I love this new space kitty and their tuffty cheeks, it reminds me of an old graying cat. If it's is from the original Rebels timeline probably is getting pretty old by now.

Hello! I love your Loth cat designs! And wanted to make my own since Disney hasn鈥檛 renewed its loth/Tooka cat products and are sold out (Plus I like your designs waaaay better). My biggest issue is figuring out how to made the head of your cute Loth cats 馃槄 I鈥檓 not on and unable to get onto Instagram could you post the story on how you designed it on here or give me some tips on how to make one? -thank you so much :)
Also, I鈥檓 designing the pattern of this one after a cheetah, I also love how you did the striped tail so I鈥檓 going to do that with black and white longer fur at the end. (I鈥檒l need to trim it some though.) but any tips you could give would be much appreciated! 馃槃

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out, I will post roughly how I made the heads. However it's all the same techniques of making an art doll. There are great youtube tutorials out there which I watched to learn how to make my loth cats.
Long Post! Also heads up, they look really creepy until you put fur on them!
I used a styrofoam base for the head to keep it really light, loth cats have huge heads so it's important to keep the head light on the doll so it doesn't fall on it's face right away. Craft stores usually sell half spheres that I carved down to more of an oval shape to start.
I bought resin eyes on etsy and glued them on with hot glue. There are so many color options so have fun with them! I then used foam clay to add more shape to the face and make the eyes more natural looking. You can also probably use paper mache or another light air drying clay. But again keep the weight in mind.
I never worry about adding too many details as it will all be covered by faux fur, but having those shapes helps it look more realistic.

Next you enter what I call the creepy monkey phase. I usually paint the face a natural skin tone or the color of the fur so you can't see any gray.
I then attach the head to the body fur using glue. Next I cover the face in masking tape and draw the fur patterns I want onto it. This is a common fursuit head making technique. I recommend looking that up for more details on how to do that, but the photo below shows the steps I did.
*Note! Pay attention to the fur direction, on my tape pattern you can see the arrows showing which way the fur lays, use real animals as reference.
I then glued it on the face using fabric glue or hot glue. The more you cover at this point the less you have to flock later.
Tumblr media
Once you have most of the face covered, you can cover any little gaps using a flocking technique. Basically laying down a layer of glue and then taking very short hairs of faux fur and pressing it into the glue. Again there are some great youtube tutorials on how to do it if you google "flocking art doll".
Below is my first loth cat showing how weird it looks. Trust the process! It will look silly and kinda bad right until the end.
Tumblr media
Trim up any extra hairs that get in the way of the face, and next comes my favorite part, making them look like loth cats and not nightmare creatures!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I use sharpie fabric markers for the blacks and go around the eyes and mouth. This give them instant personality. You can also use some paints to add extra markings and color.
For the tail. I don't have any photos of the tail specifically, but here is the pieces of the pattern for the blue cat. The tail is basically just a rounded tube!
Tumblr media
Good luck with your build! I would love to see the final project!

Shop Update!
I just launched a big update for my art shop! https://doodlebethel.bigcartel.com/products
Newly listed are my linocut prints I've been working on, 11x17 and 8x10 prints usually only available at conventions, and two original Cats with Hats drawings on pine wood rounds. I also found a few more loth wolf pins which I thought were sold out!

I tabled at Con-Nichiwa this weekend. Usually it鈥檚 a good little con for me and I love tabling there but it was really slow for some reason this year. So I will be putting a concerted effort into updating my shop so my prints are available directly from me! I have a lot that I don鈥檛 list on my redbubble
