porting over more art! meeting on the turret stairs, but make it #shadowgast

#criticalrolefanart #criticalrole #saturdayskyart #art
A #shadowgast rendition of the painting "Meeting on the turret stairs." Essek, an elf in sumptuous blue robes, and Caleb, a human in a leather coat over a maroon shirt, share a moment on a stone spiral staircase. Essek is climbing up and Caleb is descending; in the moment of their passing each other, Caleb has clutched Essek's hand in his arms and drawn it to his face. He presses his lips to Essek's forearm like he doesn't wish Essek to leave, but this is the only part of Essek he can reach. Essek has turned his face to the wall with a stricken expression. Neither of them wants the moment to be over, but they cannot stay. In less than a moment after the scene in this painting, they will have departed. The only evidence they were there will be the strand of pearls scattered on the floor: fortune, slipped through their fingers.

Hallo everyone!
I'm Anna, an illustrator and cosplayer who occasionally crafts dioramas.

I'm a bit slow due to burn-out, but I get a lot of inspiration from BG3, Critical Role and D&D, Pokémon, whimsical places, cottagecore, Japan, and well *checks username*, gardens.

An oldie but a good one. My tutorial on how I made the fireball prop for my lvl1 Caleb cosplay. 🔥🔥🔥

This tutorial truly has gone far it helped me get my current job and won an award in the cosplay tutorial contest.

#CosplayTutorial #CosplayProps
Tutorial depicting how to make a prop fireball using hot glue and an LED candle. It consists of 5 steps. <Image text> Fireball Hot Glue Tutorial This is by no means the only way to make this, it's just the way i made it. The technique i came across because of a project in college where our only materials were spaghetti and hot glue. Don't forget about crafty, humble, and cheap materials they can surprise you. Have fun with this! -KAT.BIRDY Materials: hot glue sticks, LED candle, parchment paper or silicone baking sheet, iron, and ironing board. Step 1: Take 3-4 sticks of hot glue, place them in the center, and sandwich them between two sheets of parchment paper. Step 2: Using the iron on the highest setting set it on top of the hot glue sticks and keep heat until the hot glue is melted and homogeneous. Use The Iron To the iron to flatten out the glue into a thin sheet. Let cool. Step 3: While the hot glue sheet the hot glue sheet is warm to the touch, but not hot separate the upper and lower sheets. This took me some trial and error, but yields more textured sheets in the end. Let glue finish cooling and removed from the parchment paper. Step 4: Start ripping apart the whole sheets. You need a little bit of force, but it leaves you with some beautiful organic edges. If you want a more crystallized look try using scissors to cut the edges (I have yet to try this, but it could be cool). Step 5: once you have a good amount of scales start hot gluing them to the tea light from top to bottom until you have the desired size and shape.
