//------------------------------// // Candle Plushies // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Umm, hi everyone. Sorry for not being active lately. I know there are several stories that I need to finish and I've also promised stories for a few log you. I'll try to get to them I promise. As you might know, I moved out of my apartment and into a new house I'm sharing with Tech :) I’m still keeping my old apartment and transform it into a work studio, but that requires a little bit more time and effort. There's something else I want to talk to you about. After reading a few of the changeling stories I got inspired and made a human plushie. Unlike my first attempts I'm actually happy how it turned out so I thought I'd share: [Danny006.ani] As you can see this is Danny in his standard jeans and sweater (as described in Everhere). If you try this at home, please don't try to make type hands too detailed. I spend days trying to make the fingers only to fail utterly. The paw plus thumb approach works best and as is visible it doesn't diminish anything (I think to even makes it look cute). The nose was another problem, skin the end I used pins under the fabric to give it the unmistakable look. Everything else is more or less standard. All in all it took me a week to finish this (with me being free half the time). Now that I have gone through a number of failures I think I can manage to replicate it in a few days. My question to you is…would you like having one of these? :) I'm not sure how fast I'll be, but I'll gladly make more. Candle @Candle: That is magnificent! I definitely want one. Can you make OCs too? I just love the Sword/Shield Lover characters. :) Just tell me your rates. I'll send you a few sketches I have of them. PaintDrop @PaintDrop: I can't ask money for this. It's just something I enjoy doing and I’d love to see more plushies out there. I've read the story and like it. If there's nothing unexpected this week I'll have them done by the end of it. Candle @Candle: Don't me silly! It's an insult to art and talent to have them done for free. (Yes, I said it, all you freeloaders!) thankfully, I'm here to offer a mutually agreeable solution: “pay as much as you feel” It's a new business method that is picking up steam especially in the arts and crafts sector. Since you feel uncomfortable about asking money for what you consider to be fun, who about the buyers decide? I know that Paint, I, and a few others are packed and not everypony could afford what we'd give, but anypony can at least leave a token amount. I, personally, would like a Molly plushie. :D RRBB @InItForTheShipping: darling, can we get a few plushies for Flurry? I think they'll be perfect for her! Just think how much more free time you’ll have when she's playing with her plushies instead of flying about the palace. It's a win-win! :) SaltyHuman @SaltyHuman: -.- A win-win is it? I pay for it, then you sneak it away and Flurry never gets to see it. You can be so transparent sometimes! @Candle: when you could I'd appreciate an Everprince plushie (with crown). InItForTheShipping Pfft! Everprince? Really? With crown even?! SaltyHuman is that your dark side showing? :P Not that I’m surprised. Yours sister has a thing for centaurs and your wife is the worst shipper on the site after Twist :P *yay* I love you all! :) Feather @CodeFilly: Thaco, we’ll have a foal too! We must be ready for it and have a Blazen plushie. *puppy eyes* MightyDragon @Candle: if there are still slots open I'd like a Bellucio for Lyra. I know she'll appreciate it :) @SaltyHuman: I’m with Feather on that. Everprince with a crown? I never expected this from you. Guess I should be careful :) Bob That so cuuuute! I want it, I need it! How did you manage to make it so cute, Candle? I love that small nose! I really do! If you ask me you should make a business selling those things. You'll be rich! My only problem is…I don't know what to choose! Danny is so nice, but so are the rest of the grand 9. And the god. And a few secondary characters. Argh! So many options! :/ Why are you torturing me like this?! MixaMax @MightyDragon: No. Karl would be more suitable. CodeFilly @CodeFilly: you'd replace Blazen for a background character? :( MightyDragon @MightyDragon: if you read carefully you'd see that Karl creates and Blazen destroys. Karl is literally an expert in bioengineering, while Blazen steals souls away. And as you fully well know, reaction is always superior to destruction. CodeFilly I think I'll just make both for you O:) Candle Everypone, while I encourage your interest, please keep in mind that Candle has a life of her own. I'm not talking the requests here (which have become more than enough at this point), but the swarm of PMs that have flooded her scrollbox. If I, as an admit, have come to notice that means the scrollbox is dangerously close to overflowing. Since you are so interested, I shall personally take it upon myself to make a how to collage of shots showing Candle making each of the plushies. That way the more enthusiastic of you can try on your own. Thank you, The TechNightling Tech, you better be grateful that there are exams coming. Pretty much everypony I know has started a self imposed embargo till next week. Actually that's all the better for me :) I'm a bit sad that the rest won't get a chance, but hey such is life :P I wonder if SweetStuff’s sister will try her horn at this. Guess I'll ask her. RRBB @RRBB: you can be such a *yay* :) And I'm sure there will be more plushies out there, especially with the how to guide Tech is about to make. By the way has anyone heard Brush lately? I haven't seen her at all since her proposal. PaintDrop @PaintDrop: she's fine, sis. I saw her yesterday. She and CEOWitch spent a few hours in tech Crystal Empire, before flying off east. Everything is fine. You just focus on relaxing and getting better. I'll come see you in a few days. MasterOfThisAstra Wait! Wait! Can I get an Omni? O:) DaBoss @DaBoss: Yes you could. With that I'll be locking the thread. If Candle can start another batch she'll post it on the site. Thank you, The TechNightling
