Queen Xenomorph Brass Knuckle Ring Debuts

My Queen Xenomorph Transforming Brass Knuckle Ring has fully matured; ready to lay her eggs!  Gracious hosts consider being a surrogate and share the gift of life!  Despite the taboo of interspecies mingling, I'm pleased to say that new palm piece (Queen Head) melds well with the original ring base.  Though I'm still entertaining dramatic modifications to this ring base, it almost feels as if they were designed simultaneously.

The steel finish also came out strong with all the extra textures and highlights.  I rock this xeno variant a lot more than the drone version, so I've experienced more wear time.  I appreciate the look of the Queen's head from many more angles than the Drone's head and I really enjoy its look displayed off my finger.  It's sleek profile atop keeps her unobtrusive, however the beefiness in the base can make long term wear challenging especially for the slender finger. 
  

 Here are set of Queens so cannibalism is guaranteed.  There can be only one bad Egg-Laying Mama on the block or hand, but don't let that deter you from getting one for each hand. 

Keep an eye out for some embedded xeno skull versions, a Tronned out version, and of the Warrior Variant!

It's been a bit challenging to capture strong images of this ring.  I find her far more appealing in person than the drone.  It was fun extracting this Queen from the various artist renderings online.  Thanks to them for the reference materials and the challenge of merging their vision into this piece.  Eventually, I'll bundle all three variants, but for now this Queen is available for Order at Etsy here;

Thanks for perusing my works.

Perfume or Photo Carrier?

 Wax has been fantastic in executing these whimsical pieces.  So I'm excited about this mediums potential in future products. 

So my beetle (old pipe reference) has indeed turned into a herculean task, so I'm taking a break by revisiting earlier projects. I'm still not satisfied with the Trojan Turtle's design in terms of sturdiness, however it has provided exciting design tangents. A turtle dragon has been a fun experiment that may lead to a larger version. Ultimately these experiments are revealing the resin's potentials and limitations. However, I still feel as if I'm observing fragments of deliberate design amongst a hot mess, glimpses here and there, as if I'm clumsily combining components because they are shiny. It's still quite early, so I am just naive enough to believe these concerted efforts will reveal all of the "fill-in-the-gaps to keep it moving" - motivated design decisions.

Shine on your crazy diamonds.  Shine on.

Inga the Ironbelly Dragon Joins the Family

Dragon number two, is a very distinct departure from the first dragon.  All that I've gleaned from # Uno, has been applied to # Dos.  Detail, asymmetry, texture, etc, etc.  Inga is a cold cast though, I've sgnificantly decreased the amount to aluminum powder due to viscosity issues & to preserve strength.  Two-Claw was a metallic fill because I saw little solution toaddressing distinct flashing seams.  Clean up meant no visible evidence with Two-Claw.  Inga  seams can be seen however their placement limits they invasive nature & the polished metallic finish is worth the compromise.  I hope you enjoy Inga as much as I do.

Two-Finger White Dragon Ring

Some more detailing, more contrast, right wing design decisions, most likely no chain & either a semi translucent pearl-ish color but more likely an opaque silver to avoid the loss of details.  Shall we see.

UPDATE:  2.14.2014.  I love the body and wing details, so I'll build on this double ring with a new head to compliment!!!

Why this Place?

A friend requested a glimpse into my head. This is an attempt to accommodate that request. I'll try to share the things that interest me somehow. I promise little, hope for much, and ask forgiveness from the start so that I may share most. As it is my intention to develop something different yet relevant, I demand your impressions and suggestions. Tear me down and build me up and just maybe we can create something truly special.
