If It Doesn't Have a Tail, It's Not a Monkey

It’s finished! Isn’t he cute? And I even was able to get a good picture outside in the sun!

He has pipe cleaners inside him, so he can be posed and can hold his banana! And yes, he has a tail, so he’s definitely a monkey :)

However, in the process of designing his head, I ended up accidentally making a gorilla head, so I guess I made an ape too… maybe I’ll eventually make a body for the gorilla too. But for now, I think I’ll try to focus on my dragon! Also, here's the monkey pattern I created to make this guy!

Why Do I Get So Distracted?

Though I did get a bit done on my monkey pattern yesterday, I also ended up getting distracted way too much... like when I decided I wanted to carve some pencils.

At least they turned out cool. I made the pi symbol first and then the fehu rune after, which turned out a bit better because of all its straight lines.
So, I still haven't finished my monkey yet or made any progress on the dragons, but hopefully I will today.

The Dragons Are Coming!

I've been dreaming of designing a dragon pattern for awhile now, and a few months ago, I started making a dragon whelpling, as evidenced by the prototype head below; but the body had been giving me some trouble, so I set it aside for a bit. But last night, I was in the middle of making a monkey pattern when I randomly thought of making a different type of body for my dragon's head to attach to, and I sketched out a bunch of the pieces for it!

I mean, I still have to finish the monkey first, but then I should have a bit of free time where I can work on this guy, which I'm super excited about! :)
