I love this cartoon :3 The Skymaid is one of my favorite characters so I had to make some fan art in the form of a pin.

It’s been a while since my last update, but I’ve got a lot to show for it. I’ve been busy working on figurines inspired by EarthBound, Mother3, and Animal Crossing.
Ness, the hero of EarthBound, is cast in 4 pieces, painted with acrylics, and is 3.5″ tall. There are 6 total.
These little, orange, beady-eyed critters are only 1″ tall. They are each signed and numbered and available for a limited time through Fangamer.net.
Available again in the future in the Fangamer store: Shark Punks! A limited run of 10 individually signed and numbered, cast resin figurines inspired by EarthBound.

From June 2008 to February 2009, I worked steadily on 46 figurines, one painting, and one illustration based on game sprites from Mother 3, a GBA game from 2006. This is the much anticipated sequel to the very unique 1995 Super Nintendo game, EarthBound (or Mother 2), created by Shigesato Itoi.
Shortly after I finished up the Midna figurines, I started what would become a 7-month, 45-figurine marathon of sculpting for the Mother 3 Handbook. I’m not quite ready to show off the fruits of my labor just yet (expect a post about it on April 1st), but I wanted to explain my technique for making clay figurines.
For this example, I’ll be making a Mani Mani statue from Earthbound which is an old Super Nintendo video game from 1995. These were given out by starmen.net as prizes for the annual Halloween Funfest.
Almost exactly 2 months ago, I started creating a Midna Army. Midna is a video game character from the Legend of Zelda game, Twilight Princess. She looked like quite a challenge. I’ve never attempted to make such a complex figurine with so much detail.
I’ve been getting a lot of use out of these surprisingly realistic leaves, so I thought I’d share my process.
I’m glad to see some interest in Lumina Polymer Clay! I’d like to share my thoughts and hopefully answer some questions about this remarkable clay.
I’ve discovered an interesting way to create barbed wire without the tetanus!
You’ll need 3 lengths of wire of roughly the same length to coat with clay: one somewhat stiff craft wire (stiff enough to hold its shape), and two nylon-coated stainless steel beading wires. You’ll want to use longer pieces than you think you’ll need because they end up twisted together. Mix some acrylic paint into a ball of lumina polymer clay to create a lovely shade of muddy dark brown.
