Update on the deer skull I’m refurbishing!

Update on the deer skull I’m refurbishing!

So for people who haven’t seen the OG post, my ex friend gave me a shattered deer skull he sawed the antler off of, and I really hated the look of the sawed skull because it felt weirdly disrespectful to me to take from the body and then discard the rest like trash? Like you only took the things you wanted and left it disfigured.

So I went searching for a branch to attach to the skull to make it look like the deer grew a branch instead of antlers! I found the perfect branch on the way back from my trail after no luck, and so far it looks great! I’m gonna saw down the branch to fit flush against it and I’ll fasten faux leaves to the branch to make it look better. Thoughts on the position of the branch? I tried to make it look natural and I think I did it justice.

Ex-friend of mine gave me a deer skull, now I’m fixing it

An ex-friend of mine gave me a shattered deer skull he found at the base of a tree, and judging from the marks on the skull I think it’s safe to say it fell out of a cougar cache. He ended up sawing off the antler and keeping it for himself, and I’ve just been overall unhappy with the skull since I got it. It’s something about how he sawed it, how it looks ‘touched by man’ instead of being it’s natural state, so I’ve decided I’m going to ‘fix’ it or at least make it worthy of displaying.

I’m going to find a branch, sterilize it, carve it to the right shape and attach it to the missing antler post, almost like a tree is growing off the deer if that makes sense? I think this is going to turn out awesome but what are y’all’s thoughts? The last picture is a crude sketch of what I’m planning, I hope this works out.

Looking into possibly getting a MBK, what’s their temperament like?

So I have a corn snake, she’s lovely and I know a MBK will 100% eat her so they won’t ever come into contact, like ever. Nuh uh, no way, I’m not risking my baby.

I’m just wondering for those that have MBK’s, what’s their temperament like? I know it differs from snake to snake but what’s the general consensus on the niceness of one? I’m just doing my research in case I end up getting one in the future.

Where could I find a cat plush like this?

Size and face doesn’t really matter but where could I find a plushie that has a pose like this? I guess this would be called the cat sphinx pose lol. Plushie patterns would also be appreciated! I’m just looking for something before I end up making my own.

Me and ma boy Fernando

This is my third round Garchomp plushie! I brought him to high school today and he’s very silly.

AITBF for giving someone an allergic reaction?

So for context I’m in highschool and in concert band, and at the end of every year I make these yummy sugar cookies for the whole band, which usually takes like 4 hours to make all the batches since we’re a fairly large band. This year our band teacher is leaving the school so I made the cookies teal, because that’s her favourite colour, and this random person who knew that they were allergic to them just.. thought they were different cookies because they were blue?? I gave them a somewhat weird look when they picked up the cookie and started eating it, and after thinking for a second I asked them why they were eating something they knew they were allergic to, and this random kid spit the cookie onto our carpet and started screaming at me that I should have specified what was in the cookies, and that I was trying to kill them, when I’ve never specified what’s in the cookies unless someone asks me because it’s a HIGHSCHOOL PARTY and not a freaking public restaurant. It’s never been an issue before now but they did ending up going home over this, and I feel horrible for some reason.

I’m just so confused, and a little angry because they spat the cookie onto the floor like it was cyanide, but AITAH? Idk I feel like I shouldn’t have to label every ingredient in sugar cookies at a highschool party, if you know you’re allergic to something commonly found in cookies then ask someone, and before anyone asks the cookies have nothing in them but flour, eggs, sugar, baking powder/soda, and vanilla extract, so it’s not like I was bringing peanut butter cookies to a public school. Nobody else complained about the cookies and it was just this one kid but it made me feel like a bitch for the whole day, and I was super down because of it. AITAH for not labelling my cookie ingredients?

TIME SENSITIVE: what do I do??

So one of my teachers very irresponsibly brought a ton of kittens to school and just gave them away to some kids and teachers. I have one on my lap right now and I’m not sure what to do because he didn’t give her to me. She’s got no food and she’s been at the school all day, but at least she has water. She’s almost certainly going to a home that won’t give her the proper medicine and things she needs, and she’s covered in fleas. If I run with her they’ll know I took her, and I can’t consult any of the teachers here because they’re working on calling animal control on the teacher that brought her here. I just feel so horrible, she’s so sweet and she loves me but I can’t exactly run away with her, what do I do?

Edit: I should clarify she’s not my kitten, she’s being given to another also irresponsible teacher who I’m afraid won’t take care of her. If I run they’ll know it’s me because I’ve expressed concern for her all day and I’m scared they’ll call someone to come take her back and put her into my teacher’s care again. She’s the baby of a barn cat so she’s probably full of parasites and bugs :(

UPDATE!! I went to the office with her and we figured something out. We called my mom and she said we definitely can’t keep her, so a different teacher who knows a family currently looking for a kitten is taking her straight to the vet. I’ll miss her but I already have 2 cats, and now she’s going to get all cleaned up and taken to a new loving family that doesn’t keep her in a crate filled with spiders.

I’ll probably never see her again, but I gave her the nickname Muffin, because shes the size of a little muffin. Maybe we’ll meet again someday, but I hope her new family loves her well!

As a follow up to my doodles, here’s something fully rendered!

This is what a fully rendered drawing from me looks like compared to one of my doodles, obviously there’s a huge difference lol. In addition, how could I improve my rendered art? I do have those fancy pencils but they’re not with me rn lol so sorry if the shadows look flat. I’ve studied animal anatomy for a long time to be able to draw them from different perspectives, but I mainly specialize in cats and animals of the same nature, so what should be my next anatomy study?

Be honest, would you consider these low quality/crappy art?

I drew these out in class today and I just realized that if someone was to just see these drawings would they think I’m like 8? This is one of my art styles and it’s how I get ideas out really fast, but I definitely don’t draw like this all the time. I mainly use this for posting because when I actually put effort into my art the guidelines of the base sketch make the whole drawing look like a scribble on camera, it’s really annoying ngl. I use these more “clean” lines for shitposts and memes I want people to actually see and know what they’re looking at lol, and I was wondering if it came across as scribbles or something?

To sum things up, does this specific art style of mine look low quality or like careless lines at a glance?

Should I give Fernando his scarf?

I have a Garchomp plush thats named after a buddy I had in Pokemon Go, and whenever I drew Fernando I always gave him a red scarf, so now I’m thinking about adding a scarf to my Garchomp plushie. Should I go for it? It’s not a permanent customization, it’s just something I can tie around his neck, but I’m worried for some reason lol.

How I imagine my Pokemon Plushies talk to eachother

I have a few Pokemon plushies and I feel like this is how they would interact lol, Fernando looks mean.

What are the average prices for a Third Round Garchomp plushie?

I’m purely posting this out of curiosity, but I have a Third Round Garchomp plushie that I got for 40$ Canadian at a mall, and I love him dearly so I’m not looking to sell him lol. What are the average prices for one of these guys? I’ve seen them go from 40$ to 250$ and that seems like a pretty big price margin lol, mine is called Fernando and he’s been all over Vancouver Island with me! He’s in the first pic.

u/No-Sir-9056 — 26 days ago

Where’d this guy come from/is he official?

Ignore the background noise lol I was in class and I just realized I have no idea if my Garchomp plush is official or not! He was 40$ Canadian and he’s about a foot tall if that helps, and he’s very nice quality! Extremely durable but a bit clunky to snuggle lol, he’s very stiff. I’ve named him Fernando and I’ve had him for a few years now at this point, he’s my child and I bring him everywhere.

Edit: found the brand! He’s 3rd Round, which is apparently known for high quality Pokemon plushies and they are official! Prices are usually much steeper than what I got mine for so I got lucky somehow, I also have a Flareon plush from them that’s kinda deformed.

I love my orange sentient pool noodle

I can finally post normal pics of Cinnamon instead of being worried about her! YIPPEEEE! The last 2 are from a power outage we had where I had to cuddle her because her heating shut off, a very well behaved noodle :3

List of Cinnamon nicknames:
-Acetaminophen
-Sentient orange pool noodle
-Wrong takeout order
-T U B U L A R
-Noodle
-Boople Snoople
-Sneeble
-Spicy Ramen
-Beep Sneep
-Scaled Child

The nonsensical nicknames are variations of a nickname my friend gave her late pet gerbil, such as Geeble and Snooble, both mispronunciations of gerbil and his name. My whole friend group started calling their pets the weird names by replacing the first 2 letters of Geeble with the pet’s species lol, I highly recommend it, very fun to say. Boople Snoople is my own creation, based off Boop Snoot :3

Mom thinks there’s nothing wrong with me, but there definitely is

So I’ll start by saying I’m 15 and trans, female to male, and I’ve been in and out of hospitals due to mental health issues and actual medical concerns in the past, but recently I’ve noticed something is wrong. I think I either have a parasite or an intestinal disease, because I feel an urgent need to go to the bathroom every like 20 minutes, which I know is not normal. In short, I’m pooping too much and it hurts my stomach, in a long explanation it feels like my insides are trying to start a revolution against my entire existence. My teachers have noticed I go to the bathroom more often, and I think they’ve started thinking I’m vaping in there or something instead of actually using the bathroom. My doctors think I might have IBS, which is likely considering a lot of my family has it, but I don’t think even that could cause issues this severe.

The main issue about this whole thing is that my mom isn’t taking me seriously, she thinks I’m lying to get out of school or skipping classes and blaming it on the bathroom, and she has a very good reason to do that because last year I had a mental health crisis and ended up missing a lot of school. How do I convince her I’m in pain and agony without her telling me I’m making it up? I can’t keep doing this, it’s gotten worse. I should also say I live in Canada so cost for medical bills isn’t an issue, she just doesn’t want to take me to a doctor because she thinks I’m lying. I can’t go to my dad because he’s a piece of crap, and the rest of my family probably wouldn’t take me to a doctor, so I need to talk to my mom on this. Any ideas? Has anyone else dealt with a similar issue with their parents ignoring health concerns? And if so how did you get the treatment you needed? I’m at a loss here and I’m in pain, I don’t know what to do.

[Self] should I add glass eyes?

I’m making some cat figurines and I have the option of adding glass eyes compared to normal eyes, should I go for it? It would look awesome but it would take longer unfortunately. I’ve sculpted cats before so it won’t take insanely long, probably adding an hour to my process while waiting for the paint on the eyes to dry.

How would a Sylveon evolve? Like this?

I haven’t seen the anime so my bad if this is actually shown in the show lol, but is there like a random love counter in eevees that evolves them into Sylveon? Expertly illustrated by me, I swear I know what a Sylveon looks like, I glanced at one for like 10 seconds lol
