(Sound warning, sorry the song came out louder than i intended)
Happy coff late coff birthday @blinkpen !! 8D
i kinda struggled a bit with this one ngl, and im not a hundred percent happy with the overall shaping so i'll most likely do sume retouching later, if not outright do a new one.
Still, hope you like this slightly rushed sculpting of Charlie!
I recently caught back up on Betsy Lee's No Evil and remembered I had a buncha Corns I never posted from 2020! I went through a whole-ass sculpting phase that never made it to tumblr, lol
This is what I've been working on for the past month! Ever since I did some work on a custom nendoroid for my roommate, I've wanted to try doing more nendoroid-related projects. And of course the first character that came to mind was @mishacakes's rottmnt OC, Tomiko! (He does make a great little nendo, after all).
Huge thanks to Misha for giving me permission to do this project! It was so much fun to work on, and I love Tomiko to bits. I hope you like how she turned out! <3
Process pictures under the cut:
Original parts (purchased from chibichopshop.com), plus the original parts after I shaved them down (with the pants on backwards lol). I did end up swapping the hair pieces for the pieces from a customizable head, but I used a cut-off piece of the bangs for Tomiko's hair swoop! Plus the customizable head gave me an extra faceplate--thus the two different expressions :D
Sculpted and primed! I used milliput superfine white for the sculpting, since you can't exactly use oven-bake clays on top of a plastic base. It was surprisingly nice to work with! I've heard epoxy clays can get a bit gummy feeling, but the milliput didn't at all.
And here she is all painted next to my sister's Gobbo plush! Really gives you a sense of the scale. Which is small. She is small.
If you read this far, thank you! I appreciate you <3
Oh hey, the rest of the snats/slats (snailcats/slugcats)! These guys are sgraffito'd with some celadon glazes slapped on top for a jewel-like & slightly slimy effect!
Also, I've started to upload previews to my shop (heywitch dot bigcartel dot com) & am going to be opening it up next week...I'll decide on a date/time tomorrow & announce it as soon as I've made up my dang mind!
