Hubby has been working on this outdoor cupboard to store our seed raising gear and supplies. He will use the bench to pot up plants etc. I was hanging the washing out and decided it would be the perfect place to spray baste my cushion cover. Turns out it was.

Carbuncle from Final fantasy XIV

After a long time, next work is done. Carbuncle from FFXIV. This one was quite difficult for me since I couldn’t catch right proportions for this Carbuncle, and screenshots I had weren’t so great (I played in FFXIV in past, it was good game but I started to force myself to play everyday because I was paying for it monthly. So I quit after it was too much)

For the most of the felting process I was quite worried and my Carbuncle didn’t look good, only when I got to part where I joined legs, added extra wool at connections, it started to look a lot better. And that red detail on it’s head, when I added this part it made Carbuncle look like Carbuncle. I started felting from the head, and since I wanted to keep original proportions the best I could it ended quite big. On height it is like my last figures of Zag or Than, but when you measure it’s length... I didn’t plan it to be so big, and that’s why it took so long. The tail could be longer but it was already heavy with length you see and compare to rest of the body. I’ve made shading with darker wool this way because I thought it will look more interesting and more like natural fur, like some cats have this irregular mix of their fur colors. That’s why I didn’t cover some places on legs, ears and tail very solid.

 Anyway I thought that it would be nice to make photo of it as mount for one of my previous felting works and so here is Rose riding it.

Posting new work took me so long because I had 3 works started at the same time. Carbuncle, Melia and Malboro and I just couldn’t finish any of them. I wanted to do Melia before XB3 comes out but I wasn’t able to. Then XB3 came out and it took a lot of my free time. She’s like 50% done but still a lot work before me. I think I will finish Malboro from FF15 first. I really wish to do some smaller felting work after both of them but I have no idea what I would like to do. Each thing I want to do for myself ends as complex character figure, I might like to do Eevee evolutions fo myself, but I would need to plan those better so they won’t end as big as Carbunce. For sure next character I want to do after Melia would be chaos from Xenosaga, because I loved and still love that games and him as character, MOMO too for sure I will make one day, probably I will do their ep3 clothes. I want to do Nia and XB3 gave me amazing version for her, I have thought about making her but each of her XB2 look didn’t work 100% with me. Base one because it’s too close to FF9 Garnet and I want to do her one day too. Maybe in next 100 years I will do half things I really want to felt XD. There is too much of it, but it goes slow since I have other things to do in my free time.
