Making progress


It doesn't look like much of a progress, but it's some progress at least. At the moment I'm stitching the top piece to the body, and I wil be stuffing it a bit on the 'back' of the ship.
The bigger grey iece will get some stiching in black and light blue to to enhance some lines and lights. I almost wish I had some tiny glas beads for lights, but that would be too much work I think.



This is the Domi after some stuffing. Personally I think it looks rather awesome.

Space whale coming up!


This is the main body for the Dominix. It wasn't that hard to make, except the big lumb in the front. I guess I should have stuffed it a bit more, but I got tired of it, and I was helping a corpmate with a cyno. The stupid alt don't have a good overview; it sees pilots with blue standing in space and that's not very good when I'm stuck in a cyno frigate. One of the blue had been naughty so he was showing up red.... The cyno alt is using my mission alt's OV so that's why it's a bit messed up.

Back to the Domi. I do not think I will continue working of it tonight; it's getting late and if I start something now I wont be able to stop so I'll start tomorrow.
I think I'm gonna use pattern paper and trace on it, cut the fabric and stitch the fabric to the body. After that I'm looking forward to several hours of stitching lines and "lights" on it.

Running missions with the alt, or start working on an Ishtar pattern...?

Ogre Prototype



Question: What do you do when you're bored and have nothing to do?
Answer: You knit your own Ogre.

It may look like a strange, mutated mouse, but it's not. It's a heavy Attack Drone, and though it may look cuddle it isn't really.

I do not know which yarn I used for it, but it might be some kind of mixture of wool and acrylic. Luckily I had two colours simulare to the Ogre's real colours (at least the tech 1 version), and I had some spare black DMC for making details.

It kind of looks like a skull with the dots and something that looks likes smile, and two pigtails on top of it's head.
Over and all it was fun to knit it, although I might make a pattern next time I knit one (if CCP are Ok with it, I might start selling drones for ISK). A pattern make it so much easier to keep track of the decreases and increases.

My next victim will be the Dominix, one of my favourite Battleships in EVE. It will be in shape of a pillow, probably 35 x 25 cm (14 x 10 inches). I need some more stuffing for it though, so I might head in to town and restock a bit. Chanses are that I'll buy some fabric as well, since I kind of promised to make an Avatar and an Ishtar (also one of my favourite ships).

Cheerio!
