Fall snacks are so fun. I love unhinging my jaw to swallow whole pumpkins and dry leaves.

One of my favourite Cryptids, the Loveland Frogman! This is my second time making one, went shorter and fatter this round. :)

A figurine of a squat, frog-like creature holding a staff.

The same figurine, seen from behind, showing off the spots on his back.

The frog man figurine, seen in darkness. His eyes and the top of his staff glow.

The same figurine, showing how his markings glow in the dark.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

The traditional fat frogs based on the Desert Rain Frog, with a spooky glowing twist. And one with a crown, for a bit of variety. 👑

These will be coming with me to the Toronto Game Expo in November.

#Frogs #PolymerClay #Miniatures #Spooky

A pair of tiny, round Frog figurines, made of grey speckled clay. Both have tight, frowning expressions, and the one on the left has a small black crown.

The same figurines, showing off their glow in the dark feature. They gave patterns that do not glow, including stripes beneath their eyes, creating a spooky effect.

Flat illustration from 2022 of owls perched on a branch at night against a dark blue sky. The owls decrease in size as they get close stacked in front, while also growing bright orange. The effect resembles a flame. The owls, back to front (large to small) are Great Gray, Great Horned, Long-eared, Screech, and Saw-whet.

This is why, more and more, I just can't muster up any desire to be a success in the mainstream art world. They want AI to make "content" for people who don't care.

I care about my art, and I want to give it to an audience who cares.

An audience i like and respect.

Hey bitty friends, if I offered YCH comms, would you be interested? These would be limited to three for each design, full body, full colour. Something I can work on when my tendons need a sculpting break.

For my night goblins, the coffee guzzler.

Bittythings And Beasts @bittythings.bsky.social · 3d

From Fear Mall, as it's run by a local coffee place (Coffin Creek), I thought making a Coffee Cryptid was appropriate. :) He's had enough of this world, he only wants caffeine now.

It's spooky month, feels like a good time to share these spooky pieces. :)

#PolymerClay #Spooky #OriginalSpecies

A figurine of a white, humanoid creature leaning into a coffee mug with a pumpkin on it. Its head is half submerged.

The same figurine, seen from above. From this angle, we can see bubbles being blown in the fluid of the mug.

The same figure, glowing in the dark. The creature and pumpkin on the mug both glow.
