Slowly working on setting up a backerkit, it's a decent amount of work so with the busyness of Christmas approaching I'm plodding along with it when I can 💙💙 this photo was tooooo cute not to share though!!

Always happy to! Same with manufacturers, or recommendations etc

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone. I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Introduce yourself with five animals you’ve seen in the wild: 1: Orange bellied parrots 2: Brown bear 3: Platypus 4: Rakali 5: Bilby (pred proof sanctuary, but I'm counting it lol) This was actually really hard, I've seen so many cool animals 😭

Here's the latest prototype!! Featuring the new hind legs, pawpads, longer tail and sleeker front paws! I also got photos of the zip this time to show just how well it blends in. I'm finally happy with this guy and going to start setting up for preorders, so more detailed info coming soon(ish)!

I think... The thylacine is done. New prototype is here, stuffed it tonight and going to look again with fresh eyes tomorrow and probably get some nice photos tomorrow but 👀 I think I'm finally happy with it.

Thylacine update! They sent me photos of the newest prototype and 🤞 I don't want to get my hopes up, they've said they're posting to me today (no tracking number yet, last time it took a while to post) but once it's in my hands I'll let you guys know, but the back legs definitely are an improvement!

Bit of a thylacine update - I'm still working out the newest edits with the manufacturer. To be honest they've been really difficult to work with and have changed a lot on me during the process, the latest change was pretty massively increasing the unit price 🫠 I'm still working things out but

Just want to be transparent about why I don't have any updates or anything and haven't for a while. Obviously will update ASAP and I'm planning on messaging them again on Monday.

I am a SFW artist and I stand with NSFW artists and creators. Do not participate in the blackout. Shout your opposition to censorship loudly. Shame on the bsky moderation team. Do not comply in advance. No one is free until everyone is free. #bskycensorship #blueskyblackout2025

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

Just a little update on the thylacine, it's been posted back and is almost back in China now! Just waiting on it to clear customs. I'm heading out on a school camp next week to the desert so won't have any reception until I'm back late Friday.

These photos are poor because the lighting in my house is so yellow. The next prototype came in and I'm still not super happy with it, so done modifications myself. The front legs are swapped, paws added, hips thinned. The second and third photos show the thinned paw and hip compared to the old one.

🌿Arinaca

I'm gonna make a paper pattern to alter the back legs, make a calico pattern for the manu to reference for the back legs so theyre more shaped and with an ankle and curve. The straight back legs don't look as alive to me and that's the last thing I want to fix! So much happier with it though :D

The new prototype is in, I'm... Still not sold on it, there's some things that bug me about it so going to leave it a few days and come back to it. What I do love though is the new paws, the pads are sooo much more visible! The new nose is perfect too and the ears are a bit more rounded 👌

🌿Arinaca
@arinaca.bsky.social

Ideally I want a blend of the two prototypes, I've talked to the manufacturer and they're fine with me editing the plush myself and sending that back for them to reference, so I'm strongly considering doing that.

@arinaca.bsky.social

I'm probably being too picky but I really want to make this guy close to perfect and something I'm really proud of. Also excuse the speedy outdoor photos, my car is playing up so didn't want to go somewhere nice and risk driving 🤣

✨Thylacine Update for US buyers!!✨ I haven't put up the proper preorder asking for funds yet, for US people that are keen on the thylacines I'll be doing a different preorder process for you while this tariff situation is all over the place. At the moment I'm thinking a small deposit to

Lock in your order. When the plush are finalised and sent to me to post out, see what the situation is like then and go from there. I don't want anyone to miss out that's keen, but things are so all over the place so I don't want to take full payment from US people while it's so uncertain 💙

Thylacine update from the manufacturer! Changed the underside of the paws to minky so the pads stand out way more, the ears are a little more rounded and the back legs and tail are longer now. I'm waiting on a video of the face so I can get a better feel for it, but I'm soooo happy with those paws!!
