**********************************************
At the bottom ill add updates and links every now and then
so come back to here every now and then.
**********************************************

So instead of re-editing all of em ill make this one!
Step by very fun yet long Step

Step 1: Get a Munny Foo! Or anything that can stand some toasting (literally) and work. Munnys are about 30$ but are graaaeett!

Step 2: Items you will need:
Paint (like duh) Light blue, Dark navy blue, White.
(You use the very light and very dark to mix and get the right tone that you prefer, because this is to be totally yous in every way possible)
Yellow black (eyes) white: (eyes and dots)

Beads of the native colour, (blues greens, few reds.)

Yarn! YARN YARN YARN!!! BROWN F-ING YARN!!!!LOTS!
(look for one that you think would be best, or even a different colour then brown, make his hair blone or white)

Feathers! Nice ones too, --
***NOTE*** DO NOT BE CHEAP! BUY NICE THINGS! YOU WILL LOVE YOUR SELF FOR DOING SO! I SPENT A FEW OF 20's FOR MINE... WISH I DID MORE!
cont-- get some red-yellow- orange (i think are the best)
but blues and greens aren't to be not used (ITS YOURS TO MAKE)

Some crap cloth you got laying around.... well if you can spare a few $ get some nice colour and stuff ect. but dont buy imported silk for this.... unless you want too.. i guess...

Sculpee, i thinks its called.. a clay that you can throw into the oven to harden. This you might have to fork over a few $ (my teacher had some so it was free for me)
but this shit helps a lot. Tail and nose piece look so much better done this way.

And......Oh like a small piece of copper wire or somthing
(used to help shape tail and hold position in oven....(anything you can wrap clay around and heat is good))

Hot glue... is best in my head but any glue should work..

and umm.... oh yea! thread and needle... works great for the hair and clothes.

last item: some black hair/fuzz for the tail tip.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets begin! Add Your Own stuff too!


A few tips:
Hot Glue To make a nice shape to it, apply hot glue, item, then like finger, and do a semi swift wipe on the glue.
Wont hurt as long as you dont leave your finger there.




1: Use the sculpee to form a nose kinda area like in the pic.
Make it nice a smooth and easy into a thin layer at the top.
(about a lil past the hair line) and make the ears pointy like an elf.

2:Cook to let clay harden.

3:Make the tail the shape you want. (Try to keep the tail shape close to the body so when moving around it doesnt get caught on anything.) ---I did: made a tiny whole on the tail stub on the body, but a copper wire (body is hollow) into the hole while coated with hot glue, shaped wire, covered with clay.--- and then cook!

4: Paint. make a nice sky blueish colour for the skin. Add and let dry, then go over to make sure eveythings smooth and there's no blank spots.

5: Hair time (the longest part).... equiped with your yarn, your going to want to make braided hair 6-7(guy avatar) 9-11(girl avatar) about shoulder length(guy) about 2 cm past (girl) each braid is made of 3 yarn strands.
Make the main braid about 5-7 strands, (the hair with the connectors)
then, using masking tape, put strands of hair in a line (ill post pics) to create a fuller effect.
Hot glue and tape hair and braids, but not the main strand yet. Thats in step 6. (for the girl i made 2 braids go donw in front of the ears, perpendicular to the flow of hair)

6: Ok the main strand. At the the end of the braid you going to want to take some white thread and make some U shapes (about 6 ones inch long), then tie the bend part so they don't unravel.
take some yarn, unwind it and make U shapes around the white thread part to cover it. this is the connectors.
glue strand in and you done for that part.

7: beads are the nice touch to this, make some strands at the ends or 1/2 way up the braids (you can do the single strands but looks nicer on the braids)
do mix and match colours and make the main braid the most stylish. after that add some feathers (cut them to make em pretty(dont have to))

8: Now for stripes! make a navy or little bit light navy for the stripes. make em random *note they end at the edge to the belly. get a pic of a tiger and just copy it if you have no idea on how to do or what style.

9:Make some necklaces and ornamental stuff just to make it detailed... you can add a emblem or somthing small to the hair.. i was going too but it woulda been too much.

10: Clothes, simple loin cloth for guy/girl munny. As for upper wear, my guy just has a knife thing and a necklace. The girl has a tree emblem thing i bent some wire into... looks cool
(again, your munny, add pants and a shirt if you want. even underware if your a bit creepy....)

11: Eyes, draw em out, use a pencil, make em perfect.
You can change how much yellow you got and how big they are ect.ect. Try thinking cat eyes. I did a crescent moon then a backwards crescent moon thing.

12: Oky doky the white dots. simple, small brush, white paint. your own pattern.
