PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!

Got a pattern for glisten down! still need to test it but I'm super happy! Can't wait to put it together and see how it goes. I still have to properly break down the pattern into a printable file but ill worry about that when i know the pattern works. Gotta also worry about his accessories but we're getting there!

More details under the cut!

decided to make glisten's foot in 3d to make a better pattern piece out of it, then sent it to adobe illustrator and traced it and adjusted it to make sure the pieces fit correctly. Gotta make sure it works though cause i only used plushify for 3d models, im worried it wont come out right

the rest is merely a matter of breaking down the pattern into front and back pieces so its pretty self explanatory.

besides that my main concern is making the joints functional but stable. theres also the thickness of the head compared to the body (since the body is only a front and back piece. but i imagine its an easy fix cause i can trim the side head piece. also the seam allowance might be too big but trimming should fix that.

already have the fabric ready for it too. I was gonna prototype it but im kinda impatient plus i imagine the adjustments ill need to do are minor so we ball.

im looking forward to finishing this project. Glisten is a huge comfort character to me and i wanted to make something that i can share with other fans and encourage sewing as a hobby. the pattern still needs some work i think but i look forward to sharing it with yall for free.

that said, please dont spread this around (yet) or try to profit off it. if you want to try out this pattern as it is right now, just be sure to credit me and let people know that pattern isnt finished and redirect them to this post (or some of my other ones) if they're curious. thanks yall

Still trying to figure out parts of the plush, namely the hair and feet rn.

while he's going to be jointed, i still want to keep this plush as simple as possible, so a lot of parts are two pieces (the arms, legs, and body) but im not sure how the feet will come out if its two pieces. So i may try to make something out of clay and get a pattern from that.

Wrists were originally supposed to be jointed but nah i dont want to complicate things, so ignore the line there.

the mirror with the face embroidery is gonna be a separate part sewed onto the rim (pray for me)

Hair is giving me the most headaches cause i abandoned the intial idea which you can see in the previous post. I was thinking about sewing on a back piece to the hair and stuffing it kinda like how you would do paw pads on a fursuit might actually make the back piece into the front piece instead so that the hair sticks out more and use embroidery to define the swirl. idk if that makes sense. Besides that I might give the bottom of the head a slightly flatter base so it stays on the body better.

Right now the plush is looking to be 15 inches so that some parts aren't too small to sew.

If y'all have any thoughts about it let me know.

Ok so just in case:

Folks, backup your Tumblrs, for real this time

We got zippers! Now all that's left is finishing the inner lining and custom pillow to stuff him with!

Welp, to cope with stress I have gone ahead and started designing a plush pattern for Glisten. He's kinda designed to work like a fashion doll where I can make him clothes and accessories. Think I'll make him jointed too.

Right now im using adobe illustrator to plan out the pattern since vector graphic make it easier to edit things and adobe lets you measure the length of lines in inches which helps with scale. (If yall know an alternative that can do the same thing please let me know).

Figured id keep yall updated on the plush making progress, right now glistens hair is stressing me out, im planning on using a technique similar to The-Crafty-Kaiju's method on Deviantart wish me luck, definitely gonna test it when i can.

Finished Liam's zippers btw, ill post a pic or video when i can.

Eyyyy Teagan my third favorte character! She's just a such a beautiful character and she has a super useful ability (got me to a high floor on a solo run). Anyway, watch her do a kickflip.

Wanted to design a sleepy skin for Glisten cause i love seeing the toons in their jammys (I doubt it would look like this is the game but let me dream.

Then there's a quick Twisted Glisten doodle, hes my favorite twisted in the game too. And finally had a silly little idea of a rescued Twisted Glisten putting on his sleeping gown as a treat. Side note if anyone has any good Rescued Twisted Glisten content lmk.

Fun fact, so far I've drawn two out of three of my favorite toons (Glisten, Looey, and ???) Can you guess who the third is?

Guess who just got into Dandy's World.... Anyway i like to think these two are friends.

@hiraethminds I love your sona, ive been wanting to draw them for awhile hope you like it

I finished the main parts of the patterns! All thats left now is to add some fake zippers since the real ones are too small to show up, finish the lining inside, and make a cushion to stuff him with when not being used as a backpack. I would make some process notes but im pretty tired and its all a blur by now, lemme know if you genuinely want some thoughts I can scrounge something.

I live, here's some rough pikmin stuff (I lost the file for the ship one though so im not sure if im ever gonna finish that)

Woah Updated ref for my fursona! Finally settled on the name Reese!

She's silly

Next progress pics! I just cut the lining for the inside of the backpack too so i think we're getting closer to the end of this project!

So I finally attached the back straps onto the back. The original ones i made were too small so I just used the rest of the material and cut it in half and sewed the end with a x box stitch. I then sewed the other end onto the actual backpack and sewed a strap of fleece on top to secure it better (hopefully).

For the bottom piece, I sewed it onto foam since it'll be dealing with the weight of whatever inside it. For the limbs I wanted to use actual parachute cord and knot it so I got to learn how to do a monkey fist knot for the hands. Forgot one knot I used for the feet lol but then i painted the ends black. So I attactched the oversized side pieces to the zipper and sewed a flap with the excess fabrice and then trimmed the rest to proper size to fit the bottom piece. I couldnt calculate how much I'd need to sew the fabric onto the zipper and the flap so it was easier to just use larger pieces and trim afterwards, though im started to wonder it i should have added the lining to the side pieces before sewing them onto the zipper but ill just have to wait and see.

So with all the major pieces done, I cut out the lining. I stilla have to finish the edges and take care of a few adjustments but i think im close to finishing!

While I'm working on the Liam plush, I wanted to show off a mini plush I made of Bryce! At the time I planned on making the whole ONE cast (besides Liam) as mini plushies and make the Liam Plush to carry all of his mini friends. Though I got a bit busy during college so I had to put that plan on pause. Now im not sure ill do the whole cast but I do want to still make Amelia. Also one of my besties found a bow that fits his cap so he wears it all the time lol.

Hey, you should watch ONE, though, you probably already did. Its a pretty cool show, its what actually got me into object shows.

Surprise! I'm making a Liam Plush that also (hopefully) works as a mini backpack! This is the progress I have so far but I started the project awhile ago. I'll be posting updates! Notes under the cut:

Part 1 The Front: embroidering the face was pretty fun but the pocket was one of the things that held me back for a while. Layering the edges of the fleece and zipper (you cant see it but its there) made it difficult to keep the whole thing steady and centered. I had to redo it a second time. If I were to do this again i need to find a better way to sew the pocket on. Part 2 The Back: The back is reinforced with a thin and flexible foam (as will the bottom) to help keep it sturdy but hopefully still plush. The strap that's attached behind the back straps wasn't part of the original plan but I worried that the straps could rip off. So I took a pause to cut out another strip for the bottom back straps that will be attached later.

Another delay was caused because I realized that the back straps wouldn't be long enough and i couldn't find my spare belt strapping by that time (Thankfully i found it eventually, hopefully the new bottom straps will be long enough so the backpack fits). Part 3 The Top (and technically the sides of the backpack): I was going to make the zipper a double zipper but it didn't work out and I didn't want to buy more (I have another solution in mind). Still need to sew on the other side but I'm proud at how the zipper is sewed for now. The pieces are larger than what they're supposed to be because I couldn't calculate how much fabric I should cut so I'll just cut it to it's proper size when I'm finished sewing everything to the zipper. There was quite of bit of planning and prototyping before I started this project too but maybe ill show it off another time.

My last render of the trio for now, taking a break to work on other stuff. It'd be cool to make a story with them someday (might rework the models first tho). I learned a lot and it was pretty fun!

Started watching CFMOT, I love this little muppet.

Cameron and Cordelle Turnaround! (watch till the end)

I like Filey. It's from a cool object show in the works called Battle for the Stage. This goober is one of my favorites.

@/forestfall.bsky.social on bluesky is actually looking for volunteers to help with acting, animation and more on their discord server!

Unfortunate News About Insomnia Video Part 2

So it turns out I can't use After Effects anymore until sometime in January (maybe the 15th), which was what I was using to make the Insomnia videos. I could try to pick up another software to finish the video, but I don't really know any free alternatives that could use a AEP file. While I still have the doodle dump and other things planned, I kinda still feel its necessary to do everything in order. I do have some other stuff to work on meanwhile unrelated to the AU, got other art to show off, plus I'm planning to pick up a sewing project Ive been putting off for a bit. I'll post some progress pics. I'm still planning on getting this stuff done, I've been pushing myself to get projects finished.

While I'm kinda set on this decision, I still want to hear your thoughts, maybe you'll convince me to do something.

Be nice though, I'm sensitive /j

Hai, I finished my second 3D Model! Thank you to

@madmadh.bsky.social for gifting me this design! I decided to give them new names, the camera dude with the legs and no mouth is Cameron, the screen with arms is Cordelle.

Also I have the 3D turnaround ready but I dont have After Effects right now so I need to figure out how to edit the video!

Also fun little fact, the duo becomes friends with Boxster!

Still planning to work on the second Insomnia video, here's a doodle meanwhile.

I also have a big doodle dump with designs and concepts that I'm sure you guys will like, once the video is finished.

Boxster Idle Animation Test. I rigged his little front flap so he could have some secondary action going on. Also added some vertex wobble. Grease pencil is kinda difficult for me to use but ill figure it out eventually (updated my blender version the for the first time so also had to get used to the new stuff and some bugs lol)

Woah, new character, and 3 dimensional!! I have an idea so I wanted to experiment with blender and cooked this guy up. Poor guy, has to face the horrors.

I headcanon that Cabby has to sleep "standing" up.

Still have a few of my felt creations that I've never showed off yet. I am ashamed to admit that I never finished Crown. maybe one day I'll get back to him. Charger Block needs his buddy.

Hey, you should watch Love of the S*n. All three parts of the first episode is out and I'm excited to see where it goes. Also CB and Crown are hilarious.

Made a silly music playlist for my Insomnia AU.

YouTube

InSomnia Playlist

Just some music that I can imagine as part of an imginary ost for the au.

It'll likely change over time, hope yall like it

Hnng, desire Cabby Plushie, I have the power to....
