Well! I have Dr. Schrecklich ALMOST done! The last bits needed are footpaws (I have one, I need the other), RED hair (the grey is temporary) and pawpads for his handpaws. I had some, but they fell off. They were sewn on, and an hour later they fell off. And then I glued them on, and the same thing happened. I'm thinking of gluing then sewing. Might work? Thoughts?
Now, here's the issue with the hair. I have this perfect size patch of fur in white. It needs to be red. On a scrap of white I dry-brushed it red. I figured, you know, you can't always get the right color. Why no try the painting/dying ideas? The drybrush on a one by one square of fur took twenty minutes to do. I let it dry, then combed it out to make it soft again. It never did get soft. There was also a lot of powder coming off of it, and it turned pink. Has anyone drybrushed fur before? Any idea why it did this? Any suggestions on what kind of paint to use?
I'm thinking of trying to dye it next, but I don't want to use the sharpie/alcohol method. Not a big fan of the smell.
I'm almost happy with the head. I took suggestions from last time I posted him... even ones I didn't like. A lot of people told me to put a pink nose on him, and even more draw him with the nose. He doesn't have a pink nose. But whatever, he has one now. I hate it on him. It's not his character. But I kept getting told that he needs one, over and over. So here's your nose.

( BIG images ) Well, there you have it. All he needs is red hair, pawpads, and one more footpaw. Thoughts?
