This is a fish I sold in the art auction at furry fiesta '10.
He has lots of top stitching in an iridescent thread to create the scales. his eyes are buttons, and the mouth is more top stitching. There is also airbrushing to create subtle shadows everywhere there is top stitching, or the places where the fins are flattened down.

I might.... this item brought in very little money at auction for how much work it took (honestly, about 6-8 hours). I would either have to simplify it a great deal, or charge way more than what it went for at auction.
These were meant for cats and aquatic furs, so you're right on the money there <3

Yeah... I could probably never commercialize this design because of how labor-intensive it is. If i could use a computerized system to do all the embroidery for me, that would maybe let me sell them for 25 to 30 dollars each.
The real reason i made this was to practice new techniques, like topstitching and pattern design, and also to test out airbrushing with sharpie ink, which thankfully works.
I learned new things, and that's what matters. Now i want to experiment with new plush designs. Any suggestions? ^^
