Hi, I’m Sky. I’m a miniaturist exploring digital landscapes via hand-cut dioramas primarily made from paper! Hellyeah!

Fox is SO ice cold to these dinos in need!!

Sky Burkson @skyburkson.bsky.social · 17d

My favorite part of Star Fox Adventures is when you find the kidnapped mammoth princess she thinks you’re there to save her and Fox very coldly replies “no, your dad didn’t tell me to do that. Now out of the way, i gotta blow up that wall over there.”

Been replaying Star Fox Adventures bit by bit.

I love how the game establishes that two dino species are prejudiced against each other and it's never acknowledged again.

The only purpose it serves is to explain why Tricky isn't with you in one of the levels. Because he's dino-racist.

in this dumb dumb world I have come to realize that Kirby has been the best role model for my kid to be obsessed with by teaching him that he can
- be cute as hell
- become anything he wants if he ingests enough of it
- fight God themself

Hellyeah! You should, paper is fun and challenging. I always recommend if you can’t find a “simple” thing you like, pick and make a cool “doorway”. It’s a nice in road to scratch builds.

Sky Burkson @skyburkson.bsky.social · 21d

Thanks!
I build up the basic shapes from bristol paper and cardstock, shave and sand the layers as close as possible to what I need and then tighten up the forms with either thin sketchbook paper or individual ply toilet paper until it’s smooth. Edges aren’t 100% hidden but I like an occasional edge

Yes, I did get to the top of Mt. Fay. Thank you for asking.

My million dollar idea is a LEGO controller kit that comes with no electronic components but feels just like a typical pro controller that you can have near you while playing specifically Silksong
