Starsector fan pottery
« on: August 01, 2015, 10:02:46 AM »

So I decided I want to learn to paint minis and whatever else will take acrylic paint. Beads maybe.

Bought a $1 walmart terra cotta pot and decided to try for an ancient greek-esque geometric design. So I picked some circular icons to nest into concentric circles.

I picked the Cult of Ludd symbol since it's an actual circle. Turned out nice! The perfectionist in me doesn't love it, but the rest of me does.

The Ludd icon probably looks the best (the other too being the tau empire symbol and the marathon icon from the bungie game of ancient date). Though the circles around it are the worst.  :p

Spoiler

EDIT: uploaded a better image.

Also I need to to a whole pot like that because it's much cooler than the rest of the stuff on there.  ;p

Excellent! Handcrafts are very much in accordance with Luddic principles.

Too bad I didn't throw the pot myself.  :p  I miss that. One of my favorite classes in college. Not that I was ever good at it, haha.

That's very cute :) And it really made me want to put together my own Starsector themed crafts...

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
