yes, I painted her with wall paint

this has probably already been done (most likely a hundred times better), but I really needed to give it a try

🟥 TAGS #hor.art - my art #ask🍞 - are open #horeblog - reblogs #sthory - stuff I would post on insta story (shitpost, life updates); it usually gets deleted after a few days #katalog okazji - Polish supermarket flyer made entirely out of jokes

🟥 OTHER 🔻 sorry for not reblogging much, I couldn't decide if I want my blog to be original content only or not 🔻 if I don't follow you back, it's most likely because I'm easily overwhelmed and already consume way too much content; I hardly ever follow anyone these days 🔻 if you follow me on Pinterest, keep in mind that sometimes it won't let me view/respond to comments or edit my own posts

Craft update #1: the cardboard dragon

started: Aug 2023 status: abandoned

last year I had this wonderful idea to make a big articulated dragon thing (a childhood dream come true) ideally it would be made out of thin wood sheets (balsa wood?) and have bolts for joints - I guess the plan was to make a cardboard and toothpicks sketch and then a pattern to have it all laser cut (if you can even order smth like that), but I stopped at the (unfinished) sketch

it took days to cut out the segments (with the hind legs being remade entirely at some point) and I wasn't satisfied how the limbs connect to the torso (because I didn't plan it) - it would probably have to be remade/fixed a lot more, but I simply got (very) tired of it

now, the wings were supposed to be the really cool part, with hinges to allow them to move up and down, inner bones made of wire and some fabric for the membrane.. this never went anywhere and stayed as an idea in my head (one shitty cardboard wing sketch was made)

as of now, the dragon has been taped together to prevent everything falling apart, and is hanging from the ceiling to watch over when I sleep (first pic)

yes (ain't got much left, but it's honest work)

the first one was for an actual 3D class assignment, don't worry about it (I passed)
