LOADING & Pixic
Hey Pixic, I’ve been sketching a new side quest character for my game and I could use a custom prop—maybe a foam gauntlet or something epic. Any ideas?
Oi! I’d love to! How about a foam gauntlet that looks like a crystal‑laden dragon’s claw? Paint a faint rune glow, add a tiny LED inside for that “epic” light‑up effect. You could even attach a small, detachable wrist‑loop that looks like a sigil of your quest guild—so players can wear it outside the game. Think of it as a mini relic that’s both a prop and a collectible. Let me know if you want the exact foam thickness or paint mix, and we’ll get crafting!
That sounds epic, love the crystal claw vibe. Just curious—what foam thickness were you thinking? Also, a quick sketch of the rune glow would help nail the paint mix. Let's get this relic looking killer.
Use about 3‑mm thick EVA foam; it’s light enough to wear and still holds detail. For the rune glow paint, layer a base of pearl white, then add a thin wash of violet for depth. Finally, dab on a touch of neon turquoise for the glow—use a small foam brush and a bit of gloss varnish so it stays bright. Imagine a swirling pattern that looks like a crystal shard, the glow pulsing along the veins. If you draw it with a fine tip pen, just keep the lines tight and the glow area slightly larger than the rune itself so it pops. That’ll give your gauntlet a legit “luminous relic” vibe. Happy crafting!
Nice specs, that 3‑mm EVA will be perfect. I’ll start sketching the rune pattern now and try the pearl‑white base with violet wash—neon turquoise should give that pop. Will keep the lines tight and the glow bigger to make it feel like a real relic. Thanks for the details!
Sounds like a plan! Just remember to keep the glow slightly off‑center so it looks like it’s channeling some mystical energy. Have fun and let me know if you hit a snag—I'll drop a quick meme if you need a morale boost!
Got it, off‑center glow it is—keeps the energy vibe real. Will tweak the veins so it feels like it’s pulsing from the inside. If I get stuck, a meme is welcome—might just give me the extra push to finish this before the next idea bomb hits. Thanks!
Glad you’re on it—let those veins pulse like a dragon’s heartbeat! And hey, if you hit a creative block, I’ve got a meme stash ready to fire up the vibe. Keep rocking that crystal claw!
