A place to post my weird art and patchy cosplays- He/they Website

[jellykoala]

I got a big box of misprint miniatures and am in the process of fixing them. Haven't posted in a while but these are keeping me busy 💯

I was honestly surprised by the quality of these. For "misprints" the majority of them were intact and better quality than a lot of the other ones I have. I found large buttons work great as bases, and after some touching up with the dremel these are looking awesome 💫 some are messed up for sure so I've been cutting off their limbs/weapons to glue to other minis.

Started this "light study" that turned into a 3 day escapade 🐸 I was going for like an 80s dark fantasy vibe. I think it translated in parts but not fully what I was going for- gonna keep experimenting

My partner calls this the Cosmic Flail Snail 🐌

Still working my way through these factory paint miniatures. It was giving severe ronald mcdonald, I had to add a before pic because who made this creative choice and why

[jellykoala]

I finally have just enough stuff for the store so I'm launching my website! I'm not sure what will come of it, but it feels good to have everything in one place. 💫

Table Top Props

I've been making molds of my table top props and terrain pieces and reproducing them in epoxy. The casts are much more durable than the original props, are lightweight, and retain all the detail of the original.

The store is small for the moment, but my goal is to have some sets of scatter terrain and other more affordable pieces up by early November.

I'm unfortunately only able to ship within the US because that's where I'm stuck 💀 but if you're stuck here too consider checking out the store and supporting an independent trans artist this season instead of amazon or something! 🎉

He gives pumpkin, I named him jack cus of his face

Working my way through these factory paint miniatures that I just don't agree with fr. I forgot to take a before pic of this guy but I have a snail that used to be mcdonalds colored for later

Messing with cheap plastic figures

Used 2 part epoxy dough for the base/extra details. Others are still a work in progress

Holding this mini like a beautiful baby bird even though it's so so nasty

Currently working on a way to make miniature weapons and stuff out of shrinky dink film

It works best with flat things like wings, swords and the like. The plastic substantially thickens as it shrinks so it gives me lots of room to shape each piece with the dremel.

Definitely room for improvement but should give me more options when I'm building customized minis

Turned an old poly pocket into a moldy mushroom woman 🍄

I was going for like a chicken of the woods vibe. Her dress and headpiece are made of polymer clay and I cemented them to the doll with 2 part epoxy dough. I think the most time consuming part was the paint job- she's much larger than my other minis, but she's supposed to be a big weird alien fungus monster so that's OK

I'm fuckin home sick again (joys if retail) so i decided to take a break from the castle and try sculpting something

Used living doll sculpey for the heads and appendages built on wire so I could attach them to the armature. Building up the body with free form air (2 part epoxy dough)

Quick Demogorgon update

Finished the fur and made him some rocks to stand on. Base coated it in black primer and am currently putting on the first layers of paint

[jellykoala]

Finished the Demogorgon a while ago but was struggling to get good pictures 😭 I always feel like my stuff looks better in person than on camera

[jellykoala]

More fungus 🍄🍄🍄

These are the first modules for a new light box top I'm working on. I made them out of translucent sculpy and dusted them with pastels for color so they'll glow eventually

[jellykoala]

Painted a beholder for my partner a while back

[jellykoala]

I made some little guys and a light box to attempt to get better pictures

Day late for pride but they had to be rainbow of course, I spent most of the month recovering from surgery so I didn't get to do much 😅

Nothing too complicated about the mushroom babies they're just polymer clay painted with acrylic

Haven't been posting much but I've been working on stuff- ran out of steam for the castle at the moment so i made a summoning circle instead.

This one was a pretty easy process. Got a round cardboard box and cut the base out, pasted blue plastic over the hole, then painted the design on the bottom with back gesso. Built up the base with more cardboard and craft foam, then coated the whole thing in various texture mediums.

Covered the whole thing in black gesso-podge per usual and dry brushed. I added some mirror tape to the inside to better reflect the light. It fits perfectly on my 8×11 light box 💫
