The Fire Ferrets trio from Avatar: The Legend of Korra. I was able to print them out on shrinky dink films successfully, in 50~83% opacity. The first picture is right after the initial bake of inkjet-printed shrink dink films; they look near perfect. I was super excited to put them out for sale at Fanime 2012. The very last step was to coat them with glaze and bake once more; but the printer ink had very bad reaction to the glaze…. as can be seen on the second picture TT___TT Apparently, ink printed on shrinky dink film starts to melt and bubble when the powder glaze starts to melt on top of it. So, I ended up only having a handful of chibis that looked good enough to be sold. =(
Now, one might think that I learned my lesson and will make better shrinky dink chibis next time. Well, no. I don’t think I’ll ever make shrinky dink chibis for sale anymore. They require too much time and effort than how much profit I can make out of them. It was fun though =]
