Novelty is an artist's friend. As an art student, I started out like every other students--spoiling myself working with my familiar technique over and over again, fancy myself an seasoned artist.

I experienced hand-on casting for the first time in Fall Semester of 2020 with Lost-Metal Casting. This medium brought me out of my usualy digital working zone. I learnt to make my own homemade tools. I also learnt to work with the wax--a new material--and I learnt to allow mistake to stay on the wax pattern while working with the mistake to produce something truly organic instead of artifical.

Aakocra is a humanoid bird folks in Dungeons and Dragons. Aakocras, as a race, tend to like peace, live mainly in moutainous area; they prefer to spend all their time flying in the air and avoid conflict all together. I find these creatures very interesting--their flying ability and way-of-life fascinate me.
