Previous video is using epoxy resin. The downsides I've found with working w/it so far are the working AND curing time. I want to do really thin coats of resin, but there isn't a long working time and curing time is too long (24 hrs) = less control (see pic).
Will do UV resin tests later this week!

Had the tiara 3D modeled by the Dangerous Ladies 'cause I wasn't happy with how it was turning out w/foam and I was having trouble getting the model to be more 3D printer-friendly. We're using PLA because we don't have a resin printer (mostly for ventilation reasons), but doing tests w/resin coating

Playing more Expedition 33 tonight! Hoping I can blaze thru a lot of the story and exploration like I did last week. 🤞
Fun fact: I sneezed 3 times before I took this.

Internally screaming.
Fixed a section of the pipe and thought that was it, but it's looking like there's another leak coming from further in...like the water has been clinging to one of the pipes and eventually drips.

I AM SO EXCITED TO PLAY THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Here's a photo of her like 20 - 30 mins after that sting this morning. Corners of her eyes are swollen and itchy, same with her snoot. She got stung on the bottom of her lip and I had to yank it out. Not a severe reaction like the last (and first) time she got stung though!

I want to stream tonight...but I think I still need today off ;; I'm still coughing quite a bit and my sleep the last couple of days has been a little bad.
On top of everything, the vet and I are trying to figure out what's wrong with Peanut's platelet count.

Doing more modeling for the remaining crystals and I have a *slightly* better idea of what I'm doing in Blender, but if you ask me to explain my process...LMAO.
Some areas need to be a little more smoothed out though (mainly where it looks concave). Not happy with those, I kinda flubbed them.

Despite making changes/updates to this cosplay since Fanime 2024, Anila's been my pride and joy. I hope I can reach this level of passion in my next cosplay, or even above and beyond.

My dumb ass didn't realize that this paint was drying out quite a bit, so I'm salvaging as much as I can from it with water 💀 Here we go though, accountability/productivity/WIP stream!

I've finally been working on Shiva Ryne again and I'm...starting to feel a little less intimidated. ;; Planning to do a stream at 9 pm Mountain to paint some of the 3D printed pieces, and also for accountability/productivity. Please keep encouraging me to work on it LMAO

Took off work today since I'm pretty close on capping on PTO soon. It's time for more Expedition 33 though! Maybe Peanut will be cuddly with me during stream 😂

Sanding some of the pieces that will go on the bottom of the dress. Still have 14 more to print,all of which that also need to be 3D modeled first.
I bashed my head a lot trying to get Blender and Bambu to work nicely. Now my hands are cramping all night from all of the sanding. 🫠

I did this over on Twitter a while back, but I should do this here since I'm active here too:
Keeping track of my Shiva Ryne cosplay build! (I started this in 2022 - 2023 and had to put it off until...now)
I am also remaking some parts of the cosplay, but overall I'm not really far.

Hoping that making a decoy nest will deter the wasps away??? It's been a while since I've done a crafting stream, but I'll be crocheting one of these nests on stream tonight at 9 pm. Come chat with me as I get hooked!
