Popular Post Guyscanwefocusplease Posted June 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Hi folks,Decided to take a break from CAVs and make some treasure tokens after seeing a tutorial I on here. Although I cannot find where the original tutorial is now (edit: you can find it here http://http://www.reapermini.com/TheCraft/33). These two took two hours for my fiance and I to make. I'm generally happy with how they came out, although the one lesson that I learned is that you need to make anything that sits with the gold very, very bright. When I painted the gemstones and the weapons I thought at first that they would look too ostentatious, but after adding the gold they kind of get drowned out. I also need to add another layer of dark wash to highlight the difference between the coins. But this was a fun project and I can see myself making more in the future. C&C always welcome!

Morihalda Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 *grabby hands* I promise I want it because it's shiny, not because I'm greedy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guyscanwefocusplease Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 very nice... is the gold repurposed glitter? I have had some luck with large round glitter... but yours rocks Actually, it is purposed glitter. The folks at the craft store gave me strange looks when I came up with nothing but glitter... I highly recommend it though. I will for sure be using this again in the future! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Heh. I'm old enough to remember when glitter was squares and game maps were hexagons, and now it's the other way around. Good repurposing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Those look really good. You can put all kinds of things into them. I made a bunch of 'encounter' tokens once with gravel and some leftover skeleton army sprue. That way, your players don't know what it is, could be treasure, could be hiding giant beetles. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking it :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastl Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'm guessing it's this tutorial written by yours truly. They look great! Just the thing to make adventurers stop making spot and listen checks when they should be more cautious. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll update the post. Thanks for making a great tutorial! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastl Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'm glad to see people are still finding it useful and making sparkly things. Those must look pretty on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
