The whole process we went through to make these things was tiring.

The carbon black paint I was using kept drying and flaking off () so I had to touch it up with some india ink. IRL it looks kinda clumpy in some places but that's okay, 'cause I'm really proud of this.

_{And sorry to the four people who had already commented when this was a scrap, I deleted and resubmitted it to my main gallery.}
