I couldn’t fit Dingleberry Handpump :( I made Grand Tour James’ house the Bug-out Bunker, and so far younger Jeremy and James have the Top Gear studio in their house

You gave me a great idea :,) I’ve put them on Redbubble as cheap as possible if you’re interested, I mostly wanted a shirt or magnet for my car

Omg I wish I could design that James Gin bottle like that. You're talented.

Thank you!! It was an hour and a half of labor, I regretted having to draw glass instantly but nothing gets in my way of committing to the bit

Damn 90 minutes?! That's impressive. I got no patience. Any tips?

I will say once you start it, your patience REALLY starts to get tested so it’s important to push through that initial feeling. I started out with a base color and base geometric shapes of the bottle. Once I got it the shape I wanted, I broke down the bottle into sections to focus on one at a time—bottle neck and cork, side walls, bottom of bottle, label I did last. Then I broke it down even further into recognizing/condensing very small shapes in the reference pic of the James Gin. A lot of it is really just tedium, but by working on one section of small shapes at a time it becomes easier!

I appreciate the thoughtfu reply! Breaking it down into quadrants is good advice. I guess I better put on a podcast or movie and buckle down.
I really really hope they let us exchange designs in the future, ACNH allows it and I think Miitopia does too.

Of course! And yeah I had to listen to YouTube videos the whole time 💀 I hope they allow design exchange too, I’d be more than happy to share stuff. Want me to send you a pic of my gin pixel art to give you an idea of how I broke it down?
