the last major thing to sculpt on my praedius figurine is his hair, which i did not want to start so late last night after work, so i did his little dog bone necklace instead. i didn't even touch the red clay and everything is still tinged pink, so i think i'll have to do a lot of painting. 💅💅💅

praedius felt this emotion, specifically

thank you!! 2D or 3D, fabric folds are just so fun

the red clay gets on everything when i touch it, and especially likes getting into the grey, so i'll have to do a final cleanup before baking him as he is slowly turning pink. 💅

this pic shows more of my messy desk than i would like (it was 2am ok??) but the boy's got himself two arms and some ears now!

my roommates and i all still whisper this to each other constantly whenever the need arises (which is often)

a neopet🐀 @arttimo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

agree!! i want my parrot to be able to sink his little beak into some avocado, it's so beautifully green and good and it's not fair that it is also Bird Poison

at one point i decided i did not like the placement of the hand on the aluminum arm, so i removed it to reposition it, and it looked like this scary business (it's ok he is fine now)

closeups! praedius has a short little face for a gelert, and i feel like maybe here his muzzle is still a little long compared to the 3D model i did for him, but i'm pretty happy with the shape anyway so i won't mess with it. he'll have a sculpted nose but painted eyes.

i still gotta make a teeny little spyder to hang from the hand he doesn't yet have 🕷️ and another hand, i suppose

a neopet🐀 @arttimo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

thank you!! a praedius in the style of the anime figurines on my shelf is something i've always wanted, but didn't have the skills to make until now. he's a bit bigger than most of them (oops) but i think he'll still fit in well!

like he picked it up and wore it right off the floor

i feel like a common feature in my art is incorrect (but plausible?) exaggerated folds on all clothing nobody is folding laundry in this house

fortunately yes! the appeal was successful and now these leggies are work safe. (bsky better get ready to clutch its pearls when i post updated photos with TWO leggies tho)

a neopet🐀 @arttimo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

a bit miffed that this got auto labeled as "sexually suggestive" when it's literally a polymer clay pant leg over aluminum foil??? 😐 there's so much pant leg here, you'd have to work HARD to see those scandalous ankles. bsky get your shit together!!

a neopet🐀 @arttimo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

oh no i forgot to think of the children when sculpting this scandalous pant leg!! i appealed it. this vibecoded moderation shit is out of control. 🙄

I hope all your future fanart is fetish free!

I had someone once ask if they could do fan art for me but when I looked at their gallery it was ALL foot fetish stuff. when I said I did not want fetish art of my characters they got kind of offended, like ??? why are people normalizing this?

I’ve been digital sculpting successfully for a while, so I’m gonna try doing it irl!

just want to share this tiny polymer clay Praedius that @bubblepaints.bsky.social made for me sometime in the 2000s. he's been sitting on or near my desk for something like two decades. love this little dude.

I feel this way 1000% I wish bluesky would implement private accounts so I don't have to keep muting everyone's kink words when I see them in the neopets feed. my mute list is getting VERY long. why do I need to know these things about anyone, I don't even know their names. please.

I’ll never forget (haha?) the way my health teacher was standing watching the tv when I walked in for my next class, arms crossed with a hand over his mouth, very still and horrified. something was happening, indeed. (but math was more important)

070

a neopet🐀 @arttimo.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

on 9/11 I was in high school learning algebra 2 and someone came in the room and told the teacher that “something was happening” and that he should turn on the news. my teacher said no, because this was math class, not social studies. (I bet he felt a way about that later)

This is easily one of my favorite vrc worlds! I played for several hours the other night and found I could open all the locked doors from the wrong side, but my game crashed and I hadn’t saved. Serves me right, haha! 😅 I will return tonight and obey the doors this time!

the Sensory Rooms vrchat world by kewlbunny got a big update! I spent a TON of time in there when it was new. I played the update for almost two hours last night, but my game crashed and I hadn’t saved for most of it. u_u can’t wait to get off work and regain my lost progress!!

very very slowly, the vrchat gelerts are coming together

I make art for fun and nobody can stop me (except me, sometimes)

a neopet🐀 @arttimo.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I did! neopets was not there themselves but I got the desk mat and keychain tag with Nigel the chia on it, which meant I was able to get the free noil pin. :3 there was also a neopets meetup but it was scheduled kind of early so it was small (but still fun)

got a Friday badge for PAX West just so I could see neopets people and get neopets things!

my neopet can have an espresso martini, as a treat
