Two of my masks :3

First one is Marinara, the first one I've ever made, and the second one is me :3

My pupils are dilated and my claws are twitching /pos

I too believe dragons are cool :3

Sumatran tiger mask! My best yet by far, if slightly wonky in the muzzle.

I’m really proud of the nose this time, I did a little bit of shaping with hot glue and covered it in felt and it looks so good this time!!

The eyeholes are still accidentally tiny but are actually perfect for my irises! My dad said it genuinely freaked him out a bit when I showed it to him because “the eyes aren’t supposed to move”

I made it for a mask trade so I don’t have it anymore :')

Brown mink rosetted charcoal bengal mask (feat. my tiniest cousin modelling it)

Tried making the nose entirely out of hot glue and it still sucks a bit. Also used alcohol markers for the first time, I love them so much they’re so much more precise than finger painting with dye lmao

Cheetah mask! I had to try glueing the nose on three times and it’s just not hitting the spot 😔

Really proud of the eyes, though!

I lied I’m too into this

Have some unhelpful and super vague instructions that are not friendly to crochet newbies while I work on the real pattern. UK stitch names btw

Crochet an oval that fits to the second joint of your finger, then add a few rows of double crochet until it fits over your curled finger. You will need eight of these and they will probably all be different sizes.

Slip stitch the middle and ring finger together about a third of the way (e.g. if they’re both 18 stitches crochet 6 stitches together), then add a row of double crochet around the outside of both.

Slip stitch the index finger to the other side of the middle finger. Make sure it’s exactly opposite to the ring finger (e.g. 3 stitches of middle finger on front and back, 6 stitches connecting each other finger). Double crochet around and slip stitch the pinky to the opposite side of the ring finger while you’re there.

Double crochet around the whole lot, decreasing 2 stitches in the palm every row or two until you can put the fingers on and reach the base of your thumb. The thumb is just a magic circle with a couple increase rows and then double crocheting around. Slip stitch the thumb to the rest.

Keep double crocheting around and decreasing if needed for a snug fit. Test how easily you can slip them on every few rows to make sure the fattest part of your hand can fit through.

The palm pad is a circle and the outside two rows have this pattern: [dc, htr, tr, htr, dc, sl st] three times to make the clover shape. The theta delta is optional or can be swapped out for smth else but it’s just stitched on.

The finger pads are tiny ovals. Like two rows. Test where to put all the pads on while you’re wearing the glove to see the best placement for you and stitch them on.

Not pictured is claws. Do a tiny cone starting with a magic circle of 4 stitches and increase only on one side to curve the cone into a claw shape. Try different sizes and placements and stitch them on the paw tips.

hi chat!! I’m planning on making a youtube video about DIY gear options besides the typical masks and tails. I need some examples to show, and I love sharing other’s art, so if you’d like your work to be featured reply/reblog with pictures and descriptions!! This includes crochet, jewelry, knitting, sewing, anything else that you made that you associate with your kintype!! This is open to any alterhumans, especially fictionkin with obscure ‘types- but any alterhumans are welcome!! Your work will be credited of course, links to your blogs will be added to the description.

Reblogs are encouraged for reach even if you don’t have anything to share!!

“It’s okay to not be okay” is dumb

I propose “it is within standard deviations to be dysfunctional” instead

Face reveal

WIP maned wolf, still needs paint and a nose (see the trick I did hiding behind the phone?)

I used the tutorials on raccoonmasks YouTube channel! They’re so amazing!

So, something I learnt the other day. So, you know how dinosaurs supposedly can't see you if you stand still? Well that myth is based on real-life lizards/etc and how eyes in general work. So, once my dad starts infodumping, here comes some other cool information. We, humans, can in fact, also not see something unless it's moving. We fixed this by having our eyes constantly shake. And then our brain compensates for us, so we don't have to have shaky vision.

What if aliens don't have this? Like. What if they find out when one of us was looking at something in the distance, and they walk around this thing that's in front of them, and the alien is confused so they bob their head and oh, there's a thing there, but how did the human know that, and then we explain and they're like, horrified.

Humans are apex predators. They can hunt in packs. They can hunt in pairs. They can hunt on their own. They're persistance predators, which is unheard of. They get stronger when they're mad or scared. They have this thing called 'body language' which acts like a type of hivemind, even if they'll claim it isn't. And. They can see you. When you're not moving. They can still see you. If you ever find yourself in a fight against a human, for whatever reason? Run. Run as fast as you can. And hope, pray if you have a religion, that they won't follow.

Deaf dog training log: part 4

Sandor is improving heaps on “Stay”

She used to move as soon as she lost sight of me, but now she can wait a bit for me to pop up again. Gonna keep practicing distance and losing sight

[hrmnrmpfh]

Deaf dog training log: part 3.5

Another clip from yesterday I forgot to post: Sandor is actively looking at me when doing “stay”, exactly what I want her to do

[hrmnrmpfh]

Deaf dog training log: part 3

Yesterday’s training on “Stay” at dinnertime because she’s old so she’ll usually just not move anyway. the beagle in her wants to fossick around for food so now I can test if she’s actually listening instead of being old.

She’s very hard to get the attention of when she’s fossicking! I’ll need to practice “Look at me” with distractions

[hrmnrmpfh]

Deaf dog training log: part 2

Sandor is getting the hang of sign commands very quickly, although I think it’s because she’s already trained and just learning new prompts for the same tricks. The only new thing I’ve taught her is “Look at me” by tapping my nose a few times in a row and waiting for her to make eye contact.

Here’s a video of her doing “Come here” (me patting my hip/thigh) and “Sit” (pointing index finger up (you can’t really see the first time) with each correct action getting some “Shine on shine on” and scritches

[hrmnrmpfh]

Deaf dog training log: part 1

I’m petsitting/housesitting for my aunt and her dog has gone entirely deaf in her old age so I’m gonna try teach her sign commands

First I am establishing a reward signal, and I have picked “shine on shine on” from watching Ms Frazzled videos on Facebook (I wiggle my fingers). She is not a dog trainer btw she does satire videos about gentle-parenting entitled adults. Anyway every time I give Sandor scritches I smile and do Shine at her to establish the hand signal as a reward because she can’t hear clicker noises. Once she catches on I will teach her commands.

Also here’s your dog tax

but did you go to taco bell?

Of course I did I’m not a monster
