Hi, I’m pluv and sometimes I customize. Been a while.
First up is a D&D character I’m playing. A Giff (hippo folk) sailor with access to magic. Couple of weird things on this one worth pointing out.
First, is I made a very similar character for an entirely different campaign and this was the culmination of all the choices I ended up not going with. Never throw out ideas. Everything can be recycled.
Technique wise, I wasn’t satisfied with any of the toy hippo heads out there and I wanted to be able to add an opening mouth later. So I carved out essentially a foam skull and then sculpted over the foam. Not perfect, but I liked that process and have already figured out how to improve it.
Lastly are the soft goods, namely the top tunic. I wanted to be leather. It is supposed to be heavy leather on the character. Closest I could find were purses. Then an old baseball fell out of the closet and hit my foot. I dressed it up with some jewelry leather lace. Play Ball!
Oh, did I mention his main weapon is a magic floating tentacle?

My wife mentioned seeing a haunted house decoration on tiktok that the lady used a Dollar Tree dollhouse for. We found the doll house and I sprayed painted it. But then she wasn’t sure if she wanted it inside or in our herb garden by the front door. So I know it lacks details. But what I did want to show her was how cool it looked with tea lights…and a fiber optic. What I wanted to show you guys is it is Jada scaled!
