ATCs with stickers
Aug. 13th, 2022 09:56 pmSooooo I have some new ATCs! These were for a forum game / swap thingy: someone sent me an assortment of interesting stickers, and I had to create artist trading cards using at least three of those on each.
Here's an overview of the stickers I received:

And this is what became of them:

Since I had a pretty old-fashioned castle and a campfire among my stickers, I wanted to create a scene with a touch of fantasy. The third sticker used to be a green patterned whale (WHY??? Who designs these stickers?!?), but I cut it up and made it the lady's skirt instead.
(Used stickers marked in orange on the overview sheet).

Here, I had several galaxy and star motifs as well as a lantern and a butterfly/moth (can't identify the species; don't care much)... It was immediately clear what I wanted to do with them! Okay, the galaxy washi tape has been mostly painted over, but, there are enough other stickers involved... It was fun to continue the sticker motifs as semlessly as possible!
(Used stickers marked in light blue on the overview sheet).

When in doubt, paint a mermaid! But I couldn't help it: the shiny gold fabric tape just lent itself to a scaly tail. And I could not NOT use the gemstone... I mean - PINK SPARKLE! XD
(Used stickers marked in pink on the overview sheet).

This one maybe requires an explanation: the Wolpertinger is a South German mythical animal. Bavarians encounter it all the time (at least after a few beers), but unfortunately, we don't have it in the north. XD And I had two purple owls, from different sticker sheets! I found that so weird (like: is there a huge market for purple owls?!?) that I had to make something with them right away. The large leaves in the HG were once a salad sticker... And the wings of the Wolpertinger are fluffy cotton stickers. :)

I took some artistic license with the geology: in reality, that particular rock is even higher, but if I'd drawn it correctly, no one could see the lady sitting up there, combing her hair. (Except maybe as a blob.) I also added a very classical watery horse for good measure.
Still not quite up to date, but at least I didn't fall any further behind...
