There's a great tumblr thread on some of the incredible attention to detail here: different thread weights in the hobbit vs human costumes to give a different sense of scale; fully written letters inside envelopes that were never opened onscreen...

Hell yeah

i am definitely bidding on this but I kind of hope I don't win it because what it's worth is substantially above what I can justify paying for it

Wow!!! 😍That is absolutely stunning!

Ooh that's gorgeous!

It's a technique called 3D decoupage using small double-sided sticky foam pads. Cut out the first layer of the whole image in thin card and attach it to the background with the pads, then attach a second layer of the elements you want to stick out further, then a third layer for the highest parts

A paper cut reproduction of David Jenkins' Our Flag Means Death Season 2 image: 2 skeletal mermaids, one holding a spear and one holding a heart dripping blood. The mermaids are holding hands and their hands form the word 'Ed'

I did these guys as part of a 2023 prompt challenge: 'mermaids'

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

This was the first piece of art I did for the fandom (and my first 'proper' artwork in many years) and it's still one of my favourites

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Homicide rate = murder rate + manslaughter rate. Both murder and manslaughter usually attract heavy sentences, but murder usually higher because attacking someone intending to kill them is worse than attacking them not meaning to kill them but they die anyway

If your loved one is killed you probably don't care much whether it was intentional/premeditated. How many people are being killed is the more useful measure for quality of life in an area.

Time for a replay! 🎁🎁

Aww this was so cute and fun!!

😌

Love it! Great composition and highlights. I think I can see something of your fibre art experience coming through too - something about the directionality of the strokes and thd distinct patches of colour. It's very effective 🤩

i only wanna read it if you actually wanted to write it

explicit or not

lol

Sooo cute!!

I had an incredible time making this piece! Comprised of 11,250 LEGOs, as well as all my love for this show and the community we've built

Thankyou! ❤️

And yes, this applies even if you think your art level is 'I can only draw stick figures'. You can trace! You can ask for help and advice! As long as it's not AI, it's all good. And you might just surprise yourself!

Seriously. If this is something you're looking at now and thinking "I'd love to do that but I could never..." please come and join in next time. Having that diversity of skill levels and interpretations is exactly what makes these projects so special.

Thank you! x 💜

My two frames: both traditional media. The close up was done at A3 scale over a couple of weeks, the wide shot was a quicker pinch-hit in A4, but I'm proud of both. Thanks so much to the organisers and everyone on the discord server for sharing their works in progress and cheering each other on x

Here's a crop of mine. Only just over an hour to go!

It's not just a ban on trans people, or a ban on people who other people think are trans - it's a license to harass people and ban them because of baseless accusations. *Anyone* could be accused of being trans and would have no definitive way of proving it. This guidance must be withdrawn.
