Graveyard of Unfinished Projects, Pt I

@anti-workshop asked me to do a deep dive on my Graveyard of Unfinished Projects, and i’m always thrilled to talk about my art!

i got this little cart (with working wheels!!) at target for $5. i am forever finding the most amazing little doll accessories from their discount bins at the front of the store. i’ve also got some fake greenery tiles for photoshoots, a cute bike (although that came from michael’s, i think), and an adorable little orange wheelbarrow. once the projects on it are finished, it will become a doll-sized tea tray.

first up: witch cubone! he had a bone club but it was really thin and it broke at some point. this is from an stl i found on thingiverse.

baby dragon eggs! I recently made an egg and a baby dragon for a coworker who is having a baby soon. i painted the egg iridescent pale pink and glued a deep pink heart jewel just above the clasp, and painted the dragon iridescent purple (purple is her favorite color). of course i forgot to take pictures before i gave it to her. >_< it was super cute though. stls from thingiverse.

tiny snail dragon with wings! i have a few different versions of these tiny dragons, the stls were made by the same person who made the eggs.

skeletal dragon, snail dragon with and without wings, regular dragon, sea dragon. i have a couple versions of each. here’s how they look on and off the sprue. they’re actually jointed and they’re held together by stringing with tiny hair elastics. i use the clear ones meant for braiding. the wings are strung separately from the rest of the body and let me tell you what a bitch it is to get the damn elastic threaded through the tiny holes. i need some really fine gauge jewelry wire to be able to string them without difficulty.

part of a tea set! these are roughly 1:4, or Mini Super Dollfie (MSD) scale. there’s more pieces in this collection, including a lid for the teapot, that i haven’t gotten around to printing yet. files from thingiverse.

sandshrew!

beacon the prussian blue (NOT navy blue) three-tailed kitsune, my fursona. she leads those who are lost out of the darkness by the light of her lantern. i customized and bought this stl from heroforge. their options for anthropomorphic characters have really expanded, and i’m here for it!

doll shoe bases. wedge heel on the left, platform heel on the right. i bought the files from moonlightjewel, they’re designed in monster high scale but 3D printing files are scalable so i scaled them up a bit for my MSD. haven’t decided what to do with them yet. i have plans for a retrofuture alien girl at some point maybe they’ll come in handy for that.

possum cowboys, aka the sheriff and her deputy! this was one of the first things i ever 3D printed. i believe the files for this came from thingiverse.

the PRIDE and JOY of the Unfinished Projects Graveyard; the only object in this post that i 3D sculpted myself. it was sculpted in nomad sculpt for the ipad, using a tutorial by erika casab of little robot studio. it was SO HARD but i didn’t even cry once. i’m still inordinately proud of it, but it is so freaking difficult to photograph!

tumblr only allows 30 images per post, so look out for pt 2!

making art that is intentionally ugly frees us from the expectations of perfectionism

WIP of my d&d half fae Bard with her goblin son

Is it ugly? Yes. Does it look like garbage? Also yes. Am I going to finish it anyway? yes.

Graveyard of Unfinished Projects, Pt II!

esmee fallowdawn, aka the midnight rider, aka the big iron, aka my eclipse caste solar exalt. i love how dynamic and lifelike this model is. model created on heroforge.

strawbebbies! big ones and tiny ones. i think the original scale on them is like..1:12? the ones on the right are mostly printed at scale, while the ones on the left are scaled up. neither group is the right size for MSDs. >_< i bought this stl file from a seller on etsy who makes dollhouse minis.

scalloped tea cup and saucer in different sizes. when you get stls that aren’t in the scale you want, you can change that, but it often takes some trial and error with sizing. the tiny white one is the original scale the file came in, the off-white were experiments in scale. i think the biggest one is more Super Dollfie, or 1:3 scale. i also bought this file on etsy, i believe from the same person who did the strawberries.

halloween bulbasaur!! the bulb isn’t just a pumpkin, it’s a jack o’lantern! i believe this came from thingiverse.

MSD-sized bunny slippers! i think they look more like ballet flats, but i’ve been thinking about covering them in white flocking to give them that fuzzy slipper look. file from thingiverse.

the TEAth cup. delightful, awful object. this is actually printed full size, and i am printing the matching saucer as i type this. i’d love to get an FDM printer so i could print this in full realistic color, food-safe plastic and use it as a prop for a vampire: the masquerade game heh heh heh the stl also came with just like…loose human teeth you can print. i’d give them out as gag gifts at vampire larps if i could 😹

E G G Y

this is going to be for one of the skeletal dragons!

cubenimal pumpkins. they look kind of horrifying right now because i haven’t cleaned up the painting yet. they should look cuter once they’re actually finished.

that’s it! that’s my graveyard of 3d printed projects that i need to finish. i can take more deep dives into my other unfinished projects, in fact i probably should; it might give me more motivation to finish them. it takes me forever to typically finish painting something, but honestly i think it’s because i’m not batch painting things. tonight i took a bunch of these projects and started painting them at the same time. lay down a bit of color on the beacon statue, then start base painting the strawberries while i’m waiting for paint to dry. i got more done in one night than i have in YEARS because i did that!! so we’ll be trying that technique more often.

if anyone wants links for anything i showed, let me know and i can post them in the comments!
