@neotropolisevent is a week away so check out the communication device I made for my Sepioid alien named Sqip! Forming human words with soft face flappies is tough so this device will help her communicate with (most of) the inhabitants on Kepler-609c! I made this device using a sound board kit from @adafruit and hand holding from my bf @tripdwyr ❤️! Plus heat bent laser cut acrylic pieces and lots of little greeblies. The alien arm sleeves are an airbrushed uv blocking bolero top. The bodysuit is from @demobaza ( thank you for the early shipping!) You can see the head I made for Sqip by visiting my past posts #missmonster #missmonstermel #alien #neotropolis #prop #adafruit #demobaza

Hey y’all I just listed my personal pair of flexible boot covers that I wore to @neotropolisevent last year! I made these with acrylic/clay that was cast into a flexible urethane, they fit over a size 11 women’s or men’s 9.5 flat soled boot. These will need some repair! More info is in the listing found in my sh op which is linked in my profile! #missmonster #missmonstermel #bootcover #cosplay #scifi #prop #cyberpunk #neotropolis #costume

( PREORDER PRICING, shop link in my profile) “Some say the sharp clawed paw of a fearsome monster is good luck, hard won in battle against the beast. The paw may rot slowly but will give glory and riches while it is intact. Others will say it is better to earn the paw, freely given upon a good death after a lifetime of friendship with said monster. The paw will then forever quietly flame with the love shared, never to crumble into dust.” ***THIS IS A PREORDER AND WILL NOT ARRIVE TO ME UNTIL MID TO LATE MAY*** These will not ship until I get them in my grubby talons so please be patient. These are 2.5” hard enamel charms. The black lines in the example will be dark nickel with a glow in the dark eyeball. The back will have a stamped logo. It will come with a clasp and a little attached bell! I hope these little fierce paws bring you all lots of luck! The picture with the yellow charm in my hand is just an approximation to show the size and does NOT reflect the final product. Pricing will go up to $25 once the charms are in hand, this is a preorder ONLY price! #missmonster #missmonstermel #monsterpaw #monster #paw #charm #enamelpin #enamelcharms

AVAILABLE! Use the link in my profile! “Sepioids are peaceful, curious aliens who evolved in low gravity that somehow supports a very humid lower atmosphere. Their scent/respiratory sensory organs are located on the back of their round heads, the appendages constantly refresh moisture much like a human eye blink. Their mouth appendages are used to produce bubbling singing speech, and for gesturing and emotional signalling, in constant intricate motion. However, when visiting higher grav worlds, these tend to be held tightly together while a vocal translator is used for communication. One speculates that gravity exerts too much pull for them to speak with the same graceful articulation, much like a human trying to speak after a shot of paralyzing novocaine. Sepioids are able to keep their jelly- like bodies upright and ambulatory for short periods of time while visiting higher gravity environs but must retire to a tide pool float pod for several hours for sleep and recovery. Many of them can be seen with curious semi transparent carapace sitting over their forehead. This is in fact another living creature! These symbiotic amphibious animals spend most of their life in a flat jellyfish like stage until they are ready to reach the next life cycle by attaching to a Sepioid, permanently shaping themselves to the round forehead. It is unknown what the mutual benefit is for both creatures but it is speculated it provides some sort of armor or sensory enhancement for the Sepioid while the jelly-creature gets free meals and protection for the rest of their life.” This piece has been painted with a gajillion layers of color and iridescent paint! It took me a very long time to get the paint just right and the color scheme is based on a halitrephes jellyfish. Song is Warp Whistle by Fartbarf. Original sculpted in @monsterclayusa and cast in materials from @smoothon #missmonster #missmonstermel #sepioid #alien #halitrephes #cuttlefish #scifi #prop #mask

The Apocalypse Apostle sculpt is likely to fit almost all head sizes since it is a top headdress style. It could work as a natural druid-y/faerie look, a stone/lava sorta thing, creepy fleshy abomination, rusty wasteland or do a dramatic gold leaf treatment or whatever you can dream up! I also like this design because you can interact and eat/drink while wearing it, perfect for ren fairs, cons and festivals Sculpted in monsterclay and cast in urethane! Rings are from @aerarius_metalworks and @ugoserrano , wrist armor from @nicholaskstudio #missmonster #missmonstermel #apocalypseapostle #mask #prop #sculpture #propmaker #artist #cosplay
