This idea came from Halloween day 2020, and I brainstormed possible ideas Oct/Nov 2020. This whole endeavor was inspired by seeing articulated finger extensions on youtube.
This took a lot of time. There were quite a lot of lulls, but days upon days of work went into this. I didn't start taking progress pictures until ~October 2021, so a lot of the process just lives in my head.
By far the most difficult part of the project was figuring out the template for the crow mask itself. I knew of the whole wrap a body part in clingwrap and then duct tape to get a template, which I did around my head to get the inner headpiece, but that only works for fitted things.
I did a whole bunch of tomfoolery over gr10 winter break to get around this. I make like a paper mockup of my head, and then I built off of it with paper tubes to get general shape and structure of the crow mask down. This took so long omfg. I wish I'd taken a picture. I made a huge mess of the house for weeks over the break as I slaved over this stupid shite. Once i'd gotten it,,, it was just like,,,, kinda rudimentarily figuring out what size the foam pieces would be π
It worked out eventually, but man was it annoying π
I don't think I worked on it much after that until sept/oct 2021. Beginning of october was the final rush because I really wanted it done for the halloween.
When gluing together the pieces, I didn't have any barge contact cement so it was a struggle. Initially I was using a contact cement, but it didn't work well with the EVA foam, and I found that I was able to just pull the glue off once it'd become tacky (wouldn't even damage the foam - was just laying on top of it). So I used a lot of superglue and... other types of glue I can't remember to force em together.
Used a dremel tool and foam clay to smoothen the seams and add more details.
Magnets are embedded in the jaw for movement and to hold the jaw in place. Initially, I wanted the lower jaw to move up and down as I move my jaw, but I never figured out a way to get the torque to achieve that (and it was too late to go down that rabbit hole once i'd realised that the jaw wasn't working as I'd hoped).
Painting was a couple layers of mod podge followed by acrylic paint and then a couple sealing coats of varnish.
Teeth were made out of peachy-coloured polymer clay and glued into the mouth after it was painted. They were used to mould the foam clay gums prior to painting.
Then it was done!

2021 - 2022 Yearbook Cover Contest

My entry for the yearbook cover contest in gr11. Didn't win π’
I remember really really struggling to come up w an idea for this. I'm okay with the front cover (I think that bull needs some work), but I think I should've used the back cover's watercolour theme throughout. I prefer that look a lot more.

Animation I made to showcase the movement and associated friction points (red) of the mechanism we made for DP4 π.
Just a quick lil animation, was funny busting this out.
OK. So krita 5.5.2 having ffmpeg just in the normal installation is so much more convenient than having to download it separately??? BRO I needed to get this done the day I started it and downloading ffmpeg was gonna take a whole day π. -7kB/s goofy ahhh
I ended up exporting the individual frames and uploaded them to openshot video editor to get the video. AND THEN openshot would not export as a .gif correctly so I exported as a .mp4 and then converted it to gif format w convertio π―ββοΈπ―ββοΈπ―ββοΈ
If I had just known I coulda just updated krita ππ©βοΈ. Would've saved me sm hassle π

Drew the majority of this when I should've been working on a presentation π£οΈπ£οΈ
Edited afterwards to increase the contrast btwn the colours and increase the width of the green stripe because the stickers I received from stickermule were really dark.
Most of the details are made up because there weren't many clear reference pictures, and the details varied depending on the reference anyways.

Hazbin Hotel | Alastor: Redesign, 2P!, Canon
~October 22, 2024 IbisPaintX
Made a little Alastor redesign/AU that sprouted from the thought of "what if Al actually had a poker face," since canon Al like actually doesn't have one at all. It turned into "Alastor that just doesn't emote with his face/is always expressionless."
Then drew this guy with Canon and @anic-mj 's 2P! Al, since they're both very emotive in very different ways).
I have a really hard time drawing Alastor. I'm finding that I really need to stray from drawing him like viv does for me to not see it as uncanny. I'm ok with this drawing, but it still feels semi-off.

The posters I made for Anifest! Fully realized and tangible!!
There are 4 designs:
Made in Abyss | Riko, Meinya, Reg, Nanachi, Prushka, Turbinid Dragon
Hellboy | Hellboy
Jujutsu Kaisen | Sukuna
Spirited Away | Bathhouse, No face
Did some test prints at my uni. Would've straight up just printed them there if it wasn't for the discolouration that was consistently showing up on one side of the paper.
Printed the final posters at a printing shop near my uni because I wanted them to be good quality. Printed 15 copies of each one (very funny on my part).
I really love these posters. Having my own digital art printed is really sick and I legitimately look at and appreciate my own skills whenever I look at these posters irl. I'm really happy with them and happy that I haven't come to look at them as flawed as I do with a lot of the art I make. I truly became a beast for this artist alley.
