Hah, so this is a thing I said I'd do, so I figured I should show how they turned out. I saw this tutorial on tumblr on how to make Shrinky-Dink keychains, and I thought it looked pretty fun! I'd never tried Shrinky-Dinkery before. So, I attempted to make some keychains out of the little turian heads I drew for the ongoing Gaggle of Turians contest header.I made a bunch, and managed to ruin most of them. Pictured above are the survivors! Not pictured are a few micro-Chellicks I made because....???
Anyway, they turned out OK, but I think I'd need to experiment more to really get a quality thing out of them. For one thing, I think the sealer I used was way too shiny. TOO SHINY. THE SHINY, IT BURRRRNS.
But yeah. It was fun!'d recommend trying it, if you enjoy fun things.

Awww, thank you! I may try to perfect a process sometime. Until then, I'm not sure whether it would really turn out profitable for all the time and ink and experimenting it would take, so I'm kinda considering just making print sheets available so people can make their own Shrinky Dinks. Because Shrinky Dinks are fun?

They look so awesome. I love them and I love the cartoon style of the turians. They do look really good. When your comfortable making these would you be selling them and possibly;y make custom Turians ?

Hey, thank you! As for selling them... I dunno! I know that's a lame and no-fun answer. I'd probably need to make a lot more before I was able to make them a consistent quality, and even then after supplies I don't know if I would be able to price them reasonably and still make a profit without selling a whooooole bunch of them.
If I were to do any custom ones, I think it would be more likely that I could sell printer-ready artwork so people could print and bake their own Shrinky-Dinks, but even then I don't know how I'd go about pricing something like that.

Aw, well thank you for commenting! Honestly, it's a pretty awesome idea. I wish my job were something as cool as making turian paraphernalia. *wistful* XD
