Hey there Cthulhu.

A gift for Joe, who asked me to create this for him. I had a hard time creating this guy, as I haven’t really made many plush toys, so most of the time I just have to experiment as I go along.  Time was running short and a friend suggested I look and see if others had created 3d models to see if I could reverse engineer them, and in the process I found a paper-craft Cthulhu that I could adapt to fit my needs.

Early prototyping with the mountain of scrap fabric lying around.

Some instagram progress shots.

Lording it up.

Devious fellows.

 When I finally got going, it only took a couple of days to get him all constructed and sewn up. I do hope he enjoys wreaking terror in his new home in California.

Also a preview of what I’m working on, it’s a bit crazy…

Pages from the red Moleskine.

I’ve been working in colour pencil in my ‘new’ sketchbook which was a birthday present from last April. It does mean I finished a sketchbook to get to this point, so that’s something.

I like the red ribbon hanging off durring scanning, and its hip to be square.

A couple finished pieces

A couple of pieces I finished  a few weeks ago.

I think I wanted to buy this parka, instead I painted it. Much cheaper.

A very pretty mackerel eyeing a strange lure.

Something that has been sitting on my hard drive for ages, but I knew it would be quick work and satisfying to finish.
