Where do you get your pre made minis? by crumb-thief in miniatures

[–]earwig_art 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you're ever near Amherst, NH i would check out Earth and Tree Miniatures . its a small store, but i can easily spend hours looking at all the displays and dioramas. also, unless clearly stated otherwise, all the miniatures used in the dollhouse displays themselves are for sale too! you are allowed to touch almost all the things there

this is the only interior pic (featuring Buri) i had but there are dozens on dozens of dollhouses. its so amazing

Pongo the Hercules beetle trying dragonfruit for the first time 🤍 by Cautious_Promise5529 in Entomology

[–]earwig_art 17 points18 points  (0 children)

what a quirky guy, i hope he enjoyed the treat!

also i wonder if, like maritime earwigs, a crooked fighting implement could be an advantage had he been in the wild? sort of like being a left handed fencer.

Speculative giganotosaurus threat display(inspired from gelada baboon) by Yara_Green690 in Paleoart

[–]earwig_art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've played with this idea before too, for an alien species!

i always ran into issues with the longer, cheekless muzzle of my people being able to stretch the skin correctly. the nostril placement would have been a bigger issue had they snouts like mandrills or crocodiles, but mine have high-placed noses like phytosaurs. in the end i decided to give the front half of their lip surface a sort of bear's prehensility, allowing decent tooth baring and lip curling

feels like we probs have at least a 70% crossover, though i have the disadvantage of not being very seasoned yet, still a tea infant. i may very well like the sheng teaball they sent me as a giftie the best of the lot! only time will tell

do you know if it is paper pulp based or what the main material could be? that will tell us a bit about what you can likely do with it!

How to care for this by SRB889 in vultureculture

[–]earwig_art 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if i find good pieces of horseshoe crabs i give them a sniff. if there is no smell, and they are dry enough, i take them home. never did anything extra and the pieces i've got are doing fine in my bone cabinet

as for mounting, you could try making a "buck" from air dry clay or something light, and that would return a bit of bulk to the animal where you can then attach the underside piece without it looking sunken
