This isn't real art, but I made it so I figured I would share. I was thinking of using one of these and ordering a custom rubber stamp, though I'm not sure what I would use it for.1. Yes, your rubber stamp designs are real art, since you thought them up (just like Piney's wallpaper). And I think a lot of us would like an SSSS stamp.

Ooh, that would make a nice stamp. I'd just decorate my sketchbook pages with it if I had one. Doesn't really need a use. :D
(And it's much cleaner than my wallpaper design; I drew that with my finger)

I hadn't thought of putting the picture on clothing, but now you mention it, what about socks?
That, along with SSSS pajamas mentioned in the other thread, is definitely something I would spend money on.
Post by: Eich on February 02, 2015, 12:28:22 AM
Me too. I wonder if there would be some way to create some sort of fan run merchandise shop? I feel like a lot of people would buy stuff, but it doesn't seem like Minna will do it any time soon, she is working hard enough as it is. Maybe we could stock a shop with t-shirts an pajamas ans such and then direct the profits to Minna so she doesn't have to deal with it? I have no idea if this would work, or how to implement it, but it seems like it could be a way for us to get our themed clothing and to get Minna a little more profit off the comic.I've been thinking about that for about a week now, actually. There are all kinds of options available, with lots of businesses that solely produce custom made products for different fandoms.
Cups and flasks (http://www.fanboyglass.com/), maybe some decals (https://www.etsy.com/shop/GameThemedThings), etc. Those are just two things I found at MAGFest, but there're lots more. The youtube crowd, in particular, seems to have a few big sites that just... make stuff for them to sell. Maker (http://shop.maker.tv/) is the biggest, for them.

Hmmm I'm not 100% happy on the head I've made..even though I improved it..buuuuut...it's not quite......what I want I think
I wish it dried the same terra cotta colour, instead of peach...mhmmmmm
Also, the spiky bits are supposed to be fluff but I don't know how to make fluffffff ;_____;

He has a head, but me and my sister agreed that it it possessed by dark evil and we should maybe burn it. So I'm going to make him another, non-satanic one tomorrow, after his arms. :3 and try and get the minna style better....

After staring at Mr beasty for so long, I decided I needed to try drawing him right side up. Here's the results so far! Also debating whether I want to attempt coloring him with pastels or not...
Chalk or oil pastel? :D (now I wanna draw trolls...it looks so fun!)
Ah, the trusty collar...also hoods, cloaks, gumboots and mittens! XD Collars for the win! ;)(http://i.imgur.com/JYJ3oAg.png)
I finally gave in and drew fanart.
For some reason I couldn't draw chins tonight. Collars to the rescue!
I made Lalli's arms today! ::)

It's a mix-mash of his Keuruu clothes, because I just really wanted to put the bow on and not make hundreds of uniform straps and linings ;____; Although it's only now that I notice the bow loops are facing the wrong wayyyyyyy.. *troll cry* I AM NEVER GOING TO UNNOTICE THAT EVER.

That's marvelous! Clay-Lalli's posture is *perfect.* As far as his face... maybe the nose could be a smidge lower and pointier? Also, I think his downward-slanting brows look kind of angry (which may have been your intention). Left to themselves, his brows tend to float higher on his face.
I love the kitty. I don't think it's creepy at all (though it *is* smirking.) You should make a 3-D Printer design of it!

I read through this entire thread over the past few days. You guys have made some really cool (and often really hilarious) fan art.
I've been copy-drawing some of the characters from the comic to get a good feel for what they look like, so I'll probably make a few more posts here in the future. For now, though:

Please do keep posting -- we're all friendly here.

It's a serious, existing art, and that's an egg worthy of the True Minnion Artist Award. Happy Easter! :)
kahli: nice work! How did you colour that? At first I wondered if you boil-dyed the egg but on another hand it could also be painted... *squint*
kahli: Easter eggs are definitely art! I'm curious as well as to how you colored it :o
Thank you for the compliments everyone! ;D The egg is in fact dyed, not painted. To make it, I used painters tape to keep the pattern white while it soaked in purple for a while, then I put it in blue for a long while to darken it up because I knew the red would make it significantly brighter later. When it got dark enough, I paper toweled it to dry it a bit and give it texture. Then I removed the diamond parts of the tape and dipped it in red for a few seconds, keeping the pattern face down so it wold get the most red. Then I took of the little X tape bits and ta-daa! An SSSS easter egg! I also had some test eggs to see what colors worked best...

So I've been working on a thing. My grandma and I have been talking about me making some needlepoint designs to sell since she goes to needlework trade shows a few times a year. (and painted canvases go for so much money, my gosh!) I've never painted on needlepoint canvas before, so I started to practice on some old, low-quality canvas. This is the first little practice piece!
And I'm quite aware of the major mistakes (such as one of the x's being a square too close)...since I'm not going to actually do anything with this one, I eventually got to the point of not caring. But I thought I'd share anyway. Plus a couple little doodles :P

(and painted canvases go for so much money, my gosh!) I've never painted on needlepoint canvas before, so I started to practice on some old, low-quality canvas. This is the first little practice piece!
And I'm quite aware of the major mistakes (such as one of the x's being a square too close)...since I'm not going to actually do anything with this one, I eventually got to the point of not caring. But I thought I'd share anyway. Plus a couple little doodles :P

I know it's been almost half a year since Minna drew this picture, but the idea of the whole SSSS crew as cats kept haunting me in my crafting endeavors, and it was high time to let it out I guess. And there is no such a thing as having enough cats. I'm SO looking forward to the crew meeting their kitty!

Hi! Long time lurker creeps out of the shadows of anonimity to add her two cents. Or maybe just one - it all depends on inflation. And my skills with a camera. So let me show you what I came up with during the weekend:AAAA THIS IS GREAT! What clay/plasticine/stuff do you use by the way- it looks like fantastic stuff! :3

And 2. THAT IS SUPER COOL
And about the pics I posted
I kinda cheated by upping the contrast and saturation a little. They still look pretty similar to the original drawings. And they are only so detailed because I have those drawings for when I don't have internet but I do have the urge to draw characters.

These are neat! The first one reminds me of a simplified endless knot. (Though it's a Buddhist symbol, so it probably wasn't meant to be similiar?)

The pants are meant for male military figures, and won't let themselves be sewn/styled the way I had thought, so I have to think about doing boot covers over the pants. And belts. And a jacket closure and styling for the collar. And a mask once I have a head. And...and...and...*dies*

Nice work. It is coming along. How are you going to fashion the head? If you need any silver-blond hair I have hair from my mini pony that is the right color for Tuuri.

Hello and welcome Olga, I think you're the first to show us a SSSS glass painted :) Do you want to tell us more about you in the introduction thread ?
Hello and thank you! Suppose I am really the first glass painter here. About introduction thread — done! )
Olga, that's amazing! I don't think we have a glass painter yet. Can you tell us something about that beautiful piece of glass you used as background? It's almost the colours of turquoise or malachite. Or is it in fact a stone? Do you paint on sea-glass?
Thank you!! I used crackled triplex glass, it looks like that:
(http://pics.livejournal.com/vereskolya/pic/000q3t9a/s640x480)
Then I painted on it using special contours and colours for glass:
(https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRG0WT8j1wbwh2RX5tlyT4Cn02VyLHT1cGsKaEhAnEo3sD7e-S3) (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRJKWUtgkXrnp7Uc8kDDBG_kKUwI8rx2TElwPT7WSJHwkRbveoG)
As a background I used "Turkish blue" hue and metallic foil on the reverse side, and acrylic paint with special 'frost' effect on the front one.
I suppose it's not a problem to make some sort of workshop with photoes to explain it step by step, if it's interesting.
I saw this on Tumblr and thought it was wonderful!!
Thank you very much!!!

I disagree, I think this is most best! You should be proud to boast the Danish flag on your pants! And everyone should know some basic sewing techniques so they can do awesome stuff like this instead of throwing out a perfectly good piece of clothing.

(the sweden one I bought in Denmark)
my grandma taught me to do these (http://www.filetoth.com/3-himzesek/files/eniko_himzes5.jpg), and the hat was made same way, sadly the fabric was pretty strong, so it was not that easy, and for the danish flag on my trousers were same, some parts on my trousers were really hard to sew throw with hands.
and I dunno why I think sewing with hand is easy....... sorry, it is really hard to believe someone can't because it is really easy to me.....

Yes, clothing with all of the Nordic flags!!! (ok not really, but 3/5 isn't bad) And that embroidery is beautiful! I can see how it would be difficult to do with strong fabric.
Sewing by hand isn't all that hard, but a lot of people I know simply never learned how to do it. My grandma never would have let me go through life without knowing the basics, though ^-^

I dunno, in primary school we had a class, where we did many handcraftings (girls did like sewing, or knitting, boys made like woodcrafts but of course I also have some woodcrafts too xD [not to mention the cooking in school]) maybe it was not in every school, but in ours we had.
my grandma used to make a lot of those kind of table sheets and so on with those flowers (whatever it is called the way to do them) she showed me that. actually my dad showed me and taught me how to make bracelets out of yarn or thread (we also did this in school too).
flags, I barely have on other clothes, but I used to have phone-chain, and I have a lot of flags around in my room, (I am not obsessed with flags, especially with nordics), also my most-best t-shirt has flags on it, does that count?
well, I don't mind making myself any other flag-stuffs, I might try one day something else when I feel really creative agian.

I've never mastered a sewing machine, but can hand sew well enough. One of my sisters is a tailor, and she thinks it's very silly of me, but I've never managed to machine-sew without breaking the machine or sewing my fingers!

Martti: those little flower embroideries are lovely! And if you are hand sewing heavy fabric, do you have a thimble? Or a saddlers' palm if you can find one? I find such tools very useful for sewing canvas or leather; if you go to a craft shop you should find several gadgets for making heavy hand sewing easier and safer. Such tools were once used by shoemakers, harness repairers and the like, and now for leather crafts.I'm glad I'm not the only one! Everyone I know who sews uses a machine, and they can't understand that for me, just sitting down at a machine is enough to jam it! I also must hand-sew everything.

well, I know what thimble is, I saw it when I was little, but never used (used it as a toy like using as a hat or glass or something for a barbie-like doll or something lol), but we don't have one here. when it was really hard I usually picked something metal around (mostly scissors) to help me push through.
I never knew it was for that. I asked my grandma (she is the only one who had) what it was, she said it protects my finger to be sewn to the cloths, but I didn't image that way UNTIL NOW that it could help me push just through the fabric, wow....
and I actually sew my finger/hand to some fabric few times (not with sewing machine). I was always laughing like "oops I sew my finger to it again" xD

I'm also particularly fond of the pioneer thimble (at least, that's what my mom calls it). It looks like the fingertip of a leather glove has been cut off, except it has a little circle of metal built in to the pad. I find it much easier to use than the regular type of thimble because the leather works better for picking things up and is generally more comfortable.

Ana, wherever did your mom find one of those? Or did she make it? I haven't seen one in about sixty years; my great-grandmother had one which her father had made for her.
I honestly don't know. My mom has had a few since before I can remember, and because they're so hard to find, we keep the ones we have in special places so that we don't lose them. I think I saw them for sale in Joann Fabrics once...

These two pictures differ a bit from Nordic Council logo, so I can make a tutorial on them. They are less difficult to made, than Nordic Council logo.
Olga: These are incredibly beautiful! Would you consider making a tutorial on how these were created? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be fascinated to see the process.
Yes, I saw and admired the previous tutorial. These look as if made a little differently? I know the basic work is likely similar, but some of the methods of the inlay look different?
Thank you =)
As for tutorial: these two glasses are less difficult than Nordic Council logo, and the swan was almost completely made using contours. So yes, they are differ a bit from Nordic Council logo. I can make the tutorial, no problem, but a bit later.
I made SSSS-themed cookies once. Now that I've noticed this thread I regret not taking pictures. :'(
How about making them once more, and take pictures? ;)

I wouldn't go so far as to call me a master, but you have learned much, young grasshopper :P
I can't do any papercutting right now, because apparently x-acto knives count as weapons (who would've thought?) and I'm not allowed to keep any in my room. Ah well, I'll have to wait until I go home for Thanksgiving. Until then, I live vicariously through your work!

Auleliel: Sympathy! Electric sewing machines are the worst. I could just manage my Gran's old pedal-driven Singer machine, if I worked very carefully and slowly, but I haven't seen one of those for decades.
Martti: I forgot to mention also sailmakers' needles and the leather palm they use - very good for such work.
The old foot pedal sewing machines are still out there. There is a company here in the States that caters to the Amish (who immigrated to the U.S. in the 1800's and don't believe in using electricity or being fancy/vain) that you can buy them from new. I have my great-grandmother's foot pedal Singer that I just found the maintenance instructions online in a PDF.

That sounds a lot more menacing than I meant it to, but in honor of fall, I wanted to try papercutting with leaves. Here are the results!
Spoiler: lots of leaves • show
Verdict: cutting out leaves is hard because they break more easily than paper when dry, and you can't draw designs on them while wet. But it was really fun, and I think pretty successful.

Considering that I occasionally drink f.ex. wine from small soup bowls, empty jam jars or straight from the bottle (I REALLY hate doing the dishes, if I'm planning on relaxing the dishes will have to wait) I say just get one anyway. For any drink at all, chocolate milk, orange juice, anything. Or you know... for soup... or cereal... Ok Laufey time to shut up before all the embarrassing secrets come out...
Laufey, I tryed to drink tea from empty jam jar. And cereal from mug. And I like it! ;D

Happy Halloween! Yeah, it's Reynir with pumpkin, and Purrito with bat wings!
(I don't know if there are bats with white wings, but let's pretend they exist.)

A-and winter is coming, so I made the background using blue colour with frost effect, and added snowflakes. I also used info about Icelandic mages in comic (p. 87), and some pics from Internet as reference. It helped me made some snowflakes as stylized Icelandic runes. I still don't know much about Icelandic runes, hope I made them in right way =)
Materials: 15x20 glass, colours and contours for glass, glitter contour, frost colour, micropearls.

For the posture I just...make all the limbs separate, and then bend them into the pose I want before properly connecting them...no armatures or anything underneath that I remember. I did use a pin to connect the head to the body before blending them together though. It's air-dry clay, so to keep it wet I just wrapped the bits in wet tissue while I wasn't using them, like a mummy, and then if that started to dry out or needed a top-up I'd just drip some water on and the tissue would soak it up. For storing the leftover clay block, I've put it in a ziplock lunch bag with a ball of soggy tissue, and squished as much air out as I could. It's still in good condition under my desk now! :0

There's several different threads where I could have posted this and none of them really seem to fit, so I've taken a punt and decided to dump it here. Behold the hottest toy of the 2015 festive season....Spoiler: show
So clever! I wish Lego would make a kit for it -- I know a couple of 9-year-old boys who could put it together for me in a flash.
Now, my Christmas wish: SSSS Lego minifigs! (Sigrun would be easy -- just change the hair color and uniform for Wyldstyle. Any other ideas?)

Purple Wyrm, that's clever! So much work. I like that you have the folding antenna and the wonky headlight.
Thanks! I figure if you're going to spend time on something pointlessly nerdy, you should make it detailed pointlessly nerdy :D

You can actually submit builds like this to Lego for consideration, but they require tens of thousands of votes and serious commercial potential to get approved. Sadly I suspect SSSS fandom wouldn't provide enough profit. You also used to be able to send your design through to Lego, get a quote for all the parts and then have them shipped out to you to build for real. But they stopped doing it for some reason :(
I have a history of customising minifigs (https://www.flickr.com/photos/wyrmworld/albums/72157627345865818), so Lego versions of our intrepid crew are a distinct possibility :D

Here's my overview of the decorated fronts (with edible glitter because I could and wanted to):
(http://i.imgur.com/5H42YD0.jpg)
To make these, I made a form with plastimake/polycaprol, which I then used to make a food-grade mold using a re-useable gel :)
(http://i.imgur.com/cezCpG0.jpg)
(with my hand for size)
The rest is my chocolate secret ;)
While I have been thinking about SSSS flavours, these chocolates are tailored to Rabbit's tastes so I won't say much about them.
I will probably refine the shape, make it more even, and who knows, one day finally settle on what kind of chocolate flavours SSSS and the crew members inspire to me!

It's a mix-mash of his Keuruu clothes, because I just really wanted to put the bow on and not make hundreds of uniform straps and linings ;____; Although it's only now that I notice the bow loops are facing the wrong wayyyyyyy.. *troll cry* I AM NEVER GOING TO UNNOTICE THAT EVER. (I'm ironically a bit of a perfectionist...)
The sleeves aren't...quite....but they're ok.

I buy the parts from FireStar toys (https://www.firestartoys.com/) who have a huge range and are very reliable, but (as with all Lego) they could not be said to be cheap :(

...cause here comes the next pyromaniac!Emil inspired craft! :D
I volunteered at the museum today and we had a cardboard sculpture/craft event and in between cutting up about a kilometer of cardboard and getting my already finished pieces nicked I made this cardboard flamethrower. I don’t know anything about flamethrowers. Here’s what I imagined:

- the barrel is collapsible
- the knob on top is the trigger and you can turn it and it’s got a safety (tape)
- the fuel goes in the bottom of the grip (it’s Icelandic fuel and therefore says caution in Icelandic)
- snazzy decorations (among others: Nordic Council logo and Cleanser Cat)
And then I felt a bit silly and pretended to be Emil...

Thank you so much!
The other side is already layered with foil and fixed with glue, so there's nothing interesting, I suppose.

Olga, that's marvellous! The eyes with the fire-red pupils are a nice touch.
Thank you! :)
Scalds, scouts and mages have their insignias. But what about cleancers? They definitely deserve them! So here’s my glass fire insignia. I was inspired by wooden boxes on page 190, and Emil’s flask on page 263.

Oh my, this is so precious !!! I see your work in the SSSS tag on tumblr sometimes and it always makes me so happy because it's combining two really awesome things. I've always REALLY loved stained glass, my dream is to live in a home with lots of stained glass windows, but combine that with SSSS ahhhh perfect <3

Sooo, I made a pin with SSSStar using watercolour on paper base, and bead that glows in the darkness. Unfortunately, my camera isn't good enough to catch this effect at night. So here it is at the daylight.

The SSSStar made of foam. I like foam, it's my favourite material, since it's soft.
Making it was like a mathematical puzzle, I calculated what angle every flag should have in order to fit nicely.
I seem to be obsessed with the SSSStar since I also drew it on my labcoat (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.msg123463#msg123463).

I still need to figure out Lalli's collar, and decide if I'm going to have his hood up. Also Tuuri's uniform has a printing error, and some of the colours are off because I'm low on yellow ink.
In terms of the models...
Sigrun - I'm still waiting for the head I want for her to come in stock, and I need to paint her hair
Emil - I need to paint his hair
Mikkel - I might replace his syringe with something a bit more mechanical
Lalli - Lalli is perfect! :D
Reynir - Repaint his hair, paint out those braces, change his arms to light blue, maybe give him brown gloves and see if I can find something more dignified to give him than a broom :)
Tuuri - Paint her hair

Thank you!
These are well done Purple Wyrm but shouldn't Reynir also have a mask like Tuuri?
Yes, and I do have one for him, but leaving it off makes it a little more obvious that he's an unplanned addition to the team.
When they're all finished and I've posed them on the ruined building I suppose I'll have to add it though - it wouldn't be fair otherwise :)

Thanks everyone! Yes it's cherry inside the cottage cheese (according to google translation) so, yes, with sugar-sweet marzipan and mastic paste on top the acidic taste of cherry in biscuit and fresh cheese texture makes realy tasty mix

I actually have a mastic tree I grew from seed, but it's only about a foot high and they grow slowly, so it will be awhile before I can harvest any. On the other hand, my climate should produce good mastic tears.

As our final project for my art class, we made ceramic mugs! We were supposed to make them with some sort of face or creature, so I made one with Reynir's face and beautiful hair on it. :D It was a ton of fun to make, I don't often work with clay, so it was challenging, but I'm really happy with how it turned out! :)

Fabulous! (Loving double Onni) But, what is Gamle Ting Og Boder?
It is (I hope! ;D) Danish for "Old Things and Books" - à la the shop (http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=542) in Chapter 11

So we did a pewter casting thing in my art class a while ago, and I was like, hey, I have an idea! Thus this really heavy, slightly deformed, SSSS pendant was created.

That’s really cool! It also reminds me to look up what pewter (and stoneware, for that matter) actually is because I’ve never been quite sure.pewter is a soft metal alloy that's mostly tin and a little bit Assorted Other Stuff (mostly antimony, a little copper, silver and/or lead) that's used for decorative stuff; stoneware is a hard ceramic that's used a lot for cookware and baking dishes and teapots and whatnot because it handles high temperatures well
