This half finished personal project one off custom

This half finished personal project one off custom Draffi dragon has been sitting on my desk for months... I feel like if I dont finish it before the end of the year it'll never get finished. Or should I just add eyes and sell it as is I wonder 🤔😅 cos maybe im just trying to over complicate it for the sake of it.

A lot can happen in 17 days though I definitely getting too old for this pace hahaha. But I really wanted to work hard for SMVFF II! Im so thankful for this bilateral comics community event ❤ cos I was so sad when SGCC was (understandably) cancelled 😭.

I will doing a live stream (something I rarely agree to do) Sat 5th December 1-2pm sg time. I'd love if you could join me 😊 (though I know there are countless other fab online events happen this weekend 😅). I will admit im super nervous about live streaming but I know im in good hands with SMVFF ❤.

I will hopefully be dropping exclusives/launch pieces via the FB groups Singapore or MY (Malaysia) Comics Community groups later this week as well as a more general SG/Malaysia only delivery listings on my eshop during the event. Then I'll open it up to everyone once the event it over. So it's a fairly big drop for me. I'll be giving more details soon, so really do keep an eye out!

Knotanxi are the only pieces im still uncertain about, it'll all come down to if I can get that knot to glue place but I can't really try until I've vanished it 😅. I totally forgot to test out a blank. But I'll know soon!

Trisheepi wip, first time airbrush tests & a bit a

Trisheepi wip, first time airbrush tests & a bit about my difficult past. Did you know that farmers (smit) mark sheep mostly for identification & organisation? In general farmers choose their own system of markings and can really vary in style from a simple dot or sometimes can be numbers/letters etc.

Trisheepi is a piece all about identity & breaking free of the overly simplified categorise/labels we give each other/ourselves when we're actually all quite complex creatures. That is why for the first main colour design I thought this spray mark was perfect... plus this is how I remember sheep marks from my UK hometown, Skipton (that translates to "sheep town").

I love/identify with Yorkshire/Skipton and consider it my “hometown” as my family live there even though I only lived there 3 years myself 😅. But my relationship as a minority that moved from HK to the UK at the tender age of 16 in the 90s was very complicated & painful. It’s when I learnt about how damaging labels & bullying could be. The scars run deep even now over 2 decades later. It’s only as an adult that I can articulate the trauma of ths bullying & racism I faced then and can now openly reject the categories & labels that others try to place on me. This piece is cathartic because im strong enough now to know who I am and what I want to be and to love a place that at one point may not have loved me.

I've only used an airbrush once before when I was in highschool! Its been a mad crash course trying relearn! Last photos shows the reality of real learning 🤣! The portable airbrush worked better than I expected but as I suspected I dont like it as much as brush painting. It's a right pain in the butt to change colours & clean! I can't see myself using it often. But I bought it because I haaaaaad to see this spray sheep mark idea through! I will admit it was scary spraying over a piece I spent so long on with a new skill I wasn't confident with 🤣... but im super happy how it turned out, purposefully imperfect!

An extremely small number of Trisheepis will be launched during the online SMVFF II event 5-6th, more details soon!

Is that the the first layer of some metallic paint on a Kattessy!? Hella yah it is! First paint layers are always a moment of "believe" cos it always takes a few layers for some flats by brush to look even 😅. Metallics are always a pain to brush paint but worth it in the end.

Working on these exclusives for the SMVFF II online event next week 😁. More details soon.

Snippet of Trisheepi detail painting in real time.

Snippet of Trisheepi detail painting in real time. Was challenging cos the effect is so subtle that the fresh paint is the same colour as the lighter paint under and I can only see what the line looks like once its dried a little 😭. Fyi for people that don't use acrylic, its dries darker. Acrylic still isn't a paint I feel that comfortable with but glad I was able to do this line work with a 20/0 size brush 😅.

Only starting with 3 of this colour way (plus one AP for myself) so I just about managed to finish the details of them all today. More details of the larch at SMVFF event soon =)

I learnt a brilliant new word this week... scumbli

I learnt a brilliant new word this week... scumbling. It's so fun to say out load 😁! I decided I need to up my acrylic techniques since basically all I do is very flat graphic paint work which isn't exactly utilising the diversity of the medium! I need to stop treating acrylic as a means to an end and start exploring it just like I do other materials.

I wanted to have a much more expressisive and painterly feel to Knotanxi so I thought well its an anxiety bunny, it felt right to feel totally uncomfortably anxious while painting them by learning something new 🤣!

So used a combo of scumbling, dry brush & stippling and purposefully made it messy rather than perfect blends. I kindda liked the idea of a hot mess 😅!

Quick video of the first pass. I did work on it a lot more off camera. Im nearly finished painting the very small batch hopefully there will be photos soon 😊.

Placed like this by happenstance, I imaged a whole story of all the unpainted Knotanxis flooding the only painted with all sort of questions about what it was like to be colourful, chosen and when they'll be next. And the painted one being all anxious & flustered about being in the spotlight light 😅. It is an anxiety bunny after all! Lolz I have a very active imagination 😁

Sneaky peak of my tester piece. More soon.

It's not been since my teen warhammer painting days since I've utilised dry brushing modeling technique until now 😅. Its amazing what you can retain for childhood!

I never played, but I use to paint my less art inclined friends warhammers. I occasionally bought my own but I'd feel awkward going into the shops alone as a girl back then... tbh even now I still get that feeling sometimes when I go to model shops but then I breath in and just walk into unapologetically cos dammit I need to buy stuff for work lolz 😅. hands up if you know what that feels like 🙋‍♀️

I spent a lot of yesterday trying to mix the perfect sheep fleece colour. It was surprisingly challenging to get this sightly dirty earthy off white just how I wanted it especially given that wool isn't really ever one colour.

While I love the colour I made, I woke up being very indecisive cos while this will definitely be the OG colour, I can't shake the excitement I feel about a possible black or gold fleece too! With very few trisheepi pieces primed and an ever shrinking time window, I will have to choose between production vs creative itch... the ultimate artist dilemma!

Things on sticks are always fun 😁! Im impressed I managed to get the trisheepi bodies on sticks cos they are heeeeeeeavy 😬 but the middle face connector was perfect centre of gravity... still needed to drill it though.

Classic that I just ran out of primer just shy of finishing & forgot to pick up more when I was at the shop the other day 😭. Thankfully I can still paint the rest while I wait for more primer to arrive.

So excited to paint the new sculpts 😊 but still locking down all the colour ways so it might be a design/experiment day as much as i wanna rush ahead. Can't skip steps 😅.

Singapore Comics Community (SSC) & MY Comics Community (MYCC) on fb are stepping up to fill the event void in a fab second joint community effort with SCC & MYCC Virtual Fan Festival II (SMVFF II). 5-6 dec 😊 link in bio

I enjoyed watching the last one earily this years si Im so honoured to have been invited to take part i this next one. More details to follow =). But hope I'll be dropping a very small number if exclusives & launching/previewing some of my new work (if I finish in time 🤞😅) as well as taking part on live streaming. Details to follow 🙏❤.

Me, Eugene & Myron did a very thorough test stream this evening. Really fab to chat too =). I think I got the hang of switching between my cameras. I dont normally have my a computer on my desk (just and old tablet for watching TV 😅). But maybe I should consider using my tablet pc there instead.

Anyway super excited about actually being part of an event this year but also got a lot of work ahead of me as I some how pull together some new work 😅 💪

My first airbrush 😊🎉 just picked up this portable one from @the_m_workshop

M workshop - I have it in 2 colours, white or black?
Me - black like my heart 😁🖤 (true story)

This airbrush is so extra "Jess" it even has a purple charing light! 🖤💜🤘

I have resisted getting an air brush for ages cos it's really not suitable to work with an one in my normal work area. I do however have a mini spray booth for priming & varnishing but its in another room (that I can only use when there isn't landary 😅). I also can't have a normal airbrush set up in there so I never bought one. But I saw this portable one for sale and I thought this would be perfect for suuuuuuper occasional use in my paint booth 😊. Definitely not gonna be using it regularly.

Yah yah I know there super nice air brushes out there but for my needs right now & for learning it's perfect. Maybe one day I'll have a fancy studio but for now im cool... but I do like brush painting so not really an issue.

Still im excited to give it a spin... ive only used an airbrush once as a teen in school... im sure I'll pick it up again but prob time to watch some YouTube vids 😅. I may have to wait until the laundry is dry (which in the current wet weather it isn't gonna be today 😭😭)... and im currently on a tight deadline so might not get much play time, but one of my new pieces is why I bought this cos I felt it would be the best way to achieve the idea I have in mind.

Anyway... yah for new toys 😊

After getting my business LoC renewed last week, I

After getting my business LoC renewed last week, I thought ok I'll ease myself back into projects again having stopped all production. One day & one message later i knew "ease in" was about to turn into "full steam" as ive agreed to join an online event in early Dec ❤🤞 (details to follow).

While I have a small amount of ready stock i was holding back for just such an occasion, i wanted to try to get a tiny number of exclusives and push to finally preview/launch my new sculpts to round off the year. It would be a personal achievement to see all of my 4 new sculpts together before the end of the year. I had a 3 week window so I've been panic casting & molding like a mad women for 4 days! I'm now at the dreaded sanding stage 😭😭😭

I may not finish any in time... but I will do my best. Gah only 2.5 weeks left... in toy time that's like 2mins.

Wow, I think this is the first time ive thought about planing for the end of this time bending year.

One day & one message later i knew "ease in" was about to turn into "full steam" as ive agreed to join an online event in early Dec ❤🤞 (details to follow). While I have a small amount of ready stock i was holding back for just such an occasion, i wanted to try to get a tiny number of exclusives and push to finally preview/launch my new sculpts to round off the year. It would be a personal achievement to see all of my 4 new sculpts together before the end of the year. I had a 3 week window so I've been panic casting & molding like a mad women for 4 days! I'm now at the dreaded sanding stage 😭😭😭 I may not finish any in time... but I will do my best. Gah only 2.5 weeks left... in toy time that's like 2mins. Wow, I think this is the first time ive thought about planing for the end of this time bending year. #designertoys #resincast #smoothon #smoothcast305 #kattessy #eemocloud #trisheepi #knotanxi" data-recalc-dims="1">

Trisheepi orginal polymerclay master vs casted wit

Trisheepi orginal polymerclay master vs casted with added fleece epoxy clay master vs final cast! 😊... and some throw back dev pics.

I first sketched trisheepi in dec last year 😱 and ive been working on this on & off all year! Can't believe I finally got it cast!

I think about my UK home town Skipton, North Yorkshire a lot around this time of year. And im sure many of you know by now Skipton translates to "Sheep Town" from old English. Ive always wanted to do a sheep toy design and hope to launch a few in early December for an online event first details to follow.

I made this piece to reflect my frustration that people have tried to categorise me my whole life be it racially or personality wise etc... but the truth is like everyone I am many things at once and no one thing defines me.

It was my intention to make different versions with different fleece types but I wasn't confident with epoxy clay when I dreamed up this versions idea last year... but I accepted my own challenge and feel really happy I pulled it off even if im still not that comfortable using epoxy clay. Maybe I'll do a fluffy one once this mold wears out 😊.

Thanks everyone that have cheered on this design for so long 🙏
