I have accepted it's going to look terrible for a long time, and that's helped me to make some progress!
I definitely need to do something different for the snout and front of the face, though

I have encountered the same problem as the last time I wanted to update my minecraft skin.... I want to make my own skin, but I can't seem to get it looking right

I have been thinking about playing minecraft again, and have been reminded of the Ears mod.... which has reminded me that I really want to update my skin.

my current one is an endeman-inspired one that I found yonks ago, and I think it's really well made but I also don't vibe with it as much anymore

I miss cuddles...

dragons on the brain...

I am a simple critter, but sometimes I worry that I am too simple and lacking in meaningful depth, like a background character in a story

my mind is empty.... except for the creechers....

where does the time go??? it just disappears so often....

fluffy creechers....

it's originally an entomology term about beetle wings.

From a linguistic perspective of course, the Correct™ pronunciation of a word is the way the majority of speakers pronounce it - and I think there are far more minecraft players saying /e.lai.trə/ or /e-lɪ-trə/ than there are entomologists saying /e-lə-trə/

...I just found out that "elytra" is pronounced e-lə-trə ("ele" as in "electric"), rather than e-lai-trə
