Description Here is my third posable! His name is Tolo, and he's a gorgeous bird of my own design. He is a species of bird called a Toloraptor, known for their stunning plumage, quick tempers, and golden scales.

Tolo took a rediculous amount of time to make, at least 6 hours dedicated purely to arranging his feathers. He stands around 30cm high, and about 40cm long. His wingspan is about the same. His face, feet and tail bud are made from milliput painted with acrylic and gold leaf. He has two variations of faux fur on his body, and I hand dyed his stomach fur to the right colour.

His feathers are my pride and joy. He has such a beautiful plumage on his head made from stunning pheasant feathers. His wings and tails are also pheasant feathers. Photos and words cant describe how beautiful the feathers are, but Ill upload some close-ups so you get a good idea.

I really dont want to sell him, but I need money too badly, so he's now for sale on etsy! [link] Buy him, get any hat (even a commissioned one) half price! Oh, I may be a little willing to haggle on the price

I would appreciate all comments and critisism!

Enjoy!

In this image, Tolo's quick temper is showing, and he's angrily warding off some unknown foe! You can also see his head plumage well in this photo.

what do you use to hand dye without the fur becoming stiff?

i have a way, but will find a better way. buy tulip fabric spray paint. spray it on lightly, wait for it to dry, wash it with water( make sure you get waterproof paint) to make it soft, brush it with a comb to soften the fabric.. of curse its a long procedure, but im currently looking up easier ways.
