Papyrus Keychain!

Papyrus Keychain!

Look at my pretty boy! Isn’t he so handsome??? I’m so proud of him… *sniffs*

In other news, I am starting to take seriously the suggestions that I sell the crafts I make online? So I’m trying to start making more for selling, and coming up with other ideas? I’m getting excited and nervous about it, but also hopeful? Then I get stuck on the time and prices… The materials don’t cost too much, but I spend hours on these guys… the backing alone took well over an hour for this Papyrus. He’s about the size of an outstretched hand (which is a bit big for keychain size >_

…Papyrus, sweetie, I’m sorry for selling your body!!!

…He seems proud of how highly he’s valued.

I already came up with a name for my theoretical store - I’d probably use Etsy? “S” for my first name, “Ann” for my middle name and my internet handle, so… SAnn’s Studio!

….*shifty eyes* What do you mean that looks like someone else’s name? There are two ‘n’s instead of one and different capitalization!

…So! Pics of the Papyrus making process below!

So here’s the sprite of Papyrus I used as my pattern, where he looks suitably heroic! Fitting for the noble friend Papyrus! 

Here’s a bigger version of him : )

Traced out as best as I can, though I might skip this step next time as it takes so long and I have plastic canvas to spare if I mess up…

I double check with my pattern as I cut - which is good, because I messed up!!! I approached from the bottom to find out where I messed up, and it was at the tiny notch going in for his waist - problems with tracing out the pattern…

So I fixed it with purple, and luckily I messed up twice so that it worked out perfectly in the end??? ^^;;;; I must have had the blessings of Papyrus on my side for that to work out so smoothly - or Sans, making sure everything is okay for his brother! : )

Then I had to cut out his arm. Do you know how much those 3 blocks refused to be cut free??? I was determined, and figured out how to do it properly, and finally succeeded. 

Brothers! Or at least, the prototypes for the brothers. Saves me about an hour of figuring out the pattern and second-guessing every cut - now I just have to trace the existing Papyrus onto plastic canvas!

Mmmm…. this looks like something I’ve read… can’t imagine where…

I did the blue first, and then tried to tie off his legs… everything just wanted to slide up on in there, so I had to protect his virtue somehow! …it didn’t work too well. In the meantime, he decided to take tips from the Cheshire cat on how to smile! ^^;

…Okay, the real reason I left the blue tied around his legs wasn’t to hobble him, but so that I could tuck it behind the black stitches to hold him in place. Let me tell you, though, I missed it when it was gone. Everything slithered up to his crotch while I was trying to work, and I constantly had to pull him free of the string.

I wrapped him up in a nice, warm… shawl? sash? made of bones as I tucked him aside for a few days to work on later. 

Is that cat hair or yarn fuzzies? I just hope Papyrus isn’t allergic!

Yellow, how can I help you today? …Hello, yellow!

Oh. Oh, my. He’s rather resplendent in red, isn’t he?

Fun time with felt… I need to get tracing paper because I just can’t see where I traced onto black felt!

Rough outline >_

Psst, check out this Toriel Prototype I made along the way. She’s enormous!!! …and tumblr is rotating the image for some reason???

THIS SUCKER IS BARELY VISIBLE. After all the work I put into it!

See? No, you can’t see! Nether can I!!! >:/    …oh well.

I’m still so proud of him… *sniffle*

I actually bought some metal rings and things to try to make better looking keychains? I’m not entirely sure how that will work out, I haven’t tried it yet…

aaaand I have less than half an hour before work and I need to get ready.

Thank you people so much for reading and appreciating! I hope I didn’t throw people off with the mention of money early on… Sorry…

I think I’ll go make a few Sanses now! Or an annoying dog? Or I have that Toriel prototype… or I could do Alphys… Or more heart/SOUL pins… Let me know if you have any ideas or think this is a good idea!!! I appreciate each and every one of you, and every note makes me so happy!!!! (especially since I’ll be posting this in the middle of work, bleh. I definitely appreciate the pick-me-up then.)

<3 Love the goat boy. Respect the goat boy.

Here are some scientific facts about blood loss for all you psychopaths writers out there.

This is fascinating, and I hope you don't mind if I adopt some of this for my post pacifist headcanon!

hey I liked your alphys job speculation post and in the tags you mentioned you've thought about Alphys's *and* Undyne's jobs on the surface, I was curious what jobs you've thought about for Undyne?

I’ve actually thought about this a bit, and I’m pretty curious what other people’s ideas are.  When I was working on the last alphyneweek, I got stuck writing for the one that was about jobs, because I didn’t feel like writing about them being underground, but I just could not settle on something for Undyne to do on the surface.  

I think immediately after they reach the surface, she could do like guard work for Asgore, Frisk and Papyrus and protect them as they try to keep things peaceful between monsters and humans.  But would she keep doing that forever?  I don’t really think so.  

There’s one ending where she’s a teacher, and another where she helps Alphys in her lab.  There’s also the ending where she gets super depressed and works at Sans’ illegal hotdog stand.  I guess I could see her being a super intense PE teacher, or continuing to protect monsters in some new department set up for that?  But I could also see her drifting for a while and going from job to job until she discovers a passion for…something?  Boxing?  Maybe she does stunts and has people record her and put it on youtube?  I can’t decide!  

i hate how reward systems never work for me like i can’t just say “if i finish this assignment i can have a cookie” bc my brain is like “…..or u could just have one right now” and i can’t argue with that logic
