The Neighbor's Kid

eeeeeeee tyy :D :D :D :D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

They're for the charms to my ear cuffs. I put together the charms today, just haven't attached them to the base. Got some pics of them assembled below

Front:

Back:

I need some opinions. But first- if this counts as art or something of such because I didn't make the charms themselves just the chain- I found these little octopus charms in Hobby Lobby and audibly gasped "omg Octonauts" and now I have semi-Octonauts earrings:

Struggled so bad to get a good picture of them actually on my ear but couldn't get it xd. Sorry that this one's blurry too, but hopefully you can still see it. Modeled by the great Calico Jack of course.

He looks like he's hanging it for its crimes-

Now for the opinions part: My two projects right now have merged, and I know Shellington doesn't wear ear jewelry canonically, but I may or may not have drawn some designs to wear with my cosplay in prep for the con I'm going to next month ouo. (Honestly if these do come out looking good I may never take them off -u- they wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've seen in a Walmart)

But- my design for them has options, and I can't decide which. I want a big decorative piece on top of the cuffs, and I have 2 ideas to choose from. My sister couldn't decide either, neither could Mom, so I've come here for some backup.

Sorry for the poor notes layout I didn't initially write this with the intention of sharing it TuT

Poor handwriting aside my I-can't-decide thing here is the big decor on the top. My two ideas are A: Tunip's stem, pictured on the left. Or B: pieces of coral, pictured on the right. Would be fan coral pieces from the reefs in the show (thought about coloring the bottom one to hint at Corey from the GBR special)

I thought about combining the ideas together? If it would still make sense that the giant green things amongst the reef are Tunip's stem leaves? But I don't know if there'd be room left for my glasses to sit on my ears. Because jinkies I can't see without my glasses and we can't have a blind Shellington stumbling free and in the wild in the con xd.

Thought I'd pop in with an update on my MC Octopod

Fulfilling my promise of having more then just a bubble engine to show over and over ToT

The chisel-bitting is really starting to drive me insane. I already knew I was doomed when this mechanical amalgamation ended up on a diagonal wall... but I think this will do.

I could build it on a diagonal... I'd just have to chisel & bits the whole thing...

No- no, stop it. I already skipped the Gup attachment storage thingie as a break from the bits... just to come here for... more... bits.

In all seriousness I'm getting close to finishing the Launch Bay, it's mostly just stuff that needs to be custom built like this engine here. I mostly wanted to show an update just cause its been a long while since I made an actual post of something from myself and I felt bad.

Don't worry, you can publish this. I'm sharing art.

Ye, it's this one! Its kinda become my primary MC skin at this point. I do have others I rotate between, but I just really like my Paani skin

Went back and remade my Bubble Engine (this was a while ago but I only like yesterday remembered to fly down there & get pictures xd) So many pixels... *shivers*

Alternative angle of the arms & the computer interface:

And a closer look at the custom floor I made in the center in my attempt to better match the in-show floor. (You may still have to click or zoom in to tell there's a pixel grid TuT sorry, it's just really small)
