I haven't looked in my studio since I got home and I'm dreading it. Foam and thread scraps, fuzz, pins in the carpet, a saggy duct tape dummy taking up a quarter of my floor. I want to burn up some post-con energy but I can't! 🫠

Artistic interpretation of me getting a little too toasty on Sunday night at the waterfront. No regrets. I will miss you, #anthrocon πŸ’–

Our room at the Double Tree has a busted dresser and smells faintly of cigarettes but makes up for it with a walk in closet

One more sleep til Anthrocon!! Snickers will be in full regalia but I'll just be head, hands and tail. Not bringing the punk dragon unfortunately; she is hard to see out of and I haven't fixed her. Also I'm stressed as fuck

Cast as a block that I cut up with a craft knife. Not very elegant but I didn't have time for elegance! Automotive filler/primer gives the master a matte, sandy texture that I like in silicone. If I were to do this again I'd use d. skin 20 (That's not blood, it's just pigment.)

New nose for Snickers that allows airflow. I don't know why it took me this long to do that. Dragon Skin 10 in a mold made of the same. Original sculpt in Nomad/Blender. Same as Sassafras, just scaled up.

Thumbnail that started it all. I was planning to do multiple eyes from the start, and I knew I wanted "just flooded your keyboard with iced coffee" face.

The other two I have photos of. She also has sad, πŸ”₯determinedπŸ”₯, angry, and a πŸ’€cursedπŸ’€ set. What could that be? (I wish I had made closed eyes, but I ran out of time.)

I keep randomly remembering that I'm going to #anthrocon and I'll get to meet a ton of people in person for the first time. People I've known online for a decade. How exciting!!

I worked hard all month to get a new fullsuit finished in time for AC, but I decided today that I should just finish a partial. I taped up the bodysuit and can't muster the energy to start drawing my pattern. I want to take my time, I want this to turn out well. #fursuit

Aw man. It flips up at the center front, there's a big wrinkle diagonally on the sides, and the back flap is way too full. I think I need to add a triangle to the side seams, then take in the rear flap at the center. We'll see!

Glued and shaved. Needs a nose obviously. Need to add fluff inside the ears. The neck is a shit show and needs a lot of work... Don't know how I bungled that up so badly!

Once Dad quizzed me on the names of Pokemon by pointing to pictures of them in a magazine article. Took until recently to realize he was making fun of me. WHATEVER!!

I don't own a human sized turntable, which I think is my biggest issue. I was having difficulty getting between the legs, like inside of the thighs and calves.

I usually don't make big purchases like this on a whim and I'm having major buyers remorse. I suppose I could try to return it but the nice DHL man drove from Oakland to deliver it to me! I also really, really want these goddamned scans

So... I impulse bought a 3D scanner (revopoint range 2) to take full body scans of people to create digital mannequins. I tried it out last night and it wasn't instantly magic like I dreamed. I got really frustrated trying to scan my spouse. Hoping I'll have better luck with practice.

Sassafras originally had airbrushed stripes, except down her back and on her tail. I'm excited about using black fur instead. This photo is from 2016 when she was fresh, but the paint faded pretty badly. I had to touch it up a few times. Gonna simplify mackerel tabby a LOT.

Horrible picture but I'm really delighted with these Howl Teddy colors. The brown especially is very soft. I want to rub my face on it.

I get this all the time since I'm a fiber artist. I shut it down quick with a "no thanks, I'm done monetizing my hobbies," or "no, I like to keep it fun." If they press I throw out a high estimate of dollars I'd have to charge, that usually works!

Yes, it's an add-on you have to turn on under Edit>Preferences. It even printed at the right scale. I built it in paper, then simplified it for foam. docs.blender.org/manual/en/3....
