So almost a year ago, I sat down to my desk and sculpted my stress away. I was spending all my time working in hard, slow wax for the Monkeynaut prototype. I needed a break to losen myself back up. This silly little catfish was the result!

 

Well, he was molded and casted a few times but eventually ended up on the back burner when life got in the way. I’m happy to say I finally got to revisit this little cutie. I’ve had some real fun bringing a small army of them to life!

 

 NOW, you can finally get your hands on one! Head on over to my store and pick out a cute desk mate for yourself!

 

The Fatty Cats are the first of quite a few personal projects I’ve had in the works. Time to give these neglected resin ramblings some love and attention! Stay tuned for more resin creations!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey guys! Do you remember this little resin cutie? Fluff Fin <–

 

Though this toy isn’t available JUST yet… I will have these awesome Fluff Fin shirts ready for purchase very soon! *And some stickers too!*

 

 

Coming to Designer Con November 3rd?  You will be the first to get your hands on them!

 

After that weekend these shirts will be available online through my store page (Coming very soon!)

So i’ve been interested in trying my hand at OOAK (One of a kind) soft body dolls/soft body sculptures. There are some really amazing artists out there who excel at making them and have inspired me to make my own. Needless to say, it was a daunting task since there are no tutorials and i’ve never sewn in my life.

 

Now I can say that i’ve figured out my own way of doing things..trial and error. I made a bunch of mistakes and discovered quicker ways of doing things. My mom helped me out a lot, teaching me how to hand sew and use a sewing machine. It was a journey… but a fun one to say the least!

 

His face and fins are sculpted in Super Sculpey. There is a single wire armature inside from head to tail. His fins can flop and move freely. He is stuffed with soft polyfill and pellets for added weight. His belly is covered in beige velour fabric.

 

I will definitely be making more. Different species..styles..furs..fabrics!

 

If you are interested in purchasing him please send me an email through the Contact page

 

 

Mr. Fat Feesh is finally getting a paint job! Check out these progress pics.

I’ll be picking up a smaller needle for my airbrush this week so that I can get a bit more detailed. He needs some slight highlights around the face and maybe a pearlescent hint here and there. Fun fun fun!

Yay! It feels good to post this. I’ve been working on him on and off between other projects and the holidays events. Here he is, before being baked, sanded, polished, and eventually painted. So I can’t quite say he is ‘done’ but there is no more sculpting to be done and he can put aside while I get to other items on my list. Look forward to a post around the end of Jan. for the Monkeynaut project! I can’t wait to show you guys but for now i’ll have to be patient

 

I should have been sleeping but this was too much fun! Just a random fat fish fun

 

I couldn’t decide which version I liked better..they both work for me in different ways!
