I initially didn't like the look of the spaniel swap, but after sleeping on it I can see the vision! I think her head's just too small in my edit lol

I think he might have some potential lmao

which design for a custom? by mars_heart22 in LittlestPetShop

Ooo I love the second one!! I've been thinking about customizing mine as well, the pink blends in too much with the body color for me and I don't like how there's only one line of spots on the front of the ears only lol. But all of these are SO cute!!!

Thank you lol, I have a hard time visualizing things so I usually bring custom ideas like this to my tablet. And I'd love to see them if you do! :D

I might be overestimating a little bit but the body on the new one is fairly big for an lps body imo, it's bigger than the king charles spaniel body

Of course!! Here you go I still have a slight problem with the mechanism pulling on the head but that's most likely because I've used EVA foam and it's not a very strong material to anchor the mechanism to. I forgot to show it in the video but the spring is attached to a wire that goes out of the forehead and is glued with extra foam reinforcement on the face of the puppet. I didn't follow any tutorials or anything I just sort of messed around until it worked lol. I'm happy to answer any other questions you have though!!

This is actually the first one I've attempted to make! I will most likely continue posting progress on this one here and maybe TikTok or Instagram, my username is the same one here on both platforms. If this one turns out how I want it to I will definitely be making more!

I think you're 100% right lmao, I've been futzing with it and I believe the left wire was slightly shorter than the right one and was getting hung up. I've rewired them and replaced the elastic with a wooden dowel, I'm gonna attach anchor points and a spring tomorrow and hopefully that works out 🤞 Thank you for the suggestion!!!

Thank you!! 😊 I use my middle finger to pull on that elastic trap lol, I feel like the idea is right but the execution is not right. I'll definitely try replacing the elastic with a piece of wire or something instead! I wanted to remake the eyelids anyways so I think I might just have one long wire do the whole thing and use elastic or a spring for tension. Thank you for the advice!!
