#Fan Plush

[mudzdale]

finally, my magnus opus, complete... this was an impulse, do-it-stupid project for me to tackle. i suppose it doesn't count as a ragdoll if it's made out of specifically-purchased new fabric rather than rags, though...

some process photos under the cut

feeling out the design goals + patterning. this initial pass was very inspired by @bittertoxicity 's plush designs of the cast! i wound up moving away from that as i worked, but honestly, his work is so much cuter still, and i really admire it 😄

after 3 or so failed attempts at getting well-proportioned patterning stitched & stuffed, i lopped off one piece's head and then grafted it back on to create a longer neck. unfortunately, this successfully acheived the desired effect. the epitome of my do-it-stupid technique.

the face pieces were stitched on. he is constructed entirely out of no-pill fleece (the closest accessible kind next to the puppet variety), and honesly i don't know how those raw edges are going to hold up over time. if he ever gets a second pass, this would be wiser to just do with felt.

i had wanted to simply embroider his eyebrow, but after multiple failed attempts at getting the shape right, it started to damage the fabric ): i gave up and cut an eyebrow out of fabric, and stitched it on like his other face pieces.

his clothes are removable! i fit and stitched these prior to adding his hair, correctly guessing that the hair would make it very hard to work with his developing outfit. someday, i may be inclined to make different little outfits for him, however...

the hair itself was another huge challenge (the clothes alone took weeks, fwiw). if there are patterns out there for long, non-yarn hair, i sure couldnt find them. i wound up freestyling each piece by draping them over his head like a ridiculous veil, and stitching down my "darts" from there (in quotes bc i didnt even bother to cut them away like real darts should be cut...)

overall, my vision for the hair turned out to be verrrry different than the final product, but it's probably for the best. maybe i'll experiment more if he's ever to be remade

oh, and, he is hatless because, like, i dont like the hat anyways, but in the interest of making his outfits changeable, a hat would be a lot of hassle. that's either something that has to be stitched on and cut off for outfit changes (wtf), velcro'd on (um, no way), or magnetized on (what a pain...). so i guess maybe someday, but definitely not today...

AAA PLUSHYBONES IS REAL!! I’ve been spending like a week making this guy’s little clothes. I found a doll at work, and thought hey… this could be an aquabat. So I set to work and he’s finally done! All his clothes are fleece, and his mask is felt and I am so proud of how he came out after the trials and tribulations…

After many hours, Murderbot is done! There was so much freestyling with this I thought I’d cramp my hand 😭 but the end result is so cute! It’s so cuddly and soft!!

I got a plushie based on your Leon Lopunny from a friend in Ukraine (I paid her despite her insistence on it being ok for me not to pay her.)

AHHH INCREDIBLE! (*´∀`*) I looks so soft and it's really well made!! Please tell your friend she did an amazing job, I LOVE IT! (and bless you for paying her! (°◡°♡) )

SIREN DIB?? IN REAL LIFE??? :0

YES!

Wots ZaDr in real life!!

And Tak and Mimi!!!

I’ll be sure to make the Gaz-siren soon. Don’t worry :)

[greentrickster]

Hesperia/Betterfly: No, Supreme, please don't turn me into a marketable plushie!

(Also, here's the pattern I used!)

[i-am-vero-draw]

My lil sis wanted to buy the plushies of Catnap and Dogday, and I told her that they are too expensive (and we don't know if Mob Games do shipments to other countries)

And I remembered that I use to do my own plushies some years ago, so, I told her if she would like to let me do plushies for her, on the condition that she leave Catnap's to me and she agreed

Here are the bases I have for Catnap and Dogday, I plan to maneuver to make their heads

It's been several years since I did this, I feel happy xd

While I'm waiting for my brushes to finish drying, I decided to finally get up the Blueberry Goober with his Heart of Punness finally sewn on :'D Also you can finally see Barnaby's name embroidered on the back of his tie, something I didn't do last time which I've regretted.

You can see more views of Barnaby right over here: https://makeshiftstory.tumblr.com/post/734897084204007424/now-barnaby-is-fully-finished-with-his-signature

Over here is the entire progress journal of making Barnaby: https://makeshiftstory.tumblr.com/post/734635921218125824/this-is-the-last-entry-for-this-progress-diary-on

New Pinkie Potato Plush

I made this plushie a while ago, I updated her mane pattern and I'm quite happy with how it turned out! I made her before Galacon and she found her forever home there ^^

[madhatterplushies]

I've been heavily considering making Vodka Mutini plushies and debating if I have the time and then I guess homestuck^2 just updated lol

I have a good cat body but she'd need an entirely new head but 🤔🤔, same beanie style as Jiji and the Sailor Moon cats??

Also if you're sitting here squinting and wondering where's my homestuck cred, my non art blog is @aliceundrground and I've been here since the beginning of the Cascade gigapause, no fake fans here ✌️ (though will admit I haven't jumped into homestuck^2 yet despite supporting its patreon for a while lol)

And if you hadn't heard, Hussie did update the fan sales policies ~2022(?) such that smaller artists can sell stuff now if its small batch or handmade.

the holy grail

[the-clone-father]

Guys I’ve broken down. I can’t do it anymore. I need my own crosshair to comfort and protect.

This is him so far after about 14 hours of work, I still have a ways to go but I’m pretty happy so far. Expect updates to follow!

Also the clothes are because he’s very naked other than his helmet so I thought he might appreciate it

[opachalphystyle]

I made a Dima today to go with my best boys collection.

Trying to decide if I wanna tackle one more today. Torn between Yuri, Eldigan or Lukas.

[ashleypureheart22]

What if I did a Kickstarter for a fan plush of Sherlock Gnomes’ Moriarty?

For those who have done fan plushies, how much is reasonable per plush? $40? $45? $50?
