# About me
I am artist TungstenWolf, known predominantly in the SolCal Steampunk scene.
My art is about form and function, but mostly fun. My work varies from utilizing found objects to specific "scratch" materials to produce my art. I draw influences from the steampunk aesthetic, as well as general science fiction and retro futuristic genres. I also sculpt in many materials, paint, installation art, as well as performance pieces. I consider part of what I do as being a prop maker with a certain criteria, making things functional, or making them with the convincing illusion that they are. My work shares a unique bond with the materials I put in and the process of creating pieces.
I am most noticeably recognized by my Steampunk Armor that I continue to keep upgrading.
Commissions are a 'case by case' basis.

hey did you use a cast to make your digivice? if so, is there any way i can buy a copy of your mold?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It will be $500!
Lol, just kidding. No, I actually used a digivice and made a sand cast, which is just making an impression in some special sand, then poured the liquified metal into it and letting it cool and there ya go. Even if I would send you a copy of the mold it would be destroyed because it is sand.
What are you up too? Maybe I can help some other way?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well that's my problem, i had every digivice from both season 1 and 2, but when i moved down south, the truck those boxes were in was in an accident and a lot of my collectibles were destroyed, among them... all my digi-collections. so i thought id try making them with a mold or something but i don't wanna drop 150 bucks on a perfectly good digivice on ebay only to destroy it while making the mold or something... idk if there is anything you can do to help me, but even the tiniest help would be greatly appreciated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well that is terrible! D:
Sorry to hear that your beloved collection among other things were lost.
I am more of a metal worker than I am at anything else really. So I am not sure how much I can help in getting replicas of digivices. I know that there are some people here that cast them out of resins and plastics and look pretty good but I would figure you would want one MADE FROM a REAL digivice. Especially since you have had real ones before you could probably tell the difference. I didn't harm in any way my digivice when making my metal one.
What exactly do you you want them made of? If you tell me the specifics of what you want I can help a whole lot better.

I'm just really trying not to spend like... 150 dollars on any of them, and all the ones for season 1 on ebay are 150 and up and most of them are from out of the country... and I ordered international once, kind of got screwed haha. so yeah if you don't mind parting with your D-3, i'll gladly pay you for it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well you are going to have to pay a decent amount to get something good. Sorry, but I am not willing to part with anything from my digimon collection. I just have the broken one for spare parts and stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
oh wow, thank you man! um ok, let's see.. well like you said i would like it molded after an actual digivice, the details and all. and to be honest, as long as it's solid i don't mind what its made of, plastic, resin, metal. i would prefer a belt clip on it, but that's cool if its not possible. i can do the paint jobs myself, its kind of what i do, so no worries about that. whatever you can do would be very appreciated and i don't mind paying for any materials that may be needed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm... Lets see...
Well, one way I can figure is to have a digivice of each season. Take them apart in three sections. The front plate, back plate, and the belt clip. From there a mold out of plaster or resin can be made of each impression (the electronic bits are off of them so it will be fine, they should pop off with ease). Pour some resin or acrylic in there and then fuse the pieces together. That should yield a good copy of them and be perfect with a little touching up. I cant offer my digivice on account I would lose my data and I am fond of my little Patamon and his accomplishments. I might have all the pieces of a season 2 I received broken somewhere though.

I understand that, man, I wouldn't have wanted to give up my Patamon (great minds ;]) or the Wormmon I had for my season 2. If you're not using the season 2 D-3, and are willing to part with it, i'll buy it from you. I can restart my collection there.

It's been so long since u posted bro! I can't wait! Also if you have any time you might wanna check out the AC hidden blades I made!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I have been busy and stuff. I took a look and they look really cool. I see you used drawer hinges and knife blades. Did you find a good method to lock the extended blade?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yah I used a pocketclip from a knife, bent it and put it were it could go through and under then knife and attached it to my thumb so i can control the whole blade with one hand.

Chill man, chill! I promise there will be some great things out by Halloween. Though give me some slack, I am playing a video game I have been waiting for a while and am caught up in it, also I am working with some friends on some projects so I am taking slow cautious steps. There will be some cool steampunk stuff and non-steampunk stuff that is cool too!
