect muddied and hard to see ...
BUT WHAT IF WE BURN TIN!?
Awww yeeeah, there's our girl. The red background being transparent and irregular really let's that fiery red sun POP.
A softer background mutes those lovely Allomancy lines but the effect is just too pretty to fault it.
I learned a lot from this project and already have some exciting ideas for more!
Here is a first version of the "Bi Pride Dragon". I need your feedback, please. How do you like it and do you think I got the colors right? Depending on your feedback I make more of these! Its not in a tray yet, but that will follow soon. I arranged some of the "Bi Galaxy" dice around it.
