A small fellow I made with a hole for a face.

A little bat guy made from sculpy hand painted and wings made from veg tan leather

I’ve got to have cheaper stuff in my shop so I’ve come up with something like this, which is supposed to be kind of a dragon? A ferret? A mouse? Unknown. I’m calling it a dragonrat?? Or a Dracoskrit? Idk, open to suggestions! Lore is they’re fond of shiny things - smart enough to be a familiar, but too smart to do it without compensation.

It’s sculpted in nomad on my iPad and printed with my resin printer, and the body is pre-made fur covered wire I found locally. I’d like to give them glass eyes but I think they might be too heavy, the whole baby weighs less than a pack of skittles. Probably less than half, like a snack skittles. He’s pretty well balanced so the tail acts as a counter weight, so he can do lots of adorable poses.

I’d love ideas on how to attach them to like, a shoulder? I was thinking a magnet, because I’d like it to be invisible in that sense, but the wire frame doesn’t leave much room to hide magnets.

Paint job pending.

Anyway, I’m really happy with it so far, I hope you like him!

That was more work than expected. 😅

Painted the guy I burned earlier this week and made him a brother. The trout is name Fimshley and the catfish is named Glub.

Hello! I'm very new to plush making and I was wondering if I could get some tips for certain material to use for this guy! (My Own Character) He's mostly fur and I'm familiar with that, but what I'm unsure about is his more solid features and how I would recreate them.

The features I'm specifically curious about are:

•Spikes

•Claws

•Teeth

•Horns

•Nose

Is there a specific kind of reliable material that I could use to mold them and color them? The spikes/claws/horns (and maybe the teeth) would all be the same material. But I'm looking for something similar but more soft/fuzzy for the nose! (Kind of like those vintage tiny decorative bears that are plastic but have a layer of fuzz on them 🤔)

Not sure if this matters but- rather than sewing a pattern together and stuffing it with cotton like a typical plush, I'm creating more of a foam base and covering it with fur! He's going to be rather big (hopefully) and he'll be more decorative than huggable to avoid damaging him. This isn't an exactmodel of what he'll look like, I'll be creating a more plush-like sitting version.

I feel like I made his arms a little too long(or his legs a little too short).

Thought I’d do a combined post because I made three dolls in the past couple of weeks.

I was going for the 2000s Texas style look.

His name is Tomato Rat!

He brings this tomato as a gesture of love and hopes the gift of this seasons freshest harvest will help cover up his many, many, many red flags.
