I sometimes wonder if my being drawn to male characters from "girl" toy media has anything to do with me being trans masc.

sculpting is all fun and games until I have to sand it

The sculpt is a lot easier to show off in a video. So here's a video.
I've actually got a lot of sanding and tiny adjustments, but the bulk of the sculpting is done.

sometimes I wonder what I'd be making rn if I'd stuck with handmade art dolls and not switched to customizing pre-made toys.

Discord's a fun character to sculpt bc he's purposely asymmetrical, so I don't have to worry about making his features even. One of his eyes is supposed to be a little smaller than the other. One of his ears is supposed to be a little larger. Really takes the pressure off.

And we have horns, ears, and eyebrows. Ears and horns are currently removable since I'll have to cast them separately. I have a bit more to do before I'll be doing any mold making, but it's coming along well.

Have I said I don't like Sisu's design. Bc I don't like Sisu's design.

If you're wondering why I ditched the Sisu head, here's a comparison.

I always forget how much I enjoy sculpting until I'm actively doing it.
He looks better head-on in person, but his face it so long it's hard to photograph.
Gonna give this a first bake, then call it a night. Other additions, adjustments, and smoothing can be done after baking.

Alright let's see if I can sculpt this bastard. Ears and antlers are gonna have to be separate for casting reasons. I drew a mane in the photo, but I might try to use fur for it instead of sculpting.

After a lot of thought and testing, I'm just gonna sculpt the whole head from scratch and try to mold and cast it in resin like I did when I made Mothra.
It'd look better and I could made it hollow so it's less heavy.
Despite my excitement for the project, I actually haven't done a lot of work on Discord yet just because there's a lot of things I need to figure out on paper first before I get to the fun stuff.
Like aesthetic wise, aside form the head, the changes needed aren't that complicated. If I were unconcerned about articulation this would actually have been a pretty easy custom.
Unfortunately, I want probably too much from this figure and will make everything hard for myself lol.

if they were going to do a bathing suit, why not have it be Kay's iconic white suit? and then maybe the fancy bits are seaweed/other ocean plants/something she could've stolen off a human ship
I wish this doll were cheaper, I'd buy her to customize bc I really like Creature from the Black Lagoon, but I can't justify buying skullector dolls unless I like them as is. They're just too expensive.

playing around to sate my own curiosity. I made her a more yellow toned green, and made her slightly less saturated. Also took away the orange lips

Went to the antique mall today. Lot of Care Bears and G3 MLP.
Got this neat custom pony, small Grumpy bear, and enamel pin.

Signature on the custom says it was made in '08.

I wanna like the new skullector more than I do, but I just feel it's missing something. I don't dislike her, but she doesn't really stick out to me either.
