Description Now some of my watchers may be aware that I was working on some secret project that seems to have sucked up all my free time.... all the time from painting and drawing, which was why I had been suspiciously inactive in posting stuff to DA for the past two months.

So this was the reason.


Yep. a fully kustom-built Mienshao plush. I have no idea why I actually bothered to spend so long hand-sewing the entire plush from scratch, nor do I know why I did so but I did it.


Mostly I did it just as one of those things you can look back on and say "Been there done that". as well, building one from 100% scratch is no easy feat. Hand-sewing the entire damn thing isn't either.


but end of all you get one absol-utely adorable little plushie... and it does feel so much better when you know you spent so damn long building your own from absol-utely nothing.



Yeah I know mienshaos are purple but I couldn't find purple felt so I used light blue. I like light blue more anyway.



Ain't it cute. Total time taken including prototyping: 3 months.
Won't do anything as stoopid as this for quite some time. so for now, it's back to my usual stuff.
will be sooo amused.

On other news my mum thinks I bought the template and just went to sew it myself... hahahaha.

heh. I actually made this one after seeing yours. Figured I might as well go challenge myself in doing something dumb. Doesn't look as nice as yours though. Not sure what material to get for the skin. but well that's my first one.


Yes, hand sewing cause I have no idea how to use a sewing machine... and also don't have one in the hostel.

I guess not bad for a scratchbuild first.

thats chill, im flattered.

id say felt is fine for learning/casual hand sewing, but fleece is probably the next step for easy to work with fabric (and what I made mine of).

keep up the good work

Snowfyre In reply to LeluDallas [2012-06-25 07:57:11 +0000 UTC]

ah yes.
well, I used synthetic felt. That was sort of the only thing I had access to anyway. so I just build with what I have.

Thanks, though this is likely going to be first and last for me. too much like hard work.

Looks awesome! Are you going to make any other plushies?

Snowfyre In reply to SkylaComics [2012-02-13 00:11:07 +0000 UTC]

Probably not. this one is likely to be the first and last plush I ever make. just too much effort to prototype from scratch.

SkylaComics In reply to Snowfyre [2012-02-13 00:12:42 +0000 UTC]

True that. I made a few Pokemon plushies in Primary School, but I just don't have that kind of time anymore :/

One question what time do you usually get on?

Snowfyre In reply to kody-lawyer [2012-02-13 23:14:38 +0000 UTC]

erratic. highly random. hard to nail down due to my highly variable schedule.

Snowfyre In reply to kody-lawyer [2012-02-14 22:24:31 +0000 UTC]

Lol. As said, it varies a lot. Can't really give you a fixed time as I go on and off at random all over. Only thing to say is my timezone is Australian Melbourne/taz time. that's it.

Oh, so it is a super-rare ultra shiny Mienshao then!

Congrats on the efort, it does look great! =^^=

I can empathize on wanting a different challenge... When in my model building days, one can build so many cars, then ships, then planes. Plastic kits got mundane, so I looked into balsa and tissue. A lot more effort, but worth the challenge!

Congratulations on the completion!
