So!! For the past couple of months, I have been working on a plushie of Assok, from @modmad's wonderful webcomic The Property of Hate :D
I hadn't used felt to make a plush since I was a kid, and this project took a lot of work, time and efforts, but I'm extremely proud of how it turned out. Very much a labour of love :'>
Special shout-out to @sharoo, who crocheted the little Assok sock on the trunk for me!
I started it around mid-April and we're almost mid-July, so this project took just about three months to complete– although most of the last one was spent waiting for the little crochet Assok to arrive, augh. The package spent 25 days in transit why.
The pattern was made by Voynart on etsy, though I altered it quite a bit to make it resemble Assok more.
Process and WIP pictures below the cut!
After modifying the pattern I had bought I made two rounds of testing (one with just the paper pieces and another out of cheap felt) to check if it all fit together okay! This took two weeks iirc? I only had a limited amount of wool felt and I wanted to make the plushie as big as possible, so I didn't have a lot of room for errors once I got going
The head! (plus one of the paws, I was testing appliqué stitches)
I made it first, because it was the most important part and I wanted to make sure I got it right
The body! I made all the paws different because they're not always the same colour in the webcomic (check pages 619, 620 and 637, for example!); likewise, I didn't use exactly the same thread colour on both sides of the body. I really enjoyed the fact that you can embrace visible stitches when working with felt, it's not something I did with my previous plushies :>
Fun fact: as I was sewing on the dark purple pieces on Assokaphant’s front legs, I had to use pliers to force the needle through both pieces of felt plus stuffing, and I managed to break the needle fdshgfds
BUT THEN I ran into A Problem: sock too big for they trunk. Of course I could've put it in the washing machine until it shrank, but, you know, I was afraid it would take a while...
THANKFULLY Sharoo came to my rescue and made a perfectly-sized Assok for me!! It's adorable aaa I'm so glad. Couldn't have done it myself, truly the cherry on top
Hello Mod! I don't know if you've gotten this question before but, which animals do you think the TpoH cast would be?
I've said that RGB would be either a fox or a coyote or a dingo (menace) and Hero would be many things, but perhaps defaulting to a dog or a bear, but I don't remember doing the others and I want to procrastinate today heheheh. Some are very obvious though...
Cell: hedgehog
Assok: do I even have to say this ELEPHANT but also! could be horse
TOby: coatimundi
Melody: bison/yak (which are both what her form is based off)
Julienne: swan or secretary bird
Dial: some kind of mustelid
Tinker: praying mantis this feels so silly to even have to say
Tailor: snake, probably a ball python :3
Gladys: capybara babyyyyyyyy
Minotaur: jersey cow <3
That Darned Butterfly who now Isn't One: butterfly. big surprise there.
Click: human. human is an animal. he's just that boring. if you put a gun to my head for an animal animal I might accept marmoset...
Okay, so, this lovely cranial loopback disynaptogenic case apparently thought fun to reblog my posts with this just as lovely message (goes with the writer) and subscribe to my account.
Well, since you subscribed, dear little negative random keyboard masher throwing death threats and wishes of death around, whose brain seems to have been booted up by an AI - seriously, even Google Translate would do better - you get to see the results : your own 10 minutes of fame, with your account's name posted, for all to see ! Enjoy !
So, yeah, needless to say, block and report.
Oh, and I wouldn't bother interacting. This one looks like the nurse accidentally threw away the baby at birth and let the parents raise the placenta with nobody the wiser.
Also, another wonderful thing by them (for someone celebrating the Pride you sure look a lil' bigoted on the edges and mostly center) :
Seriously, my condoleances to all the nice, true SMG4 fans of the fandom. You seem to be dealing with a good chunk of the worst...
Will there be any more confirmed LGBTQ+ characters in TPoH besides RGB, Tailor, Time, and Hero( well as far as I remember she's going to be non-binary in future )?/gen
the minotaur gay af but I'll be real 99% of these characters are some part of the lgbtqa+ wibbbly wobbly gender wender family i just focus on the story rather than that. if it gets said it gets said, you know?
I don't have the skills of drawing my oc with my favourite miserable man so- PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE DRAW MY OC WITH RGB?! that would be the best freaking birthday present ever.
