The creature

Pattern credit to @daftpatience. https://ko-fi.com/s/aa4705c02c The pattern is free, but there's no instructions and no seam allowances, so you gotta draw your own.

The pattern is based on an IKEA alien called "Aftonsparv" but I did not like sewing the curved seams of its face. I scrapped the piece (tore it in half in frustration) and crafted my own face piece pattern based on the shape of the finished back piece.

Also someone made a giant IKEA alien / aftonsparv which served as my guide for sewing the parts I did not understand https://youtu.be/lP3o5bCzkDc

hopefully I learn how to make small clothes for the creature, it's naked

This is a Zorua plush I made a gift for my sibling's 18th bday. I'm very proud of it, because it's my first plush project. It was about a week's worth of effort. It's entirely hand-sewn, which is why it took so long. The face details alone took me a whole day.

The fabric is sourced from old shirts. The grey fabric is nice and soft because it was the inside of a warm long-sleeve shirt (stretchy and very fuzzy).

I followed the given instructions very carefully.

I admit I wasn’t terribly familiar with the Pokemon Zorua when it made its way to the top of the pattern poll. But I was so glad it was sugg

Between the pattern and cholyknight's plush making basics ebook https://cholyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/plush-sewing-basics-ebook.pdf, I learned a LOT about plush making. It is so much work. It's absolutely magic when the plush comes together though.

I will never look at plushies the same way again.

#thing i made #pokemon zorua #handmade plush #so much dust on my desk afterwards #i keep examining my own stuffed animals and going “oh look there's a dart and oh there's these seams” gahhhh #technically didn't spend any money for this project specifically #but the cost was my time #the shirts I ruined #some tools and thread from my grandma's sewing stuff #polyfill bag we had #oh and my sanity #started this on impulse #and finished this on time #been on art block #so. crafting spree instead #thank you for reading #if you came this far #ok stop talking carrot

behold! sockeye salmon

thingofthemoment

I’ve seen some people in the tags and whatnot requesting a pattern so I have made you a janky one on MS paint based on this salmon:

Each dot is a bead and these two sides are each side of the fish. When there’s only a thingy on one side it means you only make it once. The two green fins near the head of the fish are what helps it sit upright.

I’m struggling to explain the rest of the process in words so imma leave off here. Good luck and may your salmon be slammin.

i had Beads in Salmon Color and knew what i had to do......

carrot-horn

i did not have Beads in Salmon Color but made one with what beads i did have....

#still super cute #and jumpstarted an exploration into the world of beading #tip 1. use at least 4 ft. of thin wire or string #tip 2. make sure your small beads have holes big enough to fit more than one wire #tip 3. search for Perlenwunderwesen #esp their goldfish tutorial that one's easy

LUMATA ALIEN MASTERPOST 💫 (minus humans lol) I realized that I finally have detailed references for all my aliens so I figured id compile them all together! I DO plan on making an extant website for everything about this comic so keep an eye out for that but for now my blog will be its home!!!

Allow me to introduce y’all to my speculative bio project I’ve been cooking for some years. These are Pollivens, a sentient, semi-aquatic alien species.

Art Fight attack on @jayrockin !!!! The Art Fight website doesn't support audio and made me crunch my animation way down so here's the high quality audio version with EXTRAS!

Ever since they mentioned that Bip moves like 2D cutout character I knew I had to rig and animate them and Art Fight was the perfect excuse to do just that!

The audio is edited by @dracogriff and I decided to animate along to it here since this the closest to a voiceclaim Bip has. I added the subtitles in as similar a way as I could to how it's done in the comics (which is a good thing since I only just found out Art Fight doesn't do audio anyway.)

A lil low quality BTS of the rig and how it moves and functions under the cut! I didn't label any bones because this was a quick one-man project and... too lazy. But you get a good idea of what does what just from me messin with it.

#others' art #ok I gotta share how cool this is #and made in Moho!!#i really like moho ok #also I have been LOOKING for that audio!

Inspired by Alphonse Mucha's art nouveau illustrations. Turned out to be pretty challenging, but I'm very pleased with how it came out in the end ^^

Info about the webcomic I’ve been working on:

Since I never really explained it or shown much of it

What is it about? (short)

Abyssal Alien is about an Alien stranded in Earth's deep sea, having to travel through all deep sea zones to collect her missing ship parts in order to return home.

When will it release?

As of writing this I estimate that the first 6 chapters will be finished by mid May/June. I’m only comfortable with posting the chapters once all within one part are completed to avoid long pauses between chapters.

There will be 6 parts. Part 1 will take place in the abyssal plains. It will contain 6 chapters with a total of 164 pages (188 pages including the cover and bonus art etc).

Other important notes:

I’m not making this comic alone, @les-bane-bea is my color assistant and dialog editor, taking a lot of workload off my hands making the whole comic process faster.

DEEP SEA :D

Every deep sea animal shown in the comic is real and shown in their natural depth range and or habitat (not 100% perfect but I tried my best). No environments are made up either and are all based on reality, only adding a sci-fi twist to some :>

The only things that won't be acurate are the sizes of the animals and ocean they're located in (an animal from the Pacific might be next to one from the Atlantic) Making sure all of that is acurate to real life is honestly too annoying and time consuming to reasearch and I feel that it would restrict my creativity. I still put more love and care into it than all of the deep sea misinformation slop videos I see circling around online.

Stuff deep sea enthusiasts can look forward too:

Sea pigs, big fin squid, whale fall, hydrothermal vents, brine pools and so much more. All the deep sea icons will be here plus more niche/unknown stuff. (not everything will appear in the first part of course)

Knowledge about the deep sea and how life works down there will definitely pay off ;)

I try not to post too much from the comic project but I have to share those panels about an Alien flying through a house that I’ve been planning for months. I literally made a 3d model for one panel
