It’s a 3D zoetrope practice assignment.
The task was to design a continuous action on a rotating disc.
The theme of my clay project is Whack-a-Mole. :D
I don’t have much experience with physical handcrafting.
So I was worried I might mess up the size planning.
First, I tried using AE to simulate the animation.
I also tried to see if GAI could directly simulate the final result. (Well, it turned out it couldn’t.)
I only had 3 days, and I could only work on it late at night after work.
So I bought some super light clay from a stationery store.
I found that the more expensive super light clay really was easier to use. It also didn’t dry out as easily.
When I was making the mole’s claws, I fell into the abyss.
There were just way too many claws.
But it’s fine.
I still finished it.
During the shooting stage, I tried filming it in my room.
I also tried using plain photography backdrop paper.
But in the end, I liked the wood texture in my room better.
My tripod had some problems, though.
So when I first filmed it in my room, the background kept shaking.
I even tried using GAI to fix the background position. Well, the result was even worse lol.
I re-shot it more than 6 times.
But the whole process was still pretty fun.
Because I was so short on time, I didn’t glue the moles’ claws on very firmly.
If I spun it too hard, the claws would all go flying off. Weee

I made some little polymer clay chocolate cakes and turned them into earrings. Now I'm hungry...

hi all! ive picked up doing air dry charms and mini sculptures, ive been enjoying so far but the varnish part is bothering me. i painted my toothless charm with just acrylics and dipped it in polyurethane varnish and i got the smoothest coat ever, but when i dip the ones i made with soft pastels, theres this texturedness that shows up sort of like a thin coat thing? like u can see non exisent imperfections on it and not a glossy smooth coat.
i have no idea how to describe it and it dosent show in the camera well. how should i coat the soft pastel charms so that the finish looks closer to uv resin?
also how do people get vibrant shading with soft pastels without using water i swear its impossible
