MonkeySloth Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've been playing around with a type of paint that cracks when it dries over on the general painting board and a few of the bases turned out well enough I thought I'd post them here for those that don't tend to read that area of the forums.

neuroticGOD Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ice Ice baby! What the name of the paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humansquish Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Holy crap those are awesome! You need to do a tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 @neuroticGOD it's called Distress Crackle paint. If you follow the link I give in the first post I've got amazon links to the products. @humansquih Thanks. I do have some brief steps in the afore mentioned link but it's kind of random and rambling. Maybe I will make something that's a little more coherent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettagirl Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Those bases look awesome! I've heard/read that the crackle paint works well for making dry, cracked earth and magma/lava bases as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 oooh! thats a great idea! i like it! Love the hand coming out from the ice also! lol ooh I clicked your twitter link to follow. you can request to follow me also if you want. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm kind of sad no one has commend on the face in the ice. Though it's hard to see unless you know it's there or are looking at the larger version of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm kind of sad no one has commend on the face in the ice. Though it's hard to see unless you know it's there or are looking at the larger version of the picture. It's a little tough to make out as a face, IMHO. Now that I know it's there and what it is, I can recognize featues, but if you hadn't mentioned it I'd probably have had to have the base in hand to figure it out. Nice easter egg, but subtle.

MonkeySloth Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Ya you can see it much better in real life, but it just doesn't show up in the photo really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble_B Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 These are amazing.... I might just have to steal this idea! I would also like to see instructions/tutorial of what you did and used for the final ones shown here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Turns out I didn't let my water effect sit long enough so as it finished drying it shrunk some and my base has collapsed a bit, I'll see about posting a picture later tonight. Because of that I'm making another one and am taking pictures so I can do a step-by-step for those that have requested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 love the effect, gonna use it sooner or later! thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 @nameless I would love to see what you could do with this. So here's what happens if you don't let what you have the crackle paint resting on enough time to fully settle: I may add some snow to fill out some parts of the base so this doesn't become a total loss, but at the same time the replacement is almost ready to go: And for those asking Part 1 of my tutorial on making these is up in painting tips.
