As per folks asking, have the Joltik plush pattern on a DIN A 4 sheet!

First I sewed everything together from 1. - 3. and stuffed it. Next up come the 4 legs (I like to sew paw and leg parts together (4. + 5.) first before sewing both mirrored parts). 

Joltik love to crawl all around your room, preferably in high places , so adding small magnets inside the paws gives the Joltik a lot of potential hiding places! A round magnet with 10 mm x 1 - 2 mm might work best. A short furred Joltik might also need fringes like in 11. to stay warm... (The longer furred Joltik is able to hide any edges and weird proportions more efficiently as I noticed! Though both are nice to touch, so go with whatever you prefer or have on hand.)

They love th play with you, so help them out by only sewing the tips of the legs to the lowest part of the body. That way the Joltik has as much mobility as possible! More spidery that way, too!

Sewing the face is the most fickle part. I sewed extra backsides for the larger spikes and plan to add small ones on the short furred Joltik. (Small spikes didn’t really work with the long fur unfortunately...) Add a bit of wadding and a few stitches to get them into shape as well!

The eyes are done with cutting out felt! Cut a hole for the pupil and press the smaller felt inside. (I love to add a small gradient with a copic marker). The white hightlights can be glued on top and the whole eye can be glued and sewed on the face. 

For the finishing touches I trimmed some of the long hair on the long furred Joltik and glued the fur on the teeth together since that’s no place for long fur and pulled out any fur caught in between the seams.

For the short furred Joltik I plan to add more custom small spikes to the face and back (a feature the long haired Joltik doesn’t need). 

That’s all! And without further ado:

Feeding time~!

Kinda wild to see that people are still interested in our fan project, but I'm also very grateful for everyone? I didn't think so many people would be interested in what we would do? Big thanks to all that are reading this!

Our interests have shifted and they will continue to do so, but that's a normal process after all. However I'm proud we got to realize a bunch of ideas before the steam ran out (or more likely, real life happened, again).

Got nothing more to add than another thanks and have a good day!

Oh! By the way, we'll keep the blog up, so whoever wants to read it in the future can still do that.

Will you ever continue the Ask Glitch And Squid

Or draw errorink again? I was wondering since the last time you drew errorink was a year ago.

Interests shift, and considering that we started Ask-Glitch-and-Squid at least 5 years ago, I think it's more than understandable that ours do, too (that means my gf's and mine, as this was a project we've always been worked on together). We really tried to get back into things but it just doesn't happen. Sorry.

I understand and appreciate that people are still interested, and I myself am regretful about the comic not concluding (we had a lot more planned) but in the end, it might be better for us to not force ourselves to work on something that we originally started to work on for fun. If that ever changes though, we will absolutely continue. No promises though.

As for simply drawing Error and Ink, I will draw them whenever I feel like it. They will always hold a very special place in my heart ♥

Joltik! Fingers crossed that it turns out somewhat decent in the end!

Guess it wasn’t what they expected?

This happened to me out of nowhere in the wild? I didn’t know Alphas can drop from trees. No musical cue that one was nearby, just hit a tree and hope for the best? What’s next - can a giant Alpha also hide inside a tiny shaking rock? Is any place safe?
