Shh, He's Comfortable Original Pic From Blacksmith_boiz on Instagram (this Video)

long time no update, because I didn't have time to work on it and then had to redo a lot, but it's getting somewhere

back to April, when I drew lots of Jinxes in hope of learning something (it doesn't seem like it, but I learned a lot) this is an art collage of traditional sketches (my favorites being the grenade and sleeping Porofessor), two of which have been more or less painted over digitally (second pic is the comparison) there's also Jinx the cat cosplaying as Jinx, because I'm very funny

2023

hey, I may be a few days behind (on Arctober), but I've finally finished my chomper grenade for the Jinx prompt (well, at least as much as I'm willing to, because there are a few details missing and the bottom part is not painted)

it's entirely out of paper, work in progress pics below edit: here's a post explaining how I made it

love the firts paintjob (I forgot I could mix colours instead of only using black and white 👍🏻)

anyways, it's not as small as it seems to be in the pic where I hold it - it's about 12 cm tall

it's rather cute and was fun to make (not so much to paint), would recommend

thank you for 4 followers, how do you guys feel about more "rat metal" posters? I think they're neat

Craft update #1: the cardboard dragon

started: Aug 2023 status: abandoned

last year I had this wonderful idea to make a big articulated dragon thing (a childhood dream come true) ideally it would be made out of thin wood sheets (balsa wood?) and have bolts for joints - I guess the plan was to make a cardboard and toothpicks sketch and then a pattern to have it all laser cut (if you can even order smth like that), but I stopped at the (unfinished) sketch

it took days to cut out the segments (with the hind legs being remade entirely at some point) and I wasn't satisfied how the limbs connect to the torso (because I didn't plan it) - it would probably have to be remade/fixed a lot more, but I simply got (very) tired of it

now, the wings were supposed to be the really cool part, with hinges to allow them to move up and down, inner bones made of wire and some fabric for the membrane.. this never went anywhere and stayed as an idea in my head (one shitty cardboard wing sketch was made)

as of now, the dragon has been taped together to prevent everything falling apart, and is hanging from the ceiling to watch over when I sleep (first pic)

sweet dreams

please enjoy my abstract INK PRINTS those were made using a purple dye I stole right after painting our easter eggs, black ink, vinegar, my bedroom floor (it stank even 2 days after) and 3 different types of paper

seems like a perfect time to post some more photos of my Stardew Valley farmhouse miniature paper craft

go see the >>original post<< for more details on how I made it

after x years of living in a ridiculously small room with barely any sunlight, I'm moving into a better place
