having a normal one

he is finished!

I've been slowly modifying my joytoy Ahriman to replace all the weird rubbery feeling original cloth bits with actual cloth, and now he's fully dressed \o/! This has been a big project, mostly because I kept changing my mind and second guessing myself...

The tassels at the front attach with magnets, and so does the cloak. I resculpted the collar/gorget area to fit the magnets and look OK when I take them off; the tassels themselves are stitched with little nail decorations I found in my Pile of crafting junk. The cloak and tabard are made from some of the many scraps of silk fabric I've accumulated. The... heavier thing that hangs over the tabard... I have no idea what to call it, but it's made of polymer clay and then each segment is strung on very thin wire. All the accessories can be removed and switched out for whenever I inevitably make another set with the knowledge I've gained from the first time round.

I bought him a bottle of his favourite wine to celebrate. Cheers!!

took him outside to touch grass (and mint)

abby is the funniest choice out of my "most favs ever" to put in rainbow pastel clothing

[the-liars-art]

The t-shirt is a little tight for him but he’s mostly sulky because he wanted more leather

drawn after a conversation where my buying another ahriman mini* was compared to bringing home a new pet

*found the 40k old sculpt for cheap, couldn't resist the urge

[woopyfrood]

Turned one of my zoning-out drawings into @dashofstarlight 's modern-supernatural au Ahriman... the novelty socks were the detail that got me.

[dashofstarlight]

Oh my god. I saw this appear on my feed and had to take a good 5-10 minutes to compose myself.

This is beyond perfect. Honestly, I'm struggling to find the words to describe how amazing this is. You drew him perfectly. From the outfit (inc. novelty socks) to his glasses, to the grey in his hair, to the way he's curled up on the beanbag.

I'm going to be internally screaming about this for at least a week.

Thank you for drawing this! I love it so much. Would you mind if I linked to it in the next chapter of 9PR so all the readers can see?

[woopyfrood]

Go ahead and link, that'd be cool!

Fun fact, I realised partway through that I can replicate the entire outfit with items from my wardrobe (although in different colours/size), and I'm going on at least one textual mention for every aspect except the button braces, I think. No wonder I was having fun, my vintage menswear interest was fully activated...

[woopyfrood]

it turns out that painting a character miniature is like a supercharged version of rotating blorbo in your head, because you're also rotating them in your hands. guess who i am painting

first set is a few of the things i said about my progress on the mini, and taking my nickname of beetle head too seriously

last 2, the portraits, i'm just trying to get down my personal mental image of his face, younger and older version. posting this now in part so i don't spend another month tweaking the shading on his eye bags

[dashofstarlight]

Which Ahriman are you today?

[woopyfrood]

like... nya
