Arthropleura - a genus of millipedes from the Carboniferous. These guys are some of the largest land invertebrates to have ever existed, and likely had no predators. Despite their size, Arthropleura were lovely herbivores.

The Giants - Part 5/11

I am recycling an old post again because Arthropleura is arguably the coolest of the Carboniferous invertebrates, and because I have been thinking about myriapods ever since this morning when I was asked to do myriapod evolution next and I am now really excited for that!

I’ve felt an absence in my Wardrobe of Nerdery, so I bought a grey sweater and remedied that! Now I have a Cardassian-Armor sweater, and it’s really comfy!

So of course I had to go and have a whole dang photoshoot because space-lizards are extremely overdramatic!

Okay, I am gonna reblog this till I die.

Can I ask how you did this? Is it embroidered yarn?

[theladygruoch]

@tinsnip Yep! It’s embroidered.

I bought a plain gray sweater online, printed out several pictures of Cardassian armor for reference, and made the lines using a chain stitch in light gray yarn I bought at a craft store. I chose chain stitch because it gives a good width to the line and pairs well with a knit. Since it’s hard to draw guiding lines on a sweater, I used a mix of trial-and-error and loose running stitches with plain cotton thread so I had something to follow with the yarn.

The back of the sweater actually looks slightly different from the front. To get it right I had to stare at a fan video of Gul Dukat’s back end quite a lot (fortunately that isn’t too hard to find). Here’s the back view:

I hope this has been helpful, and thanks so much to everyone for expressing interest! It was a little idea I had over a year ago (in this post actually!) that has given me immense satisfaction.
