she's got a big smile!

this was a lot of work! i think it might be the prettiest & strangest thing i've made yet. fyi it's felted wool on wire armature. the claws, teeth, and beak are painted modeling foam.

id: pictures of a needlefelted wool creature puppet. this creature is a chimera of flamboyant flamingo and majestic leopard. it's built bizarre and it has no apparent eyes. its torso is made of a leopard's face. the chin is its stomach, with a toothy maw yawning in its midsection. the torso-face's upper lip mimics the pecs of a chest, and attached to that is a set of strong arms with large paws. the cheeks of the torso-face mimic an addition chest, and attached to this is a set of wings. the creature has a second face. from the nose ridge of the torso-face stretches the neck, head, and beak of a flamingo, once again apparently eyeless. its coat is all bright pink with a paler pink undercoat and hundreds of purple spots. on the feathery wings, the spots elongate into rows of streaks. below its knees, its legs are purple with light lavender scales, its feet webbed, three-toed, and clawed. its tail is long, terminating in a feathery bouquet.

a werewolf known as Mother Tongue.

needlefelt minotaur!

my take on a chimera of ram, lion, and snake.

Titanosaurus, my beloved, my dear, a kaiju from Terror of Mechagodzilla that i needlefelted in 2022.

so, here's the new creature! right now i'm calling it a Shape of Shapeshifting. it's a big weirdo, conceptualized as a shape given to the force that shifts shapeshifters' shapes. it's a felt puppet, made with aluminum wire, wool, felt, and holographic paper, with hot glue used to attach the paper. also the eyes are glued to pins so i can adjust and switch em around as much as i want.

i love how it looks, the contrast between the shiny sharp details and dark fuzzy silhouette. i'm learning how to photograph it, so these pics are rough and repetitive and more so me sharing the learning experience than showing off the creature properly. it's still a work in progress and additions are needed, like holographic stars added to the shoulders & thighs. personally, i'm fond of the lower light pics, with their vague idea of a body and the clean ideas of teeth & claws.

a dandelion-themed jester!

the creatures so far, 2021-2023.

concept designs and their finished needlefelt counterparts

practicing many things with this creature: felting without a wire armature, felting fat body types, felting & sewing outfits, and trying a more stylized/cartoony/furry werewolf design than my usual work. she's cute. i think i gotta make her a scary gf using the same methods!

werewolf woman with a lance of rebar and concrete. impractical weapon unless you yourself are a monstrous weapon able to wield it. i've got final fantasy and dragoons on the brain tbh and that's transferred over to my creature art.
