More progress on the metal paint #maskmaking #masks #art

Vantastrid painting a silver metal paint on one of her masks.

Trying out a metal paint system #masks #art #artprocess

A mask looking upwards while sitting on a desk. The mask is covered in black primer with vantastrid’s name in the background. Various things are scattered on the workbench like sandpaper. The mask has flowing lines on it and a space for the wearer’s mouth to show through.

Anyone got any tips for mastering the art of not giving a fuck? 👀

Mythic Metal, or Midnight Mercury? 😩 #maskmaking #masks #artprocess #3Dsculpt

3D print of vantastrid’s 3D sculpted mask. The mask is upside down on a 3D printer bed.

Photo of vantastrid sanding the mask after a coat of primer.

A photo of vantastrid wiping the mask with graphite to give that metal look.

Vantastrid shows two masks she post processed, one with a mythic metal look, and one with a midnight mercury look.

In progress shot of me blocking in this clay for the silicone pour later #maskmaking #art #moldmaking

Vantastrid’s work in progress on the clay block in for her mask mold. You can see the top shell of the mold to the left side. The camera view is over the shoulder so you can see the subject matter and her hands and tools.

A little process video on plastic welding together pieces of my mold I designed and printed. #maskmaking #masks #art

Astrid @vantastrid.bsky.social · 5mo ago

I realized the one I made had too little space inside for silicone so I had to redesign and reprint. After post processing it will be ready for a pour #maskmaking #masks #art

The picture shows 3 objects, vantastrid’s Observer mask on the bottom, and above is two 3D printed matrix molds. The one on the left is vantastrid’s first attempt which left too little space for silicone so she redesigned it and the mold on the right is the result which is much larger.

Designed a mold in 3D for my mask and my brain is fried 💀 going to print it out and see what happens

Amos the Angelic 👼 #art #ink #darkfantasy

Art piece of Amos the Angelic by Vantastrid. The character is depicted in ink and looks inhuman in appearance. Pointed ears, horns that flow towards the back of the head, Amos appears demonic rather than Angelic, in opposition of what his name suggests.

Almost ready to mold the Observer mask #art #masks

Vantastrid showing progress on her observer mask, almost ready to mold. 2 picture panels on the bottom are close ups of the mask showing detail around the eyes, nose, lips. The top picture is her holding up the mask over her face, looking down at the camera.

Did the first sanding pass on my Observer mask resin print, then rinsed it off so I could see under the dust. So excited 😁

Vantastrid’s 3D sculpted mask, The Observer, freshly rinsed off after a first pass of sanding. The mask has 8 eerie eyes to peer through.

Sneak peek #WIP #art

A sneak peek of vantastrid’s work in progress ink art. It shows the bottom half of someone’s face but they don’t look human, more alien in appearance.

No Kings No Tyrants No Fascists #art #darkart

Art of a dark figure wearing a cloak to conceal their snake-like appearance under their garb. They have three upside down stars on their cloak resembling a certain party, a missing heart, a disingenuous cross at their neck, their outstretched left hand, and their right hand making a gesture that could resemble many things. A red light shines down from above, and a halo appears behind them as they try to appear holy.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Making a sanding box to contain all the resin dust I don’t want in the air

Vantastrid holding out her gloves arm towards a bin to gauge where to make the arm holes

Plastic cut in a pizza fashion to make a hole in the bin

Vantastrid holding up her gloved hands inside the bin, making a heart shape

Vantastrid stretching her hand out in the bin to test mobility inside, looking good!

Astrid @vantastrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

First non test print did not go well, but then made some adjustments (probably overboard lol), and the second one came out great! Now I have to clean this up and get it ready to mold. #art #3Dsculpt #3Dprint

Vantastrid’s first resin mask print resulted in failure as the base was separating from the build plate.

Astrid @vantastrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Looks like test print turned out okay, I’m a dummy for not washing them good enough lol but now I know. One step closer to starting a mask print 🎭

Test resin print from vantastrid’s new machine.

Guys I am SCARED 😂 I’ve never used a resin printer before, here we go

Plastic welded together. Not perfect, but functional! ✨ Now I can finish setting up

Two halves of vantastrid’s 3D printed ventilation adapter plastic welded together. Circular input to rectangular output.

Astrid @vantastrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

It fits ✨ now I must join the pieces together

Astrid @vantastrid.bsky.social · 7mo ago

I got a resin printer so I can make more detailed molds and casts. Currently printing a vent adapter for it on my filament printer 🫡 safety first

“Ever wonder what it’s like to drown?” A villain so good, I still think about years later. #art #silco #arcane #fanart

A close up look of a painting of Silco by vantastrid. His back is facing us, while he looks to the left side. Blue surrounds him while a contrasting red lines his figure and seems to emanate from within him.

Work in Progress- wait, is this why I like long pointy noses? #art #villain

A snapshot of a work in progress by vantastrid. It shows the procreate UI, blues and reds, and a figure off screen that looks like it may be Silco from Arcane.

I think he just wants to talk 🔪 #darkart #horror

Vantastrid’s artwork of a demonic looking creature turning its head towards the viewer and locking eyes. The background is a shade of red, the creature is darker, with horns sticking out of its eyes and forehead, spikes riddling the rest of its head and spine. His mouth is open, unable to close his lips, and baring his teeth.

I upgraded my iPad so performance is better for sculpting, but I decided to try a glass matte screen protector instead of my old one and that was a mistake 🫠 I don’t draw super fast and because there is a gap between the pen and screen, it does dumb wiggly lines sometimes.

She gazes at her hand, an all-seeing eye refracting the vision of blood. Unable to remember where it came from, or whose blood it belongs to, all she can do is stare as she recalls the echoes of someone’s voice screaming “monster”. #darkart #horror #monster

A dark ink art by vantastrid. A female creature, clad in green, looks at the blood on her hand located over the pupil of a floating eye. She looks strange and alien with her long pointed nose and has almost an armor plate look to the top of her head.

Monster Banshee, if her shrill voice doesn’t get you, her entangling hair will. #darkart #inkart #horror

An ink art of a banshee in monster form created by vantastrid. She’s screaming with her mouth open, has horns, pointed ears, red eyes, flowing hair, and a distorted inhuman body.

Sneaky peek #darkart

Vantastrid shows a WIP of her black and white ink drawing, the only thing really distinguishable is a hand toward the top of the image and a hip in the middle, with Procreate’s UI on the left side.
