To those who are migrating their way to other social platforms, I do have a twitter account that I use frequently! I rarely do much on this account aside from a few reblogs here and there, so hmu on twitter instead if you’d like
Hello everyone!! We have decided to push back the pre-order date to give the contributors time to both work on their pieces but also have time to spend time with their families during the holiday season!
The new date is January 5th, 2019! Let the new year start with Gladnis! 🥂
Memento Amare (Remember to love) is a fanzine that is dedicated to the love between Ignis Scientia and Gladiolus Amicitia.
This zine will feature works from talented artists and writers from around the world, taking you on a journey through different age periods, to show the development of their relationship.
There will be more updates and announcements soon, but in the meantime, check out our twitter for more information!
I finally have a store open!! Lots of FFXV and other products I’ve sold at some cons! Please take a look and enjoy, and I’ll have other new products coming up soon! <3
[Background] Gladio was just about done moving into his new apartment when the neighbour’s…unusual cats decided to drop by and say hi. 📦🐈🐈
On his end, Ignis is none too pleased about his purrs giving the newcomer a heart attack on his first day on the block, but it was a good opportunity to break the ice. Long story short, they crash at each other’s place a lot now. :3
(PS. Said purrs ship their owner with the new guy and may/may not be plotting to hook them up.)
A quick tutorial on making cheap collapsible props: build them on PVC pipes with screw-apart connectors.
Acquire PVC piping (approx. $3-7 depending on size), PVC cement (approx. $5) and appropriate connectors (approx. $2-3 each). There is a male and female side. These ones attach externally but sometimes you can find ones that attach internally on a shank.
Lay out pipes on workbench, elevated so you have better access to them.
Screw connectors together. I like to glue connectors on while they are screwed together because it helps me control the rotation. If you have nothing on the pipe it may not matter, but if for example, you have a blade at each end of the pipe, and you glue the connectors on separately, then you may end up with a blade on one end rotated differently from the blade at the other end.
Score up surface of PVC pipe (and inside connectors) with a craft knife or rough sandpaper. This creates scratches that the glue can bite into.
Time for PVC cement. This stuff is noxious so please wear a respirator. If you don’t have one, get one. (If you can’t or won’t, work outside with good ventilation. for the love of god.) Apply PVC cement around the circumference of the pipe and to the inside of the connector. Squish together.
Let glue set.
Repeat on other side.
Wait until fully cured, and then disassemble/assemble to your heart’s content.
I used these for a commissioned kit for a Yoko Ritona rifle so that it could collapse for travel/storage:
