maud (my girlfriend) if u randomly open my blog and see this LOOK AWAY.!
so i have decided to make my own elmer pattern! i really hope he turns out as well as i think he will. my methodology is very uhm do what feels natural all my patterns look like this and would probably be very difficult to follow for anyone who isn’t me!
i cannot (like physically cannot) conjure images my mind so pattern making takes so much brain power and drawing and just actual crocheting and then re crocheting to figure out haha. my brain also cannot do the sort of maths this sort of thing requires so don’t suggest that hahaha
i will try to remember to update this again when he is finished <3 i plan to make a lining out of some old calico i have lying around so i can fill him with a blend of rice and plush stuffing so he can stand up! also thinking about using black buttons sewn on with white thread for the eyes? idk! but i’m having fun!
i love that no matter what alternate universe he is in people will write Rui where he will not eat vegetables. no matter what. he could be the most menacing guy ever and then acts like a stubborn toddler when vegetables are presented to him
No but @korruptbrekker reached out to me and asked if I was interested in doing a collab (go check out their piece here, I implore you), and you know I could not say no to such a wonderful artist asking lil ol me to do something fun like this. We ended up doing a swap @laugaheim and I came up with ages ago that I so sussinctly refer to as a moodboard-sketch-lineart-render swap. Rolls right off the tongue, right? Nah but it's exactly what it says. Make moodboards, swap and sketch from the other's, swap again and line the other's sketch, and then swap once again and finish the piece you sketched.
Very big thanks to Brekker for reaching out! This was so fun, I hope we can do something together again in the future!
