I found this guy in a museum in Liverpool, but lack the motivation and clay to recreate him

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 4 days ago

I love his little face

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 8 points 4 days ago

I've seen this guy in the original Mulan.

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago

The only Mulan, LBH. ๐Ÿฅฒ

[-] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

That would make Keith Brymer Jones cry. "It's just beautiful... it's your best work so far... honestly..." (incoherent sobbing).

[-] Zombie@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago

I can't unsee the Mater Bater [NSFW?] in his little face

[-] tyler@programming.dev 48 points 5 days ago

They did a fantastic job

You can get one in Mexico City museum of anthropology.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 18 points 5 days ago

Seriously though, if their gift shop doesnโ€™t have a replica coffee mug, they are missing out.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Could probably get one right in the museum too if I can run fast enough

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 days ago

Looks good, except for the teeth over the lips part.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 14 points 4 days ago

You wouldn't steal a car

[-] MattW03@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

The object was made with some shitty $0 clay, so, close enough.

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

Aimed to duplicate a cup of eternal youth, ends up making an equally awesome bag of holding.

Dwayne Dibbley!!! I feel so seen, where my orthodontia survivors at?

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Not saying i don't like seeing this post, but i have to say i'm a bit surprised a post that doesn't really fit in this comm also got 3-5x more upvotes than the stuff usually posted here.

This one makes me so happy! https://dia.org/collection/dog/41200 The people of colima loved their little dog friends more than two thousand years ago

Never thought to recreate. But I would love a little post card print of doggo

[-] alternategait@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I have several pictures of nearly identical derpy dogs taken at various museums. It looks a lot like my dog-in-law.

YES! My dog in law looks like the ceramic ones too. Through a series of events, dog in law came to live with us. Heโ€™s a good friend. That dog figurine reminds me he comes from a long line of good friends.

"How could ancient man have possibly possessed the technology to create such a masterpiece?"

[-] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 days ago

and that's how you steal from mexico city museum of anthropology under everyone's nose... ๐Ÿ˜†

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago

I do wonder, if you swapped these, how long would it take people to notice.

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

It's not The Louvre, though...

[-] NastyNative@mander.xyz 4 points 4 days ago

Thats a hell of a 1st attempt!

[-] gustavodinosaurio@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

I love that museum! But only the part with the ancient sculptures, not the creepy life sized dioramas.

[-] ArchsageRamases@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Looks about the same ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Derp statue goes Stephen

[-] belunos@lemmus.org 5 points 4 days ago

I support this level of fuck-it-otry

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

"fuck-it-otry"?

Maybe -ot and it'll flow better without that extra syllable?

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Nice job ~~op~~ swag 900, but the teeth are supposed to stick behind the upper lip.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Stuff it with paper or something until it dries, to keep the form?

Wait, they did. And it still fell together?

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago

I'm betting the original clay has more particulate to fortify tensile strength and stabilize vertical reach, whereas the facsimile is "$2 clay" and largely polymer-thickened mud. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[-] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Now I want one too.

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 days ago

Is this really a story about Intellectual Property rights? Did Cory Doctorow consult!?

Also I need the file. To reprint the monster, bring me the file dammit

[-] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

Micro$haft's free 3D Builder can help you whip that up in a couple hours, tops. ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿผ

[-] SirW00talot@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

That's one of the phases of the Smithy boss fight
