The full set of amigurumi Inners (plus Astarte), sitting together on the bottom shelf.

Project no. 25 and my physically-largest and most challenging one to date: Seine, an earth dragon of Ashlands! (Forgive the unfortunate state of our basement.)

Ho. Lee. Shit.

"Let's make Seine," I thought. "It'll be a good excuse to try out variegated yarn," I thought. (Her redesign, not yet posted, still has her with pure ivory plumage, but I was planning on making more dragons with variegated yarn and wanted her to match.) What I did not anticipate was how much time, effort, yarn, and stuffing was going to go into her--to give an idea, Seine took not only what was left of my first medium-blue skein, but the entirety of a second.

Seine ended up being a fairly rewarding project, but I'm now faced with a problem (besides the obvious "where the fuck do I put her"): it's currently not feasible for me to make the other dragons, at least not at this size. (Do I want to rule out chibi-fied dragons entirely? Not quite, but that would mean making Seine twice) Kaiju Seine might just have to be a one-off.

Pattern below, for anyone who wants to spend a couple weeks making a giant fuck-off dragon. Note that if you want to go the variegated route, you'll specifically need Red Heart's "Mirage":

Projects 12 and 13: two members of my Pokemon X team, Helios (dark green/red) and Selene (normal colours), back when they were both Kirlias. I was considering marking Selene as "project 12.5", since he's made from the same pattern, but decided to save myself future numbering headaches.

Helios is a remake of my first-ever amigurumi, shown in the third photo for comparison; I was able to give him a fuller skirt (even if I could only fit on five segments) and didn't make the mistake of stuffing his hair. While I was already thinking about it, having a piece left over from Helios spurred me to make Selene right after; they took about three days each, which has to be a personal record.

The original pattern I followed was by Machbunny; this new one is entirely my own and can be seen below:

The last member of DV's core seven (and project 19), Jess! Completed a couple of days ago; I know she looks weird without her shades, but I wasn't confident I could make those work.

This took a fair bit of experimentation--Jess has a very different body type from her pals, so I had to figure out how to make her both wider and shorter. The answer was to double three of the usual increase rounds, then do a normal round to get her to the number she needed to be at before moving up her torso. Jess's limbs are also wider.

Amigurumi Eternal Sailor Jupiter! Finished in the waning days of 2023, only uploaded now.

If you're wondering why I used "citrine dream" for her skin tone instead of light peach: I got into the habit of drawing Jupiter with the same skin tone as Vince, and wanted to keep things consistent.

[EDIT 1/8/24: sewed her bangs up and together to give them more of their shape.]

Project no. 23: Eternal Sailor Neptune (with bonus UraNep shot)! I told myself that she had to directly follow Uranus, because why wouldn't she.

Eight senshi in, and I finally did something about the arms. :U If/when I get around to cross-posting my patterns to Dreamwidth, everyone's patterns will be updated.

Note: whether you need four or five rows for the skirts will depend on how your yarn cooperates (or doesn't).

Eternal Sailor Uranus, project no. 22 and the first of the Outers to be made. (Actually finished her a few days ago, but when it came time to edit photos/post, I got a bit... sidetracked.)

Note the first: her hair colour, "sand", is in quotes because I used Magical Mystery Yarn(TM) from the basement that had long since shed its label. Substitute for whatever shade of light brown or blonde you want.

Note the second: while the pattern lists four rounds for the skirts as usual, I had to do one extra row for both. Your navy-blue yarn may cooperate more than mine.

(EDIT: revised the arms.)

Here's DV's core seven all together! Photos taken on our basement couch, the only thing that was both wide enough and would not require me to shuffle a million things around just to put them all back a minute later.

(Enzo and Angelus also got some minor touch-ups since I photographed them last--for the latter, filling in gaps in his bangs)

Continuing in my goal to plush-ify at least the starting party of Deus Vocatus (plus Raz), here's Pavo!.. who turned into an exercise in stubborn improvisation.

See, despite having made six human(oid) plushes already, I somehow forgot how to properly count rows to determine where to begin embroidering the face. (Because ADHD.) Which I didn't realize until after I "finished" crocheting his head, necessitated undoing two rows to lengthen it slightly, which in turn required crocheting an extra row on the hair cap. And then, somehow, the neck of his body ended up two crochets short, so that needed to be fixed as well.

(The colour changing intended to serve as his low-ish neckline didn't turn out so great, either.)

It was smooth sailing after that, though. And I think he turned out alright, given all the fumbling.

It's "guess which of my amigurumi got touched up again" time.

Vince got another row added to his jacket, along with an attempt at expanding his upper lapels to something resembling their proper length--and, while it may be hard to see in this photo, had his right arm (our left) re-positioned to be level with his other arm, a risky maneuver that I think mostly paid off.

Amigurumi project no. 5: Porygon2! This time, I was able to make it entirely on my own, with only a couple of rejected pieces (though the tail is rather floppy), over the course of three days.

Besides the simplicity of its design, I think I fixated on Porygon2 because--with nobody to trade with and not nearly enough patience for slot machines--it's a Pokemon that I've never legitimately owned in any game.
