Do you prefer indie toy makers or big brands?

    Oh hai! The 4th one is my absolute favorite; it's a whispy white gold/periwinkle/pearl marble and is ridiculously sparkly.

    For those potentially interested in a Kobold, here are some specs:

    Tip circumference is about 3" with a diameter of around 1".
    Max knot circumference is about 9 - 9.25" with a max diameter of about 3".
    Useable length of 5.5" with a total length of 7".

    Due to being hand molded he does have a few small divots and irregular textures. He also has a vertical seam on his hide that should not affect use but may require a little extra care when cleaning. I'm working to figure out how to eliminate this seam on future models.

    Sure sure. Currently gathering feedback on him; any ideas on potential sizing? I'm very much stumped on that right now.

    Perhaps try switching to a one-piece glove mold, to avoid any seams!

    I was thinking about that! It would use a lot less silicone than the block molds I've been doing...

    I would love to try any of them. Honestly I have a hard time tying my Knotted toys... and would like to find something that will fill without being so hard to keep tight... but the images are not showing up for me

    Gah, another person was having trouble with that! I think refreshing helped. However, when I get home this afternoon I'll upload them to imgur and put direct links. Hopefully that solves the problem. :(

    I wanted to try something a bit more humanoid, and as we were perusing through my old DnD monster manuals last evening my fiance' suggested a Doppelganger, so that's a thing now. >w<

    Was going to add some veiny textures, but for some reason the program kept crashing whenever I took it out of symmetry mode, and I feel like symmetrical veins on either side would look silly. ;0;

    I had a very specific shape in mind, i.e. broad and top heavy, but I am a little concerned with this one looking similar too other maker's models. Thoughts?

    Hey Squishy, I like your projects, always a fan of anything Xeno. Keep up the excellent work!

    It reminds me of BD Chance (just with the scales), so I arbitrarily picked values between a small and medium for your starter size.
    Circumference of Head (inches) 6.25
    Circumference of Medial Ring (inches) 5.25
    Circumference of Shaft (inches) 4.25
    Diameter of Head (inches) 2
    Diameter of Medial Ring (inches) 1.75
    Diameter of Shaft (inches) 1.33
    Total Length (inches) 10.5
    Usable Length (inches) 8.5

    The chart was from BD for ease of comparison.

    I really like this design, I think it looks a lot nicer than other human bases toys. I’d love to see this with a thicker girth, I’d totally buy one if it was about 10 inches around or bigger

    10" seems to be a circumference I hear a lot of people echoing... It may be a bit large for my scope right now, but I'd be willing to try. I may think of doing a large and medium version depending on interest.

    That feels like around the size I was thinking... I'll have to go back and look at chance and see how the proportions compare; I really don't want things to be too similar to others' toys.

    I understand that. There aren't many that are long and skinny though. I got a small chance to start with and after a couple sessions I already feel like he's just a warm up.
    I have not tried a knot yet, so I can not comment on them, and am unsure if I want to spend that much on something I'm not sure I will like...

    In the process of having a trial version of the Qilin printed! Hopefully will get to see how it went later today or early next week. A full size version may be coming up soon. *eeeee* :D

    We can hope! <3 The person who is printing for me has holiday plans though, so I'm not going to infringe on those.

    Miniature print was a success! Got a very nice quality 4.5" tall mini. Not sure if I'll be casting that one or not; let me know if you'd be interested in that adorable babu (pics to come later)!
    Final version of the full size Qilin should be a go for printing this coming week. :D

    [​IMG]

    It's kind of hard to calculate at this point, but approximate dimensions should be:
    Total length: 10.5”
    Insertable length: 8.5”
    Head diameter: 2.5” (7.85” circumf)
    Shaft diameter: 1.5” (4.7” circumf)
    Medial ring diameter: 2" (7" circumf)
