A friend had been wanting a set of my paws for a while but didn’t want to ask because they knew how much work/$$ goes into them. So I decided that would be their Christmas present this year & got them to pick out fabrics from my stash. They’re gonna look sooo cute!

Marathon session with lots of accidental stabbing getting all the fingers aligned & sewn. No kidding, this is a finnicky pattern!

Base airbrushing is completed. Next step is to handbrush in some select dark details, perhaps hit some specific highlights with the airbrush, and put in the felt liner.

Glued up the cosplay helmet pattern (by Mellowmind on Etsy) that I use instead of a bucket head base. For some reason all the seams didn’t want to stick cleanly so there’s heap of filling I’ll need to do using foam clay. It’s also gonna need extensive modification so the kemono mask can be attached…

Progress on the parasaur premade! Eyelids & beak were painted and antiqued using atelier acrylics, then sealed with atelier gloss varnish. I’m also deciding on an eye colour and design; so far I’m leaning towards an oval or rectangular pupil with either dark/rich browns or a purple iris. Gonna do up a few more sets…

Last commission for the year for a returning client. 56 pieces for a tail and indoor feetpaw set to match a set of handpaws I made last year. Also, the purple fur arrived with a nigh unremoveable scent permeated into the fibres, which played hell with my sensory sensitivities & asthma. So there’s not going…

A lot of modifications later and I’m pretty happy with the form now. The eyes are just placeholders until I settle on a colourway design – until then, this is being set aside.
