Would non-three-dimensional art be of interest to anyone over here?? Give me a shout if so!! Would love to broaden my range a bit….

Coming soon!!

Hello hello!! New section on my carrd (playdeadprops.carrd.co) that I’ll be using as a portfolio! This includes photos of the sculpts and finished products of everything I’ve made thus far, and will be updated as new creatures are made! Check it out!!

Never got a chance to post about these here, but these are little fellas I made in honor of this past @furrydelphia.org!! I only ended up making two (so far), one that I gifted to the wonderful @spinchcat.bsky.social and the original “prototype” which I have, any ideas what to do with the mold now??

Hey! Long time no see!! Working on something in honor of an upcoming convention I will be attending….. keep an eye out over the next day or two!!

Coming soon I promise!!!!

Hey, long time no see!! I’ve been working away behind the scenes on some stuff…. including this new “moonlight” color variant of Autumn! This’ll be available in the shop soon, I had a lot of fun with this one, especially the UV paint!!

Prometheus has his first consult tomorrow to discuss the surgery coming up and everything that's going to entail. It's going to be tough💖 You can still help fund his surgery, though! Digital Art: ko-fi.com/hirothedragon Lil' Prometheus: www.playdeadprops.com/product/litt... [ #furry #opencomms ]

Hey y’all!! So if you haven’t checked it out already, one of the items available in our shop is a small hand-made latex Prometheus squish. 100% of the proceeds from that item go directly to his surgery fund, and you’ll get a cute little sticker too (see below)! Link is under this thread, thank you!!

Organizing my workspace today! Got this wonderful (and very needed) shelving unit, so I’m putting it to work. Very very excited that things are getting a little more “official” around here!!

Hey y’all! Did you miss out on our soft-opening drop?? NO YOU DIDN’T!! There’s still plenty of cool stuff available that YOU could own!! Go check out the website! www.playdeadprops.com 🖤

The first ever batch of Play Dead orders is out of my lair and into the hands of UPS!! If you ordered on the day of the drop (5/30), one of these is yours! Thank you to everyone for their patience, I’ve still got a couple stragglers to ship that came in later but they’ll be on their way very soon!!

Painting pumpkins!! Hoping to get the first batch of orders out this afternoon!! 👀

Thank you endlessly to those of you who purchased something and to all of those who showed me any sort of support, I cannot believe how kind you all are and my heart is so so full right now 😭💖💖 If you ordered something, it should ship in a few days!! I’ve already started making them, so get ready!!

We are LIVE!!! Go check it out everybody!!!!! www.playdeadprops.com

Under 30 minutes until drop!!! 👀👀👀👀 VIOLENTLY SHAKING

Today is the big day!!! Shop opening at 6:00pm EST with five brand new items, check ‘em out now before the drop!!! www.playdeadprops.com 🎃☠️🐶

Alright, the secret is out!! I’ll be doing my first ever “drop” THIS FRIDAY!!! I’m calling this a “soft opening” because there’ll only be 5 products in limited quantities, but I’m excited to test the waters so to speak!! You can preview the upcoming products NOW on my website!! www.playdeadprops.com

Woah, what’s this?? New text on the website?!? Big announcement tomorrow, watch this space…. www.playdeadprops.com

Spent the last few days working on a super unique and super secret project for a very special friend… I can’t show much of anything *yet* for obvious reasons but it has been a lovely learning experience with lots of trial and error!!! No better way to learn then to try stuff out and see what works!!

Paint attempt #2!!! So so happy with this one, airbrush+cordsprayers was the way to go!!

A fella! A little guy!! Here’s the little latex gargoyle/creature I sculpted and cast! Vaguely based off an unrelated drawing by the incredibly talented @soapmoss.bsky.social, I’m still working on the paint style (this was done via brush, will be airbrush eventually!) but overall I’m pretty happy!!

Just finished up my first *successful* larger-scale plaster mold!!! What’ll it be, what’ll it be….. the latex is dwelling as I type!! 🎃☠️🐶

Had a bit of a catastrophe today. Went to mold my favorite sculpt ever to make into a product, and ended up destroying everything (including the sculpt) in the process. It’s devastating to say the least, I loved this little fella so much. Hoping I can get the courage to resculpt them one day 💔💔💔

Supplies are here…… time to start making some creatures!! 👀 this space……..

Ahh!! I have a web domain now!! It’s www.playdeadprops.com! I just have it set to a maintenance page for now, but I’m hoping to have it up and running with product previews in the next couple days!! Keep an 👁️ out!! 🎃☠️🐶

Hey y’all!! Sorry again for the radio silence, had two cons two weekends in a row so I have been super busy!! I did just place an order for some supplies though…. so I’ll be back to making creatures and critters asap! 🎃☠️🐶

Alright, first new cool thing I’ve been working on: this guy! Hand sculpted in clay, molded in silicone, and then cast in resin… there was a LOT of trial and error in making this little fella but I’m really happy with how this proof-of-concept turned out!! Oh, and the “cauldron” is a salsa bowl… 🎃☠️🐶

So sorry there hasn’t been many updates here!! I’ve been working away on some really neat ideas, and I even may be vending at a local market in a few months!! Also, I purchased some stickers to include in orders (when I start selling!!) and to hand out to folks, which I’m super excited about!

OKAY OKAY, SO: I am incredibly excited to announce that Play Dead has an actual logo now!! It was designed by @hirothedragon.bsky.social, who replicated the idea I had in my head pretty much verbatim (with stuff I didn’t even think of!!) and I’m just so so happy with it, massive thank you to him!!!

Hey there! So I put together this little video to share some of the resin casting process for the figures I’ve been making, watching the chemical reaction in real time just never gets old, I hope you guys enjoy! More actual content to follow, I promise!! 🎃☠️🐶

TWO OF THEM

After *lots* of troubleshooting, I was able to cast this little fella in resin and paint them! Pretty happy with how this came out for a first attempt!

CAPTURED

Hey there! So I spent my evening sculpting this little creature, not entirely sure what their story is yet but I’m pretty happy with them so far! ^^

Okay so first *real* post, and it’s actually not spooky-related!! I recently decided to make a little something for someone who has unknowingly helped me a lot, that being @anxietyfox.com! Mental health representation is so important, so I made this little resin Anxiety Fox as a thank you to them!!

Hey critters!! I know you're confused, so what is this?? Well, after spending about half my life so far exploring the professional and retail Halloween/haunt industries, I finally got up the courage to do something I've wanted to do for a LONG time... make my own spooky stuff!! 1/4🧵
