Thylacine with conte crayon! Drawn for this month's Sticker Club. No scan for this powdery beast, I just took the same phone photo you see here and edited it for the sticker. Got a lil sad watching the video of the last known one from the 30's, pacing alone and yawning in a small cage after all its species were intentionally hunted to extinction. We don"t even got a sound recording. Hope we all learn to ✨love one another✨ human n animal alike 🤪

Someone special arrived today... "Pathfinder" the Thylacine by Charlie Bears. Pre ordered for a year or so!

She has... A SURPRISE POUCH. I didn't expect this detail, it's not big enough for her to be a hand puppet but it's spacious enough to hide secrets inside. It does look slightly obscene (thylobscene), but a brave and bold choice from the designer Isabelle Lee, I admire her dedication to accuracy.

One thing of note with this plush is that the nose is very "compressed".

Being a plush meddler, I made the choice to free her snoot from the tyranny of thread sculpting with the intent of re-sculpting her head myself.

However after fishing out all these threads from below her chin I'm actually happy with her new deeper snoot and it didn't seem to affect anything else, so I didn't need to do any more sculpting after all.

Her eyes also were a little marked with ink from where they applied her eyeliner, I ended up cleaning her eyes with alcohol and blending the markings a bit more in the process.

I need to come up with a name for her, I feel like she might be a Gingersnap.

Hobart the thylacine won the poll and got unlocked! Here’s an illustration of what the backpack and plush will look like, plus a cute enamel pin:

I wanted to alert you, if you hadn't been told yet, that LittleSofts is currently running a campaign on BackerKit for a line of plushie animal backpacks. This is their second series (they had a successful campaign last year). They blew past all of their stretch goals, so they've been allowing people to vote on additional animals to add to the series 2 lineup, and one of the remaining 4 being voted on, at the moment, is Hobart the Thylacine. They've said that even if they don't unlock Hobart for this series 2 lineup, he and the other super-stretch goals will get made in the next series. If you're interested in seeing it, but can't find a link, let me know if you'd like me to send you one!

Hi, thank you for telling me!

Is it this one? I can’t find anything about Hobart the thylacine though:

My coworker knows about my love of thylacines, and she told me about a sci-fi show on Amazon Prime called “The Peripheral” that has thylacines in it so of course I had to watch. They show up halfway through episode 2.

I was pretty disappointed though, they’re just brindle dogs with CGI faces and they only appear for a few seconds 🥲

Flynne: “Are those…?”

Wilf: “Thylacine analogs. Though I believe you might call them something else.”

F: “Tasmanian tigers. I saw them in a show once, but they said that they were extinct.”

W: “Well, one of Lev’s hobbies is recreating such things… from their DNA.”

F: “Do they bite?”

W: “These two are designed for domestic companionship. There’s a rival genetic line, bred to be feral.”

i havent stopped thinking about thylacines since the day i first met them

Probably my favourite pattern I've made to date, this thylacine is using my at-home fabric printing setup which allows me to sublimate designs onto different colour and length fabrics that aren't available with commercial fabric printing…

I chose a dusty brown base colour (in two lengths), combining it with a pale minky underbelly and darker fabric for the tail. This, combined with sublimation printing, makes for a more realistic and intensely coloured outcome compared to printing onto plain white fabrics.

I used my vinyl cutter to make puff-vinyl paw pads and nose, which have a really fun texture. The colours of this plush were based on "unfaded" thylacine specimens- mostly pelts that have been stored away from sunlight. Most taxidermy specimens look very pale and faded.

This was a labour of love and I only have one available here: FOR SALE HERE. I may make more in future, but I imagine it won't be for a while and they'll look a bit different from this chap!
