☀️🌸 Okami Amaterasu 🌸☀️

Sculpting process is under the break!

I made this during winter break using what I learned from making the Toothless sculpture. I used polymer clay this time and didn’t make it solid clay, which really helps the clay not crack.

I did not end up using the armature pictured above because the proportions were off and it was unbalanced.

I finished the details and put it in the oven along with her shield and rosary beads. In hindsight, I should have baked the base clay on and then added the details to that to bake again so I didn’t have to worry about ruining my work. Next time!

I made the beads hoping I could make the rosary work, but I didn’t have the right tools. Sent the beads to my friend to put holes in. I hope to finish that after the semester is over.

Once baked, I started painting. I got a new, thin brush just for this lol. I’m super happy with how I painted this whole thing, but oh my goodness I am so proud of that shield!

I also intended on the fire being translucent as I got translucent polymer clay for it, but not only was it crumbly and very hard to work with, it’s not even translucent!! At least not noticeably. Alas 😔

The shield is fully removable so I can swap out Okami’s weapons. Again, hoping to get the rosary to work, but I would also love to make one of the swords!

And that’s how I made an Okami sculpture! I wanna do a photo shoot with her now that it’s spring and there are flowers growing outside

Edit: I forgot to mention that I actually got sculpting tools for this too (great time for my combination Christmas and birthday gifts) so the details were much easier to make.

For Toothless, I used my tiny screwdriver I use for my clarinet screws and a mechanical pencil to get the details. It… worked I guess? Still not great lmao

So I’m working on something that might get finished, might not, but I’m super excited about it.

So session 7 of secret life was a zombie apocalypse of boogeymen right? Imagine that but an animatic to the song Hollow Moon by The Crane Wives.

Anyways, I’m halfway through the storyboards! (Don’t judge them harshly this is my first time storyboarding an animatic ;-;)

I think it’s looking really cool so far lol. So excited to start animating (I have next to no animating experience. Most of my knowledge is theoretical so this can only go amazingly lmao)

REALLY??? CRAZY LMAO

this feels a little TOO accurate

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Saint Pearl! This design is truly amazing I’m so glad I finally got to draw it digitally lol

Three phases of the moon

full:

...this parallel right here.

Caleb's ghost with the bloody knife hanging over his head, coldly staring at the brother who murdered him.

Luz, back from the dead and infused with the Titan's powers, the ball of light floating above her head, the same thing Belos reduced her to, giving him that same cold stare.

Both of them killed by the same man, one of them coming back to haunt him, the other coming back to put an end to him.

I’m so normal about her

shoutout to titan luz.... gotta b one of my favorite genders

This reads like a Ray Bradbury novel in the best way
