Darth Meanie 13,607 Posted March 9, 2018 My wife has been playing around with a technique called Acrylic Pour for her painting hobby. I immediately thought "dang that looks like a space cloud." Using the templates from HotAC cut out of Masonite, I turned them over and got these back: 18 2 Kieransi, SabineKey, Kleeg005 and 17 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marinealver 8,038 Posted March 20, 2018 Maybe it is just the camera work I don't think they look much like a nebulous clouds. Too pastel it is hard to see through them (again might just be the camera) and the edges seem too rigid, not fluffy enough. However cut them into circles and they would look perfect as gas giants. I'm seeing more wind-bands of Juputer than Eagle Nebula here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrimmyV 7,421 Posted March 20, 2018 Wrong franchise, Star Trek is where funky space clouds live. But I think SW has room for them too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragon_King 47 Posted March 20, 2018 they look nice Would also be nice to see a third kind of obstacle in the game. Nebula/Ion Clouds 1 Darth Meanie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kieransi 5,860 Posted March 20, 2018 Those are really sweet! I agree with the others, they look kinda trippy and phychadelic. They'd probably show up in the old Marvel Star Wars comics! I think you need to come up with some sort of HotAC mission that involves those. Also, I'm super jealous and kinda want some now! Do you know if there's a tutorial or something about how your wife made those? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperWookie 184 Posted March 20, 2018 Ion clouds in place of asteroids or debris fields would be pretty sweet. 1 Darth Meanie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can also look for the topics "dirty pour" and "acrylic swipe."
