I persevered despite my stomach hating me and made progress on the creaturea

Finished painting and clear coating my little Arowana during the hurricane and I am delighted with him!!

Almost every paint I used was metallic, even the little green bit above his eyes, so he's incredibly shiny.

Process pics below the cut!

Made with model magic air dry clay and a couple of toothpicks inside to hold him up. Supported with a ton of tinfoil because I neglected to give him an armature at the beginning.

I spent a few days in the psych ward, and each of those days I spent making different Bill Cipher related art projects. I'll take better pics later, here are the pics i have for now. Yes, the key instead of the keyhole is on purpose. It's supposed to mirror the Ciphertology symbol, not be a copy.

Cosplay critter studies

the cosplay critters have used many different mediums to create their unique and wonderful costumes, foam clay, polymer clay, bendy CosClay, faux suede, resin, card stock…

the cosplay pony is wearing a full set of armor made of flexible CosClay painted with pearl acrylic paint and decorated with clay sakura blossoms and pinstripes

perfect.

The childhood glee that this sent me into. I missed this stuff like breathing— I thought it was discontinued years ago. This is so much easier than air dry clay. IM SO HAPPY

All of the model magic figures I’ve made (all the original drawings I based these off of are by fummy the creator of the witch’s house, you can find them on his line shop!! https://store.line.me/stickershop/author/759888/en )

Also I have been just incredibly autistic about fish lately, of all things to firmly hyperfixate on.

Like standing in my house Jason Vorhees style deep breathing looking at my art supplies because I NEED to paint a fish despite whatever plans I had.

So after months of this I grabbed everything and painted a rather huge and very colorful Crappie with metallic acrylic paints, on Bristol board. It's very shimmery in person.

Recently I wanted that shimmer but in 3D so I grabbed some model magic and made an arowana and a dollar sunfish, a local and very beautiful little fish I caught recently on a micro hook. Going to paint and varnish them to see how they look.

I took up microfishing just to catch things and look at them, then put them back. Turns out we have beautiful iridescent fish everywhere and the whole world is full of shimmering glittering beautiful things that live just out of view.

Okay pic spam, I'm throwing my wip pics here, and my Rosethorn sideblog can be for tutorials and finished pieces ^^

This was yesterday before work's doing, made a mod podge and paint mix to be jam on bread and pie/tart filling!! I'm hoping that the little paper confetti looks like berry bits once I later on more of the mix, and that I can match the color-- it's a mix of two acrylics, because why do things easy?

Today I'm home sick, my meds have kicked in enough that I can be up and doing quiet, calm things, like carefully scraping texture into a dozen model magic macarons by hand X'D

Or making over sixty blackberries by hand!!

I originally meant to go back and try to give them that little-berry-blobs-stuck-together texture, but lemme tell you, I used up all my patience just keeping them from sticking to one another (and reshaping the ones that did touch and immediately fuse together -__-)

Between teaching kids how to mix colors with clay at work, and wanting to expand my own doll food collection without spending as much as Make It Minis charge (and the gambling aspect. Like, if I'm going for a fun surprise, it's great, but once you open your fifth red velvet bundt cake, the magic starts to run a little dry), I've been making a lot of model magic clay food. I like the texture and weight of it, dry and while working with it. I like being able to just keep some in a baggy and squishing/shaping it. I like how smoothly the colors blend

I also finally found a nice yellowish wood color paper!!! And it's a giant roll of it too!!

I have to cut it to scale, the wood is sized for 1:1 wood flooring, but layering the brown paper and then cutting my own wood panels works well so far. We'll see how it goes once it's done!
