I forgot to post Astarion! This was my first time trying embroidery rather then painting on the details. I simplified the embroidery A LOT, but I'm content with how it came out. I also simplified his scars.
I put magnets in his hands so he can hold knives! Right now he only has one basic knife. I might make him a nicer one later. Like most of my plushies, his arms are fully rotatable!
Baldur's Gate 3 Astarion inspired hoodie! Unlike Astarion, I'm terrible at embroidery, so the design is VERY simplified. I might slowly add embellishment over time, but for now I'm satisfied with the outcome!
Hi hi! Asking 4 a friend , do you still have the pattern for the Captain General Kitten stuffed toy ? They really wanna make their own stuffed toy of him & were too shy 2 ask 4 themselves , so I'm volunteering in their stead ! [ I hope you have a lovely day, your stuffies look very sweet and made with lotsa love :o) ]
Sorry for the long answer, I hope it helps!!
Unfortunately, I no longer have all the pieces of Captain General Kitten's pattern. I was able to find a handful of the decorative pattern pieces and have included a photo of them. I made a quick sketch of the pattern for the body and armor base (it's not to scale with one another) to give an idea of what the pattern looked like.
Most of my humanoid plushies have the same or almost the same body base. A front chest/stomach, 2 pieces that wrap around to form the sides and back, two legs/feet that get sewn onto the bottom of the front of the body, a butt piece that the front (with the legs already attached) and side/back pieces attach to (this allows them to sit), and two arms that are attached to the sides of the body via buttons, so the arms can be rotated. The back of the head is two pieces to help give the head a round shape. Normally, I have one flat piece for the face, since you normally don't want a seam down the middle of the face. However, since Kitten has a mask and helmet covering his face, I used two pieces for the front to further round out his head. You can also add a chin piece to the bottom of the head to round the bottom and give the appearance of a neck.
I was in the middle of making my own Kitten (the one on here was a commission), and I've included some photos of what he looks like under all the armor pieces.
The part that really makes Kitten look like himself is all the details on the armor. For most of the armor pieces, I used felt as the base and either glued the gold fabric to the front or sewed the felt to two layers of the gold fabric except for one side, turned it inside out then ladder stitched up the gold fabric so that the felt was inside and no longer visible. This makes the armor pieces stiff enough to hold their shape but still be soft to the touch. It also allowed me to layer the fabric, so the armor was three-dimensional. The lion and eagle details are several layers thick to achieve the desired effect. I didn't really use a pre-sketched-out pattern for all the armor but instead made them as I went. I made the body base and stuffed it first, then I laid tracing paper over the doll to sketch out the details (rivets, eagles, etc) at the correct size for the doll. I also cut out holes for places like his eye and glued black felt on the back (I've included photos to show how the front and back of the face mask look).
I just realized I never posted my RAD uniform!! I might take better quality/staged photos of it later, but for now this is what I have.
Since most everyone has a slightly different uniform/wears it differently, I decided to make mine unique with the way the front closes and the large flowy sleeves. Also made myself a bell bow like the sheep MC is depicted wearing. I got the RAD badge from this Etsy store.
Eeyore! He was my favorite Pooh character when I was little.
Made him for a coworker's first baby. I put a rattle in him so he jingles! His tail velcros on and off, but is still attached to the body with string so it can't get lost. It's a little hard to see, but there are stars on his belly and nose.

Diavolo and his plushie Lucifer collection.
The next plush I make will most likely be a Lucifer to match Dia, but that will be a while from now! (I'm to busy playing Baldur's Gate)
My magnum opus is complete!

Life sized Magikarp plushy commission I recently finished. My kitties loved him, and miss him now that he's been shipped to his new trainer.
I'll post some in progress shots later.
Down to the wire, but I fucking did! This is the first (and probably last ) time i gotten the event UR card! Just got to unflower him now 💕

This is a lovely example of how you can cover up a hole with embroidery!
One suggestion to make this mend last longer is to fix the hole first, for example by sewing on a small patch on the back or by darning it, and then adding the embroidery on top.

au where ds9 is a struggling rollerskating rink at the edge of town that just came under new management
It’s still called Deep Space 9. It used to be owned by a Bajoran family but they were pushed out my the Cardassian mafia who used it for money laundering, illegal gambling, and shady backroom deals. Eventually it’s back in Bajoran hands, but in a horrible state of disrepair that the family doesn’t have the time or money to fix.
Enter Benjamin Sisko, a single dad looking to make a better life for his son, who buys the bussiness with the promise to do his best to make it a fun community establishment again. The Bajoran’s retain ownership of the property and leave their niece Kira to work onsite as the property manager and keep an eye on things. She resents Sisko immediately.
Odo is a security guard who used to work for the mob, but he seems like a decent dude so the Bajorans keep him around to run security in the lot (break up fights in the rink… tell teens to stop hotboxing the bathroom, etc) Dax, O'Brien, and Bashir are roller rink employees. Dax is an old friend of Sisko’s who needed a job and thought free rollerskating sessions whenever was a pretty sweet perk. O'Brien is a hardworking family man who can fix anything. Lots of things need fixing. Especially the HVAC and the sound system. Bashir is a broke med student with a lot of enthusiasm.
Quark also rents part of the property and runs the adjoining arcade. Odo is 100% convinced that it’s a front for illegal gambling or something. In an attempt to attract customers with something more enticing than popcorn and sketchy hotdogs, Sisko brings in The Klingon Chef to run a little cafe. His Raktajino is a BIG hit with employees and customers alike.
Not long after the grand reopening, the tiny thrift/antique store next door is suddenly purchased by Garak, who everyone is 100% convinced is a Cardassian plant trying to figure out how to retake the rink.
Every episode is about the DS9 staff fighting to make the rink a local hotspot again and trying to host birthday parties and throw theme nights and dances while Jake and Nog run wild in the rink and the arcade and Bashir gets flirted with my the scary antiquities dealer next door.
Best episodes include:
The one where- Dukat shows up and challenges Sisko to a Disco Roller Skate Dance battle. We all know who wins.
That time- Keiko got into an altercation with the church lady next door who insisted the music was too loud.
Adorable moment when- Molly wasn’t big enough to roller skate so Miles held her and twirled her around while Baby Shark played overhead.
The confusion of- Officer Odo hiding in a vending machine while stalking Quark. He gets stuck and the entire episode revolves around him trying to get out without letting quark know. (He’d never let him live it down.)
The wholesomeness of: Dax’s old Klingon friend renting out the entire venue to throw a party for Jadzia who’s fully transitioned.
The moment when- Ben first sees Cassidy skating to Dancing Queen and falls head over heels in love and head over heels on his skates.
“The first time”- Julian and Garak after they hold a theme night of Lazer Roller Tag. They’re the only ones who actually play and things get heated in more ways then one.
The episode in which: Kira gets Ziyal into Roller derby!
At some point Sisko gets the bright idea to bring out his old barely street legal food truck “Deliciously Defiant” as a means to drum up more business, but it just ticks off the Dominion Motorcycle gang.
O'Brian spends at least 5 hours a week just trying to keep the truck from breaking down, but Sisko insists they need it. He first got the truck as a hobby after college and has been looking for an excuse to dust off its grill.
The thing that’s really killing me abour this is that I had already mentally decided that the Dominion was a motercycle gang but didn’t include that??? How????
i have some Thoughts on this i hope you don’t mind me adding but
- ziyal sings there sometimes
- weyoun in a biker jacket hello???
- the city reveals that they’ve been building a freeway that leads to the next city over and, of course, the rink is right at the entrance. cue swarms of jem-hadar in leather jackets riding over. everyone complains about the noise.
- the Klingon Empire is still an empire, but they’re a restaurant chain empire. this doesn’t really have any purpose except martok is the grizzled owner of the branch next door and he wears a chef hat
- instead of missions in the defiant they make emergency runs to the warehouse in the other city to get more popcorn/rollerskates/etc and the crew piles into the Deliciously Defiant (sisko insists on using it. o'brien nearly has a heart attack when he sees it and starts counting the regulations it goes against)
- i’m picturing this as a really big strip mall? like one of those places that has ten or eleven shops. still an ugly-ass blacktop-parking-lot sort of thing but there’s a lot of places and it’s not one long strip of buildings yknow?
- anyways dominion motorcycles have purple LED lights on the tires and handlebars and they’re so fucking loud and weyoun likes to screech his.
- remember how the dominion got control of ds9 for like four episodes? it happens in the au and when they get it back there’s screech marks in the parking lot because the jem-hadar were doing loops
- cardassia prime, the gang’s hq, is a Costco and they blare those propaganda messages through the TVs on display
- all of them wear t-shirts with the logo on it. the logo is tacky and fucking sucks
- and they frame it the exact same way as the show and with the exact same level of dramatics. worf’ll be like “sir someone spilled a ton of food in the private party room that’s booked for an hour from now” and the music will rise and it’ll zoom in on sisko looking Pensive™
- bashir has his “frontier medicine!! :0” attitude except it’s “working in retail!! :0”
- dax is AMAZING at roller skating. miles avoids the rink. julian tries but he’s pretty awkward at it.
- OH garak comes in one day while he’s trying and like. straight-up comes up behind him and pulls him in and whispers “i’ll teach you, my dear doctor” and proceeds to fuckin waltz him around
- the baseball card episode happens pretty much word-for-word except for the setting
- sisko excels at the games that require throwing in the arcade
- data comes, once, and he wins the claw machine over and over again until quark makes up a “you can only play x times” rule and steers him out
- kira has piercings
PERFECT except I had the same thought about Bashir before remembering his tennis episode and decided that because of his short-lived figure skating career as a child (his parents forced him into it and were WAY too intense) he’s actually an amazing skater and wears insane little outfits to all of the themed events to show off and O'Brien hates it.
I hope u don't mind me adding my 2 cents.
Kira convinced Sisko to let Ziyal paint a mural on one of the walls, and he absolutely loved it! He was so impressed he now holds a local artist event every year.
A VERY belated Christmas gift for the lovely @fuukonomiko , of her traitor Space Wolf oc Hirvik! ❤
WOW!
I wanted to find the videomakers’ website, and tada! It doesn’t look open atm but they have a mailing list!
