Have you ever made a coelacanth? Your squids and cuttlefish are super cute. Sea hares and anemones would be fun to see too.

Thank you so much! Yes, I made a Coelacanth not too long ago. Here it is! I think a sea hare will be next soon, and maybe anemones too (⊙‿⊙✿)

Hello, I love all your little sculptures!! I checked out your shop and it made me wonder if you do commissions as well?

Thank you so much! I’m not taking commissions at the moment, but I m always open to suggestions for my future idea list! (☉‿☉✿)

How do you get such clean pictures of small sculptures? I feel like every time I try to photograph my 3d art it looks weird. I love your work!!

Glad you like my work! (◠‿◠✿) It mostly depends on good camera and lighting. Lens for close-up shots really helps and I always use soft white light so the details stay clean and there are no harsh shadows. Hope that helps!

your work looks very ai, would you mind showing us the process of your making your sculptures? :) I mean absolutely no offense if you're not using ai!!!

Nope, I don’t use any AI in my work. My style has developed over 10 years. As for the process, I share some WIPs on my Instagram, mostly in stories, where you can also see how my style evolved from very beginning (☉‿☉✿)

your creatures are absolutely beautiful, i swear each one looks like it's the best one! i can't even imagine the amount of work put into being that good in your art 😍

Thank you so much for noticing, I really appreciate it! (✿◠‿◠) My animal figurines may be small, but they take a lot of time to make, usually around a week for one piece :}

What do you use to color your sculptures? And I'm curious about the ones with very bumpy textures like the recent frog and squid-- what tools and techniques are you using for that?

I use acrylic paints for coloring and then finish everything with glossy varnish. As for the bumps, I make those using polymer clay mixed with liquid gel to create thicker paste and apply it before baking. I use just brushes. Hope it helps! ;)

Another glow-in-the-dark sculpture – Pyjama Squid. Hope it brightens your day! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Messages like this are truly the most meaningful to me,I’m so glad you find my work inspiring! Both blue-footed booby and salmon are among my favorites too (◡‿◡✿)
