Nervous Stitch

Hi there @Zmei-Kira, It's great you want to display your friend's artwork, but Octavia's Hall is used to display only your artwork! I've locked this topic, but if you would like to create a blog about your friend's artwork, that would be just fine!

Hi there @DaringDoNot, Since you're showing off some art you've done yourself, I went ahead and moved your topic to Other Fan Works.

Fun topic! A lot of larger plushies do have skeletons, but not ones that allow for such movement, as far as I know. Few different types of things come to mind! Once you hit a certain threshold of size, fabric and stuffing kind of collapse upon themselves and have trouble creating natural support. One of my favorite examples of a "skeleton" is from Nazegoreng, who used to have a journal stepping through her process of assemblage...inside the plush is a static PVC pipe skeleton for support. Super cool, but doesn't really get the motion you're speaking about. Aside from wire (which you hit right on the head with material fatigue), a mix of the idea of Ball-Jointed Dolls and teddy bears could create a fairly functional skeleton. A well stuffed plush is fairly strong, and could be a "bone" - the only issue you'd have is with joints. Using the concept of ball and socket joints from BJDs (although, I've not seen a ball and socket joint meant for that use..not entirely sure how you'd implement it!) and cotter pin joints from teddy bears (spinny joints, easy to use) you could create a fairly functional skeleton. Only huge issue I see presenting itself is the lack of stretch surrounding ball and socket joints...like if you've ever had a look at knees and elbows, all that flappy skin allows for the bend...and flappy plushie skin might look worse than knees.

Working on Rarity for Oobrony for his MCM raffle win as of late. I've been doing a ton of redecorating, so I came across some of my old plushies that have never seen the light of day. I'm not a person awesome with words, as much as I like to type a ton of them. Sometimes I pick up doing different crafts or arts, and then get frustrated after a week or so and stop doing it. On the rare occasion (read: once) I stick with a craft, the improvement that can happen in a short amount of time is nuts. Nice opportunity for a little bit of reflection. Still lots of improvement to go.

Hi there @@peteryork124, Since you're looking for some help with a video related project, I went ahead and moved your topic on over to the Video Creative Resources subforum. Hope you get some good info!

Hey there , The Request Guild is best for offering and receiving free artwork. Since you're seeking some animators, I went ahead and moved your topic to the Video and Animation section of Creative Resources. Hopefully you can find some help there!

That's alright! Knowing it's based off your profile picture is still something. I see you edited your original post. Much better! Hope you find an artist!

Just expanding upon what you're trying to request Adding images of your character you already have for reference, or a vivid description can help an artist out a lot!

Hi there @Fresh, Since you're requesting some artwork, I moved your topic to the Request Guild. Also, keep in mind that the more information you provide, the more likely an artist will draw something up for you! I would include some kind of reference of your OC, at least.

I'm well! Checking out Blade and Soul right now, some MMO my brother likes. Nice to meet you!

Waldo is in all of us. -_- It wouldn't be any fun if he wasn't hiding. I'm fresh out of conspiracy theories!

Hi there @arftbmrf, Since you're looking for some help with an art project, I've moved your topic over to Creative Resources, Visual Art section. Hope you can get some good advice!

Hey guys! Since joining up on staff, I figure I should make myself a pretty open book. I don't post an awful lot on a lot of different topics, but I sure do read them all While I did have my Q&A awhile back, it couldn't hurt to have an Ask thread...I only ask that questions be forum appropriate and directed at Nervous Stitch the person, rather than Nervous Stitch the pony! I'm not sure if you could get an answer out of Nervous Stitch the pony! I'd love to get to know a fair bit of you all, so ask away! If you're a little shy, feel free to shoot me a PM as well.

Hi there @Jokootle, Since you're looking for some help with a creative project, I went ahead and moved your topic to the Other section of Creative Resources. Hope you can find some help there!

To attach an image, be sure to click on the advanced "Upload Files + More Reply Options" button, instead of making a quick reply. Then, pick "Choose File" below the text box, select your file and finish off by clicking the "Add to Post" button near your image. I went ahead and made some photo-steps for you, just to be fully clear! If the steps above fail, try using the button directly under the "Choose Files..." button titled "Try our basic uploader" and follow the similar steps above. If you still can't get images to upload, feel free to send me a PM or make a post in the Tech Support Section so I or the other staff can help you out!

Hiya @iceestarz, Since you're just showing off your amazing art skills "doodles" :okiedokielokie: rather than seeking some art tips, I went ahead and moved your topic to Pony Artwork -> Visual Art.

Hi there @Reprise, The Pony Artwork section is a sub-forum for artists to display their own artwork. For this reason, your topic will be locked. As an alternative, feel free to explore the blog system, which is better suited for an art dump of artwork by others. ------------- I really enjoy your OC and your boyfriend's anthro style, by the way. I've never realized how few OCs have septum piercings!

Hey there , Since you're looking for some free artwork, I went ahead and moved your topic to the Request Guild and tagged it appropriately. Feel free to create another topic in Creative Resources -> Writing and Fan Fiction if you would some feedback on your fan-fiction!
