Sat down over the weekend to sew some rosettes. They weren’t as obnoxious as I feared they would be, plus they’ve come out great!

I just realised I didn’t account for the crest movement when patterning! Oops, but fixed it!

This is a much better pattern! Look at that range of movement, so many wiggles. A few minor tweaks still, but none that will stop me ordering fur now!

Finished the mask modifications! The skull was way too flat at the front so I had to sculpt it out to get a more rounded shape. The grey stuff is apoxy sculpt to build out a flat surface to install the eyes (hot glue was too runny to successfully do a thick build-out, and I…
