Are those copies of the covers glued on wood. making a very long story short , born with dyslexia and visual processing problems , my whole life i have picked apart pictures in my mind. seen the people in front blocking that which is behind them made my eyes see "3D". hard to explain, i know! fast forward to when i began scrolling... now i can show what i see. i buy comic books that pop out to me, glue the cover to 1/2" play wood, then i cut cut each person or object then glue them back. background is what is not cut. back row is glued back poking out 1/16", next row 1/8" and so on. on the Wolverine in the picture the right knife sticks out so far that the whole 1/2" is exposed to give even more depth. hope that explains that! -chris John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 would be fun to see the finished pieces in person. I find it a little difficult to really see the effects, but then I am old and don't get everything. Dick heppnerguy 3Dface 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the comment. so you glue the cover to the plywood. you then gut out whatever image you want to make 3D but this is where I have a Q? What if the object you want to cut out is not an edge cut, meaning you need to drill a pilot hole. How are dealing with the pilot hole in either the 3D piece that you cut or in the background part of the cover which is not 3D in the end. The other q I have is around how you are proping the 3D image up at a difference height so to speak if both are laying flat on a surface? Are you putting spacers in behind the 3D piece to prop it out as high/far as you want it to be? I would imagine that you have to mount both the 3d piece, its spacers and the background which is the rest of the comic book cover on a thin backer of sorts? Lastly what to you finish the cover with once it is completely done, given the amount of work involved I would like to know how the longevity of the piece will be, meaning do you put anything on it to preserve and extend the life of the piece. Modge Podge for example thanks for the clarification, I find this interesting and really appealing and I know a friend that would absolutely go over the moon to get one as a gift and I think I may give it a go. I think your work is awesome! and I am sure that those will sell for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your work is awesome! and I am sure that those will sell for you. pilot holes are easy to deal with... i always drill the hole in a corner of said image and then cut from the outside of the hole. this leaves no "drill bit curve" in the background and is only noticeable on the cut piece if you know what you are looking for. it also helps that i use a 1mm drill bit. there are no spacers. it all fits together like a puzzle so i place the first piece into the puzzle only sticking out a little and spot hot glue it into place the add the next piece and repeat. when all pieces are in place the way i want i glue all the edges together. the final coating it 5 to 7 coats of high gloss clear spray paint.

I presume you to that from the back side correct? what kind of high gloss clear spray? Edited October 8, 2018 by WayneG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you to that from the back side correct? what kind of high gloss clear spray? i spot glue so that if i do not like the composition i can cut the bond and repossession the piece. then it is heavy hot glue on all seams. back front ( this hulk was the last one i made before i began putting frames on all covers) you can see the layers of the ply as parts are moved out. in most cases the exaggerates the 3D appearance. . i use 77 spray glue to put the cover on the wood. then it gets 7 coats of krylon triple thick gloss. then it is cut, glued, has the frame attached, then 7 coats of rustoleum 2X gloss spray paint. i cut the wood for the frame from 1/8" luan and use jewelry box corners to mount it.
