gelatinous cube + gnoll

June 14th, 2010 § 0

A commission for my friend Karine! These are characters from a webcomic that she is currently involved with(I’ll avoid posting names since I believe it’s a surprise for the creator).

The baby gnoll and gelatinous cube were eventually mounted on a wood base. The beholder mini is just a little extra I threw in.

unipork or bacorn?

I love this guy, but I sold him right away to a friend.

There are more unicorn horned specimens up on Etsy, though!

The slug is nameless. The flowerpot is Marcy.

I just put him up on my Maker’s Market store!

DIY hand puppets coming soon!

Here’s a preview of a DIY hand puppet series I’m going to be working on!

It’s going to be a whole bunch of monsters! It’ll be a while since I need to make sure my pattern is solid, but I’m pretty excited about this project. :)

sugar bowl

Woke up this morning to see that a really fantastic sculptor that I follow on Deviantart had made this “sugar bowl creep” monster that he said was inspired by my monsters!

I was totally flattered, of course, and so I made one inspired by THAT monster.

Check out Hellgnome here – he is uber rad, and trying to bring UBER back.

speaking of my mother…

…check out this awesome bench she made.

It’s called the “cow bench”.

She doesn’t know it yet, but it’ll be pretty perfect as an entryway bench in my house if I ever decide to move my card catalogue. Heh.

embroidery hoop monsters

May 28th, 2010 § 0

I was going to send this first one to my dad for Father’s Day, but my mom said it was ugly, so I think I’ll make something cuter instead. She’s very supportive of everything I do – just honest with opinions. Ha. IMG_9674

Here’s another one on an embroidery hoop, except I guess it’s just a detached eye.

I’ll be bringing them both to the Long Beach Experiment next Wednesday night in Long Beach!

I’m not sure how I feel about using embroidery hoops right now. There’s a weird *softness* to them and having monster bits on them just feels a bit weird. I have a whole ton of them, though, so I’ve got some time to get used to it.

cyclopey specimens love you

Another clump of cyclopey specimens(and one purple dinosaur thing). They’re all going to be at the Long Beach Experiment next Wednesday, and then they’ll be up on Etsy or Maker’s Market if they don’t sell!

I’ve gotten over my love affair with Studio by Sculpey. The clay just keeps on being too inconsistent. I’m back to a Sculpey/Premo mix most of the time now, but I don’t like their base colours as much. Sigh.

detached eye-brain plaque

Made this creepy little guy yesterday. I’ve really been into things with either one or many eyeballs lately. Just got a new shipment of glass eyes too, so I’m in eyeball heaven.

He’s for sale at my Maker’s Market store.

Marlowe updated today too! It’s my last photo from the very first batch, so the rest will all have cute, if not-to-scale, little sets!

monster medley

I made myself a desktop wallpaper, because I was feeling a certain lack of monster on my desktop.

Maybe you want it too! It’s only 1024×768 for now, but let me know if you need a different resolution.
