New Races

The Bauk & Nezhits:

The Bauk, they are a tribal people who used to worship their ancestors and the land. Then Their Black Star revealed itself to their shamans.

They switched their allegiance to it, and worship their savior and leader with zeal. Worship of their ancestors and nature is still allowed by their benevolent lord.

Their planet Zathura is rich in toxic elements and they refuse to sell to outsiders. Though their sister race sells to anyone they can. Their sister race the Nezhits refuses to worship The Dark Star. Tensions are so high that The Council advises no one trade with them. The Bauk are xenophobic and Nezhits have been known to rob tourists. Civil War is more or less an assurity.

The Chol:

In the same star system as Zathura is another planet called Luxaria. This planet is home to the noble people called Chol.

They are a beautiful and wise people. They are the ones anyone goes to for high end weaponry, clothes, or jewelry.

They are a polytheistic people split among 4 city states. They are great allies to the Malakim but refuse to get involved in their civil war.

In other words:

Bauks = Orcs/Ogres/Trolls

Nezhits = Goblins/Dwarves/Gnomes/Haflings

Chol = Elves (all of them)

funny refs to help me flesh out my blendy pen abomination

so this is a strange lookin cat reptile thing. this is my ttr character blendy! she is a mess. More information below

she/her

species is a cat, but the reptile body is a mystery

can change appearance, color, and shape to an extent (i doubt she's capable of morphing into an object lmao). for example, can grow wings but kind of sucks at flying

robot freak

doesn't really use gags... likes to tease them robots without actually killing em

former resistance member. didn't like the responsibilities given to her. deserted and started a career as one of the cogs!! a traitor unbeknownst to the toonies :V

""suit"" form

he/they

have yet to think of a name for him, or if he's still referred to as blendy.. im not sure

is an advocate, apparently...

sacrificed his tooniness to learn how to attack like a cog! knows how to hurt where it counts now

despite that, still tries to avoid toon confrontation if possible

working hard and making a good rep for himself! except of course he overworks himself since he's not a machine.

still likes to tease robots

and more funni blenby doodles gheheee

under the surface, there's a lotta resentment

so the cat reptile part.. dont think she was born like that...

keeps to herself, didnt reveal much of herself and her abilities when in the resistance. in fact, was pretty inactive there

can change into more vicious forms, but overall strength doesn't increase aside from.. sharper claws.. its more for intimidation i guess. other than that she's not physically strong i'd guess

didn't seem to wanna destroy cogs beforehand, but after being one and being subjected to gags? painfully irritating. relatable now

state of being emotionally drained, still cracks the funny wits and snarks but is easily annoyed

can't keep up with cog efficiency, but doesn't want to return back to goontown... feels like she lost her innocence.

tries to stay hidden from goontown altogether, stress and the like cause her to lose the basic toony composure pretty often.

dont know too much bout blend's postion as a cog...at all..... but im guessing he's good at plotting invasions and assigning the right calls for big robot takeover

still a lot of variables i need to figure out, like what made her ditch, and what the suit form's operations are. maybe I'll be lazy and say it's all their little secret

so that's it really. maybe ill add more to her later on? sorry the thoughts are botched and all over the place. anyway thanks for reading about my cartoon cat gator demon from a childhood game with happiness and jokes as the literal focal point of the game

rosenmarille’s embroidery tutorial

hey anon you made my entire week and i love you

Let me preface this by saying that I’m in no way an expert and I’ve literally only been doing this for less than a month, so most of what I do is making it up as I go along. hopefully you find my tips helpful though!! <3

I wasnt sure which part you wanted to know about so i made a rundown of everything from start to end

1) List of things you’ll need:

Embroidery frame (I just went to the nearest crafts store and got them in two sizes. Theyre quite cheap and sometimes also come in plastic or different shapes)

Fabric (the less stretchy the better, though if youre planning to decorate clothing I think it really depends on how determined you are. what ive got here is some leftover polyester fabric from cosplay and other sewing projects. you can even sew different pieces together if one isnt big enough for the frame but in that case you need to iron the sewed piece flat or else it will be very difficult to keep straight and neat)

Embroidery yarn (see pic) (theres two types, and ive only used pearl yarn (top) so far but the other one allows for more precision since you can pick how many strands of yarn you need)

Needle (see pic) (properly pointy, not like the crappy one above. I mainly use that for crochet things because it actually bends and that’s NOT what you want here)

Scissors and a pencil

2) Sketch: Pick an image of what you want to do. I’ve found that at first, practicing with basic shapes and colours is a lot easier to get used to the whole thing, it helps give you a feel of how the yarn ends up looking stitched to the fabric. So far I almost only did screenshots, and I didn’t have to draw something up myself. In mobs case, I based it off a doodle I did in class and added a little colour to it 

3) Pick fabric and yarn: That’s mainly up to you, depends on what youre going for, but as a fair warning, very light fabric colours will show the stitches and leftover yarn from behind, so you need to tuck them behind the main body of your embroidery later on

4) Apply to fabric: 2 ways, both pretty much self explanatory, only heres where the stretchiness of the fabric comes into play. As you can see ive developed a fool proof technique, ive had tape stuck to the top of my laptop for weeks now, im not about to waste it? (use more than one tape, this is an old pic i took because the concept was hilarious in the moment) Pro tip: don’t draw your sketch on paper advertising dnd game sets because youre gonna have a hard time seeing the pattern through everything and youll curse yourself for doing that instead of paying attention in class  Pro tip 2: dark fabrics demand a white colour pencil, you literally wont be able to see anything else

5) Stitches: heres a LINK to the page I use to find all the different stitches I could possibly use. Practice makes perfect, i spent about two hours trying each of these out on an irrelevant piece of fabric to see how theyd work and how difficult they are, and still use that bit as ref to consider how a stitch would look on my current piece. Of these, ive only used about three in my finished broids, since theyre mostly for decorative things I think. Don’t let that stop you though, get creative and use the things im too lazy to incorporate!! (ill be using these terms for the rest of the tutorial, so if you dont know a word its probably in there)

6) Outlines/shading: Start by outlining your sketch with a few backstitches to get a feel for where everything needs to be. If theres shading then itd be useful to do those lines in the other colour already, or youre going to have to fix all that later and itll be a huge pain and make you want to stop altogether. It happens

Im not sure if that’s how its supposed to work but I fill in the shades first, it gives me a good sense of what direction the main colour stitches need to go to make it look dynamic.

7) Fill in mains: This is where all those handy dandy stitches from that library probably wont help you too much if you want to do something relatively simple. Ive only used normal satin stitches to fill in colour so far, though what the link doesn’t mention is that it wastes a shitton of yarn. Yarn is expensive, so what you can do is come up for point 3 not back next to 1 but instead next to 2. Warning: that does warp the way the yarn lies though, so use that one accordingly (for example: I do Not use it when doing small delicate places, or things that need to be detailed in general)

Mob was fairly simple as far as that went since i didnt add a lot of pattern, but ritsu is a little more complicated. Like i said earlier, adding shade before the main colour helps because now i know where the folds in his clothes are and how the fabric would bend to accommodate it.

8) Add details (like faces!):

Again, here I cant tell you exactly how you need to stitch to get everything looking good, just try to follow the way a face has its dynamics. Is it a long face, make lots of long vertical stitches, is it a round one, try to stick to the edges (but don’t spiral)

Facial features are a little more difficult because its hard to make a round nub or dots for pupils on something very small but its better to try 5 times and get it right the 6th instead of leaving the 1st try (i took ritsus entire face apart at least 3 times and t b q h i still think it doesnt look good but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

9) Background: Get real fancy on that shit, heres where you can try out those cool rose shaped stitches from up there in the link, go wild lol

10) Lastly: PATIENCE

I cant stress this enough, this WILL take a loooot of time, the first ritsu I did took me a literal week, while the second one took me roughly four hours in total (and that was a rather simple design). 

Accept the fact that it wont look as good as you imagined it. That may sound harsh but for me that’s been my main issue, imagining how a string would lie exactly and then looking on in disgust when that doesn’t work out. You’re not drawing, the medium doesn’t exactly translate, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing! Try to figure out what methods work best for embroidery exclusively. 

Don’t be afraid to undo, be careful about it though. I use those big scissors and it’s a bad idea, don’t do that. Unpicking from the back to save the yarn also works but it gets difficult (and at some point impossible) once the strands start getting woven together on their own

And there you have it, a finished piece of embroidery!! 

You can now either hang it up in its frame and cut away the excess fabric at the sides or tie it around a piece of cardboard like so. it’s a little hard to get right at first but practice amiright

I hope i could be of help!! if you have any more questions feel free to come to my ask anytime!! ^^ <33
