I have been working on so many things lately. Getting closer to release on my #Castlevania NES Simon Belmont figure. Making good progress on a Godzilla inspired cutie kaiju figure, precision designed figure joints, stickers, packaging. Hard to find time to post about it all 😓

Check out this cool Game Boy style dungeon crawler. Vintage GB visuals, simple controls, an “which way” play style. Made by @ikki972.itch.io, hosted on Itch.io (play indie games in your browser!). #games

The OG! 💪🏽

I am never working on only one thing. Wasn’t happy w Glyos pegs, so I started designing my own, more for the scale of figures I’m doing. Took a few iterations to get the sizing right but this one seems good.
There’s a nice “pop” when snapping them together!

Love this! I’m such a sucker for Mucha inspired filigree borders & influences.

Every day I get little more done on this Castlevania figure (these will be molded soon). While it’s based on a vintage He-Man figure, all the new parts are sculpted by myself. Excited to get this one done!

Updates on today’s work. Resin printed part fits just right (shoulder armor pauldron), making a 2x mold for another part of his outfit (tunic loincloth)

Ok! Then I have learned about a new beautiful street beast! 🤘🏽

had me w the Lambo 🔥

New test prints for the 2-part tunic loincloth and new dagger. This Belmont figure started as a piece for the #1UP IG art show but I didn’t make the deadline, so I’m putting more work into the final piece.

Ok, looks like it’s really more for collectors and preservation. I assumed it was some kind of DIY printing guide.
Still cool for those in the need.

This is cool. I see the sub/title but what’s the meat of it about, like for you personally? I am very DIY so always interested in related topics to my art stuff.

Feel like I’m learning social media all over again as I post more on Bluesky, just like how to find posts you’re interested in seeing, find artists & creators, understand how they find you, etc. just another day of #alwayslearning

I’m feeling good about it!

Hello sky friends! I keep chipping away on this piece, having redesigned this chain whip for easier molding. It’s now 3 pieces, handle, chain, spiked ball. A fellow artist (flashpointcustoms) recommended this terrific resin from Resione. First use and it’s great for print prototyping! #resin

So I installed Flashes (Bluesky’s IG alternative), then turned off “adult” content filtering cuz I’m not a child.
Then I searched “toys” to find other figure collectors and makers.
WELL, I learned there is a LOT of xxx material on Flashes. Searching “action figures” was the better attempt. 😅

Hear about your IG getting iced, that’s some absolute bullshittery. But at least you’re already set up here!

I have never seen this interpretation of #Robocop, one of my all time favorite films, by @maggiemaefish.bsky.social.
It’s an excellent analysis, and adds so many more layers to an already excellent film. Def check it out if you can, only 20 mins long and absolutely worth it if you love this movie!

Making good progress on my homage pieces for the vintage Nintendo (NES) Castlevania series. Pictured is casts for the original game’s tribute figure, another will match Simon’s look from the 2nd game, Simon’s Quest.
Some new parts shown here too!

This is embroidered?! 🤯 Amazing

Elon Musk Wants What He Can’t Have: Wikipedia Musk and other right-wing tech figures have been on a campaign to delegitimize the digital encyclopedia. What happens if they succeed?

Welcome to another day of hating Leon Skum. So apparently he -hates- Wikipedia and has been trying to buy it so he can, of course, turn it into another well of right wing fake information.
Wikipedia be like, “lol no, get lost loser” and he’s -furious- 😂

Does Bsky hate video? I’ve seen some comments suggesting it. 🤷🏽
Here’s a pic of my wax sculpt of Castlevania’s Simon Belmont 3D scanned earlier today. Now I can tweak it in Blender then 3D print it, or just have a nice backup copy of my sculpt in case it gets damaged.

Yea I won’t delete my accounts just to hold them for the same reason, to prevent impersonation (not that I’m famous enough to really be impersonated but better safe than have to fight for its removal).

A curated list of toy creatures! Check it out, file some folks, see some cool art toys!

#art #toys #nerds #collecting

Helloooo. I am also a maker of the independent toy items. Plz to 👀 at my stuff for consideration of your list!
Been -a while- since I actually released anything, but have a Castlevania Simon Belmont homage figure set coming soon(ish)!

He can only act like a king of people willingly give him that power. Legislative (Congress) controls the money, not the Executive. #fightthepower

100%. Were in this weird space where we -need- social media to get any kind of traction. This thing that started as a fun, cute thing to post pictures to has turned into an unpaid second (3rd, 4th) job as marketers. It’s incredibly frustrating.
