How a silly doodle turned into something

A strange creature was born, from the depth of a giggle.My fiance and I have a 3D printer. We had switched to TPU and an error was occurring. Once he figured it out (he's the technical one), he started to explain it to me and draw out a diagram.

Looking at it, I couldn't help but see someone in that drawing. I giggled a bit, and then took the paper when he was done explaining. This is what came out of it.

We both were amused by it. In fact, he liked it so much he told me I should 3D model him. I've only begun doing that, so I know that it was take me a long, long time. That, and I didn't even know what the rest of him looked like yet. This little fellow didn't have a name even. So, I decided to pull out my sketchbook and start drawing!


I loved how he developed! He looked like he was part chinchilla and something else. Kirk thought he looked like a fox when I first drew him. Whatever creature he really is, I find him amusing. But, he still didn't have a name! So last night, I began coloring him. I used green for his jacket, because recently I've started using a lot of green. I feel like the only time I use it is for an orc or a goblin, so I've been trying to incorporated it more into my work. When it got late, I had to rest because I could no longer see the drawing without my sight blurring. This morning, I finished the touch up work on him,


Finally! I had him drawn. But still, I have no name for him. I uploaded him and was about to write a description, when I heard a name shouted out from the back of my mind. Rupert! Rubert the castle scribe, best scribe in the kingdom! And so, his name came to be.


I cannot believe such a piece came out of trying to see something in a design of a 3D printer extruder. I thank my fiancee for drawing that and explaining the problem with it to me. Otherwise, I may have not come up with such an interesting character.

Mog Central Pen Pal

Mog Central: Pen Pal, Kupo! Remember how I said there would be more to come? This is that more to come I was talking about. This is a new pen pal system for people who like to write old fashion letters and have a love of Final Fantasy moogles. Or, if you just want a moogle, you can just buy one. Signing up for the pen pal would be optional. How it works: You buy either a hand sewn moogle or a mini pom pom moogle and ask to sign up for the system. No names are given except the name of your moogle. Every letter is meant to be addressed to the 'moogle', which keeps the pen pal anonymous. (Or, if you are someone who wants to keep in contact of a friend in a cute way, specifically buy two moogles and say which moogle you specifically want to write back and forth from.) Then, the writing can begin! Reasons why you might want to join the pen pal system: Getting a letter in the mail that isn't an ad or a bill is exciting Those who pay for the pen pal syste

Where have I been

Work and many things have gotten me stress. Not only that, but I've just been... sad... a lot. Like really sad. Like "what's the point of doing something" sad. I'm looking into what to do about it. My husband and my best friend has been sticking to me and trying to motivate me to do the things they know tend to make me happy. Some days are better than others. I appreciate them both, as they are my biggest support. It's been hard to dig out of that hole and put of the fake happy face at work. But the time I get home, I'm so emotionally spent I just want to sleep. Like I said, I am going to look into this and probably go see someone about it. Just getting up the courage.  Besides stress at work, I've been staying home with my puppers. A lot has happened to him in the last week. He has been diagnosed with diabetes and ruptured discs in his lower back.  He's 12 years old and a Chiweenie mix ( Chihuahua and  Dachshund). We're thinking it must have b
