YBR

January 17, 2023

Ybr is a someone who you may recognize from the ✦Frayed Threads✦ part of this website.
well now I made ybr real
probably shouldn't have done such a thing.

but well. things happen did anyway.

...

yknow. heres a funny piece of trivia-
in making of this felt, was the last one ive done for when the phone I had at the time died and had to get a loveless replacement.
and if that shit aint symbolic with ybr causing nothing but misery... i dont know what is.

the body length and the wing span are more or less that of a full ruler mesurment.

and the head can pop off. the neck is hollow.

burn bark color pile spine length

step one, collect bark of western Red Cedar and Pacific Madrone for *symbolism*. step two, burn it.
step three, realize its probably a bad idea to be doing that shit inside.
get the colors all sorted out and ready. make the basic length of what the will be the spine.

first verts vert pile collar bones

So ybr is this beast that is a half skeleton... thing. so there will be a bunch of bones.
gotta make the vertebrae of the spine.
and got a couple of paper clips, broke and bent them accordingly to then become inside the arms

rib base rib color vert hole

and as the verts of the spine, I also gotta do the ribs of the chest. and such.
turn the verts into beads by shoving them through a chopstick to get the holes

sternum ribs more ash bend ribs

put the ribs on the sternum. collect more bark ash, this time by doing it outside. make the ribs bent round.

ribs round round verts arm hair

so the vertabrae I've made have that... thing sticking out. i forgot what theyre called.
but its where especially big muscles are to attach to bone. so the bone has to match with extra material.
well these verts are just circles. the thing jutting out isnt needed.
... not that ybr even has any goddamn muscle.

okay and then i started wetting some parts out. this is for the arm hair.

thumb make claw digit thumb on

THE HANDS
THE HANDS
THE HANDS WERE A BITCH AND A HALF TO MAKE
and hooo im so damn proud of myself for making the hands to such a degree of detail.

both thumbs half finger finger pile

vert pile

got all the verts i need. the muscled, and the round, and even the spinal disks to go between.

half hand hand hand

fuck you

oh ybr you funny... dont worry the feeling is mutual between me and you.

hand off hand on

dry arm arm mane hair pile

make more wettings. that of the arm hair and the neck hair. which i guess the technical term for neck hair is mane.

vert through

neck layer mane style neck tube

get stuff in of the neck. stylize up the mane, dont know yet how to make the wool appear fluffy while still holding on.
bring out old trusty Lambchop to help with making the neck.

style arm arm haired hairy arms

arm loop

head base head blades put spine

spine verts neck head put together

putting the parts together. now then to put the put together parts... together.

shoulder put hold body

shit. i could have said the stopping point was at the now. and it would make sense.

big ribs small ribs

theres the big ribs that go from the sternum to spine. and then theres small ribs that go from spine to air.

hollow neck

oh yeah so the neck is a hollow tube, the head is to be as a plug. the neck can fit a marker in itself snuggly.
had some bark put in the space between chest and neck.

stuck verts body balance spine end

after the body is put together, time to make sure the verts wont slide around.

marker hold palm tone

eraser head mask cut face blue

so no head? there is.

eye size head hair

took 3 tries to get the eyes juuuust right.

the next trio of photos has blood. its for symbolic character mumbo jumbo.

heart shape heart blood heart ash

make ybrs heart. one side has my blood, the other side has the rest of the bark ash.

heart chest

put the heart in the chest. had to make sure its not too small to slip between the ribs. not too big to even fit.
