Completed all the base modifications for Miwak. Eyes were drilled with bases re-sculpted, eye vents enlarged, jowls heat formed, nose vents drilled, jawset installed with gums sculpted, and all hardware attachments drilled in. Time to do some painting!
-
Almost finished another pre-made. I’m really happy with this pattern, it’s officially my go to now.
-
Paw parts and a tail gore piece all ready for install on their respective pieces. Doing all this took a goodly few hours and several mis-spooled bobbins
-
I am continuing on my quest to generate a ‘perfect’ bear paw pattern. We’ll see how this new pattern test goes. If it doesn’t meet my standards for a bear paw I think i’ll try modifying MissrarsCreatures 5-finger pattern.

I’ve been doing some experimenting with making eyes. I have discovered copic markers blend out well under E6000 glue, and adding Derwent Inktense pencil details over the copics creates a beautiful semi blending effect. The Inktense pencils also blend with the copic colourless blender
-
Working on another pre-made tail, just because. This one is a king cheetah.
-
Have got all the base/tone colours down and started on the feather barring on the wings. Next up is doing all the barring on the butt/leg/chest feathers.
-
A few hours later and I have a forehead section ready for mask attachment. The pet mesh prevents the fur sagging into the crest rig. The rolled edge creates a more natural looking finish whilst helping to hide the gap between the crest and hood. Also sewed the eyebrows into place along the unrolled edges…
-
Did some work on these paws over the weekend. I have decided I definitely hate this blue fur as it’s so darn slippery!
-
Finished off all the machine sewing on the hood; zipper install and edge finish. I am never prepared for how many pins a simple task inevitably needs!
