Archive Post - Plush of 2008

2008 was a busy year in terms of cosplay, but...not plushies. I only made three plush over the course of the year: 

    

Two versions of Boota, the pigmole from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and one plush that I still consider to be one of my true masterpieces:

 Carbunkle from Final Fantasy 8. I made this with something called "fun fur", which is the crappiest material ever, but very soft and it really took marker well. The entire plush was made with the same fabric, I just sharpied the darker green and aqua blue parts to the correct color. The eyes and jewel on the forehead are felt. The thing is huge, a good 15 inches tall, and was entirely handsewn.
