Plush version of my boy Benji:

So after months of not touching my sewing machine after the disaster that was working on the Nikdo Plush, I finally forced myself to try and make another plushie. I have to thank demiveemon for the tips she gave me in a comment on the Nikdo plush. That really helped a lot! c:
I used clips instead of pins, different coloured thread and chose a lighter coloured character to make my life a little easier I'm still not a fan of working with faux fur, but this definitely wasn't the same level of frustration I had while working on Nikdo. So that's a plus!
I'm kind of on the fence on the outcome here. I think I like Benji better than Nikdo but I'm still not satisfied with the pattern. Also I'm not super happy with the eyes, the placement of them and the brown coloured one. But overall I do think he turned out pretty allright and definitely looks like Benji
There was a lot of hand sewing all his stripes and spots on which I'm having mixed feelings about. I also tried to paint a few of the spots on but that didn't really turn out good. I died the faux fur for the muzzle and the patches around his eyes, pretty happy with how that turned out.
I also forgot to make him smaller since I want to make Nathan as his companion plush, so now I have to make Nathan even bigger xD
I'm going to try and figure out a way to make my pattern digital because having to trace it every time is very unpractical. If anyone has tips for making a paper pattern digital, I'd love to hear it!

I hope you'll like seeing a plush version of my happy boy

Information:
Lenght: 36cm from the front hooves to the back hooves.
Material: Faux fur & safety eyes.
