I wasn't able to use a reference from the internet though as I'm recovering from a concussion :') so he's based off of "the child animatronic" from Hasbro that I have. I did change and tweak a few things as I went along. I have to be honest, this was my first time ever coloring a drawing with colored pencils! So it's not that great, but it was a fun proces and kept me busy :)
I don't exactly had the right equipment for it, but as someone who likes to draw, I definitely had some stuff laying around. I wish I took a before picture, but once it got delivered I just ripped the packaging open and got started immediately! The only thing that failed are the ears, wasn't able to smudge the crayon around as I intented to do so had to improvise there.
As the titel states, three years ago I got a jig and some paracord from my sister, who didn't want to continue her hobby. The bright pink&green and gray&orange (on the left and 2nd pic) are collars I made three years ago, they were only my 2nd en 3rd try at paracord collars (or any paracord project whatsoever) so they weren't perfect, both in execution and size. I then ran out of paracord, rings and buckles and stopped due to financial reasons. Also, the jig my sister gave me was annoying, because the buckles would slide off constantly while making.
But what goes around comes around I guess! I'm someone who's crafty and loves working with my hands, and now finally financially being more stable, I picked up some colors, buckles and rings and started right away! I also have a 3D printer now, so I designed and printed some custom attachments for the jig to keep the buckles securely in place and make it much easier to work with, definitely helped keeping frustration down as opposed to three years ago.
So the ones on the right side and 4th picture are the ones I made today and yesterday, after a three year break. I honestly loved making them and already got ideas for next ones! They are still not perfect, but hey, i'm just happy I'm able to make collars again. Will be looking around on this sub too to see what I can find.
