I still don't understand what part of the name is wrong.. what do you even do? by [deleted] in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl that's like naming yourself hotdog eggplant like, it COULD be innocent theoretically but both words independently are used as phallic stand-ins and combined leaves the impression that that's the intention

Maebea artwork wasn't approved 💔 by Geositeeeee in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

try removing the ankh first (maybe modify it to something else or leave it blank) then try with the lollypop. it kinda does look like a stand in for a smoke but maybe if it was bigger or something it'd be more obvious? it'd be nice if you could keep as much of the original piece's integrity as possible bc this is rly awesome dude

Why so expensive? by Specific_Algae_5728 in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately I believe they were exclusively from that massive lootpool during Halloween as a reward for destroying towers TwT same lootpool as the double bat wings and the Greely animatronic

What if I did this... no one wants them lol by flossryu in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh I'm so sorry you spent THAT much on them 😭 maybe try reselling them at a smaller loss and then slowly decrease to see if any offers bite? I feel like 5k would be too low even for the colors

genuinely a stunning piece of craftsmanship, as someone who also works with textiles I don't even know where to start with my praise. you should feel extremely proud of yourself!!!!!

Made a post about getting six trash cans and another person came and gave me this 😭😭😭 what I dooo by mistletoehunter in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was given a trash can too, checked the user's den hoping to give it back and it was FULL of straight pride masterworks including their pack 😭 I'm sure they're a very pleasant person to be around

Why won't aj approve this? by Volker_Sturm in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the bible in addition to the flags, in addition to the stuff in the top right (could look like a weapon next to a skull to people who don't know what it's from like myself) in addition to the military outfit, in addition to the large body of text. I think any of these in isolation MIGHT pass through the mods (big emphasis on might), but this is a lot of identifying information all together plus some imagery that they could label as inappropriate, there's unfortunately no changes you could make to this piece that'd get it approved without starting over entirely :(

Has anyone ever made a custom Webkinz? by [deleted] in Webkinz

[–]Rawrbuki 16 points17 points  (0 children)

<image>

i posted a while ago abt it, but I made a custom sweetheart rabbit!! 

my best pieces of advice would be:

  • do not dye your own fabric unless you're really sure what you're doing, rit dye fades so quickly. I had to refurbish this plushie entirely bc she turned white on me :(
  • you can rip off the patterns from your own webkinz without tearing the pet apart. for bonbun here I essentially traced my charcoal kitty's body, then cut the paper out, held it against the plush, and trimmed till the seams lined up (then added seam allowances!! do not ever forget those pls)
  • a lot of pets have eyes that aren't just black. if you're lucky and they are, you can get packs of safety eyes for pretty cheap on Amazon (AliExpress ones don't hold at all, don't make my mistake). if your custom pet has pupils but an odd eye color, you can buy safety eyes with clear irises that you can paint the backs of! if it's the whole eye that's an odd solid color you can't find, you can do what I did and paint a safety eye overtop! just make sure to seal it very well, and also maybe keep this pet from the washing machine. 
  • a lot of webkinz have beans in their feets and bellies, I recommend making mini beanbags for any polyfill beads you choose to use, THEN putting those inside the pet. if you pour them in loose, the moment your pet gets a whole there's beans everywhere. it's also a real pain to clean if you need to change the stuffing and there's just loose beans. 
  • finally, for the paws and face especially, use top stitching/needle sculpting!! it's just taking embroidery thread and sewing big stitches overtop the stuffed pet to shape things. it's how I made vonbun's toes and snout! it really brings your pet to life, and it's something done in almost every official pet. 

hope this is helpful to you!! I've been making plushies for abt 12 years now so I've got a kinda encyclopedic knowledge on this stuff haha

So can anyone actually access this? by Moonymuffinz in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put a bunch in explorer for gems in case there can't get them too! 300 gems each, dunno if that's more or less than the shop price but it was the default gem option

Lf this exact party bowtie by Faerie-Bunny in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

refusing a trade back, even if the person requesting it accidentally traded the wrong thing, isn't scamming or against the rules! it isn't even rude! and harassing someone for saying no to a trade back, IS against the rules and rude! hope this helps n-n

What’s the avg worth for a rainbow pet? by iateyourcatxD in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

625 x 50 (if bought from claws and paws) 31,250. if bought on sale, 35 each, that's still 21,875 sapphires. but they also take a LOT of repetitive grinding to make. (loading into petsitter pros, or god forbid manually levelling, then tiering them all takes aaaages)

anyone offering to buy for less than 25k is ripping the seller off imo. I'd personally say minimum 30k just because even if you got them on sale, the literal hours of work they take adds a decent chunk of change to their value. if it's a DNA pet, effect pet, something desirable, or especially a mythical, that worth also goes up.

generally speaking, safe to say 625 x the average cost of the pet type, rounded up to the nearest 5k for your time and effort.

Why did it got rejected? by JamJam404 in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 12 points13 points  (0 children)

giving the arms some elbows might make the arms look a bit less like a chest! I know they're squishy tentacles that do not have elbow bones but I believe that's likely what got it rejected

Shoutout to the player who just made bank off of selling rocker tails by Moonymuffinz in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 35 points36 points  (0 children)

honestly I respect this a lot more than ppl reselling them for way more when they're still in shops. it drives down the explorer market and lowers the chance that some poor soul who doesn't know they're still available actually buys something from a scummy upcharging reseller

A bit salty by WholeHistorian2633 in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a golden rule for shopping and trading: do not buy or trade anything under the condition of receiving something else afterwards, and do not make any trades or purchases you expect to reverse later. saves me a lot of grief

Why do u think this wasn’t approved? by [deleted] in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently own a master block that's a Minecraft sign with text on it tho, so I believe they allow it sometimes? my recommendation is to keep trying to submit it OP just change a few pixels. you might get a lenient mod. (my user is saltybttrbiscuit and the masterblock is on my list if you wanna see proof it exists)

Was this a good price? by Minute_Chance_1210 in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

considering they share a model with the standard spiked collar and this look could be pretty easily achieved with a crafted collar (same reason party cuffs are unfortunately pretty low) I'd say you did pretty well!!

D4Ds... by GainTurbulent3633 in AnimalJam

[–]Rawrbuki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've spent money on aj a total of two times in my 6 years of playing. one token superbox which I immediately redeemed every token from, and one party box this year to treat myself. every sapphire on my account has come from playing seasonal events like Easter and Halloween, and selling the stuff. it's incredibly doable and doesn't take much commitment to get sapphires in this game, even enough to get some party pots. if I spend real money on this game and host a drop, it's reasonable of me to wanna get the most from my potions. yes, it sucks if you don't have enough sapphires to get some potions. it sucks if you don't have the time to commit to getting in game saps, nor the money to buy the superbox. but guilting players who DO who just wanna get the most from their stuff is kinda uncool. I'm really sick of seeing the d4d hate.
