I love that I can just.. make guys, it's such a joy and unconventional form of fanart
(The devs named him Slippy on BlueSky 🫶)
How Curious!!
A puppet? In the works? Yes, indeed!
Lately, I've been plugging away at making a mascot for my various accounts. I'm reviving an old puppet I had made ages ago with a fresh, new, 2.0 version, and he'll soon be the face of my little brand! Here's a quick doodle of what he looks like...
His name is Smarty Cat, a friendly, know-it-all tabby who likes to teach, learn about, and collect zany things. A bit too smart for his own good, he occasionally jumbles up his fun facts, and is always on the hunt for something new to learn. He also loves bubble wrap! I have no clue why, you might want to ask him.
Designed by Mistake??
Smarty was designed 13 years ago in a sculpture class I took, where we had 90 minutes to design and build a puppet out of scraps. In the rush of the project, I accidentally mixed up "alley cat", "smart alec", and "scaredy cat", misremembering the phrase as "smarty cat". Smarty went through an entire art show before I realized my mistake. Reading his namecard on the night he was displayed, it dawned on me! Whoops...
Here's some progress up until this point:
This 2.0 version of Smarty started off as a small clay sculpt I made patterns for. I then blew up the patterns, did some test mockups, altered the patterns, and settled on this size for the final:
I was happy with this! During this mockup stage, Smarty 1.0 was busy deciding on what colors of fur he wanted for his 2.0.
He eventually settled on a bit warmer palette than his current one. Now that we have most of the materials to continue, we're getting excited to really get into the nitty gritty of bringing his 2.0 to life!
guess who spent 3 hours on a new paper dragon while listening to melanie martinez's portals album on loop :D
his names cozkoii ("cause-coy") and ilhsm <3
Well of all the projects I need to finish I somehow didn't guess "start patterning a life size puppet build of Sun FNAF" even tho start a new project almost always wins
max be like: *makes a puppet*
My pride and joy... my fucked up son... he has every disease... here's the tale of his immaculate conception
If you have any questions about him, feel free to ask!!!
A nurse and her captain...
Hello Mouthwashing Tumblr, I humbly present to you: Curly and Anya 🫶
And I'm gonna hit you with a bit of a yapsesh about these two
I haven't made a new cosplay since September 2021, and I haven't made a puppet since I was a child. I had a huge puppet hyperfix when I was a kid and my parents shamed me out of it because they HATE fun and want to DESTROY it, but now I'm an adult and I can make whatever I want... so I made a burn victim. I've been hyperfixated on Mouthwashing for months, and this cosplay has me brimming with autistic joy. This is one of my favorite pieces of horror media to exist, and what I've made is a love letter to the viscerally human story the game has told, and the characters of Curly and Anya specifically. I wanted to put some of my own headcanons into the designs because it makes them feel a bit more real. If Swansea's clothes got stained with mouthwash over time, I stand to say that Curly and Anya also got stained. I'm glad I decided to go with a puppet for Curly instead of a doll, I absolutely love making him seem alive and aware of his surroundings, always looking at you no matter where you are with the follow-me eye (shoutout to u/someguywithdiabetes on r/puppets for the suggestion). This blends the two art forms together beautifully and is a testament to a decade of honing my skills. This was my dissertation, I now have a PHD in cosplay. This is my magnum opus, I fear
People have to be worthy of their titles. Don't you think, nurse Anya?
