This doll is designed and made by me fully from scratch. The coloration is one of a kind and won't be reproduced.
Resin, fabric fur, wire+plastic armature, feathers, primer, acrylic paint, varnish. Posable neck has plastic ball-and-socket armature inside and can be posed. Tail and wings are also posable and contain wire armature inside. Legs contain wire armature inside, so you can carefully and slightly move it to find perfect balance if you keep the doll on uneven surface.
A sacred beast and apex predator of the Ditovian forests. This creature spends most of its time hanging upside down from a branch, motionless. Moss and other plants grows on its shell effectively camouflaging it. When it senses that prey is near, by detecting exhaled carbon dioxide, it extends its proboscis that functions like a highly venomous harpoon. It fires this "harpoon" (radula tooth) into the prey which is incapacitated, if not outright killed, more or less immediately. Then the creature slowly makes its way down the tree to feed. If it is a large enough meal it won't have to feed again for a long time.
To the ditovians this is no ordinary animal, its close relationship to the divine evident by the spiral on its shell. The fact it has no bones and carries its own house are also noteworthy aspects in ditovian belief. The ongvorea is also one of the few land animals that ditovians are allowed to consume, however the meat can be deadly if not properly prepared and such feasts are saved for special occasions.

Lord Lamonte Hubert Urdagan is known among Tri-Kingdom nobility as the worst Lord in all of Vestur. At a rather young age he inherited the Urdagan Lordship after his father perished in a freak moose accident, and he has been an unwanted blemish on the Northern Kingdom ever since. Luckily, the Tri-Kingdom at large can comfortably pretend he does not exist, as Urdagan territory has little in the ways of population, roads, trade exports, or modern strategic value. There are viscounts with more sway in Tri-Kingdom politics than Lord Urdagan.
This is a reality he has accepted, and he attempts to make the best of it. He does his damnedest to care for his people with the means he has, and looks for silver linings where he can find them.
After all, if no one cares to watch you too closely, your time is your own.
every time i post this guy people in the tags are like “oh i know this animal! i love [x species of rodent]” NO. he is a fantasy beast of mine own creation. he is a ground dwelling insectivore and i think he can digging in the ground for tubers!!!

the celestial peryton vase! that blue will be very dark and the aurora should show up brightly 🤞🏼
after carving the perytons, I covered the piece in wax, then carved the aurora through the wax. I painted underglaze over the aurora to give it some bright green, and when I wiped the excess colour away. the wax protected everything underneath. that pottery technique is called mishima
kinda wish I’d recorded it as an actual video and not just a timelapse, it goes just a little too fast imo
Giluk. Specializes in pursuing prey in-between roots, rocks and other cavities.
Good reminder that the various creatures of this worldbuilding don't belong to any Earth taxon, as the world is not Earth. Despite possible similarities there are no mammals, reptiles, etc.
Creatures with crystal-like carapaces and scales which all fit together making the creature look like a cloudy whole crystal, aside from its head which it buries in the earth.
To further this effect the creature can also secret a solution that fills in the small gaps between the carapaces and scales making it look even more like an actual crystal.
