A cute white rat enjoying the beautiful fall colors of a backyard dogwood tree! After so many cats from me, it was time for a rat! Autumn is drawing to a close but the leaves have been so beautiful, really giving me morale.

Took a bit, sorry for the wait! Unfortunately I was not able to get to the clothes, but here is Part 1 the tutorial for the base penguin (doing this on mobile won’t let me post more than 10 images :P ):
First off, plan your colors ahead of time. That way you won’t run into a wall later if you don’t have a color for a certain part! I didn’t do it this time, but it helps to draw the figurine and map out the colors.
I’m making Aunt Arctic this time around :3
When I make these, I use a whole baggie of felt as to not make them too small. I also use different sized needles, but they’re only preferable, not required; one good needle will be fine.
Tear or cut away a couple small pieces of felt (make them as even as you can), and set them aside. They’ll be for the flippers.
Start tightening the felt to get a simple shape down (to make these I do not break the body into multiple shapes). As you do this, focus your jabs where you’d like the neck to be. I’m using Rookie here as reference. Ty for your service goofball
Keep doing this until the felt doesn’t give much when you squeeze it between your fingers.
technically still his birthday, so have this last minute b-day drawing Rookie! And the cupcake. And... the wrapper, I guess
do you think stellar and killian would take boxing lessons together. since they're basically twins at this point
It’d actually be pretty cool if they did before he became a hitman/villain-
I think he’d have enjoyed sparring with her, he does love a good fist fight too. Even after he lost his badge, he’d probably still would get excited if she’s the EPF agent he has to fight while on a job. I think he sees her as a sort of equal when it comes to strength and skill, much like how he feels about JPG (though with a lot less bitterness, he doesn’t have as much of a reason to hate her as much as he does Guy). He probably would ditch his gun for a hand-to-hand fight with her with very little persuasion lol.
Anyway, have a sketch of them about to fist fight in their EPF outfits
i'm on my period and this video made me weep with joy so here u go
Part 3 of a felted penguin tutorial
Once you have the flippers in your selected mold, use the needle to stuff it in there (note: I used a hard surface to take the picture, but do NOT do it on a hard surface. It won’t tighten it, at least not well, and it might break your needle. Use foam underneath, or any other soft surface you don’t mind getting holes in).
Switch back and forth from either side to make sure both sides of the flipper is tightening the same.
Make sure to keep a bit of loose felt at the ends of the flippers for attaching them in the next step.
Next merge the flippers with the sides of the penguin. This step is pretty simple! This is where I usually place the flippers, but you can place them anywhere you want really.
Here’s what we have now :3
Faceless, but looking pretty neat!
Let’s fix its facelessness. Take a bit of orange felt (I didn’t take a picture of how much I cut… whoopsies!) and place it just above the neckline. This is where you can choose your penguin’s expression. I’m giving her just a regular smile, but it can be anything you want!
I know it looks weird, but it’ll look better soon I promise.
Next take a bit more of your orange felt and wad it up in the middle of the expression you just made. I tighten it there, but if you find it easier you can create its oval shape before putting it on.
Shorten it as much as you can, and try to keep it between the line of orange felt you placed there before!
We’re almost done, should be able to finish in the next part!
nooooo i got my least favorite breed- like the one modern dragon i don't have in my lair lol
colors i got are ultramarine for primary, cyan for secondary, and crimson for tertiary. Okay, I accept the challenge >:3
bandwagon time. oops, you're a fr dragon now!
spin this wheel for your breed
spin this wheel 3 times for your colors (if you land on the space that says you're a double after already spinning once or twice for your colors, use the colors you already have as your x and y)
Bonus, try to scry your combo.
(I made a forum game of this post, if you want to play along there)
Here's what I got: pearlcatcher, brown/stonewash/tarnish
“starry night” this, “café terrace at night” that, when are we going to talk about “two rats” by vincent van gogh?
