#(lurk)

Actually this might’ve been posted before idk im lurking HARD rn

This is just a quick showcase of my ghoulcloak before I post the steps to make one (I need to pre shrink that fabric. It's in the wash right now).

First off, there are a bunch of different ways to make a cloak. I made a very simple half circle cloak in a fairly short length (about 40". It falls to approximately my hips). This maximizes mobility while still being long enough to cover me completely while crouching. A longer cloak would be difficult to move quickly in the woods. The cloak includes a capelet and hood.

It's made of two colours of wool. I chose to do it in two different colours to break up my silhouette. Even at night, most things aren't one solid colour. Having variety makes me less visibly human shaped (something your brain naturally looks out for), and prevents me from being too obviously out of place. I avoided a proper black, opting for dark grey and brown instead. Black can be too dark. Even at night, there's usually *some* light. Wool keeps me warm and handles water well.

There are loops at approximately wrist level to stick my hands through. These allow me to give the illusion of wings, as well as keep better control of the ends of the cloak while on the move.

Finally, I've added several tassles of the contrasting colour to the capelet. These help to further break up my silhouette, and are very weakly attached. They're the most likely place I expect someone to try to grab- in that event, they'll just rip off, like a lizard shedding its tail.

shes up aswell as the other stickers im getting made on my lurk page!! Im super happy with how those pages are coming along so far even if the new ones still need alot of work. 😅

also working on a proper website for my art comissions but doubt that will be ready in time for tails of summer as much as i wouod like it to be ready >.< its going to have a indie web feel i refuse (for the time being) to have a super coorprate looking website for my art especially since im one person.
