Part 2 of a felted penguin tutorial

When you are done making the base shape, it should look a little like this. Make sure to focus on the upper half to make the neck more prominent.

Next up is the white belly. Keep in mind this step can be skipped if you’re sure that clothing will cover it up, but I do it anyway in case the clothing fits differently than I originally thought. This is also where I switched from my bigger needle to my medium needle.

Either way, make sure to cut/tear a small bit of white felt to set aside for the eyes.

Place a bit of the white felt on the front of the penguin (you can add more if some of the base still shows underneath), shaping it as you tighten it. Be sure to keep it below the neck to leave room for the beak, and to get it as flat as possible.

If you accidentally tighten it in the wrong spot, you should be able to nudge back into place with your needle, or pull that spot out with your fingernails to start over.

Now’s where we work on the flippers. You can always just add on the felt as is to the sides of the penguin, like I did with Rookie, but I’ll show how I make the flatter flippers anyway.

You can use anything as a mold, feel free to get creative with it! For my flippers, I use this spot of a paw print mold.

Another part coming… bear with me here!

Uh, realized i haven't talked about Killian yet on this blog, so ima yap about him rq for context. Backstory here, there's a TLDR so you can skip lol:

Basically, he's an EPF traitor. Formerly a tactical agent that specialized in the water, he lived for danger and a challenge; to him, saving the island from threats was the greatest challenge he could overcome, and this was why he joined the EPF in the first place. Due to his headstrong attitude, him and JPG found themselves partnering on more and more missions, and a friendship quickly formed. Guy took the skies, and K took the seas. They were inseparable... well, except for a minor divide in beliefs.

While JPG is generally very by the book, Killian didn't exactly agree with the EPF's rule to refrain from using violence against suspects unless absolutely necessary; it didn't bode well with his short temper. He was reprimanded countless times for a few broken beaks, though JPG always tried to stand up for him. That was, until a certain goof started to get closer to Guy. Initially, K and Guy agreed... Rookie was an idiot, and didn't belong in the agency. But the more Guy got to know him, the more he began to grow a soft spot for the Rookie... so, the more K bullied Rookie, the further a wedge was driven in the relationship of the two tactical agents.

The last straw came when Killian was reprimanded once again by the Director, and he found out that JPG had been the one to report him. Rookie had, even if he didn't know it, helped Guy to realize how much of a bad influence K was.

K was furious. By the time the Future Party rolled around, he had reached his boiling point, and decided to do something drastic... in the form of a giant robot.

TLDR, him and JPG were partners, K constantly broke EPF rules, Rookie helped Guy see he's not a good guy, K started giving classified info to UP10K, lost his badge, and became a hitman to satisfy his need for danger / try and save the island in his own way.

He sometimes works with the island's villains, but with the mindset that he'll get rid of them himself once the EPF is taken down. Yeah, he's that cocky.

Who’s that Pokémon?
