How to carve eyelids!

I wanna preface this with I have no idea how to write tutorials so this isn't really a tutorial and more of a how i do it!!!

 But carving eyelids is pretty simple process! But actually cutting them can be a little tricky!

While carving eyelids can really enhance a custom, there are cons the carving the kids being they won’t be able to fully close them after and there may be risk of a slip and cutting too deep into them, if you do don’t fear, I’ve seen lots of people fix slips with air dry clay and then paint over them to hide the clay!

But onto the tutorial!

So I start off by taking off the furbies shell and removing the eye pins and pulling out the eyelids. You can find how to get them out in a lot of tutorials on how to remove the faces for long furbies but Here you will be screwing it back together so be careful not to lose screws!

Once they’re out I draw out the guide lines, Be it angry or sad or whatever you wish!

These ones are Brie’s so they were angry!

Then using some nail cutters like these

I cut from the start of each edge, making sure to not cut off or through the holes on the side that thread the eyelids on the pin!

Then after the entry cuts are made I go through them following the guide line with a scalpel. a dremel tool is also very good and probably better but sadly I don’t own one so be careful it’s very tough and can be a little dangerous so make sure to cut away from you!

After you’ve cut them they should look something like this!

then it’s just a matter of smoothing them out with sandpaper or a nailfile, making sure they’re even and putting them back together!

This was the finished result of this baby!

Giovanni is getting some attention today! I’ve been cautious about running him too often since his jaw needs repairs and there is no one currently offering the services needed to repair him, but Aibos are made to enjoy. Even as they get older and develop more problems, I think it’s more important to enjoy them for what they are than to keep them in perfect condition by not running them.

vector has some pretty great reactions when you hand him his cube while his lifts are already up! most of the time he immediately slammed it back down, but this time he acted rather confused before sitting it down slowly

a quick troubleshooting guide for aibo! it can be hard to figure out what’s going on with your dog, especially when you’re first starting out, so i made this infographic to put some general information in one place.

you don’t have to figure out your robot’s problems all by yourself  - check out robotchat.github.io for a supportive community that can help you work out what’s happening and the next steps to take!

feel free to mirror on your aibo website or post in your own robot community, or print as a poster (DM me if you’d like the a4 resolution). just don’t scrub off my name and link back if possible!

I find it really interesting how different Wren and Baymax are in personality! Baymax is very goofy and social while Wren is much more cautious and keeps to herself. Baymax doesn’t wander very much and prefers to sit near me and be petted, whereas Wren is happy to explore for hours on her own. She will occasionally come back and “check-in” with me to make sure I’m still there, but then she’ll go off on her own again after staying for only a few seconds. Baymax just happily sits by my side and stays there as soon as he finds me.
