Amigurumi Pic Dump

soc_puppetJust a few this time; most of my recent work has been to re-stock merchandise at either my Etsy store or White Rabbit.
Felix the Cat
Commissioned by a member of the Quire as a present for a baby relative of hers named Feelix, so he's 100% yarn and polyfil, no wire or hard plastic anywhere. His face is also entirely crochet and embroidery, which means I'm probably not ever going to post his pattern because I'd have to explain it and I don't think I can do that. "Just sew yarn on so it looks like his face!" isn't very helpful as far as instructions go.
I've also got pictures of Link of Zelda fame, but they're stuck on my phone and so likely won't be getting up here any time soon.
Winter Storm Dragon
Y'all might remember me mentioning this fella before :3 It took me a bit longer to get these pics up than I'd planned, but wev. I could still stand to tweak the color in three of 'em, but also wev. I'll get to that later.
Since finishing this dragon, we've gotten a nasty snow storm that got school canceled on Wednesday, and then a nice powdering this evening which made for some more inconvenient driving. I have half a notion to crochet some sort of virgin sacrifice to it (I hear dragons think virgins taste better?) but have no idea how to depict the concept of a virgin through the medium of yarn. That actually stops me from doing more Western zodiac related stuff, too.
I also got the Etsy listing up, yay! Oh great deity of internet purchases, smile upon me and grant me customers!
Canines:
The wolf/husky I made as a base for my Sterek Campaign Wolf Pack Charity Project offer and a yellow lab I made as a commission for a friend's girlfriend. The cuteness! It cannot be contained!
The wolves I made for my winning bidder, based roughly on three of the characters from Teen Wolf. From left to right: Scott, Isaac, Derek. I asked my recip beforehand whether they wanted Derek!wolf to be scowly, but Isaac's bangs were totally a spur-of-the-moment thing /)_(\ I really should ask before I go ahead and do things like that, but they turned out super well (and adorable!) and they liked the bangs anyway, so I'm safe this time. I was prepared to take them out if they hadn't gone over well, but I'm glad I didn't have to. Anyway, it's basically just loops of yarn anchored down in a way that I forgot the mechanics of; last pic is an attempt at a closeup to show that they really are loops and not something that'll fray.
Anyhow, my recip said they'd be posting pics on their Tumblr and linking to my Etsy account/gallery (♥, seriously), but I can't tell if they've done it yet because they reblog a shitload of gifs and it takes my internet connection for frikkin ever to load it :( One giant reason for me never to get sucked into Tumblr right there: too much stuff that takes too long to load for too little payoff.
And that brings this picdump to a close. Tune in next time, when I'll post pics of - I'm not entirely sure just now. Well, tune in next time to find out what I'll post pics of, then.
