Three phases of the moon

"cozy game" maybe for YOU. I have spreadsheets

Behold the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself…

Toothless!

The process is under the break!

Made this in my dorm room last November with crayola air dry clay and an attitude of, “I’ve never done this before, but how hard could it be?”

I wouldn’t say it was difficult, but it was definitely a learning experience! I learned that crayola air dry clay is really brittle and also, the sculpture shouldn’t be solidly made of clay.

The body and legs kept cracking, and I ended up patching them with acrylic paint that halfway worked lol

And I didn’t know another way I could make the wings, so what I did was hot glue fabric to the wing fingers, soak the fabric with water, and then apply the clay on top so the texture was more uniform.

Then I did the details and the paint.

I want to make another Toothless once school is over. Had to give this one away pretty much as soon as I finished for a Secret Santa.

But yeah! That’s how I made my first sculpture!

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

...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.

Finally made art for a game I love. Okami is to blame for my need of more story intense and beautiful games

Ah beans

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

Because why not, here’s my Pinterest board full of art references and techniques.

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)
