The plastic inner ear support worked out super well! It doesn’t flop anymore but stays transparent. I’ll refine the embedded veins later. #sfx #practicalfx #silicone #3dprinting #sphynxcat - ThreadSky

I know I am supposed to be looking at the veins but though inner ear wrinkles near the base are UGH so good.

I don't blame you, this is so cool! It's so rewarding figuring out new things, and getting them working like this

Yeah it’s been a very challenging project. It feels extra good when it starts to come together

Means a lot! I always love seeing your silicone work

The Sphinx head is going to be so beautiful!!!!

taliruq.bsky.social•23 days ago

Soooo insanely cool. Very cool seeing the process of this, also very excited to see these completed… would love to get my hands on one to tattoo :)

reply

nazfx.com•23 days ago

I’d be so keen to get it tattooed. Does it last well in the silicone?

reply

taliruq.bsky.social•23 days ago

I believe it would!! Fake skin to practice tattoos is made of silicone, and I’ve been seeing more fun things like silicone skulls/ducks/dolls/etc for people to tat for decorative purposes so I can only assume this would work as well :)

reply

nazfx.com•23 days ago

👀 this would look so sick

reply

taliruq.bsky.social•23 days ago

When you’ve finished these masks it would be insanely cool to collab on something like this.. or would be more than happy to purchase my own to tat!!

reply

nazfx.com•23 days ago

I’ll def keep that in mind!

reply

assasinmonkey.bsky.social•22 days ago

Omg, you're getting one of my favorite things to learn painting, the subsurface scattering. But in physical form and you're even getting in details like veins?!

So cool to seeee

reply

nazfx.com•22 days ago

Yesssss I'll post a vid of it with sunlight behind it tomorrow. I really wanted to make sure the ears were thin enough to have the effect. Hopefully on the final the veins will be more subtle and appear when the light hits

reply

assasinmonkey.bsky.social•22 days ago

Oh heck yea! I love it when you're experimenting or refining fresh ideas like this

reply

nazfx.com•22 days ago

Ty! It's so nice to be able to go all out on personal projects :D

reply

assasinmonkey.bsky.social•22 days ago

And I so appreciate you're sharing it!

It still always gives me that certain happy curiosity or exploration energy. Seeing you pushing your resources and knowledge to new levels, sometimes pioneering almost.

I'm also just happy for you, to also be able to create your big personal projects.

reply

nazfx.com•22 days ago

It’s honestly my dream to be able to take more time off regularly for personal work. Moving towards that eventually 🙏

reply

That is extremely cool lookin 👀

reply

suzu-cat.bsky.social•20 days ago

In addition to the light diffusion and veins, can we just appreciate the ANATOMICAL ACCURACY of that middle ear!??

reply

nazfx.com•20 days ago

Thankyou for noticing 😭

reply

suzu-cat.bsky.social•20 days ago

You're so welcome!!! It's not just ear and hole; it's got the bits! (Said by someone who doesn't know words for ear bits)
