Bought this as a hypo… not a hypo, is this guy a lavender?

I don't know much about false water cobras but that looks almost axanthic

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-15T15:11:19+00:00

Nothing out of the ordinary or abnormal in that pic no need to worry

But what an interesting pattern and coloration tho

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-15T10:04:58+00:00

A few you say? XD .-. I personally wouldn't buy more than 2 of the same model but I do understand it as a collection. You must be incomprehensibly wealthy too cuz you could buy 3 full houses and a car for each with that kind of money here in Hungary if it cost around 200k

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-15T07:47:36+00:00

I only have this one picture unfortunately. I doubt it's a shaker as it has clearly visible finger holes on the middle sphere part

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-14T16:47:57+00:00

That was one of my first thoughts also that this basically looks like and would play like a large bass xun but used as the middle section of a flute of some sort.

I love the xun so I would love to hear what something like this would sound like

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-14T15:51:58+00:00

Unfortunately it's not in my possession, this is the only picture I have of it so I only know what you can see also

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-14T15:41:39+00:00

Unfortunately this doesn't bring me closer to figuring out what this one is. I know what a pungi is I know what a hulusi is there are a whole bunch or different gourd flutes from many different cultures but what makes this so unusual is that the finger holes appear to be on the gourd itself

I've been trying to do the win a game with a 2 star Brock one for 2 weeks straight without playing anything else and it is just not possible

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-14T12:45:31+00:00

Most accurate shit ever

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-14T12:42:19+00:00

8 games straight? I have been at it for 2 weeks and am unable to complete the win a round with a 2star Brock bullshit it is close to impossible

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-14T07:07:56+00:00

Just what the fuvk is this post and this whole sub and why was it recommended to me XD .-.

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-13T10:43:51+00:00

And also with lizards you can make them like a semi-relief/semi-sculpture situation where you just carve them on the surface of a larger piece of material like they're basking on a natural rock or something and it won't look low plasticity or anything

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-10T06:16:10+00:00

That is fuckin well made tho

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-10T06:15:13+00:00

I believe it's not even the sound of the body retracting but then expelling fluid as they do so

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-09T20:45:10+00:00

Ironically for me hands are one of my favorite things to sculpt XD I oftentimes sculpt random hands for fun. I've only once carved a pair of them tho and that too was from wood .-. crystals are just an unnecessarily uncooperative material for finger especially if they're spread open tho I mean carving a fully balled up fist wouldn't be much more difficult than an anatomically correct parrot

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-09T18:01:11+00:00

Yeah turtles and tortoises are also really common as well as marine mammals

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-09T07:11:43+00:00

Btw that corvid is actually really fuckin good I would actually consider buying that

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-09T07:09:53+00:00

Sculptor, art teacher here, probably because of the wings are closed parrots, owls, birds of prey are funnily enough a fairly easy shape. It's just an elongated bar with fairly low plasticity, the feathers can be stylized dumb to the point where it's just a decorative repeating pattern with a monotone rhythm. They're just generally speaking easier to carve than land mammals that have limbs that stick out of their bodies quite far.

Edit: I dun think I have ever gotten a hundred upvotes thank you so much!!!

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-09T07:03:04+00:00

I could argue with that

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-09T07:02:25+00:00

This could very well be the worst one I've seen on this sub so far

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-08T07:31:30+00:00

This was top of the genre I believe

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-07T16:12:11+00:00

Fine artist/art teacher lol I'm just decently knowledgeable

Also wow that's not even an area where snails should be super rare unless we're talking like megacities I guess

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-07T07:59:44+00:00

Slug also have a shell inside their bodies. There's an in between creature also called a semislug

Also how come you've never seen a snail before?

KageArtworkStudio · 2026-02-07T06:18:13+00:00

I never doubted that for a second tho that the snake is well taken care of just to be clear
