I spent four years making two characters who've never even met in canon kiss and I'm absurdly proud of it.

Oh, it's definitely Moopsy! I spent ages watching and re-watching and came to much the same conclusion as you did (i.e. that the animation is really inconsistent), so this is a sort of ... composite Moopsy? I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with those back legs, though...

Made a crochet bone for crochet Moopsy
(Plan for version 3 of the Moopsy pattern: make the head bigger; less length in the body; do ... something about the back legs; try another different yarn; (try to) sew everything on straight this time (yeah right))

You better not shout
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
🎶🎶 Moopsy's loose and hunting you down 🎶🎶
I've had a bit of a creative drought for the last, er, few months, but I finished the second prototype of crochet Moopsy in time for Christmas (Christmoops?)! A few more changes to make before I'm completely happy with it, but a big improvement on version one.

The Moopsy test is complete!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A few changes to make for version 2, which will have at least 30% more butt and won't have parts sewn the wrong way round, but I'm pleased with how this came out!

I forgot to say that this came out of a 2-minute post-it note doodle I did in early 2020:

I'd always meant to turn it into something else but, well, 2020. Three and a bit years later, it's lovely to have an excuse!

Rebloogalooging again for 30 Days of Prodigy, day 17 - Rok Tahk!
It's taken 3 months of trial and error (mostly error), but...
Tumblr media
... here's Rok Tahk!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her FACE
Tumblr media
I learned a lot designing and making her; she's definitely the most complicated piece I've crocheted to date. There are still a few things I want to fix - but given that she's only my second attempt at designing a crochet pattern, I think she's turned out pretty well! And Murf agrees.

Sharing again (a day late, whoops) for 30 Days of Prodigy, day four - Murf!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Paramount don't seem to be too interested in making Star Trek: Prodigy merch, so I decided to take matters into my own hands/crochet hook. Six prototypes, a lot of yarn, and even more swearing later, I've designed my very first crochet pattern.
Behold - Murf!
Next up ... Rok Tahk???

This has been getting another flurry of notes and lovely comments over the last few days, and if you liked this WIP pic of the prototype, you're going to love the finished version - which I'm hoping to share in the next week or so!
(And because a few people have asked whether I'll be posting the pattern: I very much plan to make the patterns for both Rok Tahk and Murf available, but they both need quite a bit of work before I'll be happy to release them into the wild. Rok Tahk in particular uses a bunch of slightly unusual techniques/stitches, instructions for all of which I'll need to write up in addition to the pattern itself, and some parts will need photos to show how it all works. She also requires a lot of yarn, so I want to make sure the pattern is perfect before anyone spends hard-earned money on the resources to make her. So it's a 'yes', but not necessarily a 'soon'!)
Who'd like a sneak preview of what I'm working on at the moment...?
Tumblr media
It's Rok Tahk!
She's very much not finished (still need to figure out her dungarees and a pair of legs!) and very much a prototype, with lots that needs to be fixed for the next version, but I reckon she's looking great so far.
(She also might be the most complicated crochet pattern I've ever worked on, let alone designed...)
What do you think?
