I took a deep breath, swallowed my fears, aaand...
...Hahaha YES!!!
I'd figure finishing the lamb first would mean it gets out of the way faster, and I wouldn't have to work with that lamb-forsaken wool

The prototype is done!
Just have to organise a few of the templates and I can get started on the real thing....
... I also went ahead with the tail
Ahh, my favourite part of R&D, when everything just...
~ works ~
Also, here's wth the goat for a quick height ref <3
Took a literal age, but I finally sorted out a template for that scrunchy mf of a head
Although there is a light issue that made it too ball-like, an easy fix,
next will be the assembly of all the parts, then clothing this guy couldn't have just stopped with the lamb, couldn't resist making more could ya?
So far, so good. I made the arms a bit too long, but that can be fixed for the final design. Once I've sorted a head shape, I can get started on the shirt pattern
I finally had the time to get some more fabric, and I've started on a prototype for the body. Should help with figuring out how to tackle the shirt & head shape
Also, I'm definitely adding a tail, I think it'll look cute
Uuugh, I hate this part with a passion
Just suck between deciding whether to make his head more like his youtooz design or his promotional art & maidress photo design...
...Like both aren't inaccurate to the in-game reference, so they'd both work...
... and whilst I know I'll figure it out, it's still really chobblesome to deal with.
Didn't have the same issue with the goat. It was just making a rectangle with a face
Travelling for the week, so the plushies are definitely on a hiatus
Might posy some stuff whilst I'm away but no plushie news till the end of the week ig
:p
Made some adjustments to narinder's head. It's larger, making the ears fit better proportionally...
Look at his widdle, grumpy face...
... also, I'm not entirely sure whether I should add a tail or keep it in line with the follower form? Eh, that's what prototypes are for anyway. I'll figure something out
It's.... beautiful...
I'm literally crying! This came out so well! Absolutely chuffed to bits.
Here are s'more looks of them
So now that the goat project is coming to an end, I can either get started on the lamb or narinder since they're about even in terms of current development....
Aaand, since it totally didn't work like at all last time, why not have another poll.
Istg if it turns out a draw AGAIN, I'll make another book-themed knucklebones board just to roll the dice with (pls don't, I can't keep doing this to myself)
*insert eldritch bleat*
A cute little feature I wanted to add was a removable cape using velcro. Doing this was what had broken the machine in the first place....
....still worth it
The cape's nearly finished outside of some finishing touches, but my sewing machine has decided it doesn't like me very much and has stopped working.
Anyways, frustration aside, look at this little goober...
I FIXED THE MACHINE!

Cape prototype is finished!
The whole thing is coming together bit by bit, and I couldn't be happier...
...Looking rather fashionable too, might I add.
How it started vs how it's going
HE'S HERE!
Had some minor complications sewing the bottom, but all together, he's come out perfectly!
The little crown is just so cute <3
All that's left is to embroider the mouth & eyebrows, then I'll get started on the cape

Soo, the fluffy boi's head is attatched....
...would've been done sooner, but I was busy playing the dlc (which is rlly fun)
Preview for the goat's head: came out a lot better than last time, with no torn fabric and much better results
Mini updates:
Had to restart the goat head. Have I mentioned how much I hate working with Faux fur before?...
.... Aaaanyways, on a more positive note, I've got all the pieces cut out for the lamb...
... Soon
Here's the updated prototype for the nari plush head. At first, I didn't like how big the ears are but I'm slowly warming up to them
Yup, Im committed to putting the button eyes on the crowns cause, like...
C'mon, look how cute these little guys are!
The head's all put together and stuffed so I can get a good look at everything so far...
I'm thinking of using yellow slit buttons for the eyes, but I'll be switching them to white if I don't like how they look when the whole thing is put together.
On the topic of button eyes, I think it's a cute idea to do the same with the crowns instead of just embroidering the eye on instead
Any thoughts?
Progress update!
The head's all pinned and ready to sew...
Also, I got the legs sewn onto the bottom and put aside for later
Hard part done! now for the much worse, yet somehow easier at the same time, part
Figured I'd quickly pin on the goat's face
Look at this cute little guy, not even a day old, yet he's giving me a look that promises to murder me in my sleep <3
The prototype is finished!
Now that all the templates are in working order, I can get started on using the actual fabrics for the lamb & goat. I'm really happy with how this fella is coming out.
The finished prototypes for the ears, crown as well as the Goat & Lamb's horns...
Also, here's what the shape of the faces should look like.
