Massive update

Massive

I like that word.

makes you feel important and fancy lol.

Anyways, business time!

Banjo and Kazooie:

they were done monday night
But I didn't have the motivation to post them on my blog till now
No progress pictures of Kazooie, because I was really tired by the time I got to working on her and forgot.

Anyways, here they are!

Since I finished these 2 and I haven't head back from any of my commissioners next in line yet, I'm taking advantage of this unexpected downtime to get a head start on my personal projects.

one of them is my own original plushy line, created mostly to sell at Animinitime this summer http://animinitime.org/ . I'm aiming to make fifty 7 inch plushies of different adorable animals. They will have embroided features and they will also have actual plastic eyes and noses that I just ordered yesterday from here http://glasseyesonline.com/ . They also have plastic pellets in their butts that will hopefully allow them to stand and not faceplant because of the weight of their huge heads. So last night to celebrate ordering the eyes I started working on making the plushie's bodies since I can't make the heads until the eyes come in. This is what I have so far:

Since those turned out absolutely awesome in my opinion, I decided to take a chance today and start the one plushy project I've been wanting to start since forever.....Toothless from How to Train your Dragon! Well, I probably shouldn't say Toothless, since mine is going to be more of a generic Night Fury. Anyways, He's going to be huge. like, 50 inch long, over 60 inch wide, and 15 inch standing huge. And if he does turn out good like I hope it does, I will be selling him. But I can already tell that he's gonna be going for over 100$, so interested people, be warned!

Here are pictures of what I have so far, I only have the pieces cut but I do plan on working on him all day tomorrow. He took an entire 3 meters of fabric, and I really had to squeeze the pieces together to make it.

So that's it for this heavy update! I can't wait to work on the Night Fury again tomorrow, and I'm really exited about the eyes that are coming in for my merchandise plushies. Now if my commissioners would reply to me and I could get started on their commissions everything would be just perfect.

I finished school last Friday, could anyone tell? lol

Banjo and Kazooie

here's another update on these two. I had pictures of Banjo's progress, but he just gave me such a hard time that I don't really feel like posting the progress. I had to remake his muzzle 5 time. 5!! D:

Anyways, here's what he looks like now:








And here's some pictures of Kazooie's progress.
Right now I'm slaving away at the wings.




I was hoping to have Kazooie done by this weekend but that's not going to happen at this rate. The wings are very time consuming. and once I make the wings I have to figure out how to make her legs. fun times!

Pokota done and Banjo fixed

Alright, so tonight like I promised to myself I finished the Pokota and I fixed Banjo! I'm hoping I'll be able to keep working this fast, but I already know that tomorrow I'll probably make little to no progress on Banjo because I have an animation assignment to finish after classes ):

Anyways, the pictures!

The completed Pokota. His 'ears' are wired down to every finger to make them as posable as they can be!

And here's poor Banjo's surgery. I did decide to go with chopping off his head and I'm not regretting doing so.

Head all sewn on, now all that's missing is the stuffing.

Tada! All stuffed and looking much better in my opinion. No crushed skull anymore. Still missing his nose (and ears) of course, but at least now I have room to sew it on!

Also since I fixed him, he gained 5 inches making him 25 inches. Which I think is pretty awesome lol.

So that's it for tonight. Hopefully I won't be animating until too late tomorrow and I'll be able to at least start Banjo's nose :)

New blog name and a little bit of updates

So, after thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to tentatively change my blog's name to Plushy Luv. Not sure if it's going to stay yet, but I'll at least give it a chance. I liked My Little Creations, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one using that title so I decided to switch to a new one. Also now the url for this blog is shorter and so much easier to type out o_o

Progress time!

I'm really going to force myself to take more progress shots and post them more often. After all, that's mostly why I have this blog right?

So this weekend I wasn't just working on Banjo. on Friday I worked on this little guy, Pokota from Slayers, most of the day. Some of you might remember him. I made one in September for another commissioner. He's almost done, but right now I have to wait for the fake fur I painted purple to dry. He's only missing his cape and I have to glue on the zipper and then he'll be done.

PS; the paint on the surface he is on is dry. no stain risks at all.

Oh, and I also finished another small commission of a anthro cat. I actually really enjoyed working on it. She's made of some sort of soft chenille and is very huggable because of that ;)

And that's it for today! Hopefully tomorrow I'll have time to finish Pokota and to at least start fixing Banjo's head. I'm still leaning toward the decapitation option xD

She plans, she thinks hard about it, she takes a chance...and she fails.

So today I finally sat down and worked on the Banjo and Kazooie commission. I started with Banjo , even though he was the one I wasn't sure how I was going to make, to make sure that Kazooie would be in scale to him.

I had great doubts about how it was going to turn out straight from the beginning

All's good so far. everything fits together, nothing is giving me a hard time. I started to have hope for this plushy.

All flipped right side out and still looking okay. Maybe this is going to turn out good after all!

Legs and feet= Success!

Arms and hands= still all good!

limbs= awesome. Could it be this pattern worked out exactly like I wanted it to?!

LOL no. unless Banjo hit his head against a tree trunk way too hard and squished his skull. A lot.

So obviously it's going to need some head fixing. The only problem is, the head isn't an individual piece. It's part of the body. So to fix the head I have 2 options; A- to just decapitate him and make a new head. Disadvantage; I was pretty proud that the head and the body were one piece, less seams. B- redo the body. Aka redo basically most of him. Disadvantage; redoing most of him D: I'm leaving him alone until tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to decide what would look/be the best. Right now I'm leaning towards decapitation lol

But hey, if I ever want to make a Starman plushy, I'm all set xD

another spam

I seriously need to remember to maintain this blog. Been too busy with college and other stuff to even think about blogs!

Anyways, here are all the plushies that I made last month! No progress shots sadly, I didn't have much time to take any.

more stuff!

Yup, I live. I just have an incredibly hard time maintaining my blogs xP

So what have I been up to lately? Working on a huge Metabee commission! I started him over x-mas break, and I'm only going to finish him tomorrow at the earliest and if I'm, lucky. So far he stands at 23 inches tall, minus his head cannon since it's not done yet.

And I also made a salamon commission. No in-progress pictures of her since she was one of those I-made-it-in-a-day plush. Didn't think about taking progress pics. She's HUGE. she stands at 15 inches tall, but her head is enormous, which makes her a lot bigger than my regular 15 inches plushies like terriermon/lopmon.

Me holding salamon for size comparison. I told you guys it was big! xD
