The bad news is that you have been abducted by aliens. The good news is that you've been abducted by the alien equivalent of Steve Irwin, who has decided to make you the subject of an alien nature documentary.
i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”
More Dunk and Egg fanart, featuring Dunk, Egg, and Aerion Targaryen from The Hedge Knight! I went a little further with the stained-glass style this time, and I'm happy with how it turned out! Especially Aerion's cloak, which is supposed to be fully black if I remember right; I added in the fiery colours just to help it pop XD
Also, the dragons here aren't actually there - it's meant to symbolize the Targaryens fighting (over Dunk hahaa)! The designs are based on the descriptions of their dragon eggs; Aerion's is gold and silver, and veined with red, while Egg's is white and green, all swirly. And the tree in the back is meant to represent Dunk :'''D
Vincent Benitez from Conclave (2024) , with removable clothing and accessories.
Materials and little into the creation under the cut:
Materials:
Brown: Melton wool (nuevo paño)
Red: Velvet for the clothing (terciopelo) —I do not recommend it, as I had to burn all the edges— and felt for the zucchetto (fieltro)
White: Upcycled t-shirt and dress.
Black: Not sure. -It was in a discount bin- It’s similar to melton wool but woolier, possibly alpaca melton wool (nuevo paño de alpaca?).
I made him using this pattern. I decided to make the eyes into simple dots instead of an anime-style design (accidentally ended up slightly crooked). I also embroidered lines under the eyes to give him an older appearance.
I used the clothing pattern from the video as a base for his cassocks, though I modified them to add buttons so I could remove his clothes. The same applies to the mozzetta. The zucchetto was probably the easiest piece to make, I just followed the shape of the head.
The hair was freehand, and I embroidered white hairs after sewing it onto the head (which also gave it a more "wavy" texture). I only did this because I hadn't thought of adding that detail earlier—same with the papal clothes.
The crucifix is just one I had on hand, which I shortened it to fit him better.
His head is a bit floppy. I'm not sure how to fix this, another plushie I made has the same issue, but even worse. I might try making the body bigger to help stabilize it.
This is why I strongly advocate for an alien invasion movie but set in like 1142. The Anarchy is in full swing.
it’d be so good. Everyone would map theological explanations of the aliens onto them. It’d be so much fun.
Aliens: Take us to your leader.
Jocelyn, Peasant: All right. Um, which one? Are you for King Stephen or the Empress Maude?
Aliens: Um–
Jocelyn: I recommend Empress Maude. King Stephen is a lying usurper.
Aliens: All right, Empress Maude. Take us to her.
Jocelyn: I always new God was on our side.
Aliens:
Jocelyn: You’re angels right? Come to bring us portends and tidings of the divine?
Aliens: Or to massacre you.
Jocelyn: That makes sense. We’re very sinful. We deserve whatever punishment it is God has seen fit to bestow upon us.
Aliens:
Aliens:
Aliens: Wow.
