a quick wip of a wolf I've been sculpting

[houndstoothx]

feels good to draw wolves again! this is for Maristela on TH.

[houndstoothx]

i have a couple of bases ufs on my ko-fi - these can be used for adopts, your OCs, or whatever you'd like!

[houndstoothx]

art for my friend of their OC, Elijah! had fun with this one.

[houndstoothx]

some art for my bestie :) this is noelle, she's a pro wrestler 💪

[houndstoothx]

i forgot to post this here but the chrome powder i ordered finally came in the mail so i can finish up Malenia’s armor ✨

[houndstoothx]

Finally finished the wig for the Malenia BJD I’ve been working on 🙏✨

[houndstoothx]

i made some cat eyes for the sphynx doll over the weekend — wound up with bubbles in them but they’re symmetrical so they somehow look ok? 🧿🐽🧿✨

[houndstoothx]

I don’t have much to share re: the Malenia doll at the moment because I’m waiting on stuff in the mail, so here’s a couple of shots of some other dolls I finished earlier in the year!

[houndstoothx]

i found this old wig and was hoping it’d fit her but it’s a little too big and the red is a little too muted. so, now i’m waiting on some fiber i ordered in the mail before i can try making her a new wig!

also got her sword put together finally, pieces kept breaking off so i had to super glue and apoxie sculpt parts — this bronze resin is much more brittle than i first thought!

[houndstoothx]

Got the Malenia doll strung together, she’s very sturdy at standing which is a nice change of pace compared to the last doll I made. 😪

She’ll be quite complicated to blush/paint but I’m confident I can do her justice! I’m just worried when it comes to her armor, since I’m not that great at sewing. We’ll see how that turns out! 🥲

[houndstoothx]

I finally got the Malenia BJD fully printed, and it took forever — over 40 hours total of printing time due to the different resin used and the size of her. She’s about 1/3 scale, way bigger than I expected, but there’s no going back now!

I’ll be painting her then making her armor set next. Wish me luck! ✨

[houndstoothx]

I’m finally at the stage where I’m test printing the Malenia bjd! Loving how her head sculpt turned out even at 1/6 scale, waiting to see how the rest of her joints and her prosthetics turn out before moving on to a bigger print.

[houndstoothx]

I finished Malenia's prosthetic arm! progress is admittedly slow now that the DLC is out 😅 I forgot how time consuming cutting joints can be but it's better to go slow n steady to make sure things look good in the end.

[houndstoothx]

finally finished Malenia's prosthetic legs -- this took a lot longer than I thought it would! there are a lot of little details that I had to carefully study from her boss fight cinematics, lol. next is her prosthetic arm, then her helmet and sword... then I can probably get around to printing! ⚔

[houndstoothx]

been working on Malenia's body sculpt, it's been slow going because of work and other things, but I'm chipping away at it!

[houndstoothx]

so i've been working on this sculpt of Malenia from Elden Ring in anticipation of Shadow of the Erdtree. my plan is to try to make a full doll before the DLC drops and i think the head is basically done -- just need to add a headcap and neck joint. also plan to make her a fiber wig which is why i didn't bother sculpting hair ✨
