I take it back. Webooks is a load of crap, run by people who have somehow blundered into attracting a lot of good writers, but are themselves idiots.
Screw 'em. |

| An experiment |
[Jul. 4th, 2009|03:43 pm] |
I'm using The Dragon Queen as a bit of an experimental piece to try out webooks. No idea how things will go from here, but if anybody is interested in what appears to be a pretty well-designed social networking site revolving around writing, reading, and reviewing books, you can check out http://www.webook.com/ and have a gander at my trial attempt.
Anybody reading this already use webooks? *curious* |

I did a little sewing today, but after the AC scramble, it's nice to do something else too.
It's also kind of fun to see how far I've come in my art. I mean I haven't made the kind of advances that I'd have made if I were one of those obsessive artists who is all about constantly improving. I draw for fun, so a lot of my drawings don't build my skill at all, they're just meant to be enjoyed. (This is also part of why I don't like critique. Very often I know exactly what a piece needs in order to be miles better, I just didn't want to do it because it would have been too much work and I wouldn't be having fun anymore. :P)
Anyhow! Here is my first Dansk, drawn sometime... I don't know around 2004?
Here's my second Dansk, drawn today!
Dansk are a race from one of my very-seldom-used science fiction settings. Actually the same one that firecats hail from. I love the setting, and I'm pretty fond of the races in it, but I don't have much in the way of stories to tell there. Someday maybe. The Dansk are probably my favorite race from the setting. I have !cats and !caninds and !dragons, and they're all fairly interesting, but !lobster warrior-philosophers are moreso, I think! |

| Paws! |
[Jun. 25th, 2009|01:26 pm] |
I totally love my current indoor footpaw pattern. I wish I could think of a way to make the outdoor feet this awesome, but I really don't know how I'd do that. I may re-work my hand paw pattern soon though. You know I've been using the same one for 5-fingered hands since my very, very, very first cruddy partial? It's a good pattern! But maybe I could stand to find a better one. I certainly need to re-work my 4-fingered pattern, I'm starting to think it kind of sucks.
Also finished a bodysuit, and now that everything for AC is finished I finally can get back to work on this blue scarred wolf suit that's been delayed forever, and get a few other projects out of the way. Anybody who's been waiting a long time for something that should have been done ages ago can feel happy, you're up next! And then after that stuff is cleared off in the next couple of weeks I get to start some really fun/weird ones. Got a quad suit coming up, and a vinyl suit, and a cub suit. XD Fun/weird ones. I won't say which is which. |

| Selling Unico |
[Jun. 19th, 2009|05:19 pm] |
I've decided to try again, I've already prepped a bait for a different style of Unico, so I'm selling this little guy.
If you're interested you can comment, e-mail, or PM me with an offer. I hate ebay (sorry) so I don't want to use it. I'll sell him to whoever gives me the highest offer by this time tomorrow.
Thanks. |

| Unico |
[Jun. 17th, 2009|09:25 pm] |
I was obsessed with him as a child, and I recently re-watched the Unico movies. And I'd meant to make this custom ages ago. So I figured why not? (And yes, this is a "he", Unico is a boy.)
 is the original character.
My version isn't perfect, I may do another one at some point. It's not bad though. I'm also working on an adult form Unico pony, but that one is a good bit more work. |

| Just finished. |
[Jun. 10th, 2009|10:25 pm] |
He doesn't fit me at all, but he came out pretty nicely. |
|
|
| Quick, fun one |
[Jun. 10th, 2009|12:35 am] |
Finished this yesterday too. It's a cartoon phoenix tail.

|
| It's done |
[Jun. 9th, 2009|04:13 am] |
More photos tomorrow when I can take the pins out and put it on. Right now trying to wear it would be a very bad idea. |
|
|
| OMG! Sale! Tails, ears, loonakits, pillows, and ponies. Well, one pony. |
[Jun. 4th, 2009|06:13 pm] |
I cleaned out my tail bin today. I hadn't realized I'd accumulated so many! And some of them are from clear back in 04 when I first started this fursuiting thing. They need to be gone! And there are tons of other randon things I want to get off my hands. So! Sale time! Stuff starting at $3, holy crap.
Shipping is $5 for ANY number of items, anywhere in the USA.
International shipping is $10 for any one item, or any combination of small items. If you're getting all of the largest tails, I may have to charge a little more.
If you see something you like and you think it's still too expensive, make me an offer! I will almost certainly accept it! (So long as it's not completely absurd, $1 for something I've priced at $30 will probably get turned down.)
If you're buying more than one thing I will happily discount stuff! Just ask! If you're buying a ton of things I may throw in the cheaper stuff free, just ask!
I also have a HUGE box of scraps, shipping will be more expensive on it, but the scraps themselves are FREE!
Where you see two or three items in a photo I'm just indicating I have more than one on hand. They're still sold one at a time, not as a set, so the price listed is for just one.
Paypal preferred. Check, money order, or cash at your own risk all accepted.
( LOTS and lots of stuff. )
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to ask them. Feel free to comment here, or you can e-mai me at spark.costumes@gmail.com whatever is easier for you. If you want to buy, same thing, just let me know. |

Got pretty much zero serious interest in my Kali suit.
Fine by me, guess I'm keeping her. |

| Selling my calico |
[May. 30th, 2009|07:54 pm] |
Assuming I can find a buyer who fits it, or is willing to alter it. $1,000 or best reasonable offer.
I'm 5'4" and weigh around 140. Small hands. If you're not certain if it would fit you, you can send me waist, bust, and hip measurements and I can check. :) Suit has been worn to two conventions, but is still in near new condition.
Lots of photos here: http://www.sparkcostumes.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=29
Includes a bonus hat!

Oh look, more stupid delays.
Had a sorta-migraine most of yesterday. Woke up today, felt better, but now it's back. I made some loonakits, I think that's about it for today. Sorry folks.
Here, have Loonakit photos:

| Everybody loves pink skunks |
[May. 26th, 2009|08:58 pm] |
This tail seems to be fairly popular. So I will share it here too. Gotta show off my best stff. :P
Standard skunk tail, but done with pink tipped fur instead of white. It's actually even pinker than in the photo, the flash washed it out a bit. |

| ZOMG garden! |
[May. 23rd, 2009|07:06 pm] |
I potted aloes today. They all had at least some root, though only one of them really has much worth mentioning yet. But they're all in pots, at least. I want to give them a little bit to settle into the pots, and then I'll be ready to ship them. So those of you who've spoken for them know what's going on. :)
P.S. I just got a haworthia that's pupping like mad, I may offer up some pups from that to folks too, eventually. :) |

| Orphaned pony |
[May. 18th, 2009|02:05 pm] |
I'm kind of pissed off right now so I didn't feel like taking the time to do a proper photoshoot. But I put a lot of work into this guy, so I did want to show him off. I can't show him in the pony forum without inviting massive drama, because the girl who commissioned him is an idiot and is blaming me for her stupidity.
It's a long story.
Anyhow, this guy is an orphan now because the gal who commissioned him says she hates him and doesn't want him. Poor little pony. (If anybody wants him, arrangements could probably be made.) He did come out pretty nicely though. This was my first time making sculpted hair and my first time making sculpted clothes, so I'm quite proud of him. |
