True Summer

Hello !
I'm sorry I left you without news for so long (I started this update a week ago..) Things are calming down now that exhibitions season is over. I'll be in slow work for almost two months from now and I would have more time for you. Here are the pix of the Bloated Woman and the Sand bat club I promised.
I hope you can feel the madness ! I try to put my passion to make "real" props in the hope it will make the rpg experience more immersive. I really believe objects can have a key role in the game. That's why I try to make my best for people to feel what it means to have an interaction with the weirdness.
I was born in a family that worship certain objets so it's comes as natural to me. When I create those props, I'm trying to create statues of twisted worship, undeniably produced by human art of course but likely to be credited by the cultists who are supposed to craft it with the power of a divine or demonic entity.
I was wrong to imagined for so long that I could produce all of those props alone- I have this terrible tendency not to ask for help. Since I was little, I used to make my own weird stuffs in my own corner, believing I could do everything by myself...and then Kickstarters happened and I met you guys. You pulled me out of my comfort zone!I'm sorry I didn't react properly to your encouragements : Instead of thinking of a concret strategy, I panicked, and I fell back to my old habits : trying to do everything alone. But really, I prefer art when it is a collective matter in a sense that each creator takes its place in the circle, gives and uses the energy of the researches of the other. But I may have had trust issues that made difficult to ask others for help.
That being said, I'm thinking my current projects in a different way, including other skills and other people in the process.
According to my recent work sessions and my whole schedule, I think I will be able to cast and paint 5 pieces per months. I plan to finish all the orders by the end of the year. I only hope I won't have to get a third job to keep up with my financial needs because everything is changing so fast with the inflation. But even so I will be able to significantly advance the project in the meantime.
You have a lovely summer.

Hey !
I hope you're all doing ok ;)
I've caught covid in March with my whole family.
After a couple of days with high fever I was totally wiped out for almost three weeks and my moral was pretty low. I don't know if it's a symptom of the disease but the lack of moral was the worst aspect of the illness.
Anyhow, I regain slowly my strengh and enthousisam and I would say I'm at 80% percent of my normal game !
I had a real joy when I printed the Bloated Woman and the Sand bat this week. As ever, my sculptures are full of undercuts so I had to gently cut the mould to help remove all the pieces.
I liked to take over the drawing of the pieces.
I will share with you a pic when those two will be painted.
I look forward painting the Bloated woman with all the soft and pearly colors.I will try to print and paint 4 pieces per week from now.
My schedule has been delayed also with the audience I work with. After the pandermic, there is so much to rebuilt with already fragile populations. I'm sure we will get through this even if it takes time to recreate social bonds.
I also dedicate a part of time to my "Smashup" paintings for which I already had two orders. I do ned indeed to find new financial ressources to survive.
That's it for today.
Take care everyone !
best,
Delphes

We're in January.
I don't know for you but for me, the relationship to time has changed a loooot with the pandemic. 2021 was quite alike 2020, and this begining of the year appointements are postoned again because of the Omicron. Despite this strange mood, It's still time to wish everybody a happy new year. I hope you'll have a lot of fun in 2022.
Look a the marvallous tokens I received from Campaing Coins ! It was the first token I've ever made and the result is very cool I think.
It's a real memorabilla coin.
.. I know my schedule for this first semester: January - March : Idol of Cthulhu project's and coordination of our new artistic project in our neighborood ( which funds working time to complete kickstarters). Avril-June : Australia-Shanghai sculptures and artistic animations in our neighborood.
I'll try to make a first piece of the Sand bat sculpture though becase I'm looking forward to see how it looks whith the whole patina. The prototype was in clay so I couldn't experimented the true feeling of painting on the plaster, which is another pleasure..
Best wishes to all of you,
Delphes

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful summer !
Paper props for Australia and Shanghai are on production.
I received the Tatttoos: here's a pic; I hope you would like them.
The artwork for the coin is done and completed with the work of Campaign Coin's team; I redraw some details in line art to improve the design. Now, Campaing coins is making the mould, then they'll send me samples. I'll send you some images as soon as receive the coins.
My printer is back, so I'll get the Expedition's portraits this week..and I wait for my printer online to send the image printed on canvas then I can start to paint the Carlyle Expedition portrait for the Deluxe Set of props.. you'll get some pics as well.
Then now, I am able to start the sculptures production !
In sanity,
Delphes
