Another Ren faire outing If I were smart I would've put clips on my crown I made so it would actually stay on my head throughout the day...

Closeup of my makeup. I have a purple and light blue halo in the middle of my face with red spiky accents and red contacts

Me in my elf costume with a spiderweb staff, spider web wizard skirt, and a crown

More liquid latex prop making: I wanted to make a spidery staff for my Ren faire costume so I took a glowy orb, made a macrame rope hanger for it, and then covered the whole thing in liquid latex mixed with that Halloween spiderwebbing

Me holding a crooked staff with a glowing purple orb dangling from lots of spider webbing

The entrails I made by mixing small amounts of fake blood (clear glue and red+green food coloring) with liquid latex in thin sheets that I rolled up I soaked polyfill with the latex and also had red yarn for veins

I made a blood mage staff for my friend ✨ It's all latex mixed with fake blood and polyfill to make the entrail bits filled out more

A close-up of the staff, it has bloody latex stretching across two branches

The full view of the staff. There are entrails wrapped around the whole thing and black leather straps as grips

Another closeup but with me holding the staff

The teeth are getting extra gnarly after the potatoes oxidized

The same pumpkin but the potato teeth look rotted and gnarly from oxidization

The second day of the Ren faire, I didn't feel like painting my whole body purple again so I did more of a barbarian type of look

I had a dinosaur book as a kid that jumpscared me at the end with this Human/Troodon hybrid and I had to read it with him covered up cause it scared the shit out of me every time

A short intro that I made for the podcast, Hand on the Door. I mostly made it all in Blender, and then 2D animated the tentacles in Clip Studio. I hand-painted all the textures myself and drew over my models with Greasepencil to make it mesh a bit better with the 2D parts.

Love Blender until I'm spending hours to figure out why nothing's working, only to find out I had one very specific setting not checked

My friend had a green bean party where everyone had to bring a different green bean dish so I made a green bean can cake 🎂 (It's matcha flavored, not green bean flavored, for the record 💁‍♂️)

A tall cake made to look like a Costco can of Del Monte green beans. It's got a printed frosting sheet of the label around it and the top of the can is modeling chocolate

Felt like looking at old comics I've made throughout the years and it's taking me out that I made this little webcomic almost 15 years ago now 🫠 My style has changed so much jesus christ

A page from my old webcomic I had in my early 20's. Two people walk down an alley way and are talking (no speech bubbles cause my old lettering makes me want to die)

Going back into my 'learning about prehistoric times' mode, and it's so funny to me that this little guy was so confusing and alien-like, that for years, scientists had him completely flipped upside down

Hallucigenia, a Cambrian animal, that looks like an alien lifeform with a bunch of tentacle legs and spikes coming out of its back

*makes movie where a character experiences gender euphoria by being in another person's body and comes out as trans (and back in the 90's no less)* *makes movie where the main character keeps saying how much easier it would be to be a woman and basically becomes one by the end

I watched some James Baxter lectures and wanted to really push myself and try animating a horse (well, Ponyta). Turns out, shocking no one, it's really difficult!! Especially adding fire on top of everything 🫠

VAL🦴HAL @valhal.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

This is probably the longest animation I've tried so far. Animating goop is pretty fun, animating all those stripes was less so...

Back playing with makeup, maybe the solution to having hooded eyelids is to just do all your makeup on the lower lid 🤔

God I need Woke 2 to happen soon so I can dress like this again without feeling paranoid that I'm going to get Missourians in pickup trucks following me 🥴
