Interest Check: Isopuppy Plushies
Anyone interested in buying isopuppy plushies?
Either as a pattern or actual sewn-by-me toys. Because I have crocheted So Many Toys over my children, and I am thinking it's time to go back to sewing for awhile, but I should also stop rampantly making toys without homes to send them to. So. Casual interest check. I am absolutely making one for myself; this just determines if I should go through the effort of making an actual pattern so I can replicate the process.

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)
exactly like that! though she's not the only one...
edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

A little nitpicky thing that drives me crazy about Disney's Narnia movies: Oreius the centaur. His name doesn't follow Narnia's centaur naming convention at all. (And I see this as symptomatic of other, larger issues that I have with these films.)
There are three named centuars in the series: Glenstorm in PC, Cloudbirth in SC, and Roonwit in LB. All of them basically have compound names made from alliding common words together to create something indicative of the centaur's skills/disposition (which makes sense given that Narnian centuars deal with prophecy). Two syllables, mostly nouns.
Fauns get Latin names and obviously characters pulled directly from mythology (Bacchus, for example) do too, but beyond that naming convention for Narnian creatures tends to be descriptive (Farsight, Bricklethumb), phonetic (Reepicheep, Bree), or follow some invented culture-specific pattern (the dwarves and most of the humans fall into this category). Oreius is not a centaur name that Jack ever would have come up with.
This may be a bit tinfoil hat-y, but I kind of suspect that because Narnia has a more eclectic style of worldbuilding than, say, LotR, the filmmakers just kinda pulled sorta generic stuff out of thin air? But just because Narnia doesn't have any conlangs doesn't mean that Jack didn't establish patterns in the way he uses words. He's actually remarkably consistant about names throughout the series, and it adds a lot!
Narnia is a rich world and it's very much its own thing. One of the big stylistic failings across the board with the Disney movies is that they just kinda treated it as "generic children's fantasy/knock-off Middle Earth." I find that approach really insulting tbh.

i’ve put this project on hold (because i’m going to design them all first) but i figured i might as well post another teaser
arti and hunter are nearly done (they need eyeshading and line color, and i need to shade hunter’s rot blobs) and everyone else has very basic shading (so i can remember what i planned)
unfortunately i’m probably going to redraw some / edit most of them since i’m actually making designs (it is a bad idea to wing designs for something like this). arti might get some pattern/color change but she and hunter won’t change that much

do i have a bunch of half finished costuming projects? yes. do i have absolutely no time or reason to start a new project? uh huh. Did I see Women in the Garden by Monet and immediately go ‘i need to make that dress’? absolutely.
anyways look at it:

Also, speaking of that particular sewing project, I realised halfway through the mockup that I could add pockets into the side seams without in any way changing the look of the romper or sacrificing screen-accuracy, and the power may have gone to my head.
