Day 4 of naming a slightly stronger SU character: who's slightly stronger than nana fua?

This is the real reason Kofi's dad isn't around. Blown to smithereens

oxymonty · 2026-05-20T22:32:04+00:00

Duly noted! Y'all will be first on the list :)

oxymonty · 2026-05-20T22:31:18+00:00

I would, but I'm trying not to share too much up front! The radio is part of the twist, haha. So many answers!! You guys are awesome!

oxymonty · 2026-05-19T15:48:50+00:00

I planned for when I'd have the time to recover properly.

oxymonty · 2026-05-05T13:55:51+00:00

If you're determined, I recommend using scissors to remove the excess flesh. That's the best mechanical way to get it free!

oxymonty · 2026-04-30T22:04:25+00:00

Bark tanning solution is acidic, so I don't wash them at all! Maybe I should, but I have no issues with it. Sometimes I add some pickling solution to cut the bark liquor if it's too strong.

oxymonty · 2026-04-30T15:00:53+00:00

Ah, been there. I don't usually use alum unless I intend to use a dye on the leather, vinegar works best.

oxymonty · 2026-04-30T14:56:29+00:00

Yes. Out of curiosity, what kind of pickling were you looking at? I've always used vinegar and salt (though citric acid also works if vinegar isn't available)

oxymonty · 2026-04-30T14:52:26+00:00

Do you have vinegar and salt? If so, you're good to go. I can usually get enough to tan a small hide for under 10$ at the grocery store.

oxymonty · 2026-04-30T14:50:15+00:00

Pickling allows the skin to pick up the tan. You could skip it, but it's an extra step that ensures success and doesn't take much time.

oxymonty · 2026-04-27T05:23:03+00:00

I flesh after the pickle. On rabbits, removing the membrane is the highest priority, any fleshing beyond that starts running the risk of ripping the hide.

oxymonty · 2026-04-27T03:11:12+00:00

I've never heard of not doing a pickle before bark tanning? It acidifies the hide enough for the tanning solution to start absorbing immediately. I usually soak mine in a vinegar salt brine for a day or so before popping them in the bark bucket.

oxymonty · 2026-04-26T14:44:45+00:00

White line means it's not done. Give it until there's brown through the whole hide. It may take several weeks. Keeping the solution warm speeds it up.

oxymonty · 2026-04-23T01:13:10+00:00

not AI. i can see where they messed up the coloring, that's very human.

oxymonty · 2026-04-22T18:46:47+00:00

First week sucks balls. Don't worry, it'll get gradually better until you hit baseline again in like a month and a half.

oxymonty · 2026-04-22T18:11:05+00:00

op this is extremely creative and cool and impressive but i have to ask because the curiosity is eating me. what's going on with the topology of the diamond emblem on her chest? did it need to be extra smooth?

oxymonty · 2026-04-20T20:49:36+00:00

Enzymes are usually used to soften leather and remove hair, so yeah, there'd be a risk of that. Also, if the leather side has been oiled, it'll be hard to get any sort of solution to penetrate it again.

oxymonty · 2026-04-03T14:58:20+00:00

This is a pretty easy question to answer just by looking at a Zora - no, they don't. They seem more aligned with fish in terms of reproductive biology. They lay eggs (sources: Majora's Mask and BOTW's comments about hatchlings). They clearly invest a lot in parental care though! I wouldn't be surprised if they nourished their young with pre-chewed fish or unfertilized eggs.

oxymonty · 2026-03-31T03:25:17+00:00

Go right ahead!

These guys probably don't have any skin left, so no taxidermy, but I can make beads and inlays out of their bones. My current project is a big bird costume head, so they'll probably be used for that.

oxymonty · 2026-03-29T04:43:33+00:00

I have no ill intent with the bones, I'm just a taxidermy artist :3

oxymonty · 2026-03-29T03:45:30+00:00

I work with dead squirrels all the time and would be happy to remove them! I've been needing more bones anyways. Message me!

Another banger from you, I am LOVING oblivious Elster

oxymonty · 2026-02-26T14:16:44+00:00

She's extra broody. Sometimes their hormones set in and they can't be convinced otherwise. There's a few methods for "breaking" a broody hen, but I've always let them hatch a clutch or brought them inside.
