My submission to Relogic's Terraria's The Labor of Hallow's Eve event 2022 (
https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/the-labor-of-hallows-eve.114536/)
This Hallowed/Crystal Mimic was made with a wood treasure box as a base, adding a torque friction hinge so the lid stays in position, and sculpted details with Magic Sculpt/Apoxie two-part resin clay. After sanding and smoothing, it was painted with acrylic paint and varnished, the resin 'gem' accents were added after as a final touch.
The tongue is removable utilizing strong neodymium magnets in order to hold up the Trick-or-treat container and to allow the mimic to be closed to it's passive or defensive state
The Jack-O-Lantern featured in-game was recreated using just two-part clay and painted, but this time utilizing UV reactive paint to make the eyes 'glow'. It was hallowed out and used as a treat container for the mimic, with real sisal rope for the handle.
Inside the mimic's mouth is a cute 'easter egg' in the form of a Goodie Bag, an in-game loot bag containing various items, dropped from killed enemies only during the game's Halloween event. The orange string around the bag is real and not sculpted.

Spoiler Alert: I didn't win, wasn't runner-up, nor was I even showcased. My fault for thinking outside the box and being different, as I should have done the Pumpking, Splinterling, or Eye of Cthulhu like everyone else, but nevertheless I am proud for doing my own thing.
