Part 2 of a felted penguin tutorial

When you are done making the base shape, it should look a little like this. Make sure to focus on the upper half to make the neck more prominent.

Next up is the white belly. Keep in mind this step can be skipped if you’re sure that clothing will cover it up, but I do it anyway in case the clothing fits differently than I originally thought. This is also where I switched from my bigger needle to my medium needle.

Either way, make sure to cut/tear a small bit of white felt to set aside for the eyes.

Place a bit of the white felt on the front of the penguin (you can add more if some of the base still shows underneath), shaping it as you tighten it. Be sure to keep it below the neck to leave room for the beak, and to get it as flat as possible.

If you accidentally tighten it in the wrong spot, you should be able to nudge back into place with your needle, or pull that spot out with your fingernails to start over.

Now’s where we work on the flippers. You can always just add on the felt as is to the sides of the penguin, like I did with Rookie, but I’ll show how I make the flatter flippers anyway.

You can use anything as a mold, feel free to get creative with it! For my flippers, I use this spot of a paw print mold.

Another part coming… bear with me here!

hang on I’m trying to see something

don’t tell me the name of your pet, just tell me in the tags the name you call them that’s got nothing to do with their actual name

huehue the scene that traumatized my childhood. this is also somewhat of a personal piece (as well as practice for making comics again) because I read this comic on deviantArt back when i played this game closer to when it came out that illustrated this same scene but with stabbing which... finally made me realize how the mayor actually could have died in the game at this point lol

but i could never find that comic again! so instead i just made it myself lmao

Remember when I said I'd do that rat showcase tomorrow?? Well, here's the showcase.. because I got sick!
