I've Started Making A Plush Of A Certain Splendid Red Engine ^v^

I've started making a plush of a certain splendid red engine ^v^

My brother's birthday is right around the corner! And after a considerable amount of deliberation, I've settled on making him a James plush (an especially difficult decision since he said he'd be happy with any of the engines)

[Also a small sidenote, the plush's face is going to look different from the coloured plans. I drew those sketches not really thinking they'd be the final product, then I just didn't feel like fussing around with trying to change the face]

Bonus chaos:

This is generally what the kitchen table looks like when I'm making the patterns (or templates, as I've grown used to calling them)

Final James plush update:

He's currently a log

(And now it's officially assembly time!)

I saw Matt Rose's new video about Google's AI feature, and apparently it thinks that Cement trucks hatch from eggs

So of course I felt inspired to draw some cement trucks from my two favourite shapeshifting-vehicle-robot shows as freshly hatched babies ^v^

(Additional context under cut)

This is the image I was inspired by, and it featured in this specific video

James plush update: He's starting to approach sausage territory

(actual serious update under cut)

Aside from a few more bits of hand-sewing still yet to be done, I've gotten most of the sewing sorted now!

This bottom picture is a little out of date since I procrastinated on sharing it for so long, but really the only things that've changed are that I finished the couplings and fitted the baseboard with its "skin"

Basically all I have left is the assembly, so the next James post will likely be a finished plush :]

Heyheyheyheyhey is there any way we could be blessed with Jester’s plush pattern? I too could not find anything about them online and now I need my own watermelon golbo as soon as physically possible. Even if it’s shitelly traced out on tise paper or something— I will expect anything crumb of info on how to make a him

Oh yes, why of course!

I don't have any means of making a printable pdf currently, but I was able to guesstimate a sketch of what the pieces should look like

Do take it with a grain of salt, as I haven't tested these and they could probably use a bit of tweaking

I should also add that although I drew these in an A4 sketchbook, the actual plush is around 60 centimetres long (or about 24 inches)

For anyone confused, this is the plush in question:

This is Jester! I recently shared him with the Zoolim blog because of his striking resemblance to a Golbo

I did not make him, he's a plush I've had for about 9 or 10 years now and he's been a complete enigma from the very start

[More info for those interested]

I found him secondhand at a school fair, so I don't really have any particular store I can pin his origin to

I've tried searching online with what little information is on his tag, but all my searches have yielded nothing

If anyone's as curious as I am, and you manage to somehow find anything to do with Jester's origins, please let me know! I'd like to see what anyone out there might be able to find ^v^

(One final thing, here's the original post referring to Jester)

I've never really been part of the FNF scene, but I wanted to try my hand at drawing Car :]
