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.
