Love looking at fanart of red guy love that the way people draw him is on a scale like this

#I lean towards beast but try to keep sort of fabric like #give him some little stitches and seam lines <3 #ALL versions are good btw don’t get it twisted #I love him in any shape #dhmis #red guy #my art

he's not even that light impulse is just really strong

#[elsewhere skizz is hit with a sudden inexplicable compulsion to teach the whole server about maslow's heirarchy of needs] #my art #tangotek #impulsesv #hermitcraft #taken completely by surprise by how much fun i'm having with the ambiguously-on-fire hair #random thing but i've actually been putting effort into drawing *fewer* fabric folds recently #it's one of those things i get like. stuck in #and i want to Simplify the Shapes #but do u guys understand. tango just has digitigrade vibes #vital to his character that he be able to scamper and clamber at a moment's notice #honestly the idea of designing shoes for nonhuman feet is super interesting #i defaulted to pseudo-claws cuz like..that's what they'd be used to using for traction? at the very least seems rude to remove that option

#columbo #season 4 #negative reaction #you mean positive reaction. to what i am seeing on my screen #peter falk was so good at making a shirt and tie look like pajamas in a good way #the slouchy fabrics. the coordinated colors. so well tailored they look to be part of him #just give him a fedora shaped nightcap and send his ass to bed

the red that flows underneath (bloody version under the... cut. lol)

#midori yttd #shadowart #blood #self harm #now for the rambling! #i do hc that shin cuts but what i wanted to parallel here was the cuts and midori's scarf #the crescent shape of the fabric folding mimicking that of a wound... #the fact that midori has lost most of his humanity and likely does not even bleed in areas #while shin cutting is proof that he is alive #i think he isn't sure why he wants to prove this to himself #i think something about his connection with midori gives him... something like delusions about his own realness #midori probably rambles about what it means to really be alive. to really be human. i think this scares shin #purposefully and nonpurposefully #i also like to think that shin is desensitized to blood #that's all i really wanted to convey. hopefully there will be some that enjoy this macabre art

day 99

i have NEARLY finished the skirt for my ren faire fit i just gotta get a few finishing details added and also get the undershirt bleached (bc i got a bunch of makeup on it at last years fair and shit Stained) but THEN i can show yall the final fit!!

#day 99 #year 5 #aradia megido #homestuck #its gonna be cute #i was so fucking stressed abt this one because like. #i bought my fabric and i was like oh yeah dude this is toooootally more than enough for a circle skirt #went to finally cut things #realized i only had enough for a half-circle skirt and it would end up with a bunch of weirdly-shaped scrap at the end #(ie i would have to do a bunch of weird piecing to make the waistband and pockets and such) #and like honestly a half-circle skirt was NOT enough volume for me i need my skirts swooshy #so i was like well. okay. i think i can optimize my fabric usage more if i draft a paneled skirt #but this of course required..... Math. #and unfortunately. i was an art major. so. there was a lot of struggling #BUT I DID IT. THERE WAS STILL A LIIIIITTLE BIT OF PIECING THAT HAD TO BE DONE BUT IT IS MINIMAL AND CAMOUFLAGED PRETTY WELL #and also this is for a ren faire primarily bc i dont wear a lot of skirts in day-to-day #SO. economical fabric usage is absolutely period accurate. even though none of the rest of my outfit or techniques are. #basically all thats left for me to do is add pockets and the closure at the back #i meant to add the pockets as i was doing the main construction but i got too excited and forgor #so theres gonna be some seam ripping but nothing too bad

Workin to make up a more personalized warrior armor for Hilda (as i did Leonie n Lorenz)

Happy with most of the shape elements P: > still stuck on colours tho n whether i want it; 1) more in the direction of her unique post timeskip outfits. 2) more aligned to her 3Hopes warrior pallet.

#fe3h #hilda valentine goneril #fire emblem 3 houses #Mostly looked at her wyvern rider tcg art and combined it with main shapes of the existing warrior costume #while adding some notes of her 3Hopes unique look #also maybe add the goneril crest somewhere #all i know is the green + torn frayed fabrics was not really doing it #warrior #doodles #fanart

sick and tired of seeing people use zip ties for boning. listen to me i am a costume designer stop using plastic which does not hold your shape (the whole point of boning) you do not need to buy proper coiled boning or anything: go to a hardware store and find flat metal tension spring (google tells me that's what it's called, unfortunately i also don't know what its used for in hardware store related things so i cant describe it if that isnt the correct translation, soz) you can get a roll of 15m x 4mm tension spring for about 15 euros where i live and then you just have to cut it with metal shears (you can use a regular cutting pliers probably but if you have metal shears you will be happier) then either file down the edges a bit if you're genuinely gonna wear it a lot, or you just wind some tape around the edges to make sure putting them in the channels isn't gonna rip your fabric and anyway now you have an actually functional boned garment. go to a hardware store and show them this pic btw:

^ this is what you want. also bc this is 4mm wide around stress points like closures you want to make 2 channels right alongside each other and put in 2 pieces of tension spring for stability

#seriously zip ties are so bad for anything you want to do with boning and like i get why people use them and i DO get that most ppl dont #actually want a corset in terms of shape restriction but then im just like. use a different fabric that's stiff and is gonna look structure #just by the fact of it being a thicker fabric and you putting a bunch of seams in it #and if you want it for underwear USE TENSION SPRING BONING ANYWAY its just better in every way than plastic nonsense !!! #costuming #cosplay #sewing #historical costuming #idk dude im not on costuming tumblr just. stop it. i hate that im writing 'listen up tumblypoos' posts but like #i just got an instagram reel with ziptie boning and its like. a) if you dont know about zip ties by now its too late and b) use tension spr #-ng. this was like some dude also who thinks himself a fashion designer like baby girl i know you are not actually designing with zipties #ok. tumblypoospost over

Finished a sweater today so I get the joy of putting it in my bathroom sink to create Soup

^ soup

#the bee speaks #knitting #knitblr #it’s so I can leave it out to dry later and even out the fabric and alter the shape of the garment a bit #it also releases some dye so. tomato soup

big man big fan

#splatoon #splatoon 3 #inkling #big man #flosart #hes so hoodie shaped it was an easy conversion #alright i have to finish an essay now lol bye (HE MAD!) #update: ty for 100 notes! :D i will note that i made this design in the perspective of how convenient id be for me to sew it #so it is relatively simple its just a hoodie with big sleeves and a shaped hood #the hardest thing (to me) would probably be the patterns on the fabric but you could always paint it on!! #im particularly fussy about my sewing projects... so id prbably do sublimation printing #though AGAIN. painting is always an option and whenever i see painted clothing it looks cool af. im just BORING!!! #back again like a day later i just realized you could just cut out fabric pieces in the shape of the pattern and sew them on #and itd have like a quilted (??) sewn on kinda look #thatd be so cute

[dollsahoy]

I mean, c'mon, people. I'm middle aged and have presbyopia, you young 'uns're who should be seeing all the tells in generative images, not me 😅

#like i said though #a lot of those images i catch because they are confluences of a LOT of my special interests over the years #'that's not from 1983 because the model's body shape was not trendy then' tipped me off in another case #and so so many 'the fabric shown did not exist in the time period claimed' or 'fabric does not behave like that'

The okapi plushie prototype is done! There’s a few things I’ll change for the next version (the slope of the back, the shape of the neck, things like that) but I think she turned out pretty darn cute!

#sewing #handmade #plushie #okapi plushie #floppy okapi plushie #I also stuffed this waaaay more than I should have to get the affect I wanted #but I needed to stuff it to get the body shape right #so streamlining that a bit next time #I think this head shape might be pretty decent for a boar or maybe a javelina? #so maybe version two will be a boar #there’s many things I could improve on on this pattern but I love the ears and I love how the fabric colors worked #there’s poly pellets in the ends of the legs so they are very satisfyingly floppy when you move the plushie #I did not add a tail but I still can. and I might? I haven’t decided yet

Pros of knitting a round yoke colorwork sweater from the top down:

Can try it on as you go and make sure it fits

No seams to sew

Small number of stitches to cast on initially

Cons:

Fucking none, it's a perfect sweater format

Pros of knitting a round yoke colorwork sweater from the bottom up:

Can use a sleeve as a swatch to double check your gauge and color harmonies, assuming there is colorwork on the sleeve cuffs

The yoke is often the most exciting part and leaving it for last is satisfying

Cons:

Had to use like 5 different needles to get the sleeve stitches off of waste yarn and join them to the body, playing a game of absolute musical chairs with interchangeable needle tips

Can't easily try it on as you go so you've just gotta hope you didn't screw up too bad and that it'll fit when you're done

Danger of running out of one or more colors of yarn at the yoke, which is arguably the most important part of the design

Gotta sew up the little underarm holes when you're done

I know I already pointed out that you can't try it on as you go but I will bring it up again as I believe it is the most salient point here

What if you bind off too tight and can't get the collar over your head? What then???

In conclusion why do my friends keep letting me knit sweaters from the bottom up

#the bottom up sweater hater has logged on #don't even get me started on seamed sweaters #you are making the fabric!! it can be any shape why would you choose to sew seams!! #“livali it adds structure and stability” i am not listening to you i am over here knitting a sweater i don't have to put together twice #or i would be if i didn't keep falling in love with bottom up patterns #HEAVY SIGH #knitting #me posts #getting disproportionately irritated by niche fiber arts hobby concerns

Do Birch and Alder ever learn of what happened to Misty? Actually, how would stolen kits (I feel like there’s an actual term for this but I forgot) throughout clan history in general feel about their… stolenness (I mean, that is if they ever learned about it) sorry if this is worded poorly hah

There was an old word for Stolen Kits before its outlawing; Honor Child. Kurrnia in Clanmew. They are not called that word anymore.

Through history it was a very bloody thing. Those children got harshly indoctrinated, and the "6 month" apparentice age originally came because that was thought to be the "age of loyalty".

that's just a cutesy way of saying it's harder to brainwash teenagers than children, by the way. To the point where it's not worth it to try.

When Birch and Alder found out, they're going to be old enough to get the "justifications." That they were won fairly, their mother was threatening them, that they were "saved." Petal Claw is the only parent they've ever known at that point... so, they were happy to take those excuses.

I don't think it lasted forever. I want them to both eventually leave SkyClan and find their dad, who desperately misses Misty. BUT, I want one to remain.

Because, that individual is going to get used as an excuse for why Kit Claiming is a viable solution to the Law of Loyalty later. The others are ignored.

In the Code Era and beyond, it's an accepted part of their culture. It's something talked about openly, framed as being taken by STRONGER warriors. Why would you go back to someone who was too weak to keep you?

That would be a terrible choice, so they say, because then you would be part of a worse Clan. It's a normalized part of their culture. So it's very rare that a Stolen Kit ever went back.

One less warrior for them. One more warrior for us.

This is as psychologically damaging as you think it is. "Honor Children" were notoriously violent to prove their loyalty. Their birth family would suffer guilt and pain for years, seeing them as adults and apprentices of other Clans, often stealing from other Clans themselves to fill empty nests and assure their own worth as warriors.

Parents and kits would die in these events. Kits trying to get home, parents laying down their lives to stop raids. Darkstar herself lost a sister, Aspentail, and still had two out of three of her nespring stolen. Only Perchpaw remained.

It was a long, bloody period in their history. The Queen’s Rights started a new era.

Fire Alone cats don't think it went far enough.

#clan culture #better bones au #Tw child abuse #Tw indoctrination #Kit stealing #I feel like I've tried to stress how horrible this was before but I'm not sure if it's landed. It was sick. #It was absolutely awful #And if you look closely at the fabric of modern clan culture you will still see its influence #Its scars and its shape. #Not every consequence is all bad. But the majority of it is and no one is better off for the practice
