Redesign time!

Yes, the blog has had a tiny facelift, nothing too major, it still looks like it was thrown together but now I can distract you with the pretty paint background.

Plus now Mini Manda has a box. What's in the box? Who knows. It's a mystery!

Edit - Just remembered, I'm also planning to update my shop a bit, with international shipping rates, and tidy up contact options and such within the next week or so...so there's that too.

Final Fantasy XIV Minions!

Final Fantasy XIV! Woo! I originally bought it to just see pretty places and such, not planning to actually play properly as I'm not much of an MMO person...and then got a bit hooked. I'm still not much of an MMO person, but I still love this game a bit too much XD

So I originally started these last year, and then stuff happened and then Christmas and such and so I didn't finish them all... And there are still a few more I'd like to make some time.

I'm quite proud of some of them, ambivalent about others, and frustrated with a couple of them, but nevermind.

The full post has closeups of each of them, but the formatting is pretty weird. so there's that.

Fantasy Life Part 2!

I actually finished these last week, I've just been a bit slow with putting them up online XD

But here we go, Part 2 of the Fantasy Life Extravaganza!

Noelia

Noelia Back View - Camera hated it XD

Pam	Her hair ended up weighing a ton XD

Princess Laura - That dress drove me nuts

King Erik - I love that crown though

Daemon / Damien

All his gold parts made my hands all twinkly

Olivia - Pirate Mode. Not sure about the face

She looks a bit wonky from the back, hair is nice though

Leilah - She looks so confused, poor thing. Plus that FIMO gradient....

Just had enough of this colour left for  her hair

Pino - He was a menace. So cute though.

He looked so simple, yet he had lots of details to add

Leo - My favourite. Shush, don't tell the others...

His little arrows keep falling out.

Robin - He was nice and simple. The hat used too much FIMO though XD

Fantasy Life Part 1!

Fantasy Life! I love it. Super much.

This is the biggest collection of figures so far, but luckily they're a lot smaller than my Suikoden figures.

To start with we have the Elemental spirits, my favourite Plushlings [PLUSHLINGS <3] and the ultimate star of Fantasy Life, the Napdragon!

Group photo! No one poke the Napdragon though and upset him!

Store open now!

Yes, the store is open for business!

These little cuties have been added.

Kirby Set 1

HIIII! Says Kirby.

I've been sitting on putting these up for a while, cause the photos aren't very good quality, and I don't really like them very much anymore.

These are the first set of Kirbys I made, and were actually the first polymer clay figures I had made in quite a few months, so they were sort of an exercise in trying to remember how to do what with the clay XD

Looking back at them now, the proportions are a little iffy [the feet are far too big XD], plasma kirby's eyes are a bit off, and various other problems that I can't help but notice whenever I look at them now.

Ah well. They're still Kirby, so they're automatically cute. Kirby is love.

Kirby!

I got a bit carried away with the ice crystals

Normally my star drawing skills are terrible. These aren't too bad though.

A little Suikoden Update

Hello!

I've got a few things in the works at the moment, and sitting on a batch of Kirby figures that I need to photograph for the blog soon as well.

But to fill the void until then, I found these photos I took of my Suikoden figures which I thought were kind of neat, so I gave them a tiny bit of digital jiggerypokery to make them look a bit more exciting, and now I'm uploading them here. Exciting, I know.
