me and the mutuals talking about motifs and symbolism

a few years ago i had a phase where i made a bunch of animal-themed mecha girls, and this robot rabbit is my favorite. the jacket i gave her later, and it really adds a finishing touch to the aesthetic.

contains: mh rochelle head, inner monster body, and parts of a gundam, a transformer, and some bots Definitely Legally Distinct from transformers.

amidst all the technical problems, we managed to print just the littlest guy. the neck structure needs a couple of small fixes, but otherwise i'm happy with how the birb turned out. i'd love to print a flock of these and paint them in wildly different styles.

Muistakaahan varoa heikkoa jäätä! Beware of thin ice, everyone!

my little brother & i are having a scholarly debate about mornings

he’s like if an enlightened sage was a 22 year old metalhead who likes to rollerblade in the house

"Immature people crave and demand moral certainty: This is bad, this is good. Kids and adolescents struggle to find a sure moral foothold in this bewildering world; they long to feel they’re on the winning side, or at least a member of the team. To them, heroic fantasy may offer a vision of moral clarity. Unfortunately, the pretended Battle Between (unquestioned) Good and (unexamined) Evil obscures instead of clarifying, serving as a mere excuse for violence — as brainless, useless, and base as aggressive war in the real world."

Ursula K Le Guin at it again, being right as always

House of Finwë family tree, based on the later version from HoME. I chose to stop at Elrond & Elros' generation, but later added Arwen as a side note, which is why her brothers are not included.

Why are you lgbtq+? wrong answers only GO

I felt like you guys will appreciate this

You were right.

Morphological differences between thorns, spines, and prickles

Couldn't stop thinking about that tweet, I love the idea of a god promoting his faith.

COMMISSIONS

i've been working on prototypes & getting my first art show assembled for the last few months. now, the prototypes are just about done, and the exhibition is Happening so i don't have to think about it --> commissions can officially open! a few options are available:

1) off-the-shelf 55€ + shipping: if you want any doll or familiar i've posted (that is not a custom sculpt for somebody else), this option is for you. we can discuss size, color and paint options, or you can have a blank base for a discounted price. dolls are made to order.

2) custom 200€ + shipping: a fully custom sculpt made to your specifications, printed and painted (unless you want a blank base). can include hair and eyes, does not include clothing. a custom sculpt will not be sold to anyone else without permission. if you need more than one of the same doll, extra copies are 55€ a piece.

[secret third thing: semi-custom, price varies. something like "the necromancer, but without horns" or "the cryptic frogge, but with a flatter chest" would be a semi-custom. i reserve the right to also sell these to other people.]

i do not currently sell stl files.

additional fees may apply based on things like size (anything over 35cm or so) or a complex paint job. you will be notified of this before i start working.

all dolls are 3d-printed in PLA. this means the following things:

payments via paypal invoice before printing begins. bank transfer and mobilepay are also ok for finnish customers. i ship worldwide, cost depends on location and package size (if needed, i can ship a doll unassebled to cut costs). let me know where you live and i'll give you a shipping quote. i'm based in the eu, and additional customs fees may apply outside the eu.

shoot me a message to get started! we can conduct business using dms, or move to discord or email if that works better for you.

a small stone troll. this prototype is printed with a fairly rough setting, but i think the printing texture being so visible adds some character in this case. regardless, sale versions of The Boi will be smoother.

this is a collaboration with my partner; they did a sketch for the kind of body type they wanted, and i embellished it into a rock creature. the background skull is an older piece i made, to memorialize a retired tabletop rp character or theirs.
