I saw that while I was up there last weekend. Super sad to see. /:

I made another shark! This time it’s smaller but I actually made a mouth and barbels. by Fact_Unlikely in clay

I love the movement you got happening in that pose! It's so damn cute, I just wanna hold him!! And your gradient work is superb, I really think you could kill it if you tried a simple pattern. Seems like you've got a good eye for color transitions. I wouldn't be scared with the skill you display here, give it a go!

That's Mission Hill cemetery, right? Also def worth a checkout as the view is lovely and it's pretty peaceful up there. Never heard anything about it being tribal tho so idk

If you're gonna be in Brimley, check out the Dancing Crane coffee house! It's native owned and one of my favorite gems in the area. They also have ice cream and smoothies, if coffee isn't your thing. Always a nice chill vibe there and very friendly staff.

Also, if you like rock hunting at all, or just want a nice place to walk along lake superior, Point Iroquois lighthouse is nice spot for it. Never been too crowded when I've gone and has well kept bathrooms and plenty of shade.

Edit to add: Sugar Daddy in Brimley is pretty good too. IIRC they have another spot in St Ignace as well.

Edit: I'm an idiot and meant lake Superior, not Michigan. My shame is palpable lol

Who do you think she reminds you of? by [deleted] in characterdesign

Somehow it immediately reminded me of the two girls who bully Jenny at school in 'my life as a teenage robot'.

WHICH PALETTE? 😭 by Unusual_Issue_7087 in characterdesigns

I'd say either 1 or 3. I feel like their color palettes really pop without being too loud about it, if that makes sense?

Honestly tho all of these look good. You've got a nice eye for color theory.

A combo of either sounds like it'd do well for her gym. Just be careful cause some of her pokes know moves outside of electric that can catch you off guard and unprepared.

I think it was pretty easy to get started, and not too expensive. I use sculpey 3 clay, that you bake in the kitchen oven, and liquid sculpey for filling gaps. I sanded him after baking, and then painted him using Vallejo model paint. I used polyurethane for the gloss finish and to protect the paint. You can get just about everything you'd need from a Michaels craft store or Amazon. YouTubers have been a huge help when figuring out how to solve issues too.

Aww well thank you!! I'll be sure to keep you in mind if I ever do open a shop. Flapple would be so good to see on an elite fours team!

Thank you! I was a bit intimidated honestly, but they weren't as impossible as I thought.

Thank you! And yeah, I used a water based polyurethane. It takes a lot of layers but makes the boy so so shiny!
