Stock drop today!  Clearing out some inventory to make room for new pours... and yes...new models!  Nothing to say on the topic quite yet, but things are brewing behind the scenes. 

Check them out here!

And if you haven’t followed yet, reminder that my Twitter is the best place to get alerts on newly-posted items!

Thanks again for all your support.  Lots more to come in the future!

Showing off that fun glow in the dark pigment with some space-inspired Dracos, up for adoption.

Behind the scenes, things have been a little hectic!  To make a long story short, some sulfur, the Most Despised Enemy of Silicone Curing, got into my workspace, which has made making Maluses temporarily impossible.  Some even got on the original sculpture, which has taken weeks to clean!  I believe I’m now past the issue however, and Malus production should resume without further hitches.

Anyway!  As always, more projects are in the works, though this Malus drama has taken up most my time lately.  First order of business is commissions, as always, then Large Draco, then Pyxis.  (Oh, and my helper/partner made a buttplug design??  We’re still messing with the mold but that might be out really soon!)

Okay, keeping this short as I must return to work~  As always thank you all for your continued support.  Its nice to have a fanbase that still cares even when things get rocky!

Forgive me if this has been asked, but any plans to make other "monster fucker" merch? I adore the sticker but have no use for it; I'd /really/ adore it on a coffee mug or something, tho!

Hmm... I didn’t really have any concrete plans to do so, but I’d go for it if I heard that more people were interested!  :y  (I do have plans to make other ____ Fucker stickers though.  I won’t forget about you alien/demon/slime/ghost/robot/etc.  fuckers out there.)

I’m pleased to announce that the new Blue Ritual website is live!

This new website replaces the Etsy store.  I will still be fulfilling existing commissions on Etsy, but all new orders should be placed through the new website!

The new website brings slightly lower prices on some commissions, as well as easy reference for measurements.  It’s still in a pretty early conception of what it will eventually become, but I do believe all the necessary information is on there.  And what is on there is more commission slots, and some stock pours!  

So please go take a look!  And if you’re on Patreon, head on over and claim your 10% off coupon to celebrate the new store!  🎉

Just showing off some commissions and stock!

Also, I’m moving across the country soon!  This means that from the last week of May through about mid-early June, things will be pretty quiet around here!  My goal is to finish all my commissions before moving and use up all my liquid silicone, meaning there will probably be one small stock-drop or sale in the coming weeks.

I’ll keep you all posted with the status of other projects, as always. Luckily moving doesn’t really affect getting Larger Draco printed and molded, though it will delay modeling Pyxis just a bit.  Still looking at an early summer release though!

As always, thank you all for the support. ♥

Today in stock:  Soft gradient Maluses!

[blue-ritual]

I posted a tutorial for how I achieved much of the skin texture on Malus on my Patreon!

This tutorial will be available to the general public in a week.  All patrons from the $1 level and up have access to it right now.

Thank you! ♥

[blue-ritual]

Another batch of Maluses, hot out of the oven! Using up the last of my glow-in-the-dark pigment before I buy some more (and add that as an official commission option).  That orange-blue-white one is firm!

I ordered some new pigment recently-- another round of matte colors and UV-reactive fluorescent colors!  This will give me more options for colors and effects, so I’m really looking forward to them arriving.  Matte colors really create a different look and (visual) feel in pours.  Matte pastels are so nice too....

And it might be a good impetus to mess around with realistic human skin colors.  Some nice pink or pale purple fades at the tip could look interesting?  And a range of human skin tones theoretically shouldn’t be too hard to mix up... :|a

Anyway, today I’ll be working on commissions and pouring a firm Fornax stock (and maybe others?).  I think I’ll also write a post about achieving skin texture in Sculpey for the Patreon!

Thanks to everyone for the support and business!

I made a Discord server for silicone discussion!  Here’s the link: discord.gg/wpPttUg

Invite your friends!  There’s channels for non-silicone discusison, too.

As the image says, you must be 18+ to join the Discord-- anyone that’s found to be underage will be banned immediately!

So come talk about ice cream and dongs with us!!

[blue-ritual]

Completely in love with Fornax, is it possible to ask for a guided surprise custom?

Yep, definitely!  Custom requests can kind of be anything, from super specific color choices to really vague “inspired by this” types.

[blue-ritual]

I love the looks of Malus and Fornax! And they're too thick for me at 2"+ diameter =-(. Will we see a smaller girth release at some point?

Smaller Fornax and Malus will definitely come at some point in the future, but I can’t guarantee a release schedule quite yet.  Malus’s smaller version will be unique too, since it’s a hand sculpt!

[blue-ritual]

More Maluses!  (Malii?)  The topmost pour is in Firm silicone, and I’m pleased to report the texture does not become scratchy or abrasive!  Malus is shaping up to be a really fun model to pour, so there will be lots more in the future.

More customs are up, too!  I accidentally only put one up last night instead of my usual 5 batch.

Go check it out in the store!

In the meantime I’ll be shipping orders and attacking commissions.  By the way, thank you all for the kind words about these two new models-- they were a real pain in the ass at times and both had their own weird issues,  so seeing them come to fruition is really exciting!  I’m happy to be growing the Blue Ritual cast again, and I’m super hype to do more in the future. >:3c

Sorry if this has already been asked! But what is the space between Fornax's knot and base? He looks beautiful by the way, I love the RGB colouration!!

It’s just under an inch.  And thank you, I think the RGB color will be Fornax’s ~signature color~!

[blue-ritual]

★ Fornax is here! ★

After setbacks aplenty, Fornax is finally ready for release!  Big props to the secret individual who did the printing for me, it came out awesome!  While I’ll try to grab some better photos in the near future, I hope these tide you all over for now!  It’s a bit of a flopper and doesn’t like to stand up on its own. :p

Those two pours are available in the shop, both Medium-firmness, one discounted due to some minor issues.  Commissions are up, as well!  I’ll be posting more pics in the coming days of new stock and commissions as they roll out. 

Malus had some minor mold problems, so it’s delayed for a few days-- but not much longer.

Thank you all for the support during the model dry-spell,  I hope I can pay you all back with some exciting new designs and concepts!

Anyway, here’s the dimensions on Fornax:

Total length: 7 in // 17.78 cm Usable length: 5.5 in // 13.97 cm Smallest Diameter: 1 in // 2.54 cm Widest Diameter: 2.2 in // 5.58 cm Weight: >1 lbs // >.45 kg

What's your plans for future designs in terms of size with 3D prints? Are you ever going to go to large or XL sizes? Or stick more with mini and average?

XL sizes are definitely in the works.  Generally my process goes Medium size --> Large size --> Small size --> XL size.  Since XL items are expensive to make and a little more niche, they’re kind of lower priority right now, but they’ll be coming eventually!  

[blue-ritual]

Do you still intend on eventually creating the design that wasn't the winning model in your Patreon poll, i.e. the petal-y frilly tentacle #1? When I saw its concept art I pretty much immediately fell in 'that's the best thing!!!! I love that :D' with it haha, but I don't know how much reception it actually got.

Yep, it’s totally still in the works!  I want to take a little break from hand-sculpting for my tendons’ sake, but it’ll be coming up probably sometime this summer once I finish moving to the west coast. :y  It doesn’t have a name yet, but there’ll be a chance to submit ideas for the name on Patreon!

Any of your followers have a comparison between your Draco and TailsnPortholes Nereid?
