My grad cap fell out of my closet while I was looking for something, and I realized I never shared it here. This is my sister’s work, and I’m still so grateful for her making it a reality. I couldn’t ask for it to be better. <3
I thought the quote was fitting for the ending of my journey through public school; that sign on the iceberg, in a way, marked the end of an important part of my childhood. So many memories came to a close the day club penguin shut down.
Now all of my childhood friends have grown up with me and gone their separate ways, and the years leading up to that day I walked shut their doors to prepare for a new chapter. I’ll cherish the memories I made, and keep them in my pocket as I see what the future holds for me. To all the friends who made me who I am, Waddle On <3

So happy birthday Club Penguin! Have a ghost!
Does anyone else think human doctor two brains look like bill nye or I'm tripping...
Same nose and hair and everything wtf, LOOK.
Did this for an art contest, and I'm actually kinda proud with how it turned out! I also learned along the way that fabric and felt mesh a lot easier than I had originally thought, as I was able to attach the dress with my needle without much of a problem.
But anyway, they fit nicely with my collection! Even if I don't win I still gained something out of it :3
To help promote both versions of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, THQ hosted a contest that would allow fans of the series to draw their own Hero design and submit it to be placed on a billboard (as long as the submitters were from the UK). Out of all the submissions, there were ten regional winners:
However, the simple sprites created in the Hero editor were not what was put onto the billboards. Instead, THQ hired an artist to create higher quality artwork to be hung instead, making them the only "Fan characters" to have official art from THQ.
All 10 of these winners were given copies of both versions of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter and were invited to a premiere party, where their artwork was showcased:
Rattober from a few years ago. I'm doing rattober again this year, but in traditional medium. I'll post them when I get everything scanned.
reblog this rat until staff gets involved

Currently suffering a hyperfixation on a Roblox character lol. Mr. Angler/Whale/Shrimp Man totally snuck up on me and idk why or how X)
He’s fun to draw and write, though! I actually really want to felt him :3
Part 4, and last part of the felted penguin tutorial!
Now that you have your beak, it’s time for the feet. From all the other penguins I’ve felted, I was running out of orange felt— you can use more than in the picture if you’d like to! Just make sure to cut/tear them as even as you can.
Again, for the feet I usually just place the felt on and go from there, but you can always make the shape beforehand.
Face the feet at an angle under the penguin, more towards the front than the back. Also try to get them as flat as you can, these will be the only thing holding your penguin up! Please do not give your penguin a concussion by dooming it to fall over and over again, the poor little guys.
Next up we’re working on the eyes. If your penguin has a mask, sunglasses, etc, this step is completely optional. Here I could have switched to my smaller needle, but I stuck with medium.
You can shape the penguin’s expression a bit more here with how you shape the eyes— for example, since AA is more attentive, I gave her wider, slightly sloped eyes.
Applying them is about the same as applying the white felt on the belly. Place a small amount of white felt above one side of the beak, shape it as you tighten it, and do the same for the other side. Make sure not to leave any space between the white of the eyes and the beak, and of course, get it as flat as you can.
Lastly, add the black part of the eyes! Use a VERY small amount of black felt, as it pops out a lot.
If you have felting scissors, you can also snip away extra bits of felt around the sides to make it look cleaner. AA definitely needs a bit more of a trim XD
I’ll get to her clothes sometime, but for now, here’s your penguin tutorial!
:OO THAT'S SO COOL
