Nothing is more difficult and unflattering then stuffing your own duck tape dummy... #fursuit

Love my JRPG community- always coming through! #fuckice

She thinks she's hidden. I don't have the heart to tell her. #rabbits #bunny

One hand done! And I have learned a lot. I will be making the inside of the 2nd one better, that's for sure. #fursuit

Working on paws. I really like the finger claws? Protogens are drawn with so I wanted mine to look the same. I tried to sew it but it was too puffy looking so now I'm trying 3d printed claws which have their own set of problems. Paint->seal->glue->stuff?->sew->shave ->repeat 2nd for hand if it works

Just finished(?) my arm sleeves. Need a few more zig zag stitches on the elastic but I'm hand sewing so I'm starting to develop a repetitive strain injury in my dominant hand. I'll be taking a sewing break until mid January after this but I really just want to get them done done. #fursuit

Remember, you don't need to be a master artist to make a reference sheet. I'm not in a location to focus on a professional ref but I need to draw. when I was working on Iota's head, I only had sticky notes of body parts. Just draw. Anything is better than nothing. Anyways, heres Iota lol #art #furry

Got myself some protobeans friends from @bossmonstalv.bsky.social Mad I didn't know about these sooner but my wallet might be mad I know about them now #protobeans

It's official! My first fursuit head is done. Thanks to @furbittenstudios.bsky.social for making protogens affordable and accessible to make. Even with the kit, it was a lot of work and I enjoyed every moment of it. #fursuit #protogen

I'm so close to being done. I had it all glued to the head and realized I hated how the fur sat on my neck and shoulders. After walking away and coming back the next morning, I figured out that there was too much fur. Some time you need to look away for it to click with fresh eyes #wip #protogen

I ordered from You Toonz for the 1st time and honestly I'm really disappointed in the packaging. No padding, the bag wasn't sealed to avoid moisture, weak tape. It's shipped from China and no one thought that the ride might get bumpy? This is for a friend and I hope they don't mind the box #youtoonz

Testing ears colors with head colors with a test fit. So this is my first time furring anything and I'm really happy with the colors and my sewing capabilities. #protogen #fursuit #wip

Fur around ears done. I'll do the neck next then the ears. Once all the sewing is done, then I'll glue. #wip #protogen #fursuit

PSA: when dealing with faux fur, especially when cutting, WEAR A MASK!!!! All of those tiny synthetic fibers are inhaleable and be harmful. And yes I actually did wear a mask. I'm really bad about safe art making but I really am getting too old for that. #fursuitmaking

I'm proud of my stitching. I think this is going to turn out really well. For once I'm really optimistic #wip #protogen

I'm on fur now for my protogen. I am hand sewing all the fur for a couple reasons. I can be very precise with my stitching. I suck at using a machine. I'm insane. Just remember you don't need expensive equipment to make stuff. No hate to either method. #wip #protogen

I'm just a little oof

Ears are attached and all that's left is fur! Funny thing about ears, everyone draws and makes ears differently. Literally, no two images were the same. I hope mine look good. #wip # protogen

FINALLY!!!! It's embarrassing how many times I had to redo one of the cheeks.... I now have to attach the visor. The problem for this is it doesn't sit right so I'm probably going to have to permanently fix it to the frame. #wip #protogen

After many mistakes and set backs, I am a step closer. This sure has been a learning experience and now understand the prices and appreciate makers even more. I already did this but now it's ingrained in the folds of my brain along with the paint/sealant fumes, yum 🤤 #wip #protogen

One cheek done until fitting. I messed up the other one so I had to respray the black. I need to slow my roll anyways. I struggle with letting paint dry because my "dry enough" really isn't at all. #wip #protogen

I picked a dark steel paint and holy heck, I couldn't be happier. I knew I didn't want a light silver/grey color. I was also afraid of going too dark. While I could stand to go a little darker, I don't think I'll find a closer paint then this. And the way the light catches 🤌 #wip #protogen

I'm proud to say I've made good progress on my protogen. Came up with this design for a future space corpo. I play this character in ttrpgs so I wanted the design to have to do with back story. I'm just glad the motivation is back. Often I lose steam and never come back to a project. #wip #protogen

Nothing but loafs of bread

My first hitch (aside from me hating bondo). My visor doesn't sit right. After some investigation, I figured out that to get it to fit, I have to reduce the jaw size. I am slowly removing the angle with 60 grit. One it fits, I'll go to 80 then 120. I love a problem I can solve. #protogen #wip

Curious? Check out @furbittenstudios.bsky.social where I got this kit. They have a tutorial page too if you want to make it from scratch. Honestly, I'm just having fun having a project I enjoy. Protogens hit that mix media itch just right #protogen

I'm working on a thing #protogen

At first I was bummed about not getting any emeralds but then I remembered the reason I got these in the 1st place. Shadow, my beloved! If ya don't know, Shadow is one of my favorite characters. Classic edgelord redemption story that changed my brain chemistry at 12, sign me up! #MTGsecertlairsonic

www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6SdYPdu/ I think I'm going to use tiktok only to post my bunnies... I love them so much. #bunnies #rabbits

A student gave me an acrylic marker set and I decided to test them out. Honestly I like em. Never used acrylic markers before and I may invest in a high quality set when these run out. I had this pencil drawing in my sketchbook so I figured why not? #art

Io and his scarecrow. Io is from another ttrpg and he's about to be in another one tomorrow. The urge to make this was strong. I did a lot of new things for this one so I'm glad it turned out and that it got finished. #ocs #art #digitlart

Okay break over. Get back to being tormented Mason 😈 #ocs #art #sketch

Daily Bread #rabbits

Have I finally left my "tormenting OCs" era? No, but he can have a little break as a treat. #art #oc #sketch

Found out in Marvel Rivals, if you and another Bucky use his get in attack at the same time, you go BONK and fall to the ground with tweeting bird sfx. I love this game <3 #MarvelRivals

I got bunnies yesterday! I got them from a local rescue. The brown one is Mivlo. He is named after my ff14 character. The white one is named Aurora. She is named after my fiance's ff14 character. Mivlo is shy and Aurora has no problem telling people off. Both little pigs when it comes to food. 🥰🐇

Not another tiktok shop purchase 🙃 The rubber soles make noise on my hard floors. There is a lot of padding on the top of my feet. I can feel the elastic around the top of my heel. Still. Cute and comfy. My feet don't slide and are warm #tiktokshop

Mason without the dead eyes. I really need to draw more. #sketch

I love pulling all my stuff out to reorganize and throw stuff out just to stop half way through. Also. Why do I have so many different hobbies/projects? Strangest thing I found was a graphing calculator in my domo bag from 2010....

Okay, I think I'm actually done now. Updated the eyes. Button for my oc Mason. #art #digitalart #oc

I think it's done....need to test print. I struggle to call anything done because once I do, I can see all the mistakes I probably won't fix and end up hating it. Good luck little button, hope I don't hate you later. #art #digitalart

Paper bag books. Testing to see if middle schoolers can handle making one. I think so but the learned incompetence and neediness still surprises me sometimes.

More playing with the toddler crayons from Jupitearth. It's my vtuber/pngtuber from my twitch channel www.twitch.tv/lady_irene I'm just having fun not worrying about making high quality art rn. Need less stress in my life. #art #shamelessplug #jupitearth

Shaded. Kind of want to leave the eyes messy. #art #digitalart #wip

Got the Jupitearth crayons after seeing them on tiktok for a while. I like em. Like a soft oil pastel. Smudge-able, silky feeling in the hand, cute bear caps, and twist up/down for length control & clean handling. #art

Going to clean up the eyes and add shadows. Then test print and go from there. Hopefully I will have a button by the end of the week to show off. #wip #art #digitalart

Background wip for the Mason button 👀 Also don't know why the wip pic with Mason in it won't load but whatever. #art #digitalart #wip

Made a button template for my button maker to make digital art with. I want to make one for all my OCs. Mason of course gets 1st dibs... And no his animation is not done. #WIP #digitalart #art

That's the marker I used.... The math ain't mathing #art #wip

Fresh drawing of Blair. I never ink my traditional drawings because I'm not very good at it. Same with color so time to ruin it #art #wip
