Yes, pictures finally. I hate taking pictures of projects that aren't yet finished, but I did. Because I've been talking about pictures of the CS Plush dog for a few weeks now :3 I haven't any close-ups of his face because he's... erm... Lacking in facial detail. Stupid eye place takes so long to ship that I've ordered eyes from another place as well, they should arrive sometime in the next week (at which time there will be even more pictures.)
The original dog that I'm working off of is this one:
Click Me
It's black with blue eyes. Soup will have green eyes simply because I don't want to waste blue eyes on him (since I'm not selling him, he shall live with me forever.) He looks brown in the picture below but he's not, he's a charcoal grey. The only pure black fun fur I could find was the type they make doll wigs out of, amazingly long, fluffy, and matted. Not the sort of stuff that you'd want to have a dog made out of. His name won't always be Soup, it's temporary.

That's Soup. Of course, he needs eyes, a nose, and only then can I sew up his back and attach his ears (which have ear-insides made out of green tye-dyed cotton) but he still looks a little like a dog, to me. You can click on the picture to see him in greater detail. His muzzle is part of the side of his face, and though it looks absolutely Huge in the picture, it's only because the camera was very, very close. It's actually quite small.
I'm by no means a whizz at taking pictures, and so the backdrop of the picture and the floor of the picture are both Ikea pillows :3 He is very sweet in real life, and is very firmly stuffed. I'll try and take a picture of the studio, there was fluff EVERYWHERE! Those fun fur fabrics really, really shed.
I'm still working on a cat pattern. What I like about fun fur is that you cannot see the seams (and so you can't see any mistakes I may or may not have made X3). Fleece is good too but it just doesn't have the same fluffy appeal.
