Sterre in real life. Lots of pictures!

Mis's picture


And after months, finally, I've finished Sterre for Parrotsnpineapple.

She was a really difficult, but fun project. Lots of mistakes were made, lots of things were learned. I think I figured out how hair is inserted the best way, and long live tiny mini paint brushes. Oh yes. And working with minky on a puppet.
Aaaaaaaa.

I knew it'd fold. So I had to prevent that as much as possible. Dang. Oh well.

She is fully poseable, the clay parts being Super Sculpey and the fur is minky. Which is really messy to work with. These pictures were unfortunately done in bad light.. Taking pictures in the darksucks XD
But here they are anyway!


I could not find a good location. Suuch a shame.


Ended up back in my room on my bed. XD


Eyelashes.




Added Mato in the shots. Because he's a creeper. Actually he's in most of my in-progress shots as he hides beneath my monitor. So it was fitting to put him in here too.


Newest doll VS first doll. I guess standing-on-top-of-Mato-pictures are now mandatory.

Really loving how you did

Really loving how you did her! And that last picture, Mato looks so scared and the expression on Sterre's face is priceless.

Eeeeee! She’s so lovely,

Eeeeee! She’s so lovely, definitely the best of your puppets so far, she looks just amazing. I love how slim and elegant she is and she’s packed with so many wonderful and charming details, her eyelashes, those little embroidered stars on her pelt and galaxy fragments. And her braid! You braided it! And the tie looks like the tie Verve made her.

She’s wonderful, I’mma kidnap her for sure.

And lol, poor Mato. Always getting smacked around. XD Loved all these pictures <3

You are an amazing artist

You are an amazing artist all-around, but I have to say your dolls are the most astounding. Sterre looks absolutely astonishing. Minky was a really brave and wonderful choice of fabric, and the sculpting here is very good.

This is amazing, as always <3

This is amazing, as always <3 Your dolls are getting so great, I love how you made everything. Her face looks also precious, Goodwork Mis (:

Spider: Thank you! Haha yes,

Spider:
Thank you! Haha yes, he always looks scared, traumatized by the things that appear on my monitor as he always sits in front of it Cool... XD

Sight:
Glad to hear that! I hope every last one is the best XDD Well the braid is cleverly photographed, as is that tie.. >_>"....... Kate's better with beads I bet. Haha thank you XDD

Apoidea:
Pft haha! Don't give me too much credit. But yes, I enjoy making these dolls majorly. They take a long time though.
I wish the light was better to show the sculpting off, but I'm very happy with it.

Nopje:
Aw thank you so much dear! ♥

Flyleaf:
Thank you Eye

Moon blaggy:
Thanks! With the time I spend on her, she better be! XD

Ill say it once and I will

Ill say it once and I will say it again. Wow.
This is by far the best puppet you have made, I can understand why you would miss her. Id take her with me when I visit next year but that would be so risky.
I love everything you have done, although at times she went through some hardships (POOR BURNT FACE) you cant even tell. Her face is so striking and cute. Ahhhhh. Baby cute. Mum would be so proud (YOU AND MUM)

Poor Mato. He always gets beat up 8( We need to give him a shovel.

I love it. ilu. Mato plush will be coming soon

Just asking ...are you still

Just asking ...are you still doing these ...?
I would like to request one for my friend "Amezegenalo's Rumen" ....
Sorry for not linking ....my laptop refuses to do so ...don't know why ?!
Rumen is a Mini with Peacock pelt , no mask and Dodt antlers or default ones with Flowers .
And maybe one for me ...My Flyleaf ....Dodt pelt , Blue Luchador mask and candles .
And don't feel pushed to do these ....if you have no mood or no time ...it is Ok ...!!
What will be your payement method ?
Maybe Paypal ?
Btw .....you can do those how you want ...no need to do them with the exact looking pelt or so .
You are free to do them as you like Smiling
Edit :
I am feeling too selfish ....others made art for me ...So i don't want my Fly done but instead "Dampir"
He has the skull mask , dodt pelt and default antlers with candles .

OkamiLugia: Haha a lot of

OkamiLugia:
Haha a lot of time was spend on figuring out details and how to bring them in. Starspots. Aaah.

Parrot:
And that's why I'm keeping her till januari. NANAA. Nah I'm kidding, but argk christmas mail.
HAHA oh god yeah the fear I had when I burned her face. She was PURPLE. But paint solves all. Lots and lots of white layers.
He needs a shovel to hit back? >_>"..Atleast he can strangle them..

Eeee MATOPLUSH! HUG THE CREEEPEERR

Flyleaf:
Ah dear you are way too sweet XD Hugest compliment is someone asking to get one for themselves too. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to dissapoint you for now.. They sound like fun to do, and maybe one day I'll figure out a way to make them quicker. But until then I fear they'd be either very expensive, or I will make a loss on them. I tried in the past to make them commissionable, and I don't regret doing so, but I have to refrain from them for now XD
I also have a huge list of things I want to do. Well "huge". Next up is Verve, and then there have been whispers of collaborration projects with some other fancy artists. And I might be having a freelance animation job soon so ack, I couldn't make the promise anytime soon! You're very kind wanting to commission something like that for your friends though Smiling

This is probably the best one yet. All the details... Smiling
A friend and I are trying to make a posable creature using a method similar to yours. What is a good source to go to for fake fur? Any other advise?

Wow, you seriously did an awesome job doing Sterre. Love how you done the face and hair. The body is beautifully done too.

Flyleaf: I hope to make more!

Flyleaf:
I hope to make more! Lots more! But they take a long time XD.. But next up on my list is one for myself, hoping to make Verve Smiling

Wingeddeer:
Haha thank you XDD

Lung:
Thanks! I’m almost out of things to say, but I really appreciate you guys taking time to leave a comment ^^

Seed:
Pft! You right there are pretty amazing! >8C XDD
Thanks ♥

Echosong:
Oh! Awesome! I’d love to see! Well, urrrr. You and I are not really in the same part of the world. But I might have a website. This is an etsy shop that ships from the US. Actually, on Etsy it’s quite easy to search for fabrics too.
Otherwise, google is your friend! I get my faux fur from dutch shops, since otherwise I get poor from shipping alone.
On other tips, that’s difficult to say. If you run into any problems, feel free to contact me and I’ll try to tell you what I know! I also made progress-pictures of two of my projects. First one here, and the second one here. Those might be useful. Otherwise, super sculpey > fimo for faces/antlers etc. It’s just stronger. Fimo is good for bones though. It’s cheaper >_> For me at least.

ChewbaccaBigSis:
Thank you!

RikkaChan:
Haha thanks! She gave me a loottt of trouble. But that’s the challenge really.
