Description Who can tell I watched David Tennant's Hamlet again last night?

OK. Time for me to blather on a bit:

Still working on figuring out the whole plushie thing and getting things juuust right, so the {...} one's still in development. You can tell this model's been in development for a LONG time because I was still in the "Well...his shirt could be considered yellow-orange" phase. Still basically the same method as the first, just tweaking here and there, finding a different way to construct the shirt and pants (which are ill-fitting at the moment). And learning. Lots of learning. Learning is good!

This one's going to a friend of mine as a half birthday present, half PAY ME. I'm so kind. He doesn't get to keep it until the 3rd test is finished. And depending on how the 3rd version works out depends on when I'll start thinking about selling them. So fear not! You may yet be able to possess one of your own.

Coolest thing about 2.0: his eyes glow in the dark. Yeah. This time I just mixed some glow paint in with the acrylics I've been using, so there's no orange glow, but I'm planning on getting some glowing orange paint. I am excited.

His body's suedecloth, shirt is broadcloth, pants are some random cloth I found at JoAnn, belt is pleather with a metal buckle, tie is black ribbon, aaaand hair and shoes are felt. Bleh.

Someday, maybe? I seriously wish I could quit school and sit around and SEW all day, but I'm too close to finishing to even consider that. Once I'm prepared to sell them, I'll be letting everyone know. It just might be a really long time. :< Sorry.

I'm working on another prototype now, and I realized today that I forgot to include his ears when I sewed up his head yesterday, so I've got to redo it. The day I can put him together without doing something stupid like that will be a happy day for me. lol If I was smart, I'd make a checklist.

Start making a check list nooow so you wont forget! I haz money to get me a Nameless!!
Well its always good to see what you messed up on and not get so mad at it, it just shows that you want to get it done a little faster. Like I dont think peole would notice if he was missing ears hah

But I would notice. I'm such a perfectionist about things, it'd be torture.

Unfortunately, that's a week too far away from my b-day to get you anything free. Not to mention I'm stuck with summer courses so who knows if I'll even get to make another one. *sighs*

I haven't decided on a price quite yet, but if you want a rough estimate...likely more than $20 but definitely less than $100. I am so helpful, I know.

It is! Fortunately, the Staedtler pigment liner pens I picked up worked FABULOUSLY for the shading on his face. I've got an idea about how to shape his actual face that I'm going to test next time. I'm seriously hoping it works.

There are not enough words in the universe to describe how adorable this is, so I will settle for squealing quietly.
