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!! Remember those Colony charms I did for Chikara?

Well, I may have made a deal with the devil…well more like goblin prince. I’ve agreed to create charms for Kobald in exchange for him sparing my life AND free vacations to Bled Island!

You can buy them now at http://www.thebatiri.com/merchandise.html !!

Keychains, pins, earrings, magnets! Get em while they last!

 

 

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!)

 

Finally set aside time to conquer the camo lovin’ Militant Mat Mite! I was dreading this one a bit because how often do you paint tiny camo? Turned out to be pretty easy once I had gotten into the flow of it. I also couldn’t decide which detail color to go with..Yellow, red, or the current bright green? I obviously opted for yellow, to match the other two. I might do another version for fun. *Shrug* We’ll see.

 

 

 

 

Though I could not be at King Of Trios last weekend, I was able to spend that time working on these!

 

This is a personal project that has been sitting in my mind for some time now. I finally set aside other work to tackle the first version. I’ve wanted a way to show my support/pride/fandom other than the usual t-shirt. Especially as a female, we have accessories that we have the option to wear out of the house each day. So why not use my skills to add extra flare to my wardrobe?! So far i’ve only painted and assembled earrings but I plan to make hair clips, buttons, magnets even!

 

I started with The Colony..because I get three mask variations for one sculpt! I plan on doing a pair for each Ant and eventually im sure ill create a version for their newer masks.

 

When I can set aside the time I will be sculpting some more of my favorite luchador’s masks! Perhaps an Ultramantis is in the future?

 

I created the original in a very hard grade wax in order to get sharp detail. The wax sculpt is then casted in 2 part liquid rubber. Once the mold sets the orignal is removed and I can cast as many duplicates as I want in resin! These are painted and assembled by hand. Fun fun fun! *Note: Im silly and forgot to paint the extra black detail at the bottom of the mask. Whoops!*

 

 

 

 

If you aren’t familiar with Chikara or it’s amazing talent, check out their website http://chikarapro.com/ and their youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/CHIKARAoffice . It’s the best family friendly fun out there!

 

So things are falling into place and moving forward!

Since the last post i’ve collected all the parts and assembled my pressure pot, put final touches on my sculpt, cast two beautiful two part molds, and begun assembling a resin cast army of Fluff Fins!

Here are some quick pics of my first pull, before cleanup and sanding.

 

 

 

 

Today I finally, after much research, purchased my airbrush and first round of paints. So stay tuned for more pictures!
