Here are my first 2.5D Next crafts. It is also my first time using foamcore and I simply LOVE IT! Such details. Much realism. Wow! My friend helped me with the walls. They are made out of clay that is currently drying. I fear it might be too fragile to use though. We'll see. I think my floor might be a little bit boring. I was thinking of dry-brushing it with a light grey or a beige-white mix. Not sure. Test 001 by MaestriaProductions, on Flickr First test layout inspired of DMScotty's stamp layout. Test 002 by MaestriaProductions, on Flickr Second test layout. Test 003 by MaestriaProductions, on Flickr Since I am still playing with the grid, I think it blends in pretty well.

I think your first go at 2.5d (it is still fairly new to all of us, really) is looking pretty great so far. As we all know about painting though, the devil is in the details. Once things dry up and you add some dry-brushing it will really put your early efforts over the top. Thanks for sharing!

haven't started yet... my biggest problem has always been painting.... some how i got trees that are too bright. others that are just fine. others that are still too dark. it seems even though im using the same technique. my stuff always ends up very different from one to another.
your stuff looks awesome as it is. mine just look like cartoon out of the 90ies !

This stuff looks fantastic! I would highly recommend doing some painting on the walls (so that they match a bit better) and definitely try some drybrushing! Try it out on a test piece first, so that you can get a bit of practice (though it isn't hard, you just have to get used to how much paint/pressure you use). I promise you that you will not be sorry!

Nice! What did you use on the floor tiles to make the edges look like that?

I tried using Elmer's foam core, and the paper doesn't seem to be made to come off of it. Where did you get yours?
