Beast of Darkness is a character from Berserk manga.
Resin, fabric fur, wire+plastic armature, primer, acrylic paint, varnish. Posable neck has plastic ball-and-socket armature inside and can be posed. Tail is also posable and has wire armature inside. Legs contain wire armature inside, so you can carefully and slightly move it to find perfect balance if you keep the doll on uneven surface.
I really love the way the fenkats look in profile. I don’t have a great way to rig the room guardians for full body animation so doing intimate close ups has been a great way to kind of take some short cuts with the animation. Without having to worry so much about the pose, I can focus more on the tiny details like hair and ear movement to convey emotion.
today I started on my next fun design, this time I'm going to focus on snap-fit ball joints and see if I can't make this guy poseable, and figure out a way to get this guy to stand up!
a lovely tri-color clown commissioned from @it-is-no-use !! it was so much fun doing a commission that was far different from my usual commissions!! he turned out so cute!
A super productive day! Spent about 12 hours working on this lil guy, and really pleased with how its turning out. Hoping to finish tomorrow! This one is a baku, and is filled with a mugwort, chamomile, rose mixture, in addition to the standard fluff n beads for weight. Mostly merino wool, a bit of mohair, and I think a silk blend? I'm not sure but its soft AF.
Also, I know this is my first Tumblr post about these on this page(or is it I usually do these in waves) but I've finally developed a sort of lore for these.
They're basically avatars for extraplanar entities, to allow them an anchor to our physical realm. So like, the toy is just a manifestation of a larger, more powerful entity that can't fully exist in our world. The dolls each call to specific consciousnesses that resonate with them, and then they bond, and the consciousness now has access to our world. The entities called to the dolls are protectors, guardians, adventurers, and scholars who explore our world and care for those who care for their physical anchors. This baku will represent restfulness, good dreams, and peace. The entity that will anchor itself to it will be a nightmare eating beast that protects the dreams of its caretaker.
Each companion creature will come with an adoption form and description of their traits.
Lol so far this round of creatures is all about protection and bravery.
i made a wonderful lil fella the other day ^-^ this is my first time making an actual posable free standing doll and I'm super proud of myself!!!! I might make more to sell if people are interested, I had a good time making this guy
