Help! I'm a Fish Blog

manta ray schooling

Last night, a baby fish came into this world, and i thought it's time to reveal the process

1. overall design

I've asked some private workshop but most are overpriced, others refused for that complex snout, eventually I decided to make it myself

2. plaster model & paper templates

his size been controlled as ~20cm since Chuck said "we're 8 inches long"

the sewing patterns have little reference value as it's been changed for countlesstime through the entire process

3. Fly's cap

can prove that hat is the soly 100% accurate template

4. sewing

It was my first attempt to sewing a plush and the process is physically exhausting _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_ I won't make it halfway if it wasn't Fly

5. done!

made his gill pokable so fingers can reached in xD

Fly roll

and so I did

orange

and chocolate flavoured butter cookies

I ended up chose the most conservative plan (bottom left one) as the first trail project

I might try more complex patterns on next years valentine's day if I don't curb my emotions again

Here's our little marine-biologist-to-be professor in all of his blissful childhood splendor, with his old friend goldfish. Wasn't he such a precious goober?

I say that he definitely still is to this day, if you look past all the wrinkles.

That moment where Joe says “Or you could die!”

It’s a shame there’s not a single GIF of that scene.

O WAIT THERE’S ONE!

Ah yes. Another "Seeking aid, for I belong to Osteichthyes superclass since an undefined timeframe" fanart, this time with a deeper meaning to spice things up.
