Claw 2021

Still the smallest joints I ever made. I tend to believe the batch of Fimo I used back then was extra sturdy after curing. Or I was just stupid lucky that this worked.

Kenny's hair & face 2020

I took too many pictures of my boy at this stage but I was so so happy with how different he looked all of a sudden.

Again, the UV domed eyes caught the light so nice, and my second hair root in polymer clay looked much better already (took forever to finish, too).

Sculpting Rin 2020

When I had Jaken, I needed myself a Rin, of course.

Never been good with estimating kids' ages, so when I sculpted her I was clueless as to what I was even going for. She ended up tiny! Judging by her proportions I want to say she is at most six years old. Maybe a very small, malnourished orphan seven - which might help explain away my poor job on her hair that looks like the baby is balding. She was my first rooting in polymer clay and I was impatient to see if it would work-

Either way, I think she's adorable. She also looks a little cheeky because I really wanted to give her that young Björk smirk.

Jaken 2020

Look at that, it's Jaken from Inu Yasha! He was so much fun to make. Figuring out his jaw joint felt like an adventure. Back then I didn't have social media and my knowledge of ball joints was limited so I re-invented the wheel for myself there. When it worked and he could yap I was so proud.

His eyes were the first I domed with UV resin. Because they're so big, the effect is quite dramatic. Before and after of that step never gets old to me.

Black D3 Digivice on my fingertip 2020

This was fiddly to make. Bit wonky but I think it turned out quite nice for the scale. There's a magnet in the back of it, but I never took a picture of that.

Sculpting Kenny 2020

First BJD I ever tried making from scratch and he does look the part. Late 2019 I found this tutorial on how to make polymer clay action figures with a hand drill and suddenly I had a hobby. Kenny is still around to this day but this is his larval state so to speak. inspo Ken Ichijouji/Digimon
