Happy belated new year! December got really chaotic for us between the holidays and everything else going on but we made it through! I’m hoping to try and get in a more regular posting schedule again! So to start here are some more kitty dragon pictures! #artdoll #cat #kitty #dragon #doll #plush

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

New week, new art doll! This galaxy kitty dragon was part of the first batch we made! They were so much fun to paint and put together, we have plans for even more in the new year! #artdoll #cat #kitty #dragon #ooak #doll #handmade #art #plush

One last set for our lovely silver dragon! I really enjoyed designing this head style, a much sharper and kind of angular dragon with shorter horns compared to the other new dragon head we worked on. I’ve got more plans in the works and more new art dolls to post! #artdoll #dragon #art #furry #ooak

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 01/11/2024

It’s my birthday and I’ve got some more pictures of our silver dragon to post! I especially like the cotton fabric we chose for the inside of his wings as it glows in the dark! #dragon #art #doll #artdoll #handmade #plushie #furryart

If you see this, post a dragon or few from your portfolio 🐉 Here’s a few dragons we’ve made~ #art #dragon #artdoll #plushie #handmade #furryart

Another new dragon! This head style is a little more angular than the previous style. We also chose to give this dragon more paw like feet~ They are fully poseable with a ball and socket armature, and feature a scaled felt belly as well as durable canvas wings and a hand painted head\feet.

One last photo set for our lovely fish boy here and then we’ll show another new dragon we’ve made recently. I’m so happy with how these dragons turned out! It was a lot of fun making the new body pattern and adjusting the wing pattern to be a little bit easier to work with.

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 25/09/2024

I’m trying to post more frequently, I’ve been neglecting social media for a while and now we’ve got a huge backlog of art dolls to post! But in the meantime here are a few more pictures of this dragon we’ve been calling ‘fish boy’ since he’s got a kind of watery theme.

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 24/09/2024

We’ve been cooking up a lot of fun new creatures! This is the first time showing one of our new dragons in all their glory! They have a ball/socket armature and feature a scaled felt belly as well as durable canvas wings and a hand painted head and feet. The head also has cute long felt ears!

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 16/04/2024

It was a fun process and I’ve been working on a few more heads in this same way! For these noodles I then hand paint the eyes and other little details before we finish it off with its faux fur body!

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 16/04/2024

Here is one of the new kitty noodles from the first batch we debuted at Anime Milwaukee and Evercon! For this little noodle I used Nomad and sculpted a basic cat shape(yay symmetry tool!) then printed it off and finished off the shape/texture with monster clay before molding to cast in resin!

I think we may have adopted a werewolf by mistake…Ms. Friday was very upset by something outside in the snow storm.

We are all set up for Anime Milwaukee! Come see us at table N2 up on the third floor! We’ve got lots of art dolls, plushies, prints, and more! #amke #animemilwaukee

These cuties will make their first appearance at our upcoming conventions! First Evercon and then Anime Milwaukee along with two other new art dolls!

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 01/02/2024

New art doll alert!!! I meant to post these WIPs yesterday but got side tracked. Here are some wonderful little kitties that I finished sculpting last month and molded a couple weeks ago. I’m quite pleased with how they’re turning out even if painting their eyes has been quite the challenge.

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 18/01/2024

Another day another snarl mask! I’m having a lot of fun working on these two color masks! If anyone has any suggested color combos I’d love to know! Printed on a Bambu P1S with a file from Flioink on Thingiverse.

Dapper Raptor Studios @dapperraptorst.bsky.social · 17/01/2024

Another WIP! Got a Bambu P1S printer so I’ve been playing around with multicolor printing. It’s been a blast even if painting the file took forever! We’ll have at least a few of these two color masks at upcoming cons! And I’m always open for customs - also hoping to get these on Etsy soon.

It’s WIP Wednesday and in an effort to get on a regular posting schedule here’s a couple pictures of a deer that I was working on before the holidays. The head and antlers were resin printed and then painted. Next up will be adding the armature and body for this great stag!
