Some small sketches of Bombshell as a plushie because these bugs have been living rent-free in my brain :]

(Don't worry, I'll share the proper plans/designs for the Insecticon plushies soon!! They'll see the light of day eventually I swear)

Got back my mojo for working on the Shockwave plush, so I bring thee another collection of progress photos! Stay tuned for the final product :)

Behold, Shockwave in plush form!!

Glad to have finally finished this guy! I will admit I procrastinated on him a decent amount, but I'm still quite happy with the final product ^v^

Now in terms of features, we have: - Plastic pellets in the hands and feet, pretty standard at this point - A funky rattle in his left arm - A solid faceplate to keep the head from deforming too much - Crinkly plastic lining in the fins on his head

[Also, a few bonus pics under the cut for anyone interested]

Couldn't help but snap a few photos of my soft guy and my small guy interacting :]

Shockwave on the bus :]

I decided to accessorise my guys today! An impulse probably influenced by the fact that I'm going to see the Barbie movie later on

Bonus close up of the bracelets with text:

Currently working on a Bombshell plush! And if everything goes according to plan, the rest of the Insecticons should follow suit ^v^

[Bonus progress photo:]

This progress pic was a bit messily laid out lol I've just about got all the pieces traced, in the next update I'll probably be in the assembly stage

Lately my creative motivation has been somewhat lacking, so today I give you Starscream adorned with a lovely yellow ribbon ^v^

Update on the Bombshell plush: Aside from a few modifications I need to make to the shoulders, I've basically finished sewing the body! I'll probably update again once I start getting the head sorted out

Thought I might as well share these draft sketches of my TFP Breakdown plush design! I'm planning on making a Knockout plush eventually, and Breakdown will ideally be made right after ^v^

(Side tangent: I initially really wanted to put a heart on his eyepatch!! But no matter what I did, it just never looked right. So I opted to put the heart on his hips since his hip plating is already vaguely heart-shaped)

Last progress update for the Bombshell plush, my boy's almost done!! All I've gotta do now is finish assembling his little head horn and attach it ^v^

[Sidenote: His eyes will look a bit different in the completion photos, I realised they were too small so I ended up redoing them]

Bombshell's done!! There was a bit of procrastinating, but I've finished the first of three lovely little bugs! Very happy with how he turned out ^v^

In terms of features, he's really only got a squeaker in his right arm (Only other notable things are the wire structure in his horn/cannon and the foam sheet giving his head guard shape. And then of course we have the standard plastic pellets in his hands/feet)

Bombshell joined me at a fancy restaurant tonight ^v^

I now present my latest plush, the king of the road himself: Motormaster!!

This is a plush of Motormaster's G1 design mixed with his G2 colour palette. In terms of features, we've really got nothing out of the ordinary: Plastic pellets in the hands and feet, plus some foam sheets to give the box around his head a bit more structure. I also decided that the wheels would be portrayed better as buttons :]

This guy was made as a gift for my partner, @motormusker! So I deliberately avoided posting progress pictures. I wanted him to be a surprise ^v^ (Speaking of my partner, he's currently writing a Stunticon-centric Transformers fanfic titled "King Of The Road". I'd highly recommend checking it out!)

[Small bonus under cut--]

Thought I'd share a pic of the planning sheet as well, this plush was redesigned a couple times and I'm very happy with how the final design turned out ^v^

New plush in progress!

I wasn't planning on making any Constructicons anytime soon, but this is the only guy I could seem to pull myself out of the ol' motivational rut for

Small update on the Scavenger plush: I've finished all the machine sewing now, and I've started on the hand sewing. He's looking pretty good so far!

The next (and most likely last) update will be the assembly stage

Behold everyone, the Scavenger plush is now complete!! :D

I don't know if/when I'll make any other Constructicons, but I'm glad I made this guy! Now to disappear again for an untold amount of time until I re-emerge with another piece of artwork to share

Scavenger took a little venture with me in the city today :]

The city was rather cold and windy near the end of our little adventure so we took shelter for a moment in the train station. The tunnels branching off from the main part of the station have a lovely liminal energy to them, perfect for a quick photoshoot!

New guy alert!! Got this fella the other day while I was out and about in the city with Scavenger :]

Speaking of which, I've got some photos of him too

Scavenger seems to like being out in the city ^v^ Bonus photo:

Yea, they gay now B)

I know I've shared a small batch of my workplace doodles recently, and I figured I'd share the rest now ^v^

Out of all the transformers plushies you've made, which is your favourite? Mine is your shockwave or scrapper

Hmmm, that's a good question... and one that I don't think I can give you a defined answer to

I could just be cheesy and say that I like all my guys for different reasons and I can't possibly choose a favourite, but I think you're looking for a bit more of a specific answer than that `'^-^

So I've narrowed it down to three guys:

I'd say Scavenger is the best emotional support buddy, Soundwave gets "First Guy" privileges, and Starscream gets a mention for being Starscream :]
