Trying to focus on 'finished not perfect' but it's slow going as I keep making adjustments and changes. I just want to be able to get back into creating without this inability to push through the need to be 'perfect'.

Throw back to 2019 and my Panther Chameleon work. Someday I'll create a new version, I miss painting in such vibrant colors.

Tumblr is making it really annoying to post here x.x

Retic X Ball Python Mash up from awhile ago.

Frog Pop #2 looks like a cool sunset! Did a splashback pattern for this one and I think it gives it almost a silhouetted tree line type look.

First of the frogs from the color palette vote on IG. Think I might make 'Frog Pops' permanent, what do you think?

[valvaren]

I did a vote on IG for a random color palette to use and this is what has come from it.

Really excited to see these two glossed!

Corn Snake Version 2 is printing and I'm excited to do a test paint! I felt the first attempt was a little stiff and unnatural so I tried to make this one more fluid.

I wanted to draw this puma for sooooo long! I took the picture in 2015 at Beauval Zoo.

Blue check mark? Overrated!

Blue frogs? Perfection!

Hello

I am here. I still have no idea how this platform works but I will try my best to post to it often.  (How does this work again?)

[valvaren]

Another House of the Dragon style design, but this time I’m putting more effort into it! I wish she were real.

Taking a few clients for customs on my Hognose, Ball Python and Dart Frog bases. DM with reference pictures for quotes!

Legit all you needed to know that this place was a crappy ‘circus zoo’ was that J*y Bre*er is involved.

Did she just tell an alligator what to do? 😳

THEY’RE ALL GOOD GECKS, BRONT

Some more (old) pet portrait commissions. 

[valvaren]

LOOKING FOR REPTILE OWNERS To provide photo references for models, will be credited for helping with the base model as well as paid, either in money or with a discount/free commission on the base you help with.

After the pain that was trying to sculpt the Corn Snake without proper refs I'm going to treat this more like a business deal. With the help of my S/O I got some example pictures of Brood, my ball python, to use as a guide for any snake references. I will also need geckos and lizards but unfortunately don’t have my own to take example photos.

https://imgur.com/a/pl7X51l I am only looking for people who can provide clear, crisp and close up photos with good lighting and ideally with out much noise in the background. I wont be using your photos outside of referencing, I also wont be copying exactly, they will be guides, but I WILL credit you for your help with the base model. For anyone interested I would ask you to contact me with an example of the quality of photo you would provide and if it meets my needs we can discuss further terms of the deal i.e. payment/free commission etc. If you have any questions please ask! Also here is a photo of my 3D modeled Corn Snake that I just finished, and this was without proper references (was a complete nightmare >.<) Any reblogs are super appreciated <3

Finally, the first model in my 'High Realism' series is finished! Learned a lot, especially since it was only my second ever Zbrush sculpt x.x. Test print will be on Tuesday, if it passes I’ll paint up a few for examples. Next models are Blood Python and Carpet Python. Pictured in both Jelly Bean Material and the Standard MatGrey. Model is posable. Polypaint on eyes, nostrils, mouth only.
