I finally decided to jump into the nerd games… I’m starting with my favourite projects over the last 10 years, in no particular order.
Acrylic painting
The painting below was inspired by a photograph I took during our family’s “big trip” in 2018-2019 (RV tour of US/Canada). I took the picture at Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park in NB, as my husband was walking in front of me, him and the 3 kids holding hands. I painted myself into the picture 
Watercolour
Pencil Drawing
I drew the picture below from a poster for the movie Logan (excellent film, btw. Also, the honest trailer for it is awesome. Aren’t all honest trailers, though?)
I drew Professor X, below, from a still from the same movie.
Ink/alcohol marker Drawing
Cakes
I made the cake below for my son’s birthday. I got my children into Back to the Future, because I’m a total BTTF geek.
For my daughter’s 11th birthday, she wanted a “sleepover theme” and asked all her friends to come in pyjamas to her middle-of-the-afternoon party.
Can all we adults take a page from her book and do all parties like this from now on? Please? 
Anyway, this is the cake I made for her:
Charcoal Drawing
There was this beautiful picture of a dock on the wall at my massage therapist’s office. I always liked looking at it, so I decided to draw it. I snapped a picture and then used charcoal to re-create it.
ATC
Finally, I think this may be the ATC I’ve made that I like most so far. It’s mixed media: collage, ink, and alcohol marker. Also, it’s available for a direct swap if anyone is interested

You don’t have to ask this lady twice to assemble when you have that many stacked cookies 
Hand 'em over lol! But in all seriousness, I really like this page and all the elements in it.

I have a question… a while ago I found a post that explained what the different types of projects were (zap, research, tutorial, etc…) and now I can’t find it. Can someone direct me to it?
I was also wondering if this post would be considered a tutorial:
Thank you for any clarification
P.S. I’m so glad I found this site, and I appreciate you all

That’s the first post of this thread; the breakdown is a ways down, under “The Points” (after the team and header info).
It’ll also be in the first post of any season’s thread – when the fall Games start, the new thread will have the info again so you don’t have to hunt down past seasons for it.

I think that counts as a tutorial. Welcome to the Nerd Games!

Project Name: Midnight Burger Fan Art
Project Link: Zebulon and Effie Mucklewain
Brief Description: I love the podcast Midnight Burger! It’s heartwarming and quirky and hysterical! This little piece depicts 2 of my favorite characters (who am I kidding—they are ALL my favorites!) who live in an old-time radio. They are Zebulon and Effie Mucklewain from Toadsuck, Arkansas (and they are, apparently, “the Hot Ones”. If you listen, you’ll know why that’s kind of funny). They offer advice, support, and hysterical commentary. I laugh out loud every single time I listen!
