He looks really silly, but I've never embroidery before, so..🤓

And yet I love him, because there is almost no merch with afo unfortunately

[Disclaimer: Typos might be lurking! English ain't my first language😓]

So, I recently hit a bit of a burnout. Art block was REAL, and my mental health was... uh... questionable at best. All my free time was just vanishing into the doomscroll void. Then, on TikTok, I stumbled across a Captain Laserhawk edit, and I remembered I'd been putting off watching it forever. I was like, "Okay, it's time." I binged it hard, recommended it to all my friends, and went on a hunt for content. That's when the disappointment hit. I was completely obsessed with this franchise and Dolph himself, but the fandom is basically dead, and there's no real news about a Season 2.

Also, I'm a total merch fiend, especially for artist-made stuff, and I was super bummed to find out there's basically none. So, guess I gotta take matters into my own hands!

So, I've got, like, zero experience sewing plushies, even less with omodokitype. No access to a sewing machine either. BUT, what I do have is the power of hyperfixation hahah.

Anyway, here are some WIP pics, and sorry about the mess in my workspace🤧

I spent, like, a WEEK choosing fabrics because, turns out, finding the right skin tone is WAY harder than it should be. 😭 And the material is still a different color than what was advertised. And he's got a wire armature skeleton inside, so I can pose him however I want!

Soooooo, did I mention hyperfixation?

I whipped this guy up in THREE DAYS, and I only spent around 1000 rubles (≈ $12) on materials👀💧

I still haven't made him any clothes yet, but I'm legit obsessed. He's my emotional support plushie now, i think??? I bring him on walks, he even celebrated my birthday with me, and I fall asleep hugging him. I've become so attached to this character; he feels so familiar and important to me that having him around is actually super comforting.

HE IS MY LITTLE SON. 🩷🩷😣

yes he has a butt.....luv my baby sm 🌺
