Vantastridโ€™s 3D sculpted mask, The Observer, freshly rinsed off after a first pass of sanding. The mask has 8 eerie eyes to peer through.

Did the first sanding pass on my Observer mask resin print, then rinsed it off so I could see under the dust. So excited ๐Ÿ˜

Art of a dark figure wearing a cloak to conceal their snake-like appearance under their garb. They have three upside down stars on their cloak resembling a certain party, a missing heart, a disingenuous cross at their neck, their outstretched left hand, and their right hand making a gesture that could resemble many things. A red light shines down from above, and a halo appears behind them as they try to appear holy.

First non test print did not go well, but then made some adjustments (probably overboard lol), and the second one came out great! Now I have to clean this up and get it ready to mold.

Vantastridโ€™s artwork of a demonic looking creature turning its head towards the viewer and locking eyes. The background is a shade of red, the creature is darker, with horns sticking out of its eyes and forehead, spikes riddling the rest of its head and spine. His mouth is open, unable to close his lips, and baring his teeth.

I upgraded my iPad so performance is better for sculpting, but I decided to try a glass matte screen protector instead of my old one and that was a mistake ๐Ÿซ 

I donโ€™t draw super fast and because there is a gap between the pen and screen, it does dumb wiggly lines sometimes.

She gazes at her hand, an all-seeing eye refracting the vision of blood. Unable to remember where it came from, or whose blood it belongs to, all she can do is stare as she recalls the echoes of someoneโ€™s voice screaming โ€œmonsterโ€.
