The Mermaids and mutants topic

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, here it is, a topic devoted to mermaids, and of course, mutants, of all sorts.

I myself have made several of these, including an armadillo mutant, two different red panda mutants, and even an albatross mutant. So what do you all think? Pretty cool? Well, if you want to see a list of the mermaids and mutants I've created, then I can post the list here sometime. Anyway, if anyone else likes this topic, then please reply to this. As for mermaids, I recently made one which I call the Round Tailed Mermaid. This one has a manatee's tail, not the tail of a fish. Maybe I should mess around with different fish forms, and see what other mermaids I can come up with. Anyway, the round tailed mermaid is the latest creation. MMaybe some day I'll make prototypes of these creatures so you can see what brilliant ideas they are. Anyway, I guess that's the end of this piece of news for now, so I'll post if there's more news.

Sounds great with a mermaid with a round tail !!!!

I do not really have any mermaids or mutants, - not because I do not like them, but somewhere I have to put the limit to my ever-growing collection

Do you sculpt? I would love to see your creations!

Dear Sts Friends:

No, I don't sculpt. I've never been very good with clay, so you know, I'm not very good. The round tailed mermaid idea came from my head, only because I combined a person with a manatee, and that was the result. Anyway, I can tell you all that I'm going to be working on some tortoise models, using clay and buttons. If anyone is interested in seeing these when they're finished, I would be glad to show you. Also, I've made a Penguin mutant too. That one is a recent idea. Anyway, let me know if you need help with your mutant ideas, and I'll see what I can do.

Aschuck

P.S. For those of you using fabric as your format, that actually is a good idea. By fabric, I mean making your ideas in to plushies. I really don't know if anyone collects plush on this forum, but it's worth a shot to ask.

I collect plush dogs as part of my collection of canines !

Now and then I try knitting animal models

They sound interesting- and your round tailed mermaid could be called a cryptid maybe, as manatees are sometimes given as inspiration for mermaids.

I don't collect mermaids or mutants, but I've seen at least a couple people here mention that they do. Your idea of a penguin mutant I'd love to see!

I know at least one or two other people here collect plushies also, I remember seeing some Beanie Babies in somebody's post.

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, guys, I've made a new mermaid. This one has the tail of a sailfish, and also has the tall fin too. Roger, I'm glad you like the armadillo mutant. I've also done a penguin, and albatross mutant too. Another mermaid I've done is called the Chameleon of the Sea. This one looks like a salmon, but she can change in to a mermaid at will. She has the camouflaging abilities of a chameleon, so that's why she has the name that she does. When in mermaid form, she retains the salmon scales on her upper half, and has the tail of a salmon. Anyway, these are just some of the mermaids and mutants I've done. Well, that's the news for now, so I'll post if there's more.

Aschuck

WOW !!! it seems you have tons of wonderful imagination

How I would love to see them

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, I've finally found a way to successfully make the mermaids I've thought of. See, it works like this:

First, you take an 18-inch doll (The kind that you might find at Jo Annes Fabrics), and you remove the legs. Then you sew your mermaid tail, and attach it to the body of the doll, and there you are. Anyway, if this advice helps those of you making plushies, then use the advice. After all, it's my idea, but it's free for you all to use. As for other news, I haven't thought of any new mermaids or mutants yet, but I'll let you know when I do. Well, that's the news, so I'll post if there's more.

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, I've finally done it. a Flamingo mutant. This guy has a flamingo's neck and head, a man's body and a Flamingo's feet. At some point, I might be able to show you photos or something of all these, and I will, once they're made, that is. Anyway, in the meantime, I think I'll compile a list of all the mutants and mermaids I've made so far. As for other news, I've also done an alpaca mutant. This one has a man's body and the neck and head of an alpaca. Oh man, I'd love to see these creations in plastic figure form, but it's doubtful that Safari will take my ideas seriously, seeing as how they do have a company to run, and all that, but still ... we can still dream, and try to create these ourselves, right? I think you know what I mean, right? Well, if anyone else likes these ideas of mine, then please reply to this topic. I'll probably post here again if there's any more news.

Aschuck

That sounds interesting! Maybe you could make a dog mutant next!

Dear Sts Friends:

Okay, so, right now, I've had another burst of creativity, which has resulted in more mutants. At some point, I'll make a list of which ones I've done, and share the list with you. As of right now, the list isn't made yet. I can tell you that I've made a guinea pig warrior, among other things. So, if anyone wants, they can reply to this topic with new mutant ideas for me to try to picture. Remember, though, that none of these mutants are in physical form yet. That comes later. For now, I'm on the hunt for ideas. So, what do you think? Sound good? Well, if anyone has any ideas for me they would be welcome here. In the meantime I'll just keep on creating. Also, I'm planning on trying to make these mutants in some form, and when I've succeeded in this, I'll show you all my work.

Aschuck

P.S. The list of mutants does not include creatures, such as dragons and so forth. However, I am planning on making the creatures too, not just the mutants and mermaids.

I love mutants and hope, that Papo make new ones. And i want to see your mutants.

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, I think I've found a way of showing you some of the mutants I've created. All I need now is somebody who's good with manipulating photos and all that. So, this project looks promising, if you don't mind the mutants being shown as photos first. Keep in mind that I haven't found a way to reproduce them in figure or plush format yet, I'm still working on that. Anyway, the word is, yes, I can show you all these, at some point. As for recent creations, I've made an arctic werewolf, and that's probably the newest thingy. Anyway, I'll keep you posted if there's more.

Dear Sts Friends:

Okay, I've finally done it. I've made a list of fictional people which I have created. I'll be sure to share the list with you at some point, but for now, here is a little taste for those of you that recognize that in the field of fictional creatures and other stuff, I am really talented.

Fun fact: Many of my fictional creatures are created simply because of fabrics I see, or buttons that lead to inspiration. Others are created because I see them as PVC figures in dreams, and still others are just pictures in my head, which float in front of my face sometimes. As for new additions to the list, I've recently created a centaur like creature, but instead of the body of a stallion, this one has the body of an angora goat, with the torso of a man where the head should be. Now, to be fair, and to tell those of you that this has been done before, I can assure you that no figure brand, not even safari, has dared to do other species of centaur like creatures. Okay, now you're proably thinking, why is it so easy? The answer is, look at the figures you already have in your collection, and try picturing some of them in your head. This exercise is one of the tools I use when creating a new thing, whether it be a creature or person. A good example would be the leatherback hippo. This creature is actually a cross of two different animals, a leather back sea turtle, and a hippo. This creature has the body of a leather back sea turtle, but where the turtle's head should be there is the head of a hippo. Now, you'll probably be asking yourselves, Yeah, but why is it so easy for you? Well, the answer to that is,, I don't know. All I can tell you is that in this field, I am very gifted. Anyway, if anyone wants to see the list of fictional people, then let me know. If you want more info about my creations in general, then please email me. I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have.

Aschuck

Wow it sounds as though you have an amazing imagination, and I'd love to see some of your creations! And you have made such interesting creatures!

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, since you've said you want to see my mutants, I can't show them to you yet, I can only describe them to you because I haven't found a doable way of making them yet. However, there is hope. I just need to get my hands on an 18 inch doll, and then we can start experimenting with the mermaid ideas. I also need to get some sculpy clay, so I can show you all my different tortoises that I've created. See? This project isn't really in any form yet. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you knew if there's a fantasy designers' forum out there? The reason why I ask is that some of you don't seem interested in my ideas. Is this true, or what? Anyway, if you don't want to hear about my ideas, that's okay, but just know that my imagination runs very deep. The ideas I've shown you so far are only a fraction of what I've come up with as far as fantasy figures goes. Anyway, let me know what you think, and we'll go from there. I surely want to share my ideas with you all, but ... well ... you know what I'm trying to say, right? Anyway, just let me know how you feel. If you want to see more ideas, just ask me.

Aschuck

P.S. I have two documents full of ideas as of right now.

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, these days, I'm getting very creative with the mutants and mermaids I'm creating. One of these is called the finless merman, because he is a merman, who has the tail of a finless porpoise. Man, that creature makes for a cool mutant, if you can picture it yourselves. If you can't, then here's a short description:

Basically, what you do is you take a finless porpoise, and you cut off its front half, and you put the back half on the waist of a man, and there you go.

Anyway, the finless merman has already been around for a month or two, so that's great, for me anyway. And, well, I guess at this point a manta ray mutant wouldn't work out so well. Ohh well, I've tried to make this topic interesting for you all, so, let's see, what have I created lately? Well, I'm making a list of all the fictional people I've created, although at the moment, I don't know where it is. Maybe I'll post it here at some point. Also, if anyone wants to know more about the mutants that I create, then just let me know. I'll provide you with a list of these at some point.

Anyway, that's the news for now, as far as this topic is concerned, so I'll write if there's more.

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, I've found it, the list of mermaids and mutants and of every fictional person that I've created.

Just a note here: If any of you read this, and think it's boring, then let me know, and I won't write any more in this post. As for me, I'm just getting my ideas out there. Don't blame me if you're bored with these. They really are brilliant.

And that's all I'm doing for now. If you want more descriptions, then just ask me.

Aschuck

P.S. Some of these were created because of fabrics I've seen.

Dear Sts Friends:

Concerning the list in the previous post, this list is only a fraction of what I've created. I just thought I'd let you all know that, before you read the list for yourselves. Anyway, if there's any more news, I'll keep you posted.

Aschuck

What amazing imagination and some wonderful characters that you have created!
The next thing to do would be to write a story about them!

Dear Sts friends:

Well, I've done it, I think. I've finally found a way to show you all pictures of some of my fictional creatures. The way it works is that you take a creature that you've already created,and if it's a creature that's a cross of two animals, then you can make a picture of this using the program Paint. Now , granted I've never done this before, so this whole making pictures of what I'm thinking is sort of new to me. You've got to admit, it's a pretty cool idea, right? I mean, what could be cooler than seeing the Crested Duck in picture format? Just FYI, a Crested Duck is basically a mallard duck, who has the head of a rockhopper Penguin. Anyway, this is the latest development in the fictional creatures project, so I'll let you know how it goes. Also, if anyone is interested in how to make a fictional tortoise using buttons and sculpy clay, I would be glad to provide a tutorial.

Dear Sts Friends:

Hey, Mom and I are finally going to make some of my fictional creatures, using fabric. Does anyone want to see pictures when they're done? We've decided to start with the mermaids, so when we have some of them done, I'm planning to post pictures here. So if anyone wants to see the end results, let me know.
