I watched this with my son. He loves your channel. He's 5 and loves trying to make small dioramas. He messed up on something today and I reminded him how you took your mistakes in this one and turned around and that kept him going!
This literally made me tear up!!! I’m so happy I could help motivate someone to keep going!!! Tell him hello from MissMiniLife and keep up the good work!
The figure sculpting and coloring is really excellent. Also, great job on the big bubble camouflage, but I think the little internal bubbles add to the whole look, usually a flaw, but in this case a happy accident.
🥰🥰 Thank you! I’ve been trying to get better at sculpting so I’m really happy, the bubbles def have grown on me, at first I thought it was the end of the world 😂
I feel the same way! I love seeing how I can use war gaming and table top craft ideas in whatever I’m making. I just like anything creative actually. 😁😁😁😁
Its gorgeous!! I think the bubbles work really well in this scene - they look like something is bubbling up from below the mermaid, and they add a cool textural element. So it was an accident, but a HAPPY accident!!
The bubbles look like the water is alive, as the mermaid's movement would cause bubbles, as will many plants when disturbed. I think this is quite beautiful and I am glad you didn't give up
Try sealing the foam with modpodge that will seal the foam. Paint isn’t enough to stop the resin from reacting with the foam. Air is probable coming from the foam that caused the bubbles. Hope that helps
I love it! It turned out so great. I love the scales details, tail, her hair and her face! The trinkets was such a great idea. You are a gifted artist. I enjoy your work. I bet it’s even hotter with filming lights! I’m in NC, the humidity is awful. You weren’t even sweating! Thank you for posting!
No literally thank you for watching!! 😂 hopefully you get some humidity relief overthere! The one think about the heat here is at least it’s more like an oven than a sauna lol
Production quality and editing are tops, to say nothing of the impressive skill repertoire on display! The colors are particularly vivid considering the pigment content of liquitex
@@missminilife it's so much to do just to film all this, not to mention doing all of it, then making all edits and compositional choices, it shows that you've got chops and put in the work for sure! Keep it up~!
This looks great and the small bubbles make the water even more like water. The idea to cover up things which went wrong was great. It even looks more interesting with it than without, so it was kind of a happy resin accident?! 😉
I started out using Dr Crafty resin, and it's great, until a year later when it turns yellow. 😭 I recommend Total Boat resin. The reason why you got those huge bubbles is because of how much resin you poured in a single pour. Next time, pour it in layers. It'll make it less likely to overheat! Either way, I think it turned out absolutely fantastic!! Your sculpting is so good. I'm very jealous of your skills. 💙
Oooh 😯 I’m gonna try that resin! I didn’t know it could turn yellow later. I did pour it in layers but on the bottom layer I didn’t flame thrower the bubbles but in the top I did so there’s a line between them 😭. Thank you so much for the info and the recommendations though cause that helps a ton! 🥰🥰
FUTURE HAIR TIP: Try ELIMER GLUING THE STRANDS during styling phase. Make sure the strands are stiff and dry, fully cured before lowering into the medium. Since children's glue is water based, you'll have time to work with it. You can use some kind of clip to hold it in place while it dries to a stiffness. Maybe you can use hair gel too, but again, it's got to dry to a stiffness. (Experiment with a small sample of hair and resin for next time). Hot wax might work too, but it dries fast, so would only work if you want all of the hair together in one or two sections.
Ohhh 😮! But y’all have been having crazy weather in some places!! At least from what I saw on tiktok. I def think I could be worse there in some places at least. Also thank you and welcome back 🥰
Oh. my damn! This is amazing! I don't know what you were talking about the bubbles being a mistake. I'd imagine there would be bubbles in shallow water if your mermaid had just swum into the cave. That came out exactly like it was supposed to. Love it! Your sculpting is wonderful! Have you ever thought about doing the ocean scene from The Last Unicorn?
Love this mermaid! Been a fan of the channel for a while and I have noticed a slight Brooklyn accent I'm from near hells kitchen and grew up with that accent 😂 anyways the scale tool was so cool I gotta try this myself 😁
You clearly did very well in sculpture class. Making human characters seems to be a weak area for many miniatures. but not you. Excellent work, as always.
I love your videos and your energy. You're so cool. I thought the mermaid was a Barbie doll. I was so surprised that you made the entire thong from clay.
Have you seen the webcomic called "The Little Trashmaid?" Its kind of a modern take on 'The Little Mermaid,' a cute little mermaid living in a modern ocean, playing with and collecting human trash and being affected by the pollution. Its cute, but also sobering because our oceans really are in a bad way.
@@missminilife even more sobering is the realization that private citizens like you and me are not the cause, but the powers that be making the greediest possible decisions. I could go on and on about it....
For summer's hottest days, try princess braids. With your pretty face and lovely complexion, you can wear you hair natural and still be a total babe. I didn't get the notification, so I checked to make sure my sub is on "all." YT is too finicky.
