For the final set of figures, i figured as we're getting so close to the release of Octopath Traveler 0, I'd make some of the story characters we'll be meeting again!

First we have Richard who is here to offer everyone RIVER BEANS!

Just a reminder there's a week and a half left till the store closes!

Good news, Etsy is allowing labels to the USA again so now the Etsy store is worldwide again, no faffing about!

So if you'd like any of the main 16 Travellers, or a CotC traveller drop on by!

A reminder, if you'd like a little traveler (or main character) for yourself -

Stores are open until the end of November, so about 3 weeks left!

The second set of Travellers is finally here...

Today it's Durand, the thief who also conviently looks like a pirate 😏

Found time to do another couple of Octopuffs 🥰

Desert Octopuff (being a little samurai) and Island Octopuff (gotta hunt for that meat!)

No new travellers last week as I was busy with life stuff, but I did find some time to finally make some octopuffs!

Little Miner Puff is definitely my favourite Octopuff out of all eight 🥰

Our first new traveller arrives!

Leon, daring ex-pirate turned merchant captain!

The store is open again! For October-path!

Everyone is here to celebrate, on the new, very blue, work desk setup! They'll have to scoot over to let me work though 🙄

Manda's Marvellous Mysteries is having an 'Octoberpath' month! To celebrate the new game coming, and as an excuse to have the soundtracks on repeat while I work.

So what does that actually entail?
Both personal pieces and store work!

The final part of Vagrant Story, but as a cuter, isometric-ish style game, made of clay, and Ashley's encountered a boss fight in the Snowfly forest...

Vagrant Story, it's still a cuter, isometric-ish style game, made of clay, only somehow it's taken Ashley a year to reach the Undercity... I guess he got lost or something.

Complete collection of Adol and Dogi from the Ys Series.

(Arranged in vaguely timeline order, not game release order)

#ys #falcom #fanart #polymerclay #handmade

I know I said it'd be less figures, more dioramas this year but I recently finished Ys X and it ignited a burning fire inside me that had to be burnt out... with FIGURES.

So heres a Ys 1/2/3 Dogi to go with the Adol from last year...

The crafters dilemma of amassing a never ending collection of random plastic pots, lids, weird plastic shapes and the like, and you have no idea what you will ever use them for, but vehemently refuse to ever throw them out.

So to start setting that diorama-esque vibe, we're going all the way back to 2018, with my Legend of Zelda:Oracle of Seasons illustration.

Everything made out of modelling clay (plasticine) except Link and the floor/background which is a painted paper sheet.

Where things stand currently.

The store is on hiatus for the foreseeable future.

I want to spend this year focusing a little more on diorama work over just figurines.

I have some ideas on the books, I just got to get moving with that.

Gonna post some old stuff for now.

Enjoy this hedgehog 🦔

Said I'd try and move over here... then proceeds to disappear off the face of the planet 🙃

Probably going to be trying to migrate a little over here, but it'll be a process 🤣

Probably commit to it more when the new year rolls round.

But I'm here. Sort of. 😅
