#Alcohol Inks

[thehappyastronaut]

I've been making my own custom Magic the Gathering cards for a while now, but I started really getting into it this week and thought I'd post some!

Sorry for the blurry pictures, I really tried to get nice ones, but I have very shaky hands :_:

These are in chronological order, and the first three are ones I made earlier in the year, all the ones after are the ones I made this week

Hope you guys like them! I'll post more as I make them, but this is all I have as of now

Painter!Cale AU

Ok, we all know this panel where Violan's story is explained, right? (・・ ) ?

Well, this gave me an idea. ☆ ～('▽^人)

If Cale is the one who imagines this, it doesn't mean that he has a lot of imagination and that he should be able to paint at least with spots, right? ヽ(*⌒▽⌒*)ﾉ

That idea made me think about watercolors, and later about alcohol inks, which work in a similar way, look like this:

These are generated images of paintings created with alcohol ink and you can't tell me this isn't something you imagine Cale doing right? (⌒ω⌒)

Well these are my headcanon (＠＾－＾):

Cale started painting because Record would record the landscapes he liked in his head and play them like a catchy song until he found a way to get them out.

This was the painting, it started when he accidentally spilled some wine on a piece of parchment creating a stain that reminded him of a landscape he saw, Record wasn't going to leave him alone anytime soon so he started stretching the stain forming the image and then he realized realized that Record was no longer playing that recording. That's how it all started.

Cale mixed the lower quality alcohol with different inks and began painting to get rid of the "catchy landscapes" and over time he began to enjoy the process of creating the ink and painting.

Violan discovered his hobby by accident after finding him painting at Henituse Castle.

She was amazed by his paintings and insisted on having an exhibition for them. Cale, unable to deny anything to his family, accepts, thinking that they were no big deal and planning to ignore it.

Unknowingly, he ended up becoming an art genius because alcohol ink had not been invented in Nameless 1.

Inktober/Drawtober Day 4: Corn Dodge 🌽🌾

Today’s piece was actually easier than I expected to put together, but I put it off so long I am cross-posting in an awful rush. 😅

So, I just want to give people a bit of a warning if they buy anything handmade for Christmas gifts that include 'alcohol ink' or any alcohol based pigments.

A lot of people on etsy are saying their alcohol ink stuff, including resin based crafts, do not fade or change color.

This is a lie!

ALL crafts that use alcohol based inks or pigments or dyes will eventually lose or change their color UNLESS that item stays permanently in a dark room with no natural sunlight and very little lamp light. Depending on brands and crafts, it may take a while to fade, but alcohol inks will never keep their original color. The item you buy will look completely different within weeks.

Thats not to say they will look bad, they can still look good or cool or unique, but if you have something with bright red and yellow and orange alcohol inks, they will become muted from light exposure.

When buying hand crafted stuff from strangers online, please research their materials so you know what they're buying. If they don't have them listed, ask. If they won't tell you...

Better to look for something else.

Some examples of what people use alcohol inks in, regarding resin:

Jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, rings, etc.

Drink coasters

Cups and mugs

Wall art

Trays and small tables

Deep pour projects

Paperweights

Statues

Experimenting with alcohol inks as part of my design process for my Viscom SAT :)

[tabletoplife]

Did some experimenting with new alcohol based inks on some clear minis.

They dry so fast it's awesome and kind of annoying too. Great blending though between layers. Found them at a Michaels craft store when my local comic book store stopped carrying army painter inks readily.

Hiiiii I’m Elisha and I’m a resin artist 🌟

Here’s a 12x16” painting I did recently with epoxy resin and alcohol ink!

"Concerning the gates"

23" X 17"

Each new art piece expands upon the last. I enjoy the progressive nature of my portfolio. It's a nice balance between theme and my desire to create something new. This time I've added dual textures with crackle paste and eco resin. The metallic pigments guide you around the piece as the lights reflection bounces off the surface, almost like a subtle glow.

More custom cards! After someone pointed out to me that the solid color mana was hard for colorblind people, I've started trying to add the little symbols into the color costs. They're hard to make look right, since it's very small, but I'm doing my best

Alcohol ink on Yupo paper when I first started messing around with this medium a few years back.

This is probably my favorite prompt combination so far—Though these results are admittedly more “flash fiction” than it is poetry. 🤓
