Description
I thought, if I can have a "moodbow" (
), I can have an emotional color wheel as well. 
Photo manipulation this time, because I took photos of them separately and arranged them in a circle like that afterwards (only because I tried and failed to arrange them in a neat circle before taking the photo
). Starring (clockwise):
and 
Full view recommended.

so happy you like them.
yeah, they were fun to arrange once I realized I had enough colors for a color wheel.

How did you do the blood on the :iconIkilledit-plz:

stitched it on with embroidery thread and a sharp needle that could go through the crochet stitches. for the bigger ones I made an outline with the thread and kind of weaved between them. the splatters are chain stitches in varying sizes.

Oh. I was thinking something along the lines of a marker.

I'm a purist when it comes to crocheting. so far I've always only used yarn and thread. sometimes it's quite the challenge, though.

I would try some of your patterns, but sadly I have no black yarn

that exact same thing was my trouble with the very first emote, too. took me ages to get my hands on black embroidery yarn...
got any shops around that sell yarn and embroidery threads?
it's really best to go for the embroidery stuff for stitching on black lines. I made the mistake once to try it with black crocheting yarn and it left black fuzz everywhere. the embroidery yarn won't do that unless it's poor quality.

Unfortunately, no.

awww, that's too bad. any chance getting somebody else buy you some? or order somewhere?

I could ask my dad, but I'm not sure if he could choose good yarn

if I knew what kinds of brands you had over there... but here, if the shop has a lot of colors of the same brand, it's usually the better kind. the thread is also always slightly shiny. it fuzzes less that way. the cheaper kind of lower quality I've mostly seen coming in packs of about 10 assorted colors. those aren't shiny, but work for any stuff you want to practice with. only the black I would always buy in high quality. that's for the embroidery stuff.
for crocheting itself I've used both cheap and more expensive yarns and have been quite happy with the quality in both cases. the more expensive ones come in more colors, though.
you could use any kind of yarn for crocheting, but I found I like the mercerized kind best. that's easiest to work with for me. no snagging if you have to stitches.

The only shiny thread I have is in neon colors, so I gave it to my little sister

Ich find du hast die Gesichter super getroffen!

danke.
diese emotes sind echt immer der renner. ich sollte mal wieder welche machen...

Ich hab mir die Anleitung schonmal heruntergeladen, und werds auch mal versuchen ^-^
Nur im Moment schreibe ich an meiner ersten Hausarbeit und will nebenbei noch meine BL Dolls häkeln, da bleibt für sowas leider keine Zeit ._.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yay!
zum glück sind die vergleichsweise einfach. so 'ne base schaff ich abends während ich fernsehe.
die gesichter und das zusammennähen dauert dann doch etwas länger. alles in allem so 3-4 stunden, vielleicht 5, wenn man nicht so konzentriert arbeitet.
studium und eigene projekte gehen natürlich vor. aber ich freu mich trotzdem schon drauf.

Genauso sieht es bei mir mit den Wasserköpfchen aus. ^-^
Oh und ich habe so viele Projekte noch vor. Ich häng wirklich an den Pairings, die ich machen möchte, da ich sie nicht so gut zeichnen kann.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
himmel, ich dürfte das mit dem zeichnen auch nicht versuchen. da bin ich immer viel zu schnell frustriert.
und mit zichnungen kann man am ende auch nicht spielen...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
GENAU! Das fand ich an Zeichnungen bei mir immer so...frsutrierend. Ewig lang gekritzelt und radiert und dann nur ein starres Bild. Bei einer Puppe brauchts nur Sekunden und sie ist in einer neuen Position, beim Zeichnen dauert das ewig.
Und ich nehm lieber eine/zwei Dolls mit auf die Couch als...ähm...ein Bild.
Bilder sind zum aufhängen, Dolls zum kuscheln

Ich hoffe das du den deviantStyle Wettkampf gewinnen. *looks at sentence* *sentence refuses to tell her whether she hasn't accidentally said something really weird to Janey*
You'd deserve to. *abstains from trying to say that in German right now*

only two things: 3rd word "dass" and a comma before that, last word "gewinnst". rest is correct. I'm very impressed.
I don't get my hopes up too much, but I'd really love to win. though I wouldn't mind winning with that comic, because it'd mean that the other girl would win, too.

Ah, die Konjugation war falsch.
Don't be impressed. Ich verwendete eine On-Line-Ubersetzer. Und eine Worterbuch. Und jetzt diese Website: [link] (learning from mistakes 1.01: getting the conjugation wrong means you should search for some place where conjugations are mentioned)
I basically went through the same steps I used to go for when writing in Japanese. It's a bit weird. I can sort of figure out German better since it's basically an European language and sufficiently like English for it to matter, but I keep wanting to arrange sentences like in Japanese, since that's my default wildcard language. ("'An online translator wo tsukatta', now how do I say this?"

Hi! did you add the eyes and mouths and such after u made their basic 'bodies'?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I did it that way. with the eyes that's okay, but with the mouths I wish there was another way, because sometimes it looks weird being sewed on. but I haven't found a good method yet...

OMG great job!!! that must've taken u forever to make!! XD im makin sumthin 2 for the project but i think mine will stink..im not even done with it yet!! i think im almost done thoo!! whew!

well, one of them usually takes me between 4 and 6 hours. if I didn't have to make up the patterns as I go, I'd probably be able to narrow that down to 3 to 4 hours. but with the breaks I take in between, it can be several days until I finish an emote. the whole project started a little over a year ago and is still going.
glad you like them and good luck with your own project.
