Here we go again.

As some of you know, I'm no stranger to the occasional overpowering urge to make stuff. It goes from having the design in my head to putting it on graph paper to buying the supplies to constructing the finished product.

Also as some of you know, the other day, I casually mentioned I wouldn't mind having a real-life Aereon Xaq plushie on my desk. ...I think you can see where this is going.

I kinda jumbled the order around a bit, buying the buttons to use as eyes first, but I kinda had to do that. I needed them for a sense of scale so that I know roughly how big I want the rest of it to be...it wouldn't do any good to draw out the design and the dimensions only to find out the only size button-eyes I could get for it were a fraction of the size I wanted or 10x as big as its head.

In any case...yeah, I've decided I want to make a stuffed animal.

Would've helped if I'd bought some graph paper while I was at it...oh well, put that on tomorrow's to-do list, since I've got squat else to do. Oh, right, note to self: Upload pics of between-class doodles tomorrow as well.

While in class earlier this week, to help me focus on finals studies, I slipped into my usual habit of sketching…and, unsurprisingly, the subject of the day was Aereon Xaq. The top sketch shows a decidedly not-Pokemon Koopa Troopa zooming by, enjoying being plumber-punted across the landscape while Xaq tries to figure out where it came from.

The second one was an attempt to show him in a run, while also showing a few things I tweaked in his look. I tweaked the back legs a bit to be more like a canine’s, plus I gave him a little orange scarf…for no other reason than I wanted to give him a scarf. :D

The last pic is how far I’ve gotten on the design of the plush…which is to say I’ve decided on the scale of the image. Working out exactly how to do this is proving a little more difficult that I thought. Apparently constructing a stuffed animal is more difficult than constructing a table.
