Drew up the divisions where I want the seams and wrote in what they are. Took a few photos to avoid getting confused on how I put this together. Next step passing the tape pattern to something stronger. Mock up body will be put together as well.

Started on the plush I have been wanting to make for some time and overall pretty happy with where it is going. Take in mind this is totally new to me so the way I approach things might be a bit unusual but it gets me to the same end result. Let's start with how this idea started and what it evolved into.
The plush originally was going to be a laying down one. I had drawn up a basic idea of wha...

Since people really liked the canine sculpts from Megaplex decided to clean up the model more, make it lighter overall and add ears that are easier to glue on. Along with a strap attachment if the person wanted (up top and on the side) Going to work on different nose types for these so it can be adapted to different animals along with the ears. Need to do final clean up then I can print a test head soon after.
Aiming to have these and the feline head bases out around the same time, shou...

Been trying to do a sort of rough sketch for my 3D sculpts on my IPad. Since I can lay down/ sit on the couch and sculpt using Nomad sculpt I can let my head come up with a bunch of designs which I can later export to Zbrush and clean up. Like the K9 kit I plan to release hopefully a few next month or November the feline will be part of the new line of kits. These will be 3D printed, come with eyes, ears, nose, teeth and tongue.

I love Halloween so will be working on my first fully digitized pattern and adding them to beanies. These will be offered here on Patreon first 😸 these are mock ups (beanie photo I got online). Need to clean up the art and vectorize it next. Would you be interested in one?

I decided I wanted to add another laser cutter to my collection of machines at work to work along side my diode laser. My diode is not very strong so am restricted with what I can do when it comes to thick materials. I had been eyeing the glowforge's for a while and saw one used for the perfect price so I picked it up.
The glow forge is a Co2 laser cutter and it is big. So make sure you h...

Wolf is a partial and kitty is just a head. The cat has Velcro on eyelids to change the expression🐾

Been testing materials and pretty happy with the results I am getting with this laser cutter. The main materials I wanted to test were:
Thin Foamies
Plastic for eyes
Hard Felt
Thick Foamies
Thin Wood
These are all materials I use at work (aside from the wood as I was testing harder materials to cut). And the laser cuts them without an issue. These are some of the s...

I am currently learning how to use 2 new machines at the shop, a giant multi needle embroidery machine and as of last night a laser cutter. Been wanting to make parts of my suits cleaner and faster and the embroidery machine will help me to do so. Working on learning how to digitize my patterns like I did above with the paw pads. Currently using a program called Embird which has been really easy to learn and use. If you work with vectors or know how to convert your work into vector art it is ...

Selling a few foam casts, some are miscasts so be sure to read the description for each. These are all smaller casts or prints. All of these were made with the intention of being smaller heads so they do not fit larger frames. If you are under a 23 inch circumference measured above the eyes, then these will all fit without an issue. These are all great for partials or for people with smaller builds/frames.

The wolfs texture is pretty much done, now I am starting to work on the G-shep skin then I will work on the husky skin and more than likely akita as well. Pretty happy where it is going, trying to chip away at this as much as I can per night. I will be releasing the textures per month for a bit. I have a few ideas on colors and want to make a few to share. Took the collar out for now as the UV map was a tad bit messy so going to re do the collar since I wasn't 100% happy with the model. Also ...

Taking my time on the textures since I want them to look better than the ones I did in the past. I have blocked out the colors and starting to do my shadow layer which can be seen in the last photo (I texture all my avatars in substance painter). Once the shadows have been done I will work on the highlight layer.
Since the textures are taking a bit longer because I am being a lot pickier about what I want this time the avatar will be released next month. I do not want to rush all 3 text...

Been working on making cleaner textures and overall learning new ways of doing these. Sometimes it takes a bit of a break to get back into the swing of 3D. Was feeling in a bit of a rut with this guy a few weeks back but now I’m excited to see where he goes. First of of these 3 textures (very early work in progress). Aiming to have 3 done by end the week then it’s rigging time 🐶. I think the wait will be worth it 🥰
Initial textures will include: Wolf, Husky and G-shep.

Deluge has been working on the latest addition to Mixedcandy Island. Club Basura is the club on the island where I will hold dance events for everyone to join. Work in progress sent by Deluge, once the club is closer to opening I will see about inviting DJs 😊
Entry into the club is through the dumpster 😂 I should have the raccoon avatar ready just in time for this clubs opening.

Trying to get this boy wrapped up even though I keep changing things over and over. Should hopefully have the tweaks done on his face/chest tomorrow then its re topology time. Trying to keep him simple yet clean so he is easy to texture for everyone. Excited to release this one for my VRC tier :).

Working on hybrid heads for up coming customers to create a cleaner look. My biggest issue with hard based heads are how heavy they can be or how they are not comfortable. I have been working on trying to solve the weight and comfort issue on my own heads. I have way more control when it comes to adding more details with 3D printed heads, aside that they glue like a dream (using PLA Light which prints like a hard foamie 2021-08-15 21:01:27 +0000 UTC View Post
Been tinkering with the idea of adding a laser cutter to my shop sometime this year, but which one. I had my eyes set on a glowforge but at the time it is a bit cost prohibiting. Laser cutting won't be a "huge/important" part of what I do so wanted to maybe go with something under the 1k range. Been looking at different chinese lasers and these seem to keep popping up. Linked the video above to show why this one keeps swaying me. With a price range of under $500 and same wattage as a glowforg...

Going to be working on a new tier where a new mask design gets shipped to you (if you are in the US) monthly. This tier will be $20 and also gives you the same perks as the silver Fox tier. Since wearing masks is going to remain being part of our lives for a while, why not wear some cute ones.
Would this be something you would join? If so respond back.
EDIT: Face mask tier is now live :)

Been thinking about making modular parts for a suit head. Since I am heavily thinking of trying my hand at a mouth looker I could do some really awesome work on eyes. Was either debating magnetizing the eye socket so I can switch out parts. Or just magnetizing the eyeball itself and brow separate. This suit would be more of a proof of concept and more of a show suit since I would depart from the typical builds. Could cast the eyes in resin/or print them along with eyelids and flock them.

Since these ended up being a hit at Megaplex I wanted to offer them here as well. I will be offering more canines like these and adding a few other species.

Been wanting to offer head kits for people to fur/finish. So printed 5 canine heads which are ready to mount on a balaclava, add straps or foam.
What you get with these:
Running a custom head auction slot at the moment. Auction will run for 3 days. I don't usually run these so if you are just wanting a head and not a full suit be sure to check it out.

Both of these customers were very much ok with me testing new techniques on this heads and pretty happy with everything.

-New nose patterns to create a nostril nose without deep nose holes (will be posting this tutorial so...
