So, for awhile now I've been working on the idea of a selkie costume, complete with a "skin," preferably worn to cover my torso, upper legs, and head. While a somewhat furry, velvety material might work, finding it and painting/staining it in those phocine gray/white shades might be more trouble than its worth. So I'm currently considering taking a gray hoodie, maybe cutting open the arms and shaping them like flippers, painting a seal's whiskers, nose, eyes and other facial features on the hood, maybe getting a strip of fur-like fabric to use as a belt, etc. It would be really cool if I could kneel down, pull the hood tight, and have the costume drape over me in such a way that it made me actually resemble a seal. Any advice on materials, patterns, how to cut hoodies, etc?

Ok, a friend of mine was talking about his mood swings on twitter, and I commented that a mood swing image of him riding a playground swing and shifting from one mood to the next would be pretty interesting. He immediately insisted I draw that image and send it to him, and so, while looking at his pictures and thinking about it, I realized that I could do an interesting picture where he shifted moods until he leaped off the swing into his boyfriend's arms and his mood shifted to happiness. The only problem is that I'm having trouble finding reference images of how a human body would look on a swing. Any suggestions?

Also, a few years back I created a model of the inner planes from dungeons and dragons, but it has since fallen apart. I'm thinking about trying to give it another go.

Ok, I've been visiting Deviantart for years now, as almost every one of my favorite webcomic artists and more than a few of my friends are on here. Better late than never?
