This is my first amigurumi, and I'm pretty happy with how he turned out!
"Amigurumi (編みぐるみ, lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll"Ahzoh wrote:Amigurumi?
Also nui means sewing, so it's just replacing sew with knit.din wrote:Well done!

It's one of my concountries, the Republic of the Pearl Islands. As their "official" language is English, said permit is in English. (I was lazy and didn't want to come up with a separate language for said country, so I used the shortcut of using English as theirs. Plus, it's further justification for the English on the Ilian and Telemor passports and visas.)hwhatting wrote:What (con)country is the residence permit issued by? Why is it English-only? The ones of countries I know are mostly either national-language-only or national language(s) plus English.
Nah, that's a stuffed Mushu plush that I use as the photograph subject for the documents I post.Civil War Bugle wrote:Also, is that guy an agent of the space lizards that control the world or something?
Ah, understood. I just was wondering because the names of the months seem to be non-English, so I thought that the national language was not English.vampireshark wrote:It's one of my concountries, the Republic of the Pearl Islands.

A lot of the places in my conworld use a somewhat different calendar (because reasons) that starts, for example, at the vernal equinox and counts from there. The names are different because there's not the cultural background for the months that led to the names in English. (They also derive from the Telemor names, incidentally.) So... they're pseudo-English.hwhatting wrote:Ah, understood.

I like non-Latin-derived names of months (although I didn't implement that in Tautisca). Do you have a list anywhere?vampireshark wrote: A lot of the places in my conworld use a somewhat different calendar (because reasons) that starts, for example, at the vernal equinox and counts from there.

That, I do. Keeping in mind that the first month is Spring, the names go as: (Tel/Eng)hwhatting wrote:I like non-Latin-derived names of months (although I didn't implement that in Tautisca).

Some of the English names look like they went through the intermdiation of some Romlang?vampireshark wrote: Ilieuvir/Aguaver
