Oh goodness, thanks, Mac!! <3
I'm really hecken' pleased that my infrequent dabbling with all these things are starting to actually kinda work out! x3

Also - I made some eye deets out of some foam clay! Going to let those dry, then plop them in place to hopefully manage the fur around the eyes better. x3

(If it works well, I'll probably do a similar thing for the lips!)

An earlier photo of the Kai mask, half as furred, with foam clay eyelid things.

Today's progress! Extra poofy at this point, but it's all part of the process~

Extra poofy pre-trim Kai head in progress!

Quick test fit of the poofy Kai mask. No I'm not excited why do you ask?

((Also, if anyone is wanting a cool and fun geometric animal mask like this for Halloween, I do highly recommend their shop!)) x3

Refurbishing my old @palaeosinensis.com mask that I'd put together (and covered in fur) back in 2018 I think?

Here it is now versus my last refurbishment attempt in 2022. (GOODNESS it's nice to have an actual fur trimmer now.) xD

Hot-gluing in new eyes on an old costume while waiting for other fur to dry while 3d printing more mesh - I don't understand where this productivity is coming from but I'm here for it.

Aaay, nice!! (I abandoned my moving jaw for now. T'was a roadblock I kept overthinking and redoing, and at this point I'm just wanting this done for MAYBE Halloween??) x3

Might be messing around with a thing again...! Also REALLY pleasantly surprised by how decent this 3d printed mesh works.

3d printed mesh cut out for an eye of a little Kai mask. Sitting on drying faux fur I'm trying to dye.

Completed mesh eyes on the to-scale 3d printed grey mask.

Me trying on the mask with freshly made eyes.

View through the mesh eye at my horrendously messy desk. (I'm doing all the projects at once, give me a break!)

Enjoying it quite a bit here.
Feels like a different planet~

As a substitute teacher, I know I can be a bit of a pushover sometimes... However, I just overheard a highschooler in a neighboring classroom say "It's Mr. [Kai]!" Followed by another highschooler screaming "YEEESSSSS" so I must be doing something right. xD

Kai! (Sticker Comms Open!) @kaithelion.bsky.social · 14d

I might need to start using those number candles... uwu;

A sketch of Kai, my lion, holding a cupcake with WAY too many candles - 29 to be exact - with billowing flames and smoke, setting off a smoke alarm in the background.

Also continuing in the #Wakfu theme, I participated in a contest on the French branch of the forum to draw the "Ultimate Nox" and managed to land among the 2nd place picks!!

This version is a mix of concept arts of Nox and his multiple show outfit, as well as a few does of Razortemps thrown in

Nox from Wakfu wearing a blue hooded robe and armor on his left arm. He channels wakfu to the Eliacube, which shows a minature version of his home.

Fall throwback! <3
(Not a real YCH, just imagine Kai ran into your char and spilled scalding hot coffee all over them~) uwu

A handsome Kai, my lion, getting up from the ground on a crisp fall day after running into the viewer, apologizing for running into you and saying that he didn't see you there. (I now have a new vision prescription since making this.)

The reverse shot of the previous, now looking at the YCH placeholder sitting on the ground weeping after being ran into and being covered in scalding hot coffee, dripping wet with the coffee cup still on their head and steam coming off them. (Ignore the rushed background)
