Updated my Triceratops model this weekend and I’m so thrilled with how much more natural the face looks now 🦕✨ Still a long way to go before this little fat paleo-art collection is complete, but seeing the progress makes me really excited to keep pushing forward.

i have 6 half finished dinosaurs now.

Another update on the Pachycephalosaurus sculpture 🦖

I’ve been working on creating my own custom scale brushes, and I’m finally at the stage where I can start testing them on these two.

Still a bit to go, but they’re getting there!

update on the Pachycephalosaurus sculpture.

[artwithteggy]

I’ve finally settled on a pose for my two Pachycephalosaurus for my chibi dinosaur collection 🦖💥

I'm still figuring out if I’ve pushed it far enough though… does it feel dynamic enough? Or should I exaggerate it more?

Would love to hear what you think 👀💛

I made so much progress on my little fat dinos this weekend and I had to share 🦖✨

Ankylosaurus is finally finished (well… almost, I still need to do the base and the birds), and I’m honestly so happy with how he turned out.

I also sculpted the Triceratops and I’m really excited about the direction he’s going in, I spent some extra time working on his face and it’s starting to come together in the cutest way.

Let me know what you think 💛

Finally! 😁👍🏼 The print worked.

It took me a second to calibrate the printer, and then I had to re-educate myself on how to slice the files again, that was fun. But he’s finally here and I love him.

He’s all cleaned up, sanded, and primed, and now I’m at a bit of a crossroads with the colour scheme.

My husband suggested a Chinese-inspired palette: red, black, and gold.

I was thinking something more jade-like, with blue, green, and gold.

Vote in the comments, or suggest a different colour scheme if you have a cool idea. I’ll be painting him tomorrow 🎨

Unfortunately prints fail but look at the detail 👁️👄👁️ I had to share.

In 2024, at the end of my university degree, I created my final major piece: The Crow’s Conformity.

This work was a real-world and digital exhibition sculpture, bringing together everything I had learned about 3D art up to that point. It became a culmination of my prior knowledge while also pushing me to experiment with new techniques and challenge myself creatively.

More than anything, I wanted the piece to carry emotional weight. It’s probably the most deeply considered work I had ever undertaken at that time.

During that period, I was feeling the effects of social media overload and the constant overstimulation that comes from spending too much time on a phone. That experience became the core message of the artwork.

The crow is tangled and constrained by glowing “social strings,” representing how easily our attention and thoughts can become ensnared by the digital world. It reflects the feeling of our minds being pulled, guided, and shaped by the systems around us.

At a broader level, the work touches on themes of consumerism and conformity. The cycle of obey, consume, reproduce. Inspired in part by the film They Live (1988).

This piece was my attempt to translate that feeling into a physical and digital form: a moment of tension between awareness and control.

This week I got to work on a cassowary 3D scan that needed some serious love.

The scan captured the overall shape of the bird, but the geometry was pretty rough, lots of noise, stretched areas, and messy or missing details. What started as a simple clean-up quickly turned into rebuilding parts of the anatomy, refining the silhouette, and re-sculpting the feather flow to bring the model back to life.

I always enjoy projects like this. It’s really cool knowing this model will be printed life-size, then molded and cast in fiberglass to be mass produced.

Honestly… wouldn’t this guy be cool to have in your backyard?

This is what the model looked like before I started work on it. 🐦

I'm currently making a wall mounted decor moth piece, this is the first prototype, i have a lot of clean up to do but i absolutely adore this little guy and i have so many ideas for a whole sires. follow for more updates.

In between my bigger projects, I’ve been working on these little guys, a collection of chubby, semi-realistic dinosaurs.

I’m not really sure why, but I’ve always wanted something like this. Cute, chunky, but still grounded in real anatomy. So it’s been really fun finally bringing them to life.

There’s something so satisfying about sculpting the weight and softness into creatures that are usually shown as lean and scary.

My husband has requested a Pachycephalosaurus next… or maybe an Allosaurus 👀

If you have a better dinosaur suggestion, let me know. I’m always open to adding more chunky chaos to the collection.

My Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos are officially finished 🖤

I had the opportunity to work as the 3D artist on the Big Carnaby’s Cockatoo, a large-scale public sculpture commissioned by Natureworks for the Moore Catchment Council in regional Western Australia.

This project meant a lot to me. Carnaby’s Cockatoos are endangered, and being trusted to digitally sculpt one at monumental scale was both exciting and a little intimidating. My job was to capture their personality and biological detail while also making sure the model was structurally clean and ready for large-format fabrication (CNC, moulding, all the technical behind-the-scenes magic).

Seeing the QLD team at Natureworks fabricate and paint them so beautifully has been surreal. They’re now waiting to head home to Moora, WA.

This is the biggest design project I’ve been part of so far, and I’m incredibly proud of it. One day I hope to stand in front of them in WA and see them in their new home, part of Australia’s iconic “Big Things” landscape.

Presumed extinct for around 100 years, this nocturnal and mostly ground-dwelling bird has been rediscovered and we have a second chance to s

I recently had a client reach out to me to create a 3D model of a Night Parrot, a bird that was once reported extinct but was rediscovered in Western Australia. I thought that alone was such a cool project to be part of.

What made it even more interesting was that the client had initially tried to generate a 3D model using AI and asked if I could work from the AI-generated mesh.

Let’s just say… the AI version was a bit of an abomination 😂👍

It definitely reminded me that our jobs are safe for a little while longer🍵

I’m happy to report it ended up being an easy, smooth job, and the client was extremely happy with the final model.

Thought I’d share this little experience here.

I’ve started a new dinosaur series, more updates coming soon 🦖✨ I’ve been stuck in a bit of an artist-block funk lately, so instead of overthinking the saturated 3D printing market, I decided to just make what I feel like making. That led me to start a new chibi-style dinosaur series, and honestly… it feels really nice to just create again without the pressure.

These are still in the blocking-out stage. Once I’ve got a few more blocked in, I’ll go back and add all the details, don’t worry ^_^

Let me know what you think 💭💕

I’m in the very early stages of a new project and yes, it’s another dragon. you guys know me by now. lol This one mostly started as a practice study for myself. I want to explore a more stylized look while keeping realistic textures. Hopefully it works out and I can add another cool sculpture to the collection 🐉

The link to your 3D Print store leats to a 404 page error, is it just me?

Oh, wow no that was a bug🪳 Thank you so much for letting me know, I was able to fix it ^_^/'' 👁️👄👁️👇
