New pinned, since I can do that now. Hello! I'm Kieran and I am a biological sculptor, mostly making work for zoos, museums and aquariums!

That makes sense. Additionally I propose that if my washing machine doesn't operate on hard deadlines, neither should I. I have heaps of variables

Why are washing machine timers never accurate? Surely we have the technology

Fascinating...

Damn I didn't know you could get the pure stuff. Always wondered because the stuff that comes out of the leaf smells sus af but I love the "juice"

I've drastically wound back my commissions, though if this sculpt scaled to the correct size for the species and painted with Pacific Rattlesnake colours would be of interest I could do it, by all means drop me an email via [email protected]

This is a prairie rattlesnake, though I do think massies are really cute. Check out @lincolnsavi.bsky.social who made an awesome model of that species!
