There is always something worth fighting for

Here they are without their cloak. No antennae or little wings, unfortunately. The body isn’t PERFECT, but it is pretty close to how I think they’d look. I used normal acrylic paint to paint it.

The body is made of trash, cardboard, paper bags, tissue paper all that I had lying around. The outer shell is made from a whole roll of toilet paper I soaked in water and shredded, then wrung out before adding back more water and mod podge until it was a workable consistency.

I only have the one progress pic. The whole process took several days lmao. I had to do it in sections, and each section had to dry fully before I added more.

The cloak took forever. It’s made with some scrap netting I got from someone I knew. The moss and lichen is made from some fluffy green yarn I bought along with some actual jute people use to make real ghillie suits (it’s basically just tough yarn. I got it online). There’s twine to tie it onto the Stilkin.

You can see that I tied each string of jute to the mesh by hand. It took hours and I wouldn’t recommend doing it, but the cloak is insanely sturdy because of it. The fluffy yarn was hot-glued on because I couldn’t be bothered to continue going one by one.

To make it look worn and dirty,I brushed out the jute with a cat brush, and then I collected dust from some chalk pastels I had from years ago and just rubbed the cloak into the dust until it looked dirty enough.
