#WIPWednesday #WIP I’m done keeping it a secret! My big project of the year is a life-size green sea turtle bust whom I’ve affectionately named “Salsa Verde” So far I’ve finished sculpting and molding, and still have another flipper to cast before all casting is done. So thrilled with it!!

Almost a bingo…

There is another rescue local to us that is shutting down and we could really use some fosters- looking for people within reasonable driving distance of Suisun City, CA (must be willing to travel to Vacaville for vet appointments) all supplies will be be covered.

This is an emergency situation and the cats need to be placed ASAP. @rocketcatrescue.bsky.social is willing to take some of the special needs cats but we need fosters for either them or some of the existing cats in our program.

Got all ready to mold my big project just to find out that not only do I not have enough ultracal, but what I do have is all grainy and unusable :(

I’m hoping to design more button pins and stickers (aka not just wall mounts) soon! Unfortunately I’ve had digital art block for few months and it’s way too hot in my room currently for me to draw for more than ten minutes at a time.

#ShopUpdate Cryptid plush keychains! These little dudes are made with super soft fabric and are ready to hang out with you everywhere you go! To start this collection, there’s a super handsome Mothman and a stinkin’ cute Fresno Nightcrawler. ( #art ♡ #cryptids ♡ #plush ) www.MantodeaMarket.com

#ShopUpdate: I’ve officially decided to open up the Red Dragon and Flying Bison wall mounts for preorders! I’m expecting to start production mid-July, in order to allow me to lighten my workload with other projects first. ( #art ♡ #sculpture ♡ #dungeonmeshi ♡ #atla ) www.MantodeaMarket.com

“Delicious?” Yes. “Dungeon?” No, that’s just my yard. But to the fearsome and ferocious Red Dragon, that doesn’t matter! Red dragon mounts will hopefully be open for orders in July. Until then, check out my available items: www.MantodeaMarket.com ( #art ♡ #sculpture ♡ #dungeonmeshi ♡ #artsky )

#Portfolio My Dungeon Meshi red dragon prototype is DONE! I am so insanely proud of how it turned out. The plaque is 9”x7” and the horns are super sturdy. I’ll have orders open once my workload lightens:) www.MantodeaMarket.com ( #art ♡ #sculpture ♡ #dungeonmeshi ♡ #deliciousindungeon ♡ #artsky )

#WIP - Red Dragon from Dungeon Meshi

#WIP: a cat bust! I decided to do a sphynx so that if anyone wanted a custom of their sphynx, I won’t have to sculpt a whole new base. Most domestic breeds will work for this bust as once fur is added, you’d never know it started off as a sphynx! #artsky #sculpture #cat

Fun fact - I had to 3D print eyes specifically for this guy because none of my eye molds were the right size! All of my 5x7” mounts use the same eye mold, but this will now be the exception.

What if…I finally sculpted a cat wall mount after putting it off for a year…

I have a few small commissions to finish up but I am currently taking requests for work to begin in May/June. I can sculpt most non-human characters and am will to do NSFW on a case by case basis. For more info : verdantsculpts.com/pages/commis... #customSculpture #furryArt #fantasyArt #commsOpen
