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!

Some art of my Toonkind DnD character, Whitney Flaneil! She's a part of @megamagma's Bottomless Heights campaign and definitely an original character wink wink nudge nudge

The second pic is her with @fletchier's character, Ursa.

You can listen to her games here!

If anyone knows Professor Winn Chimes and listened to the things he's in, then you'd know he has four daughters! Here's the first!

I did that outfit meme with some of my Toonkind characters! I had folks on the server request characters with outfits, and I obliged. You can watch my gradual perfectionism as I started shading things and making clean lines, haha. It's a curse I swear.

A title card and some sketches from an FPS I had with @fletchier back in January! We committed crimes, it was very fun.

Also this post happens to fall on the tenth anniversary of Gravity Falls! Can you believe it?! Ten years. Man. This show means so much to me, it changed my life. I'm honored to be playing the Wendy expy in our Toonkind GF campaign!

I need to start posting my games here more often...

So! I ran one of my most favorite games recently! I was VERY honored to be able to run a game for @modmad, @crankyteapot and @toonrevamp! and their Luck Trio of Deltasong Danger, Lucky Jack and Mersel Arlo Von Vixen! It was LOADS of fun, and managed to stuff in basically everything I wanted into a game that ran right under 3 hours. This is also the “start” of a set of games that take place in Bottomless Heights, which is basically a campaign based on Gravity Falls. Ill definitely be posting a lot more art for this! “The luck trio happen to find themselves in a new questionable place. A new venue has opened up in the dream realm, and a certain nightmare demon wants to test it. But in such a casino even the lucky ones need to learn... The House always wins...”

There was also the song “Permissible not Missable” which played during the game. With Lyrics and Melody - by Sarah Jolley (Modmad) Accompaniment - by Daria Dorothea Angst Rating: High. Specifically for uh... backstory mentions after the break. Shennanigans: Quite high! ... Also a cameo from both @lizzybeanbutt and @hexabeast.
