Welllll... My avatar was updated to a newer version in Dale's new style - and I love it even more! 💙
So I decided to start from scratch again - and finished the first sewing pattern today! :3
Need to transfer it to paper now... 🤞

3d-printed the inner structure out of TPU and it turned out quite well! Could be a bit softer - I'll try a different filament on the next prototype.
I also need to solve the problem on how to (invisibly) attach the inner lining of the ear to the new structure, so it's not all that wavy... ^^;

Well, I found one way on how not to build a Kryphus ear! 😅
Turned out way too flat and therefore looks chonky.
Used EVA-foam to keep it in shape, but this foam stretches the ear out way too flat.
Going to try printing a TPU base now, that already has the shape I want.
Fingies crossed!

A lot of struggles and 28 points I don't like later I actually finished everything except the head. :D
All in all I like how it turned out, especially the hands!
(Those are always a nightmare...)
After the head I need to create a second prototype with all the changes - looking forward to!

After a lot of abandoned plush projects, I decided that "running away when problems occur" might not be the best strategy to get things done or improve myself.
So here, have some prototype feetsies of my newest project! Turned out decent for the first try, but I need to improve on a few aspects.

And my second project: Drogoz!
From another favorite game of mine - Paladins.
Guess which one is my favorite character there... 😜

The first project that ever came to life - a Sorg! The species Sorlag belongs to in Quake 3 / Quake Champions!
Dang I managed to get more than 2,5k hours in that game... xD
Guess who was my favorite character... :P

Since I'm migrating from "the other platform" due to "reasons", I thought it might be nice to introduce myself here by posting my past two projects! (Which are very well hidden beneath all the procrastination during those years)
