#next projects

[steamberrystudio]

do you have plans for any future games after gilded shadows?

Hello! I have been working on a side project for over a year - which will be the next project to go public after Gilded Shadows finishes later this year.

I actually have a huge list of projects in Plottr, all of which are in some stage of planning.

However, the project I will be focusing on after Gilded Shadows is called When Stars Collide. It's another science fiction project, but is quite different to GS since it's more of a space opera that takes place largely on a star ship and the MC becomes a member of the crew.

I work on this project exclusively late at night (usually after 10PM, being the night owl that I am) and weekends. So even though I've been working on it for over a year, it's not really that far along. I've done some sprites, some UI work, and have written a fair amount of it. But the writing is definitely less than half complete for sure at this point.

Here are a few screen caps from some coded content that I put in the game to test out sprite stuff.

So yes - I do have plans for future games. Multiple. But When Stars Collide is, at this point, the one I'll be focusing on after I get Gilded Shadows complete.

I am still months out from finishing Gilded Shadows as I still have to finish Reuben's route and, of course, Yuu's route. So until then WSC will remain my "after hours" project that gets worked on a couple of times a week at weird hours!

After WSC, I want to get back into writing some fantasy content though! I have a couple of cool fantasy ideas I'm really looking forward to working on!

T4TM (Theseus4TheMinotaur)

lost wax cast bronze, patina & paste wax

2023

(process photos & info under cut <3)

my minotaur boy!! pls click on the photos for higher res! my thesis is focusing on trans men and creatures (how original ik) and this was last semester's final. i spent a lot of time looking at sculptures of the theseus/minotaur story, and yknow? a LOT of them are erotic! i'm pretty sure i saw some of them on tumblr a decade ago, and that's led to this now!

as you'll notice, the minotaur has a big t-dick! i wanted to give him breasts and an enlarged clitoris to present a very masculine trans figure. the boy on the bottom is also trans because i say so . the piece is about looking up to older, bigger, hairier trans men and seeing something awe-inspiring and beautiful. the minotaur was locked up by a cruel father for being different, and i think modern adaptations tend towards a sympathetic asterion (his name in one version)

making this piece was. so much effort. it took me about 3 months to get it all together - from clay model (plasticine) to 3D print to silicone mold to wax cast, and finally bronze pour into the shell mold. and then a TON of filing, sanding, dremel-ing, and various other metalworking techniques that probably took years off my life.

i started with sketches and made theeeeeee ugliest model ever:

then used a 3D scanner to get it digital, then spent a goooood month or two making him pretty in blender! then i spent an agonizing few weeks trying to get it print-ready, and fiiiiiinally did

^^^ an early resin printed draft of the model - you can see in the final that i added lots to theseus after some feedback, but sadly the nosering broke off every time i cast it so i just. let that be <3

then came the moldmaking, and then the wax dipping!! the yellow stuff is shell mold (ground up ceramic bits and algae soup, sticks to the wax, then silica sand in varying sizes on top) which gets the wax melted out, and bronze poured in!

then it's all metalworking, cutting stuff off, and working with hot metal. they don't tell you about all the bronze dust and how annoying it gets wearing a respirator AND goggles. but it is for me health, me boy. here's him all cleaned up before the patina:

and then i spray him down with various chemicals to make it "patina" (aka rust) in pretty colors. wait a few days, then apply paste wax to seal it and give it that shine!

then we get what you see above!!! the blue was actually unintentional, and i'm still not super sure why it looks that way.. but it's pretty so idc <3

thanks for reading!! if you ever have any bronze/casting questions, don't hesitate to message me! <3

I really liked this post saying how this scene reminded OP of the Evrart Claire chair moment and I really. couldn't resist.

Butch Fairy zine: Mod application 🧚‍♂️

Next year I will be organizing a group art zine focused on butch and queer fairies, with the plan to open artist applications January 2024.

I have worked on many zines and anthologies, but I dont have much experience organizing one. So if you have experience making zines and working behind the scenes to bring zines and group projects to fruition, and you also like butch queer fairies, then this is for you!

I am currently looking to have 2 or 3 mods to help out, mainly with zine formatting, discord moderation, and schedule management.
