Silent Kimiya | Shaped by hand, made with soul

I love the quiet obsession of sculpting. It absorbs me so fully that I forget to capture it - and only realize it when the most beautiful part is already done. :') The Art Shop: https://silentkimiya.carrd.co/ Commissions Info: https://silentkimiyacustom.carrd.co/ All my Links: https://linktr.ee/silentkimiya

Roar! One more canonical Loque'Nahak sculpture: cream-colored, with brown paws, a broader chest - and the canonical three toes on each paw 🐾

Handsculpted from polymer clay, painted with acrylic colors and coated with a protective matte lacquer.

MetalMamemon the Digimon, one of the very few fully mechanical creatures I've ever sculpted.

Definitely not my usual style... but I absolutely love this little guy! Especially now that he's painted. I'll show you the finished sculpture tomorrow :3

Currently accepting arguments: is this a head or is it already a body? Because arms and legs are coming next, and I'm not sure where the line is 😁

These two monsters - Nargacuga and Tigrex - have such unique designs, and capturing their aggressive poses was a fun challenge! Which one is your favorite?

Nargacuga sculpture ended up measuring 27 × 27 × 19 cm (10.6 × 10.6 × 7.5 inches), while Tigrex came out at 34 × 18 × 8 cm (13.4 × 7.1 × 3.1 inches).

Together, these two weigh more than 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs)! Quite impressive for a pair of creatures made from clay. They may not be life-sized, but they definitely have some presence.

Nargacuga has always been one of my favorite Monster Hunter designs. Sleek, agile and just the right amount of intimidating - it looks like a true predator from every angle.

Recreating all those scales, wing membranes and distinctive features in clay took quite a while, but I loved every step of the process.

Handmade from polymer clay, painted with acrylics, and covered with a protective matte lacquer. One of a kind.

Dimensions: 27 × 27 × 19 cm (10.6 × 10.6 × 7.5 in).

Tigrex is pure brute force. Everything about its design feels powerful - from the massive head and jaws to the heavy limbs and imposing stance. This monster has so much character!

Mighty Tigrex is ready for the painting stage!

Creating a wing isn't just about sculpting the membranes; it also involves adding all the scales 🫠

A tiny trainer manages to tame a giant Nargacuga with no problem. I tried too... and got my finger chomped :'D

Nargacuga VS Tigrex

[silentkimiya]

A long and dangerous tail… still a work in progress!

[silentkimiya]

Ah, if only it was that quick… but no, those scales took a fair amount of time to make!

[silentkimiya]

Chicken feet! 🙃

[silentkimiya]

Rawr! Work in progress ⚙️

Can you guess which monster sculptures I'll be showing you over the next few days? 👀
