 | Snapped this road sign en route to my boyfriend's house.  |
 | Here's the icon for my Creatures Tumblr askblog, Ask A Norn. You likey? |
 | Wooo! I've finally finished making my pattern! The only thing I can see to fix right now is that the arm needs to be a tiny bit shorter. But other than that, I'm done! I can start making plushies now! I tried to make it as accurate as I could, and I think it worked pretty well! I'm very happy. ^.^ <3 The first plushies I will be making will be a male Bruin Norn and a male and female Apple Norn pair, because they are the simplest I can find concerning the fur patterns.
All of my plushies will be for sale, and I will donate 20 percent of the sales from my plushies back to Creatures Caves to help keep it running well. Let me know if you're interested! |
 | Steve was feeling lonely as all the other ball-joint dolls in the house are large, scary and expressionless to him. Enter Theo the Curious Norn.
Steve: You are mine now. I say so.
Theo: Eem choking... Eem hit Hand.
Steve: I regret nothing. |
 | Here's the progress I've made thus far! As you can see, I have improved a lot upon the first, messy pattern. I have lifted and firmed the muzzle, added more volume to the body to give it a more plump and anatomically accurate appearance, and stitched the ear on so it's more spread out this time.
I love the results so far! I'm excited to make the limbs! |
 | I have been spending the last few hours creating my own pattern for making Norn plushies; I want it to be as anatomically accurate as possible. This is the first test of the pattern, minus the limbs; I want to see how the shapes look in three dimensions, so I can decide what changes I need to make to the pattern.
This pattern test was made with cheap felt, embroidery floss, and sharpies. I was not at all concerned with the quality of the stitches, or seams, because the only purpose was to check the 3D shape. There is only one ear because one is all I needed to see, and there are no limbs because I just haven't gotten to those yet. xD |
 | Just a doodle I did in a program called Artweaver. It's nothing special, but it is my tribute to Creatures 2 (because some of the breeds on that game are crazy but brilliant). So, yeah, nothing special. |
 | Recovered from Lake Uncanny is an example of the male counterpart to the female Balloon Molly Ettin that was posted some time ago.
While the tail and the webbing between the "fingers" remain the same, note that the rest of the finnage is more angular than the females. If the original creators had a reasoning behind this somewhat obscure difference between the adults of this breed it most certainly has been lost in the passage of time. (Very much like why they decided to create and perpetuate the breed in the first place, in spite of the troubled health caused by such obvious deformities.) |
 | Evewr wondered what's behind the sunflowers and other background plants in the garden in Albia? Albian ReGenesis will show you this and more. |
 | Here's one part of the Albian ReGenesis bacground that I hope we'll all enjoy as a playable DS/C3 world some day soon(ish). |
 | I told you that I dove headfirst into the depths of Lake Uncanny! (Scribbled on my phone in the free version of Autodesk's Sketchbook Mobile.)
In profile view this is the Balloon Molly ettin, an adult female to be specific. The main difference between the genders are in the fins. The fins of the males are more angular while the females are rounded. Because they are already big-bellied the only way to tell if a female is pregnant is by the color of her belly; the darker the belly, the further along that she is.
Thanks to careless breeding by aquatic enthusiasts the big-bellied trait is one of a few genetic defects in this aquatic breed, going hand in hand with a deformed spine. They are prone to digestive and reproductive difficulties and may develop problems with swimming. In spite of this they are sociable and enjoy eating. |
 | Based off one of DarbyDoo's dreams. Someone make this an actual breed, please? I would but I can't do genetics or sprites! |
 | A cute, little White Haired Pixie Norn. I wish I had Creatures 1, but I don't, so I'll just sit here and complain. D: |
 | Concept idea for a C1-style Egyptian jackal Norn. |
 | It all started with me playing with the sprites using the pencil tool in Paint.NET. One item on this image is explosive. ![[nscared] [nscared]](/images/smilies/emot_scared.gif)
