I wanted to put some acrilix in front of the cases but it seems every business in the area has been building forts out of the stuff to cover their check out lines/registers, so I decided to call it with this. Getting the two cases to plug in together was a pain in the butt. I ended up having to take these rather heavy things down to rethink the method and try again. But even after getting them to sort of work, I think I screwed something up because they wont stay on for long before the adapter gets stupidly hot and shuts them down. Gonna have to keep them powered off until I can get around to figuring out what the problem is. I can only assume they cases didn't plug in properly, as I was kinda doing that blind.

I love those diorama-like scenes, can you post some closer pics? How you made them? Plan to do more?
I can't imagine a coolest way to expose figma.

>>3060
The plan was to make backgrounds and dioramas for each space in the units. They're basically just BG I screen capped or found online and printed out. I'll eventually have to redo the backgrounds that are in place now because I made them with another display case in mind which I was using before this.
And sorry for the shit quality cam. It needs good lighting but I'm planing on leaving the case off for now because I think there's a fault in the wiring causing a short. The power adapters I connect to this thing get stupidly hot and turn off, which could possibly start a fire. It sucks but I think I'm gonna have to take these cases back down, open them up, and fix the wiring.

Keep postings pics if you feel like, quality is fine, the whole idea seems quite amazing to me.
I love to see those huge projects to make a room to look like a museum.

I really enjoyed this and your proceeding posts, and the food does indeed look very tasty. Thanks for posting it!

I was going to post a few pictures on the steps of making fried rice, but the quality was so bad that it wasn't worth it. Here's one most of the way through. It's basically fried rice for people who don't want to put that much effort into it, I eat this just about every evening in one large portion, because I do not eat very much for the majority of the day. The thing that dictates taste most is how well the rice is made (how much water to use, how long to cook it). After this it's easy to be consistent. After you make the rice, make some eggs in a pan (I use 3 usually) and scramble them on about half way heat on the gas burner. You don't need to cook them completely just so that they're not runny because you still have to add rice etc and they will continue cooking. Then put all the rice in the pan and stir it up with the eggs. When it's all stirred add oil (any kind works, I have olive oil) what I do is put a little bit around the rim of what's in the pan. Then stir it up and add soy/tamari sauce. The amount of this used is the second thing that dictates taste, and if you use low salt or regular kind. I usually make 1.5 cups of dry rice, and based on what I measured today about 1/8 cup (not exact) of sauce works well. Then stir it and leave it till it browns rice a bit, then add vegetables. Sometimes I add green onion if I have it but I don't today. I usually just use a ton of broccoli. I get it frozen, with that you can just take it out of the freezer and put it in the pan frozen. A good way to gauge when its done is just to turn off the heat when the vegetables have thawed out completely. It's a pretty quick meal to make, and it tastes great at least I think so. The process is basically stir, wait 10 seconds, stir, etc. until it's done. You could probably very easily make better fried rice by looking it up a bit and putting some more things in, but far as I'm concerned it's 80% of the result for a fraction of the effort.

Here's what I've been eating for breakfast lately. Pancake with whipped cream and instant coffee with milk.

The pancake recipe is as follows:
Dry: 1/2 cup (~60 g) flour, 1 Tbsp (~12 g) sugar, 1 tsp (~4 g) each of baking powder and spice mixture, a sprinkle of salt.
Wet: 1 Tbsp (~15 mL) oil (I've been using canola but any neutral oil works), 1 egg, 1/4 cup (60 mL) milk.
Mix dry with dry, wet with wet, then mix dry with wet. I cook it at a low heat, and when the top has bubbles all over it I flip it once. It takes maybe 10 minutes or less in total on the stove. I don't measure anything for it, but the batter should not be too runny. It should be somewhat thick.

For the whipped cream, I start by keeping a metal mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer overnight. I take it from the freezer and pour in 1-2 Tbsp (15-30 mL) of heavy whipping cream and lately 1 tsp (4 g) sugar. I then whisk the shit out of it, which takes about 3-5 minutes. I usually do the whisking while the pancake is on the stove and after I've washed the dishes.

Homemade whipped cream is the best. Nice mug too.

It's not on purpose
My art style has been influenced a lot by ZUN's art and Akira Toriyama's earlier works, so it can sometimes seem like I'm purposefully drawing that way when drawing 2hu's
But nah, it's my regular art style that I use for all of my drawings

This is a cute thread.

>>3042
I second that. Please keep them coming.

And now our beloved Cirno! Daiyousei had something fun to show her early in the morning, but she was sleeping and still isnt 100% awake yet
Yukari gave her those pajamas and slippers from the outside world as a gift, as she found a tiny little fairy beating the shit out of Okina very amusing

This man speaks the truth. Don't worry too much about what you're telling, what matters is how you do it.

A little bit. I come up with stories sometimes and plenty of characters. I want to make some manga someday, I want to tell those stories even if what I make never goes beyond getting published. I just want them to be told. But drawing is exhausting for me and artists are so good at getting out so many good pictures in a short amount of time. I don't think I'll ever be able to get to that point and if I do I'll be the most tired I have ever been by the time I'm done. Still, I try to practice drawing.

>>553
This. There no reason to worry.
Read more interesting stuff and eventually you will came up with something nice. Take it easy, anon!

>I was re-reading Negima
I like you just from this alone. I love Negima. I started using the name Negi Springfield 10 years ago. It's one of the most enduring names I've used online. So, it goes without saying that Negima has a special place in my heart.

>not using a Negima pic for your OP
I'm a bit disappointed.

I want to nitpick about the decision to make the panels into weird squares like that, but I suppose that it's up to the author. The art is good, however.

I don't have any talent in drawing whatsoever, so I cannot participate because I'm a useless failure incapable of keeping up.

>>2783
That is a very tohno-chan like post of you.

I think 4komas would be good practice for drawing. Once I get a bit better I might try to make some.

I like the fact there is no UK.

Realistic = ugly.

wide flat and chinky

I just thought up a nightmare scifi scenario I'd like to ask if you think its spooky enough before fleshing out the idea. The hypothesis I'm basing my idea on is that after humans go into space and live in low/zero gravity situations the physical penalties for obesity are reduced and the fatties are able to grow to enormous sizes without being crushed to death under the weight of their own hideous mass. After a few generations the fatties have evolved bodies more in line with their excess nutritional intake and as everything else about them grows, so does their brains. The fattest of fatties grow super smart and conquer humanity completely, possibly eating a lot of us in the process and eventually enormous space whales the size of planets rule the universe an thats how it all plays out in the end. Fatties win bigtime.
What do you think?

>>2930
Common bro.

>>2930
They did it two years before your post, how's that recent?

>>2941
You have misread my post date >>2912

>>2930
Better draw it now before you get sniped again.

>>2947
You are correct, my mistake, sorry.

>>2943
Neat idea, but I can't come up with a title for this adventure. I'll brainstorm for a couple of days.

Yume gingerly put the headphones on, closing her eyes as she did so. After pausing for a few seconds, and nothing happening, the small seed of doubt had grown larger - that perhaps the old man was lying, and that he had played her for a fool. After all, the idea that he had gave her a pair of headphones that allowed her to enter the land of dreams seemed laughable. Why hadn't she realised before? With a mix of frustration, anger, and disappointment, Yume went to take the headphones off.

Yume froze. The familiar sight of her compact bedroom had disappeared; it had been replaced by a grand, spacious train station. Her once quiet surroundings exchanged with the hubbub of bustling commuters; her colourless bedroom substituted for the plethora of vivid colours that sprang from the scene before her. Ornate steam trains, more than she could count, soared gracefully into and out of the station, each passenger car filled with odd looking commuters. Yume smiled as she surveyed the passenger cars and their curious inhabitants. Samurai, spacemen, princesses, mice in top hats, several clowns, pirates, and a very large and grumpy looking cat were the occupants of just one passenger car. Yume examined the multitude of trains, unable to decide which one to board. Which train would she board? Where would she go? Each train seemed to offer an adventure, each adventure different from the last. Maybe these headphones aren't so bad after all, Yume thought to herself, grinning from ear to ear.

I'd really appreciate it if any anons could provide some constructive criticism, it'd be really useful
