Puppets

After Megaplex I want to work on designing puppets. I have been wanting to do this for ages but have a very specific look I want to go for. Now with TPU printing I do not have to worry about casting foam heads or bodies when I can just print it. So going to design a puppet, from the belly up. Plan to do the body in TPU (hollow) along with the head and ears. The arms will be noodle arms so they have more movement but the hands will also be TPU with wire in-between them to be able to pose them....

Doll fixes - almost there

Working with manufacturers means using real world examples to show what I need. Been having a struggle telling them to lower the eyes but looks like they are starting to get it. The toy is almost there which is very exciting as this is a small 20cm posable doll. The Nuimos by Disney have been a really good example to show what is possible or can be improved upon. This lil guy has gone through a few versions but very close to being just right.

Gotta keep pushing until they fully see my v...

Wolf partial for Megaplex

1 of the 5 partials we will have available at the con 😊 Working on another wolf to match and 4 Protogens. Come by our table 👀

Manufacturer updates - Plush + Kigu

Since I have a few projects all out at once we are talking to quite a few manufacturers. Currently getting all the wolves done this month to have at least a batch in time for the con. We also got word the coyote plush sample will be shipped out next month which means we will have it at Megaplex. I wish I had a bit more time before the con to do more orders for the new projects but looks like those will have to wait. So the coyote plush will be the next large plush we will have available later...

Puppers are coming

Releasing these in batches starting this week. VRC, Quest VRC and VRM. Need to take videos next and get the substance painter file ready 😊

VRC/VRM Puppy Release

Working on releasing the VRC puppy in parts. I should be releasing the vtubing version starting next week and soon after the rest. I am testing a few more apps on ios that let you take your puppy on the phone (ios and android) to take photos. Going to go over a few of those apps and how to use them. This project took a lot longer but I am so very happy with the overall look of it all I can't wait to fully release it. Thank you for being so very patient with me on this :3

Yotey preview part 2

We have updated photos from the Manu and I’m really happy with this one. Trying to get the sample in time for Megaplex to show. This fur is very plush and soft. Hope to have video of him soon 😊

Preview from the manufacturer - Yotey

Take in mind the body colors are not right at the moment as we were trying to get the right body shape down. But right patterns/furs on the body are being done next as I am super happy with how it’s looking. Final zipper will be way more hidden as well. This one will be our coyote 3 foot plush. This one is a different company and hope to have the sample in time to show at Megaplex. This one has super nice thick soft fur as I really pushed it with this company.

More progress on this o...

Inflatable Fox has arrived - My thoughts

This is our first inflatable and going into a whole new territory so to speak so learning as we go. With that being said it is crazy to see something you modeled in 3D get turned into a 7 foot long giant fox. I have to say I love being able to inflate the toy and see an idea I had in mind come to life.

So the company I got this from isn't the best per say and has some not so good practices but sadly did not know this when I ordered the sample. So I am currently working with another comp...

TPU ears for sale 🙌🏼

Selling a few pairs of TPU ears before Megaplex. Running this sale until these are sold but only have 1 or 2 sets of each. Please look at the photos and see which style works for you. These are printed in TPU, they have a bit of squish but keep their shape well. Very hard to destroy these as they are pretty much printed rubber. Hot glue sticks to this material without an issue. We made these to work with our printed head bases. If you have any questions be sure to ask.

Ears are sold as ...

Nuimo like husky preview

Working with the manu at the moment. Super happy with how it’s looking. Asked for a few changes, more defined cheeks, 3d nose so it sticks out, and more of a back curve. It’s almost there. These have a skeleton inside so they can be posed and magnets on their hands too. Almost there with this one but had to share progress.

These are only 20cm tall, easy travel buddies 🐶

Fox Inflatable Sample

The fox sample has been completed. Very happy with the start of this project. Plan to have it for display at Megaplex this year. Will be going over a few things to alter for the next revision (facial seam placement being one, ear placement, revision of the thickness of the arms etc). This is our first inflatable design so very excited where this is going.

He’s 7 feet, plan to make a cute bandana for him to display at the table 🦊

If you are going come by the booth and get your...

Stickers in the works

Working on a few designs to have printed by end of this month. Plan to work on peeking stickers too as I have always liked that look. Might even tackle drawing Bluey ones in my style since I love their designs 😊.

TPU ear types

Printing quite a few of these to have them ready to offer at Megaplex and then here. From k9 ears, felines and hyena. Will keep adding to these and offering more as I go. Very excited about these 😊

Working on a husky Nuimo

Nuimos are these adorable plush dolls that Disney released a few years back. Around 20cm in height and really cute tiny plush people were taking around to the parks to pose with and take photos. The idea really kicked off in Japan, I own a few and love the design, simple yet really cute. So I wanted to make my own. Currently in talks with a manufacturer about getting these made, the bodies will be posable, and the hands will have magnets in them to hold stuff or each other. Once the sample is...

New ear shapes

Working on a few TPU ear shapes. Will start printing these tonight. These will all work with my current 3D printed Etsy bases. Previews for now 😊. Will have these available at Megaplex then on here before they go on Etsy.

Girly base 👀

Started working on this base a while ago but decided to go back to it last night. Been sick since yesterday so trying to work on some pieces I can do while laying in bed. Goal is to have it printed in time to offer at Megaplex this year.

Who’s ready for inflatables 👀

Just got renders from the company making our first inflatable and I couldn’t be happier. This is going to be the test model and should have it in hand by July. He will be 7 feet long, multi chamber. Super excited to dip my toe into this. If you are interested in one respond below, gauging interest until I get my sample in the mail. The plush and inflatables will be run under our new company “soft candy toys”.

Price to be determined until I can talk real numbers with the company a...

Re-Colors for the Puppy Avatar

Working on getting all the re colors completed this week and getting the Quest stand alone version of this one ready to go. Once this one is released it will have the VRC PC version, Quest version and full Arkit VRM version for Vtubing.

Will release these in parts here on Patreon starting with the VRM file.

Want to get a few more things done then I can start taking photos and video to show everything the avatar can do. I plan to release updates overtime for this one so expect a l...

Fox Plush 🦊 *first edition*

After month of dealing with 3 separate companies one of the plush designs has arrived. Fox this time and overall pretty happy. I would say I’m 80% there on this design but definitely have a better idea having it in hand.

Here are a few things I want to change:

• Thinner neck, the collar sorta pulls it in as the neck was non existent and was way too big once stuffed. So he’s wearing the collar to give him a more defined look.
• Front of the arms need a shoulder of som...

Fox Inflatable *waiting on sample*

Using the same design I created for the plush to get almost 7 foot inflatable made to look like this fox. So I hope to have plush and inflatable that sorta match each other. Really excited to venture into the world of inflatables. Spent a bit of time in the inflatables room at FWA and really inspired me to order from a company I have been talking to for years but never pursued getting a custom until now. Since these are more of an investment than plush I may see how the final comes out and ma...

Fox Plush Sample

Finally got a sample much closer to my art but out of the 3 companies this one has been pretty friendly to deal with. Not exactly what I was after but I will tweak a few things myself when it arrives to give it a bit more shape on the face. Don’t plan to do a bulk order with this company as it doesn’t feel “exactly” like I was after but close. I am working with 2 new companies at the moment that should hopefully get the look a lot closer.

This has been a learning process and wi...

CHOMP and Manufacturer Woes

CHOMP is just around the corner, and I've been dedicating a lot of time to getting this event off the ground. Deciding to tackle much of this on my own might not have been the smartest idea, but I’m glad I did. I’m learning a lot about the ins and outs of running larger events, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me. We sold out all 300 tickets last night, which happened much faster than I expected. It looks like Florida is eager for events, so I'll provide the space wh...

Clothing designs

Puppy needs clothing so these are some of the initial designs we will offer with the dog plush. The bubbles show the color options we will have in the future 😀

Very excited working on this one. Will add hats at a later date 🥹

Puppy plush

Working on a biped plush about the size of an American doll. Want to do a cute dog line since I love dogs. So first one will be a type of collie, working with a manufacturer for this one. Much smaller than the giants I am working on at the shop and the laying down foxes. Quick preview 👀 hope to have a clothing line for these too.

More soon 🐶
