He is a creature feature 🗿

Overall it took me about 3 months to get everything done! It was a fun experience and while I wish I did some things differently, that's just how it is when it comes to making things your first time. There were some fears I had while making this, but when it was con time the fears went away!

The last week was spent making sandals for both feet. There was not a specific pattern I followed, but just multiple videos to get ideas. Around this time is when I finally bought a sewing machine, so no more handsewing after this!! 🥲🥲

The following week after this was spent making the arm sleeves and adding the elastic band to it. I did attempt to add stripes onto them by airbrushing, but in the end result you barely see it. Next time I think I would probably buy more black fur to sew into the fur

Making the Paws and flipping them inside was... A process. I also followed the same pattern by the same creator mentioned!

Making the tail was difficult in judging how far I wanted it to be. I did end up attaching a hook at the tip to clip onto the body so it wouldn't be horrible to carry.

This week was spent braiding hair into a lock pattern and making a tail. It was difficult in finding how to go about the hair but I designed just to braid how I normally would with human hair and it turned out fine! Sewing each indivual strand took a long time, but overall I love the look!

Making the feet took awhile. I followed the pattern made by splitgrapesoda (highly reccomend for feet paws that use more stuffing than foam!). A bunch of trial and error and cutting and re-attaching!

I ended up redesinging the nose later, wanting something more hard and plastic.

After getting the general shape, I went straight into making the eyes, adding in the plastic covering over the eyes, making the mouth and starting to pattern where the fur will go!

After that, I went straight into making the head base. I landed on designing a kemono style suit, with finding a head base off Amazon to save on time and help out! I did a lot of research on techniques, type of material, and how much foam to use.

At the beginning if was difficult in finding the style I wanted. I knew I wanted the general vibe of my person/vtuber, but the tiger variant of her. For two weeks I spent sketching out ideas, trying out different designs, and what felt cute.
