Welcome to my blog! I'm Nate, I created this blog to share some of my creative projects since they don't get a lot of appreciation irl.

I'll mostly be posting pictures of the clothes i customized, maybe some fanart here and there if i feel the courage to post.

Feel free to stick around and see what i'm up to!

This intro is currently a placeholder as im working on another one >:)

I made a Night vale/Desert Bluffs inspired bag because I GOT INTO COLLEGE!!!!!! YAYAY

I also remade some of the old pins I had, plus I made some new ones specifically for this bag

The bag has a bunch of pockets and compartments, it's really spacious, trust me! it's huge and really strong, and I THRIFTED IT!!! This is my pride and joy

Look at this thing... I'm so proud, it took me weeks but it's finally done, I can't wait to go to class with this bad boy

Here's some closeups of the pins since I'm proud of em too and the pic above is a little blurry

The intern blood splatter and the glow cloud have a THICK layer of glitter on top, but if i try to take a pic showing it, the plastic covering the paint reflects the light and doesnt show the sparkles on camera :( so u just gotta believe me, its sparkly okay....

My classmates probably won't know what nightvale even is.... Brazilian struggles ig But at least I'll know and be happy :))) (and if someone does know it ill be EVEN HAPPIER)

Hello! It's been a bit since I posted anything new, I've been crazy busy but at least i got a lot of stuff on queue now!!!

I've been meaning to post this one since new years, my new desert bluffs cropped shirt!!!

I actually wore this bad boy on new years eve, it was great! Also listened to the disco elysium soundtrack at midnight (la revacholiere)

Stitching all the ruffles was a bit of a pain and had to be done cause i cut the shirt too short, but honestly, i really like it lol PLUS the back is longer now

Some extra pics and me rambling about the project: I had to add some elastic on the sides because the fabric and thread i had lying around for the ruffles is non stretch.... At least i now had a nice spot for bows

Originally, i was gonna make the bows black, then i ran out of black ribbon but found the white one and thought, "great, ill just paint it yellow later!" but then it grew on me and now its permanently white

I downloaded Disco Elysium a little over a month and a half ago, and I'm happy to inform i have a new hyperfixation

So here is the SHIVERS jacket i painted:

We even had some sewing action with this one!

I removed the original sleeves cause they were too tight. For the fabric of the new ones i took apart an old skirt i didn't wear anymore, then i used the old sleeves as a pattern for the new ones (but cut it slightly larger ofc).

Its hand sewn with red thread, plus i reattached the original cuffs. I think it turned out really nice and I'm really proud of this one :)

Bonus pic of me wearing it! + My cat demanding attention by jumping on top of it as I was taking these pictures

The quote on the bottom is not super visible but its okay, at least I know its there :')

[mourning-cat]

Just for the record, i edited some of my old posts and added a transparent watermark on top of the pics, and changed my blog name to match!

Ik this blog doesnt get a lot of traction, but I just wanna play it safe and make sure no one gets scammed or played if someone decides do steal these pics (specially since i had people ask me if i sell this stuff)

[mourning-cat]

Is this fandom dead? maybe, but I had a blue hoodie lying around so I did my best to replicate Jack Frost's hoodie :)

No longer lazy so i removed the bg and added my watermark

Also, I did add some glitter to the fabric, so it sparkles! It's really cool to see irl

ignore the color difference, i messed around with the first pics color so it matched the irl color better, i swear my camera makes everything look super grey T_T

BOOM this is a little compilation of some small WTNV and Desert Bluffs themed stuff I did!

First, some handmade pins!

These are just watercolor paper glued to some carboard, with a pin hot glued on the back. Once I was done with that I just put some transparent tape on top to keep them from being scratched and stuff like that

These are around 3,5cm each, so they're not huge, except for the intern one which is 4cm long

Plus, I added glitter to the blood on the intern card and over the glow cloud so theyre sparkly!!

Next: A little box I made to store said pins and the other ones i made:

It was originally a random box of something I bought once (I always keep my boxes for stuff like this) I painted over it. The inside is all black

Its a little beat up since its a few months old now, but I still use it :3

Next, a little desert bluffs notebook cover I painted over, this one is more than 2 years old so it doesn't look as good as it used to, but its still very dear to me:

Its a bit dirty from me using it and carrying it around :') It's just a normal tiny notebook I painted over

NEXT: a cross stitch bookmark+my phone case

I DID NOT COME UP WITH THIS PATTERN!! I replicated someone elses I saw on Pinterest, im trying to find the op since the one on pinterest seems to be a repost, when I do ill edit this post to link to the original creator!

The phone one is the oldest out of all of these, I made it over three years ago when I first got my clear phone case. Its just a piece of watercolor paper painted and cut to fit inside the case which is very yellowed now but shhhhhh

And this concludes my little "tiny projects dump", I'm really happy to be able to share my silly stuff with people who also know and love wtnv!!!! since I live in an area where no one even knows what that is-

Here's the jacket I painted for Halloween last year! I cosplayed as Nico and it took me forever to find a jacket that fit him lol, but after lots of thrifting I found the perfect one and painted it!

I actually sewed the white fur myself, and the painting is a huge rectangular patch i sewed on (I couldn't paint over the back, it had a huge embroidered thingy).

Fun fact: This is the second piece of clothing I ever painted!

The front is also really pretty!! I just feel like this fit Nico perfectly!

I also made his sword and a necklace with hand painted beads, I'll probably post them here at some point.

Wohooo second post!

This is one of my recent projects, I finished listening to the It devours! audiobook and was obsessed, then I go thrifting and I find a yellow jacket. I knew what I had to do.....

Now it might look small on the hanger because the jacket is cropped, but I promise it's the size of my entire back lmao

Bonus pictures of me wearing the jacket!!! I even made those fishnet gloves just so I could wear them with this :3

Yeah I suck at cropping but it's fine lmao

[mourning-cat]

So, since this is the first post in my new blog, I thought it would be nice to show the first piece of clothing I ever painted! My desert bluffs jacket

I'll be the first to say it might look a little wonky, and the paint faded a little (I painted this like more than a year ago), but I love it!
