Amethyst\'s Arts and Crafts

[SirSteel]

Hey Amethyst, how's the art going? Lots of nice progress up in here.

Hey, thanks. I haven't seen you in awhile.

I've been working on some more stuff since summer started for me but I've been a bit slow on account of feeling kind of blah recently :p

I signed off for awhile.

Ah that sucks, I liked seeing your work! Hope you feel better asap

Yeah, I've been doing a little better so far. I have a few different projects I'm working on right now so hopefully I can post some progress pics when I can.

Here's some tidbits of things I've been working on lately-

Some pieces for a cube-shaped dragon plushie (there's also green and red ones)


Scaling a green dragon. It takes awhile...


Design for an elk I want to embroider on a tunic I'm making


And not really an animal, but a head for a doll I'm working on (you can see her legs in the green dragon pic)

[Argrath]

That cubic dragon owo sooo cute 

And I can't believe that you're scaling that green dragon, the scales look pretty cool.

Also, great eyes you made there!

Holy cow, the detail on that scaled dragon is coming along nicely! Be sure to share a picture when you completed it?

Of course ^^ He's done and waiting on wings/eyes/horns and stuff. I'm also working on two others atm as well.

I just found this thread and I'm really digging your work, Amethyst. Like you said, most art online is drawings and paintings, so it's cool to see some sculpture.

Noice!

I'll have an army of dragons on my hands soon...


Here's some rough design sketches for a different dragon doll thing I wanna do


It's a little ambitious, but I want to a make a fully articulate/poseable(including moving jaw and grasping talons) dragon plush that's also more detailed. Things like a thick wire skeleton, sculpted and painted head, fully scaled, the works. It'll probably take awhile and a few tries but it will be worth it I'm sure.

Also bonus: Here's my pincushion

[Ventus Fall]

That army of dragons looks pretty darn amazing!
You happen to be selling them or making them on commission? xD


And your pin cushion looks adorable x3

[Razuel]

Amethyst, would you be willing to do up a plush for me, and in return I'll make you a 100x100 monster hunter pixel icon?


I'll let you judge how many you'd want to be worth the amount it would be for one of these plushies.

Thank you ^^ I'm trying to get my etsy shop up sometime this summer; it's probably going to be called Purple Dragons Studio or some such thing

I don't mind that, depends on what you want a plush of I do mostly my own designs but it would be neat to do something for someone else. And the cost in return can be worked out.

[Razuel]

Hm,  what would be the estimated cost for one of those recent dragons and one that would be a little desktop dragon/paperweight.


Individually that is, not both, just one

And if you haven't started on that wire dragon yet, then I'd like to volunteer my dragon for it.

The wire dragon will probably take little awhile to even finish a prototype so probably not that one ^^

The recent dragons like in the group picture would probably sell for $50 but I have a few early ones (similar but just prototypes) I could sell for $20 or so if you want a premade one.

Another option is that I've recently gotten some tools and clay to make miniature sculptures and I've been wanting to make a dragon. I could make one for you instead of a plushie if you'd like.

[Razuel]

Sure, I'll take a sculpture instead, but now for my end of the deal.

For me to make the thing I proposed, I'll need 2 things:
1. A reference sheet of your character
2. A monster from the major Capcom game Monster hunter
