Cooking with a therian:

Part 1
"Say the thing" Gate keeping artistic processes isn't a thing. I dont think its 'gatekeeping' for an artist of any craft to not share their process or make tutorials. obligatory I'm not a therian, but I'm a gear maker and there seems to be some discourse around tutorials, tips, tricks, etc An artist who spends so much time on their craft and developing their style doesn't owe you that knowledge, and it isn't gatekeeping to keep their style and process to themselves. Dont call someone a gatekeeper for making art, there are always going to be other artists who are making those tutorials who will help you. practice and create your own art
TAIL!!!!!!!!!!!
I just finished making my first yarn tail, and holy shit. I'm in love
So do y'all ever wear your tail for so long that it feels like an extension of your spine.
The weight feels so real to me that I'm sometimes surprised that I can't just move it the way that I would move any other limb.
Just finished my first mask!!! :)
Also, I found that if you punch holes in the mask where the whiskers would be, it makes it a lot easier to breathe with the mask on.
Makes it easier to wear the mask while doing quads :)
So I just finished making the foam bases for my paws!
They're designed specifically for doing quadrobics on concrete, extra foam on the bottoms to pad hard landings, and four layers of relatively tough denim to avoid damage.
Going to work on furring them next!
Just finished furring my paws!
They are designed specifically for doing quads on concrete without hurting your hands!
power's out and I'm bored, I was remaking my juggalo cat mask to be waterproof earlier and wanted to share it.
and here's some other masks :3
and then there's the ones I have for sale if you're interested :3
(and if you're interested here's my eBay)
Yeah I probably need to do this at some point
LEAVING THIS UP BUT VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE
Someone reblogged and said it can weaken the leather inside, this has never happened to me for the year or so I've done it, but very likely can happen!! Please be cautious:) this is likely better advice for faux tails! (As most of those dont have leather middles)
Reminder for all therians who have gear/anyone with animal gear
WASH
YOUR
TAIL!!
Don't know how/are afraid to do it wrong
Here's a step by step on how I do it! (This is for real fur tails but should also work just as well for faux fur !)
Fill up a sink or a large pot with warm water, NOT boiling/hot!! This can cause the fur and hold on it to grow a lot weaker and possibly fall off
Pour in dawn dishsoap/sensitive skin laundry detergent(regular downy also works!) into the water and mix it around :)
Gently take your tail and soak it in the water, slowly and carefully running your fingers through the fur to remove any excess dirt/grime
Dump out the dirty water and refill it with slightly colder water, run the tail through this again!
Smell testing is also a good idea, step away into a better smelling room then walk in and smell the tail, if it smells bad or grimey another less intensive wash may be needed
If done, Take the tail out, lay it FLAT DOWN on a surface, do not hang dry it from its keychain if it is big or heavy, if not then feel free to hang dry!
Check on it every hour or so, in less than a day it should be good! (Depending on length:] )
And thats all!! I hope this helps anyone with gear who wasnt shure how or if to wash it:)!!
Apparently I'm not allowed to wear my dog bone because it's too obvious and goes against jewelry rules???
Yes I am allowed a smaller chew toy, but it's not the same, it's not gear.
And now the haters are going to think they've won.
alright, i think i may actually make a tutorial for making your own mask without any sort of pre-bought base for those who are more inclined to do so rather than buying those cat or fox mask bases and modifying them!
Brushing out my yarn tail again as a form of selfcare. 💗
I just got fangs!!!!!!!!!
