A little fun side project- and my first somewhat-formal try at silicone! This is a teeny squishy version of the gargoyle I recently released, made by scanning the original with my phone’s LiDAR scanner and 3D printing a (mini) mold based on that! Pretty happy with the turnout, I need to make an ARMY

Would non-three-dimensional art be of interest to anyone over here?? Give me a shout if so!! Would love to broaden my range a bit….

*Officially* tried out linocut for the first time!!! Of course I had to carve some Fresno Nightcrawlers, I had a ton of fun and want to do more stuff like this!! One of these already sold to a friend, and I’m thinking about putting the rest up on @playdeadprops.com if there’s interest… let me know!!

Well they’ve made it this far!!! Just pulled the first test out of the plaster mold (cast in latex with a soft foam fill, so they’re super squishy!!!) and while it wasn’t perfect, it’s a good enough proof of concept!! On to painting, coming to @playdeadprops.com soon…….

The Deets 🎨:

Originally sculpted by hand in Monster Clay (soft grade), then molded with Smooth-On Mold Star 16 Fast and cast in solid white resin! Hand painted in acrylics, washed with black FW ink, and finally clearcoated!

Never got a chance to post about these here, but these are little fellas I made in honor of this past @furrydelphia.org!! I only ended up making two (so far), one that I gifted to the wonderful @spinchcat.bsky.social and the original “prototype” which I have, any ideas what to do with the mold now??

Prometheus has his first consult tomorrow to discuss the surgery coming up and everything that's going to entail. It's going to be tough💖

You can still help fund his surgery, though!

Here's Prometheus! While Burmese Pythons are usually quite large, this little fella is tiny and will make the perfect desk or shelf companion!...

Hey y’all!! So if you haven’t checked it out already, one of the items available in our shop is a small hand-made latex Prometheus squish. 100% of the proceeds from that item go directly to his surgery fund, and you’ll get a cute little sticker too (see below)! Link is under this thread, thank you!!
