Craft Update #1: The Cardboard Dragon
Craft update #1: the cardboard dragon
started: Aug 2023 status: abandoned
last year I had this wonderful idea to make a big articulated dragon thing (a childhood dream come true) ideally it would be made out of thin wood sheets (balsa wood?) and have bolts for joints - I guess the plan was to make a cardboard and toothpicks sketch and then a pattern to have it all laser cut (if you can even order smth like that), but I stopped at the (unfinished) sketch
it took days to cut out the segments (with the hind legs being remade entirely at some point) and I wasn't satisfied how the limbs connect to the torso (because I didn't plan it) - it would probably have to be remade/fixed a lot more, but I simply got (very) tired of it
now, the wings were supposed to be the really cool part, with hinges to allow them to move up and down, inner bones made of wire and some fabric for the membrane.. this never went anywhere and stayed as an idea in my head (one shitty cardboard wing sketch was made)
as of now, the dragon has been taped together to prevent everything falling apart, and is hanging from the ceiling to watch over when I sleep (first pic)

I went outside to take better pics of the hyena friend!
it's an air dry clay figurine based on Cackling Villager - a VRChat avatar by that-darn-hyena, painted with acrylics and watercolors
games imitate life
and I hate life
hey, I may be a few days behind (on Arctober), but I've finally finished my chomper grenade for the Jinx prompt (well, at least as much as I'm willing to, because there are a few details missing and the bottom part is not painted)
it's entirely out of paper, work in progress pics below edit: here's a post explaining how I made it
love the firts paintjob (I forgot I could mix colours instead of only using black and white 👍🏻)
anyways, it's not as small as it seems to be in the pic where I hold it - it's about 12 cm tall
it's rather cute and was fun to make (not so much to paint), would recommend
ARCANE | 1/6 Dolls, customization
Took me a while to finish this because the coat was a nightmare, and it's not my best work but ahhh, it's finally (mostly finished). One day I might 3d print the hammer and color it to finish the look.
Seriously it sucks that there very little merch for Arcane that isn't about Jinx. There are so many cool characters.
