MissMelons Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 For opening ceremonies we can have a paint brush dipped in paint that must be carried from the heart of reaper to the convention site without the paint drying out. Then the brush bearer will run in and place the first brush stroke on the ceremonial Sophie miniatures to signal the start of the con. At the end the brush will be returned to the heart of reaper when it will wait until next year. It must never touch the ground or dry out. Maybe I am over thinking this.... I like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how many of us are good enough runners? Plus enough drying retarder in it and that would be easy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai-Mongar Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have a big bag of party poppers somewhere I think, but somehow I don't think bringing a bag of explosives onto a plane would be very sensible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 That's actually interesting. A mini that everybody puts a single brush stoke on at registration. On second thought, it would look like the figures my kids did when they were preschool. Skip it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humansquish Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just have the instructors put the last strokes on, they will get it all to blend together and look good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcktlnt Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I just spent an hour glazing the wyvern's wings.* First, I glazed the wings, then I added another glaze layer and color in the shadows, then another. Just for a change, I added several more glaze layers. By this time, I was really sick of glazing, so I added three more glaze layers. Finally, I mixed up a nice complimentary color and added three more glaze layers. * Shameless plug time: Don't know what a glaze is or how to do it? Take the Basic Painting Techniques painting class where I will show you my patented glazing technique** which you can then use to amaze your friends and make yourself crosseyed.*** ** Not really patented nor original for that matter. *** Will not cause permanent eye damage. Aren't your classes full? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does dry out, does that mean 6 more weeks until Reapercon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klarg1 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Can I wear a toga and wave around some palm tree branches? That's super-legit as far as ceremonies go! Yes you can. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
