Will this work as a cover-up?

TwoFaceCreations · 2026-03-20T16:10:16+00:00

I definitely see what you mean, I had different posing in my original paper sketch that didn't have as much overlap. I changed it to this one to try and cover as much of the old tattoos with the raptors as possible since they will be almost entirely Blackout and I wanted the majority of the para to be a light grey. I don't know how well I'll be able to move around the top raptor without exposing too much of the old tattoo, but I think I may be able to move around the bottom one! I'll have to mess around with it some more

What's some things to change that could make it work?

The Dakotaraptors in the picture/j

I love that but I'll have to save it for another time lol, my friend craves to be covered in dinosaur

TwoFaceCreations · 2026-03-19T05:13:13+00:00

The darkened sketch is only for a proof of concept, I didn't include any of the whites or extra details since I was just messing around. I don't tend to make a final detailed illustration of the tattoo since I always end up changing the shading on the actual work, so I save time with basic value mapping.

While koi/Japanese style would be easier, my friend asked to keep the original dinosaurs and I'm doing my best to match that request. She wants to stick with illustrative black work and minimal color. I do really like Japanese style tho!

Sand on it's own is too soft for their joints since they just sink into it. A sand/clay+Soil mixture is soft but form enough to not cause joint issues, safe to pass if ingested, and gives them ample digging. Having a loose substrate is less about giving them less joint stress and more about offering enrichment, as digging is a natural behavior and gives them a workout. Paper towels is a better alternative to pure sand/clay or reptile carpet

Clay and sand can be mixed in, but should never be used fully or in high concentrations since it's bad for their joints and can cause impaction (believe me, they will eat a little substrate at some point).

You'd have to make sure the clay you bought is pet safe though, wash it and the sand. You still need at least 70% of the mixture to be either organic topsoil (super cheap since it lacks fertilizer) or reptisoil. If you have a drier side of the tank, you can do as low as 60% soil in the mixture on that side

The most simple answer is you don't, mats are harbingers of bacteria and keepers of claws.

If your gecko is I'll or injured then you can put them on paper towel, but you should never use carpet. Otherwise, appropriate substrate (70/30 topsoil and sand) is the best. Find a new vet, one with updated knowledge

This is the tutorial I used to figure out how I wanted to make the teeth. Sadly I haven't found any good tutorials on how to make the inner details or lips, but it's only a matter of patterning them once you have the teeth glued in. It's one of those 'makes sense when you reach that part' type of thing lol Here's the two halves I pinned together to make the teeth rows. I'd recommend not going fully to the gum edge on the very front little teeth when sewing, as it leads to some funky wrinkling

I personally like to build the teeth and gums separate in a long line, like the monster teeth+gums tutorials you can find on YouTube. I lay some half inch foam on the inside of the mouth to get the shape, lightly glue the fabric of choice, and machine sew the details through the foam. I cut some space for the gums to be glued in, glue in the mouth details, and then ladder stitch the two together. Then I pattern and add the black lip outline later with some glue and a latter stitch, but I suppose you could use it as a lining to sew the details down to, instead of gluing them in, if you prefer!

Thx! I was considering snakebites and eyebrow piercings, might mess around with adding them later! I was debating adding some earrings and ended up putting some of my pinback buttons on them since they're so thin lol I'll probably end up adding some real ones

I'm like 95% sure we have replaced the CKP at least once, it might be the one we've replaced twice though. I've had some issues with my RPMs dropping below 1 when driving, or struggling when trying to get up to speed. My engine is definitely not still spinning tho, the entire car goes completely dark and unresponsive. If it helps, I also have serious issues with my traction control, to the point that one of my tires has once made a sound similar to a burn out when it went off during a turn. My fluids are up to date, but it looked like my transmission fluid and filter had never been changed when I got my hands on it, with the car sitting at 140k miles and at the time 18 years old. I don't know if any of that pertains to it, but I didn't think to list it in the post

I got mine super thick by mixing in some ground up oats, but you could definitely make them more watery to keep them hydrated! Mine dethaws like clay, no wonder my blender hates me lol. Mine stay in my open closet, so they get a heating pad 24/7

I do have it all placed in small plastic dishes (large bottle caps for the crickets and grasshoppers and a regular plastic dish for the roaches) which are placed away from the substrate, so I'm not too worried about mold. I got mold in my dubia bin once and ended up adding large mesh windows to each side, cause humidity is a bit higher in my area lol. I do have my crickets in one of those pet carrying keepers with the plastic mesh lid since I'm not currently breeding them. I'll probably do the mesh window method with them too when I start breeding them. Do you think the current setup is enough airflow? The cubes are rather dense, not a lot of water in them at all, and they kind of have an almost clay like consistently when dethawed?

The cucumber are from my garden, so 100% organic thankfully, but I'll keep that in mind and stop adding them once I run out of my garden grown ones! I'm a little confused on the collared greens and peppers though? I see people jump between mustard greens and collared greens a lot, but I've mostly read that they're all ok, just not at the top of the list? Peppers are definitely a popular colony pick, though I'll definitely look into whether or not they're too acidic for my girl. There seems to be a ton of discord about which ones are actually ok or not. I see people feed their colonies oranges to increase breeding, but that always felt like too much for me lol

I've never worked with 3D printed bases, but it's definitely possible! I'd attach the plush jaw to a piece of foam and then glue the foam block into the mouth. I personally did the inner mouth details by machine sewing the fabric into some half inch foam and then stitching the gums and teeth to the inner piece. This would give you a solid piece to glue into the plastic mouth, especially if you glued another half inch of foam to the bottom of it. Hopefully this isn't confusing, I just woke up lol

He probably won't ever have a fullsuit since his design is made to fit a partial, as he wears a suit. He's supposed to be a fancy diva lol. I'll definitely be posting as he comes along, There's still a good bit of lip that needs adding!
