at one point i had the thought to print 1/3 versions of all of my bjd heads to get more real estate to do faceups. i gave up on the idea pretty quickly, but had already printed a few. found this half-finished mermaid head the other day & decided to see the project through.

i plopped her on a random 1/3 vinyl body i've had for years and wrapped it in fabric, and accidentally ended up liking the look -> am debating whether i should desing a humanoid body for this head and sew a multilayered, flowy kimono-thing.

her led is on in all the pictures, but most were taken on the balcony, where the ambient light renders it invisible. the last two i took inside with different camera settings to try and get the light to show up a bit. the eyes are reflective, so the led lights them up excellently.

Project Dragon was a game that was in development for 3 years only to be canceled weeks from its announcement and its entire art and development team laid off. The game (which would have been called 'Everhaven' upon release) was intended to be a multiplayer sandbox rpg taking inspiration from both Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda, with an art style similar to that of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which some of the team members also worked on along with Crash Bandicoot 4.

According to character design/illustrator Nicholas Kole "Our cancelled project of the last 3 years is officially, truly dead as of today (internal attempts to save it failed), and the embargo on the whole body of portfolio work has been lifted". This means that the only way the game has a chance of resuming development is by raising awareness and spreading the word of it's development. More info from Nicholas Kole and #BringBackProjectDragon Even if you're not interested in the game itself, you can find the concept art, animations, 3D models, music and all other completed pieces of work for the game being shared by the team at either of these links, and I think are worth checking out. Some mounts and NPCs

4 of the 5 playable starter races (5th being human of course)

Edit: the decision to cancel the game was made by Forte, a blockchain company that acquired Phoenix Labs last year, who later decided to cancel all other projects so that the studio could focus on Dauntless and Fae Farm, Phoenix Labs' other already established games, rather than take the risk with this new IP.

I advise against sending any sort of hate towards Forte or Phoenix Labs and instead recommend continuing to share love for Everhaven and what it could have been until they realize their mistake.
