What are these? It's 18 Cthulhus and 36 fresno nightcrawlers fresh off the sewing machine! 🪡🧵

Up next is flipping them all right-side-out, adding buttons, stuffing them up, and sewing them closed!

I’m done keeping it a secret! My big project of the year is a life-size green sea turtle bust whom I’ve affectionately named “Salsa Verde”

So far I’ve finished sculpting and molding, and still have another flipper to cast before all casting is done. So thrilled with it!!
The finished sculpture of a green sea turtle bust, sculpted out of WED clay, a water-based clay. A quick picture of the empty mold’s head region, molded with Ultracal, a plaster/gypsum material. A zoomed in picture of the main bust and one flipper cast in latex and expanding foam.

#ShopUpdate:
I’ve officially decided to open up the Red Dragon and Flying Bison wall mounts for preorders!

I’m expecting to start production mid-July, in order to allow me to lighten my workload with other projects first.

“Delicious?” Yes. “Dungeon?” No, that’s just my yard. But to the fearsome and ferocious Red Dragon, that doesn’t matter!

Red dragon mounts will hopefully be open for orders in July. Until then, check out my available items: www.MantodeaMarket.com

My Dungeon Meshi red dragon prototype is DONE! I am so insanely proud of how it turned out. The plaque is 9”x7” and the horns are super sturdy. I’ll have orders open once my workload lightens:)
