The only thing I don't 'rig' are the heads, I prefer to rotate and move them manually instead. And sometimes, for dragons with long body or some tails I use a curve modifier instead of bones/skeleton if that makes sense? One of my friends IRL prefers to sculpt directly in the final pose instead

Oh yes, because my sculpts are high poly, I keep all parts separate. I add a skeleton (bones in Blender) for each part, like one for the neck with the body, one for each leg, on for the tail, etc. It allows me to pose everything separately without Blender crashing and it's easier to fix any error

Oh I hope you'll share some of your 3D works, I'm sure it'll be amazing! Resin printers are such a great invention, I hope you'll enjoy making your own figures 💙

Wasted so much resin over it 😭And then obviously the ornaments that go around the bottle didn't fit well so I have to try and pad them with black felts. It works as long as no one pays too much attention to details 🫣

This is stunning 🥹 Love the bandana as well! Would be so pretty as a statue and an LED inside the lantern.

lil shiba with lil lantern I can’t wait for all the beautiful autumn colors

Thank you!! ;w; That one had me in tears 😂 I couldn't get a clear translucent print of the bottle so I ended up buying a big empty 'Christmas ball' for lol

Thank you so much 🥹

Thank you so much 😭💙 I'll try and get better photos whenever I can get some better sunlight ;_;

Also there's really no white dust on either my model or turntable, this is the camera again playing tricks on me with the light reflecting on tiny little spots. I swear the phone updates are degrading my camera on purpose to try and get me to buy a new thing, like it did for a coworker. As if!

Thank you, I really hope so ;-;

That'd be a cool tattoo!

I probably pushed my body too far, been going non stop for 2-3 months and it’s catching up to me now lol. Hopefully I just need a few days of rest but we have a tight deadline for those walls before the plasterer so I can’t fully rest… it’s maddening
