Bravely Default Project begins...

Thus starts my largest project so far...

I've decided to make a figurine for each job class in the game Bravely Default [with a few exceptions...], and I decided to make 1 of either Tiz/Ringabel and Agnes/Edea. This is because the male/female costumes for each class can be quite different, but the differences between each character [ie Tiz or Ringabel] are less noticeable...and if I made 4 figurines for each class I'd end up with... 80 or so figurines in the end! I'd go mad!... Not that that isn't going to happen anyway XD

For now I'm not planning on making three of the classes - Valkyrie, Time Mage and Dark Knight. This is due to their costumes having... elements I'm simply not sure I'd be able to make work in size constraints, and on a personal level, I consider the potential frustration at trying to make those classes is not worth the 'feel-good' factor of having made a 'complete' set XD

I've tried to split it so Tiz/Agnes and Ringabel/Edea are spread across a variety of jobs, although there are some choices made solely cause I liked one outfit better than another, or I felt the class fitted that character better than another.

Well, that's enough boring talk, time for some pictures! I've actually finished two sets by now, kept meaning to post after finishing the first one but I kept forgetting >.<

Set 1 - This was actually my endgame party set up XD
Knight Tiz
Spiritmaster Agnes
Ninja Ringabel
Black Mage Edea

Set 2 - Would be more efficient to do both male/female of classes at the same time but...that's boring!
Salve Maker Tiz
Knight Agnes
Black Mage Ringabel
Merchant Edea

Updates!

I've just updated with a COMING SOON! list, showing all the stuff I've been planning out over the past few weeks. Of course, I tend to end up getting enamoured with whatever I'm playing at the time, so... there will probably be some more projects that get given preferential treatment over some of those but... I planned them at least!

I'm also planning to finally write the MASTER LIST...just not tonight as my arms are tired XD

Also I'm thinking of trying out a new background image. I already changed the layout slightly, but I've got a couple of ideas to maybe make the blog look... about 1% less amateurish.

Time for tea and biscuits methinks.

Keyring Kollection

... I'm starting to regret titling this 'Keyring Kollection' already XD

But anyhow, I'm back! Not that I've really been anywhere, but as always it feels like I haven't updated in a thousand years.

I've got another post coming up detailing a few new projects and such, but this one is just to show off the new stuff I actually have finished right now.

Seeing as Christmas is now a billion years away, I decided to switch from Christmas decorations to keyrings! I went with the circular face style I used for the felt decorations I made, as I felt that it as keyrings, you don't really want lots of fiddly little parts that might break off and such if you decide to actually...well use a keyring as a keyring!

Dragon Quest Slime, Final Fantasy Cactuar, Mario Goomba and
Kirby and a Waddle Dee from...well Kirby.

Animal Crossing Keyrings - Isabelle, Digby, Tom Nook, Celeste,
Cyrus, Leif, Redd and Mabel
They're a little out of focus because I couldn't use the flash on my camera, as they're varnished so they end up looking like this otherwise -

Shiiiny.
I have once again, exhausted most of my clay supply [well the black/white/brown at least], but once I restock I may be making a few of these to go in my shop.

As a bonus, you can take a look at the design pages I made for these keyrings. I still have a lot of designs I haven't made yet!
