hi!! I was just wondering how you did your fitted sheet robe thing for your Betty Cosplay? I'm trying to attempt my own and can't quite get it right lol
My terrible guide. I hope this helps. A size double elasticated base sheet is what I used but just go a size bigger then you think and it should fit. Use the elasticated corner to become sleeve cuffs and sew rhe yellow to the yellow. Then the cyan to the cyan the same way. I will make a YouTube video of Building her when I update her but I hope this helps for now. Good luck crafting ❣️
This is a growing source for finding plus size and curvy beauties for your faceclaims, moodboards, art references, or inspiration for your work!
DNI if you are racist, Zionist, transphobic, a feeder/feedee account, homophobic, biphobic, fatphobic, or have a negative attitude.
I tag nsfw content (which is not always necessarily ‘sexy’ content) as ‘nsfw.’ in the hopes tumblr won’t flag it.
FAQ
Why don’t you have xyz on your page?
I am open for submissions because I do have trouble finding plus size or chubby models. However, some models have problematic pasts that I feel uncomfortable displaying on my blog (ex. Trisha Paytas, Barbie Ferreira, etc.)
Where do you find these images?
Mostly Instagram, sometimes Pinterest. I try to give credit to each source so you can check out more of their photos on your own.
Xyz is not actually plus sized!
This is a place for chubby, curvy, and plus sized people. While you might not consider size 14 models to be fat, for example, they are considered plus sized by the fashion industry so it would be weird not to include them.
Models are the more public figures so they have more photographs available of them but still have body standards to maintain for the industry. However, if you do find someone with a different body type please send them in!
You’re promoting obesity!
Obese people deserve to see themselves represented instead of being hidden away in a cave somewhere you troll.
Also, I’m fat and can deadlift almost 200 pounds, what can you do?
Why do you have the ethnicity listed in the tags? Also you’re referring to their races.
Personally it makes it easier for me to look for someone who matches the description in my head if I can narrow it down rather than wading through images that don’t match at least one of my character’s physical characteristics. I understand why other blogs don’t do it because it feels weird when I do it but at the same time I’d rather find matching characteristics easier. And yes I am referring to their race but saying I’m categorizing them by ethnicity is a little bit better than saying I’m doing it by race.
Why can’t feeder/feedee accounts interact you?
I have no personal issue with NSFW accounts and I don’t believe in kink shaming, however I do not ask formal permission from the influencers I’m taking these pictures from so it feel me wrong to ‘let’ them be fetishized. I’m Asian so to me it feels like starting an Asian pride page and having interactions with people who fetishize Asians. If you disagree, I’m open to a (non confrontational) conversation.
Model of Hornet's bellhome from Hollow Knight: Silksong. Fully detailed, with complete interior.
This will be a very long one, so I'll put it under a cut.
I've already done a post that details most of the exterior in more detail; I've touched it up a bit and added the chimneys since then. Look at that post for a closer look at it.
But now it's finally time for the interior.
There's a "canon" part, the main one, which houses everything that you see in the game. The part on the right is the side that you don't see, so it was up to my imagination to decide what to put there. I ended up making a detailed tool workshop.
Let's look at the main part first:
(It doesn't show terribly well, but there's a miniature Silkfly in the desk's lantern. Same for the workshop lamp.)
The shelves in the back have all eight mementos on display. I didn't want to make them in the relative scale they have in the game art, since that would mean having them be half the size of Hornet's whole body, which is silly. So they're a bit smaller, and arranged with a variety of other domestic odds and ends, which are also modeled off of what you see in-game.
The bed doesn't look like it has any sort of sheets or anything in the game, more like a big framed cushion with a built-in pillow. So that's what I made.
It's stuffed with wool, so it's soft.
Now for the other part. When thinking of what to put there, the main idea I had was some place where Hornet could not only store but work on all of her tools. The desk looks more like it's for reading and writing than anything else, and we see no shelves for her to keep tools she's not actively using, so why not a full workshop?
I only ended up crafting around forty per cent of the total tools, and meant to do more, notably some throwing pin variants and Sting Shards. They were awkward to make in larger number, though, so I took up that space with other ones. May yet make them someday, who knows. I invite you to see how many tools you can make out from the selection here.
(There are a few odds and ends thrown in as well, partly to add to the feeling of home-clutter and partly as support for some tools, like the Silkshot and Curveclaw, that don't stand up well by themselves. Presentation is important here.)
Some spots on the walls felt a little barren without anything on them, so I made a couple things to hang up. Given Hornet's penchant for mapping out areas (and adding colorful identifying details here and there on the area selection view), I figured that she might make a simpler one to hang up in her house, so I made one to go above the tools:
And here's the active crafting area. I made a Cogfly schematic for that area, both because it filled up some empty space and just because I thought it was cool.
(Was surprisingly frustrating to get a picture of it that wasn't covered in glare from my lamp. Still a bit bright.)
That bit's the real center of that side of the bellhome, if you ask me. Coglflies overall have a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to them, so I wanted to put a little extra emphasis on their spot in the bellhome.
The last element is the lights. If you've so far been thinking, "Huh, those work all right, but they're a little... plain, and it's a shame they don't light up", you'd be thinking the same as me. I wanted to go with electrics at first, but found nothing for the string lights that was small enough while at the same time being okay to look at or at least able to be modified appropriately. So I ended up using glowing paint. Each one of the string lights is made of a tiny ball that I dipped in the stuff before stringing up, and the bath has many coats of it underneath the surface of the "water" and wool. It's hard to get pictures of, and this is the best I managed. Not very strong, but it's better than nothing.
This doesn't do the effect full justice, so I'll likely take a short video showing it off and put it in another post. This gives you the sense of it, though.
...And that brings me to the photo limit anyway, so that's it for the bellhome. This took me around seven weeks of work (though it would have been less without school), and I'm very glad to have finally finished it. If you want to see some elements of it by themselves, I've got some "sneak peek" posts a little further down on my blog, where you'll also find some of the many characters I've made. (Here's a post with all of them listed as well.) I could do much better a second time around, and who knows, I may end up making other bellhomes/dioramas or similar things in the future. Whatever the case, goodness knows I'm not going to stop making things of this genre anytime soon.
May you enjoy looking at this. I did! And still do.
Are you a cosplayer? Are you painfully stubborn and tired of every video and tutorial out there about painting shoes telling you not to paint the rubber soles? Me too! So I did it anyway.
Here's a full break down of how I did it complete with suggested materials and pictures!
Apologies to those that use screen readers, Tumblr is NOT letting me add alt text on desktop, so I would greatly appreciate anyone who wants to add an image description in a reblog. I'll try to write one up and add it to the end of this post later, but you are free to beat me to it!
wtf is up with the back of this wrapping paper? This is very much not an inch grid, and it's also not any kind of rounded Metric measurement.
This one is almost an inch grid, but it's still off enough to cause problems if it were used as a guide to draft a large pattern.
This also reminds me that a while ago I went looking for gridded paper and didn't end up buying any because so many of the online reviews I found said the measurements were a bit off.
Beware of gridded paper! Measure before you use it to pattern draft, especially if you're going to be scanning and digitally sizing stuff!
Not this again. This is always such an unfortunately foolish “hack” to give people. There’s no standard for these grids as far as I know (it’s not an international inch or anything metric half the time) and there never needs to be one if you think about it. Most gift wrapping techniques can easily work with imperfect measurements. It’s meant to be a loose guide for quicker, prettier wrapping and it’s usually a marketing point for more expensive papers too. That’s the beauty of gift wrapping. It can work easy peasy without specific measurements.
A sewing pattern can’t be close enough for government work though. It needs to be precise. I hate this tip so much. I keep seeing it pop up throughout the years and I feel bad for anyone who bought a ton of wrapping paper on sale thinking this would work. (it can… sometimes) I also feel bad for any well made paper companies that get review bombed because their grid is more or less random.
Maybe it’s just me, but a present grid being slightly over a set measurement makes sense. You could give people a decent margin of error. Juuuuust enough to prevent a gap if you mismeasured.
"Just use wrapping paper", everyone said. "It's got a handy inch grid right there on the back", they said.
I use Metric so I'd never tried it before, but I'm about to try a 1917 pants draft that's in inches. Thank goodness I measured first.
At least it'll be useful for making sure my lines and angles are straight while drafting.
i do think it’s genuinely a little sad how often tumblr historians and fandom historians forget about paige the notepad. i see so many talking about the tumblr sexyman phenomenon and their lineup will have tony the clock and they’ll say some stuff like “they never shipped these guys with girls, there were no tumblr sexywomen” as if paige did not build that catwalk and walk it so those boys could run!!!!!
