#it’s basically me making mini-tapestries of any banner I remember from lifesteal/third life/whatever else that I will eventually sew togeth

hello lifesteal tumblr. look at my Little Guys. rambles underneath the cut for those interested

pattern created from scratch in an improv session <3 alas I don’t have any pipe cleaners to make their heads not floppy but I think it adds to the charm. I have no clue why spoke ended up taller than the others, but I think it was yarn weight related. there is also a bandana for mapicc but it is not visible because I stitched over the front part to very skin-accurate (it makes him look like he has a bowl cut but it was funny enough to me that I kept it). he also has a hood hidden behind his head because he had the drawstrings on his skin and I wanted to work that in. no space buns, alas. spoke’s took the longest due to colourwork issues, and I accidentally twisted his bandana when stitching it together so its very poorly seamed on the side where I had to cut it apart. zam was the one I made the pattern for, and when I say made the pattern that translates into I completely made it up as I went. his crown is somewhat skin accurate but due to the number of stitches it is not perfect, and also I had only learned to picot like three days before I decided to attempt it on his crown spikes. the fact it worked out was a miracle. one last fun fact: spoke was the only one I wrote a proper plan for, and it took up an entire page of my notebook because I was not going into all that colourwork unprepared.

if you made it this far, have some extra pictures!

^^ his usual resting place is by my laptop for maximum autism

^^ feeling severe despair

^^ both of these pictures were sent to my partner with nothing but the caption Scuffed

^^ this has been unanimously titled spoke experiences a forcible exorcism while zam and mapicc watch

^^ and for the love of god, learn from me and do NOT do your colourwork like this. it helps absolutely nobody, unless you enjoy playing yarn untangling simulator
