Askew makes a new friend!
Askew made a new friend today. Do your plushes have any friends?
My partner and I worked together to make a lamb with removable wool! This is Pastry
I made the plush while my partner made the wool part. It's a cheviot lamb as they have their ears more upwards rather than down. I also chose to give it a longer tail as since this is a "house pet" lamb, it's being well taken care of and thus doesn't need it's tail removed.
The purple bits was from an error while putting together so I decorated the mistake 🥲
Lamb my partner made for me!
I made the polka dot one. The small polka dot one is Ecstasy and the one my partner made is Molly.
I have always been nervous of getting one. What are some things I can do so I won't cry?
I've always been terrified of getting one because of the emotional guilt of neglecting it. It's a Gen3. What are some time specific things I should know so I won't be checking it every 10 seconds out of fear? I know some information like don't wait too long and shoo away the bats and keep it fed, but what is the average time that the information goes down? Its a child I think now. I don't know who or what it is, it just looks like a sprout or a Potato with wings to me.
[Hiring] Looking for artist to draw specific monster hands, budget 30-40$ PLEASE READ POST!
I'm looking for an artist who can draw hands in a more detailed/ semi realistic/ realistic style. I'm looking for these hands in multiple poses so I'll need an artist that is comfortable with complex posing.
The hands are not going to be human but instead are going to be monster/monstrous. The palm is human sized, but it's very thin. The fingers will be elongated and spindly. There's claws connected to the hands, specifically claws, not nails. 🥲.
The art style is more detailed -> realistic, and I'm afraid but I'm just not interested in chibi or simple styles. Stuff like D&D is similar to inspiration. Other inspirations are The Beldam from Coraline, and such.
I have references! And PLEASE ask If you're unsure what to do as I will be very happy to assist.
Looking to get between 3-6 poses, one being colored and shaded at least. There's no time frame but I would prefer If a month or less. I can take PayPal, cashapp, and venmo.
Plush I completed! Made with hot glue
After a month he's completed! He's 16 inches tall. He has magnetic hands and wings. His clothes are removable. His wings are also posable/bendable. His hair is also layered. I made all of the patterns except the the sweater which is an altered version of one from 10x2 Studio. He's supposed to have pants but I ran out of fabric.
After a month he's finally complete! Plush I made with hot glue
I've been working on him for a month and everything except for his sweater was made completely by scratch, the sweater I altered a pattern from 10x2 studios. He's 16 inches tall, has floppy limbs, has magnetic hands, his clothes are removable, has layered hair, has posable wings, and his wings are also magnetic for easy moving. He's made completely with hot glue. He's supposed to have pants but I ran out of fabric and just decided to post without them.
I don't GET why people are saying it's unrealistic??? Like I added so many LINES and DETAILS!!?!
uj/ found my old art books and so much potential to meme on them. I really thought that more lines = better art
Placement of 4th row need help
Hi. I made a pattern and I'm doing a multi-stitch cuff. I had made this exact same pattern yesterday but today I can't seem to do it right. It's 30 beads in width. Do I string to the next bead over? Go over the other? It has to follow the pattern otherwise the outcome will be messed up. Any help is welcomed! I'm starting from the pink. Left to right.
How can I make complex design cuffs with a small wrist?
For a peyote cuff I take 22 beads. For a multi stitch I take 30. I see all of these cool patterns but they're all way too big for my wrist or even arm! Is there any way I can make any complex design or really much of anything with such a size limit?
Can we get a new rule limiting the "can I carry a plush/ is it OK to have a plush at x age?"
These questions come up every day and it's always the same premise of "I'm 13, can I have a plush still?" Yes yes you can. "I'm 19 and I sleep with my baby plush, is that ok?" Yes why wouldn't it be. "I'm an adult and I want to carry my plush. Can I?" You're an adult, you can do what you want. "Is it OK for me as a 29 year old to have something I like?" Come on yall.
Like I know that some people just want reassurance, but I feel like the questions and responses are always the same thing. There's only so many different ways we can state "yes." That having a rule against these types of questions-> into "Yes plushes are for anyone and everyone! Feel free to bring your friend out in public If it is something that will bring you joy." Would just work.
Edit since it seems as if some people are confused as to what I mean. I'm not stating that we should just ban all posts regarding these questions and just leave it as that. What I mean is to have a rule removing those posts and or directing them to an overall post that reassures and answers all of their questions regarding it. Having a main post of "here's how to be comfortable carrying a plush in public." With little notes of getting used to it, keeping the plush safe, keeping it clean, ideas of decorating it or adding collars for safety, etc.
How to make egg hole for tattletail?
I've been a fan of tattletail ever since the game released and recently I've remembered these dumb furby things existed so I wanted to try to make one given there's only 1 official plush and it was a limited release 🥲. With that though the official plush has an egg hole which I thought was hilarious so I wanted to incorporate it into my own plush. For those unaware, the creatures above, tattletails, are furby like robot toys that will "eat" the food and then lay it out in an egg.
Above is the picture from the game, then a fan/sellers version of them, and then the last two are from the official plush.
Polka dot lamb made with glue
Pattern by 10x2 Studio. I wanted to make a white lamb but my white was too thick so I ended up using the polka dots. I thought it would look nice with the purple.
Looking for this fabric! Can anyone help?
This isn't my plush but I have one exactly like it. I just pulled this one because my plush is worn down way more than that one is. I know that it's a Minecraft Jazwares Enderman plush, whether or not it's official is up for debate. But anyways, I'm looking to make/remake My plush and I need the fabric to be the exact same texture. I've tried asking in like 3 other subs and I've came back empty handed every time. Please can someone help?
Message to younger therians - Stranger Danger!
Hi. I'm not that old but this has happened to me one too many times so I feel like this needs to be reminded. Stranger danger!! If you see someone in public wearing a mask, tail, symbol, whatever, Just admire them from afar! You do not know this person or how they will react to people coming up to them. I know it is exciting to see someone similar in the wild but PLEASE don't come up to them without any previous notion that they're looking to interact. And If you do interact then make sure that you have an adult or a supervisor nearby.
Yes even If they look "safe" or "welcoming" or "friendly". I'm not saying that the person is dangerous to you but they may not be looking to be interacted with.
I have have and wear bright colors. I usually have a plush with me as well. I know I look like a safe person and I will help if someone needs help. However, I also really do not like crowds, can not deal with lights, sounds, noises, and especially unplanned events. I have been in public with my partner and have been circled by excited young therians and furries 3 times. And have had an unsupervised person come directly to my face, touch my tail or plush, or try to give me their socials multiple times.
You could be putting yourself in danger being with a stranger, you do not know If that person will hurt you. You also will draw attention to that stranger and make them look bad, and you do not know how they will react.
You do not know how they will react!
Every time this happens it makes me never want to wear any of my outfits ever again because I know I will get an unexpected encounter. I try my hardest to stay away because it makes me feel queasy and causes me to shut down. So please please please! Consider stranger danger.
Is it OK to mix different peoples patterns? NOT SELLING!
So I've bought some patterns and I tried looking through the artists TOS regarding Frankenstein-ing patterns but I couldn't find anything for either of them. Both of their TOS just say not to redistribute/resell the pattern and either don't sell the plush or just credit the maker.
I am NOT selling these plushes! I just make plushes for myself and sometimes a friend. I also have no interest to ever sell these plushes either, this is just for me as as hobby.
However, if I were to get a pattern from someone and use part of it for limbs, but take another pattern and use that for a head, and then a third one for a tail, etc. Is that alright? I'm only asking because I don't know how I would give credit once I show the final product off or if I would get lynched by other plush makers. Some who are very strict on plush making it seems 😓.
[Hiring] 40$ maximum. Looking to hire an artist that specializes in monstrous hands.
I'm looking for an artist to draw some hands. Front, back, in poses, whatever they're able to do. I have a character who's hands are something I can never draw right and I just want to be able to see them. The hands are humanoid, 5 fingered, normal palm size, but the fingers are unnaturally long and curved claws start about ¾ up the fingers. The hands are VERY thin and spindly. Think of Other Mother but with skin.
Whenever I try to get someone to make his hands it usually ends up human sized, short, etc.
I would like at least one drawing to be colored and shaded but the rest can be black and white If price needed. I would also like WIPs just for 1 sketch to make sure that the hands are how I pictured them.
Thanks!
