Welcome to Bottomless Heights, where things are not always as they seem...

I thoroughly enjoyed creating these 10 custom resin pins for the players in the Bottomless Heights Toonkind campaign. It was my first time creating pins like these; I learned a lot from the process and I am excited to share them with the world!

A huge thank you to everyone involved in the campaign, even if you didn't get a pin. I can't wait to create this story with you, it's going to be a journey to remember.

Some of the amazing folks include: @megamagma17 @modmad @artist-of-obsessions @fletchier

Process photos below the cut.

3D models created from the SVG versions I made from tracing the original symbol designs (which were not designed by me).

I printed a prototype on my regular printer (about a 12 min print, super quick) to test for size and stability.

Then I put the models in my slicing software for my resin printer and began prepping them to print! I chose resin for a nicer finish, durability, and so I wouldn't have to worry about not sanding in the cracks, since that's almost impossible.

The prints on the bed right after printing and after cleaning in an alcohol bath.

UV light to cure the resin completely.

Sanding. For hours. But worth it!

I hot glue them to toothpicks where I'll be attaching the pin backs and place them in my painting board (which is just an old piece of wood with holes in it). Then I give them a nice few coats of black enamel.

Finally, I give them a nice coating of antique gold Rub 'n Buff (a nice wax finish) and use two part epoxy to glue on the pin backs.

And there you have it! Simple, 3D printed, metallic resin pins. I am in no way an expert and most of this was just me using my combined cosplay fabrication knowledge to whip these out, but I'm still happy with the result and I look forward to making more like this in the future!

Vava’s and Vivi’s from last week??? Listen toonkind is overtaking everything I love these folks and they inspire me 

Red carpet designs and a more Casual Vivi who has taken a liking to blindfolds over sunglasses to protect her very sensitive eyes

A Vava who is embracing her husband’s more...underhanded dealings....

And a mermaid AU Vava because the drawpile wanted mermaid AU and we must deliver. :>

So I’ve been plotting with @toonrevamp​ for a while about Mersel and Vava and their history, because there is a lot of history there, and we finally decided it was time for them to reunite! And they have in this 12FPS episode!!

You don’t need to listen to the other Toonkind games to listen to this one, though it does help with some ambient knowledge that gets thrown around. 

But the other games are great so like? Go listen to them??? For real?????

Just LISTEN
