where is the rat? bring him to me. 

Just gonna uh

Took a bit, sorry for the wait! Unfortunately I was not able to get to the clothes, but here is Part 1 the tutorial for the base penguin (doing this on mobile won’t let me post more than 10 images :P ):

First off, plan your colors ahead of time. That way you won’t run into a wall later if you don’t have a color for a certain part! I didn’t do it this time, but it helps to draw the figurine and map out the colors.

I’m making Aunt Arctic this time around :3

When I make these, I use a whole baggie of felt as to not make them too small. I also use different sized needles, but they’re only preferable, not required; one good needle will be fine.

Tear or cut away a couple small pieces of felt (make them as even as you can), and set them aside. They’ll be for the flippers.

Start tightening the felt to get a simple shape down (to make these I do not break the body into multiple shapes). As you do this, focus your jabs where you’d like the neck to be. I’m using Rookie here as reference. Ty for your service goofball

Keep doing this until the felt doesn’t give much when you squeeze it between your fingers.

Quickshift is based off of my irl subaru outback, and California is partly a self insert :33

Part 3 of a felted penguin tutorial

Once you have the flippers in your selected mold, use the needle to stuff it in there (note: I used a hard surface to take the picture, but do NOT do it on a hard surface. It won’t tighten it, at least not well, and it might break your needle. Use foam underneath, or any other soft surface you don’t mind getting holes in).

Switch back and forth from either side to make sure both sides of the flipper is tightening the same.

Make sure to keep a bit of loose felt at the ends of the flippers for attaching them in the next step.

Next merge the flippers with the sides of the penguin. This step is pretty simple! This is where I usually place the flippers, but you can place them anywhere you want really.

Here’s what we have now :3

Faceless, but looking pretty neat!

Let’s fix its facelessness. Take a bit of orange felt (I didn’t take a picture of how much I cut… whoopsies!) and place it just above the neckline. This is where you can choose your penguin’s expression. I’m giving her just a regular smile, but it can be anything you want!

I know it looks weird, but it’ll look better soon I promise.

Next take a bit more of your orange felt and wad it up in the middle of the expression you just made. I tighten it there, but if you find it easier you can create its oval shape before putting it on.

Shorten it as much as you can, and try to keep it between the line of orange felt you placed there before!

We’re almost done, should be able to finish in the next part!

I sneeze, they get spooked, then realize it's me and relax again <3

I wanted to test out a couple things in tvpaint, so Tuna was my guinea pig :3

Rat kings are like the saddest mystery dude, poor little guys

Rat kings are phenomena said to arise when a number of rats become intertwined at their tails. Historically, there are various superstitions surrounding rat kings, and they were often seen as an extremely bad omen, particularly associated with plagues.
