Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

How to carve eyelids!

How To Carve Eyelids!

I wanna preface this with I have no idea how to write tutorials so this isn't really a tutorial and more of a how i do it!!!

 But carving eyelids is pretty simple process! But actually cutting them can be a little tricky!

While carving eyelids can really enhance a custom, there are cons the carving the kids being they won’t be able to fully close them after and there may be risk of a slip and cutting too deep into them, if you do don’t fear, I’ve seen lots of people fix slips with air dry clay and then paint over them to hide the clay!

But onto the tutorial!

So I start off by taking off the furbies shell and removing the eye pins and pulling out the eyelids. You can find how to get them out in a lot of tutorials on how to remove the faces for long furbies but Here you will be screwing it back together so be careful not to lose screws!

Once they’re out I draw out the guide lines, Be it angry or sad or whatever you wish!

These ones are Brie’s so they were angry!

Then using some nail cutters like these

How To Carve Eyelids!

I cut from the start of each edge, making sure to not cut off or through the holes on the side that thread the eyelids on the pin!

Then after the entry cuts are made I go through them following the guide line with a scalpel. a dremel tool is also very good and probably better but sadly I don’t own one so be careful it’s very tough and can be a little dangerous so make sure to cut away from you!

After you’ve cut them they should look something like this!

then it’s just a matter of smoothing them out with sandpaper or a nailfile, making sure they’re even and putting them back together!

Loud Lime Tutorial
Loud Lime Tutorial

Loud Lime tutorial

so everyone really likes Loud Lime, my Furby I made in response to the huge influx of people enjoying the Juicy Grape and Tart Tangerine models. Here is how I did it.

Need:

water

acrylic paint

a cup or something to put paint in

another cup for more paint

a clean toothbrush

lots of paper towels

a hair drier (this is recommended but not that important, it just dries the paint faster)

a clean, flat workstation like a table

most importantly, a Furby!

so how I did mine was I took this:

Loud Lime Tutorial

a standard Tuxedo Furby

make a dime sized spot of paint in your paint cup

pour two tablespoons of water into the paint cup

stir it with something until it looks like you’ve got a whole cup of the color paint you poured in

ok and then dip the paintbrush in the mixture

*make sure to wiggle the extra paint off, drip drop it back into the cup*

>>>> brush brush brush! where you want the color to be, scrub scrub scrub at the area until Furby has a completely new fur color and no white fur is left

after the scrubbing, review your work; is there….

spots that aren’t colored in?

globs of paint in one area of fur?

paint where where shouldn’t be?

that’s okay because the next step involves gently patting your Furby’s fur with paper towels

get the extra paint off, so it isn’t all wet, should just be a lighter version of the full color you want

hair drier it for 5 minutes while brushing it with a comb/cat brush/brush

OR: wait for like 10-15 minutes. occasionally check to see if the fur is still soft and the texture feels good. brush your furbs fur!

step #3: once your Furby is dry, repeat everything i just told you to do.

>for the ears, just brush a thin layer of paint over the pink, it’s the easiest part

step #4: the faceplate

i used q-tips, those cotton swab on a stick things & dipped them in just regular paint to paint on the faceplate and eyelids. it wasn’t easy.

enjoy your Furby

i hope this helped lol
