Description Other angles as well as photos of it in the dark over at my Tumblr!

I loved the look of the Cybugs from Wreck-It Ralph so I decided to make a baby one as a warmup to get me back into my sewing groove

It was tons of fun to make and I really love how it turned out. It was also good practice for the Galvantula plush I want to make in the future

It ended up being about life sized. It's 8in tall, 13in long, and about 14in wide with the legs spread out.

Woah! how does it glow like that?!

did you douse the fabric with fairy dust and unicorn tears? Or is it just a special order fabric?

Ahaha I wish it were just fabric. It's two coats of glow in the dark fabric paint over all of the green areas. Which is great for novelty effect, but not so great for hugging. It's actually relatively hard, makes a knocking sound if you tap on it, although it's still flexible.

This is adorable!
I wanted a King Candy Cy bug plush, but im sure they are too expensive... And too much work.
But after seeing this, i would totally buy one. I saw you would be selling them for 40$, thats still okey with me... Its the shipping what scares me the most XD

Could i ask you about the fabric you used to make it? Im curious. In my country there are no fabrics for making plushes... no matter where i look.

AmberTDD In reply to Pimander1446 [2013-05-09 03:28:21 +0000 UTC]

Ahaha yeah, shipping keeps getting more and more expensive lately. :'D

I used Anti-pill fleece for it and then painted the green with glow in the dark paint.

Pimander1446 In reply to AmberTDD [2013-05-09 12:27:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah xD Specially sending it to europe. I saw it was the most expensive of all shippings.

Thanks for the info It looks adorable.
There are no such materials where i live xD And again buying through internet, would mean the shipping. Nuuu! XDD

I saw you was working on a commision of a King Candy Cy bug? Will you post photos when its done? Maybe i try giving myself a birthday present, even if its a bit expensive xD (of course i understand if you never again want to do such a difficult plush XDD)
Ill first see the results xD So my mother approves of using my money to buy one XD

And good luck with your work! Its awesome.

AmberTDD In reply to Pimander1446 [2013-05-10 08:11:20 +0000 UTC]

Unless something's changed recently it costs the same to ship to Europe as it does to any overseas country. The only two countries that are less expensive are Mexico and Canada since they're right next door.

I will post photos when it's done but I don't think I'm going to make any more of him. He's a lot harder than the baby cybugs. :'D

Thank you!

hmm

OH, thats what i imagined ^^U Oh my, pity. Well, i need to find a way to get my King Candy bug xD
Or maybe normal king candy with Cy bug traces. (that its what i like to draw xD)
This is what i mean : [link]
But im sure its still difficult.

Why wouldnt disney sell king candy stuff? They should do villains merchandise >>
At the end ill have to try and learn how to make myself one xD

And thanks for the answers, btw!

I don't suppose you'd ever post the pattern somewhere? I'd love to make one of my Cybug, Skitters.

I don't post my patterns, sorry. :c
I would love to see a baby Skitters someday though omg he is such a cutie already <3

I know, right?
I'd make my own Cybaby but I suck eggs...

Instead of posting a pattern, perhaps a commission?

AmberTDD In reply to TDLBallistic [2013-02-27 03:21:08 +0000 UTC]

Commissions definitely I was thinking about opening just Cybaby plush commissions after I finished the projects I'm currently working on. That requires me getting over all my stupid homework first though so I can focus solely on sewing.

TDLBallistic In reply to AmberTDD [2013-02-27 06:46:29 +0000 UTC]

Well, just send me a note when you're free!
How much would they be? 20? 10?

AmberTDD In reply to TDLBallistic [2013-02-27 08:38:52 +0000 UTC]

The larger about life sized baby cybugs are $55 plus shipping and the smaller ones that are about 5in tall, 8.5in long are $40 plus shipping

Wow! That's fair, though.
Do you have the final pattern all sorted out?

AmberTDD In reply to TDLBallistic [2013-02-28 06:41:56 +0000 UTC]

I've got the pattern worked out yeah, except for the faceplate, but I figure if I don't make a set pattern for it then each one will be a bit more unique

Actually, I came out of the movie theater saying, out loud, to my fiance, "You know, the baby cybug was soooo cute. I think I know what I want my first plushie to be." So she looks at me, a 27 year old male and says; "Weirdo."

I'm not sure about making another large one right now, but the smaller one I made so I could take commissions for smaller ones

AmberTDD In reply to Pixel-Program [2012-12-10 19:10:47 +0000 UTC]

I'm still not 100% sure what to charge but I was thinking something around $40 plus shipping costs, since even the smaller one takes a long time to make

Pixel-Program In reply to AmberTDD [2012-12-11 05:08:35 +0000 UTC]

right! ^^'' Is there any way you can sell it on eBay or something? I have no idea how to do it over dA... ><''

AmberTDD In reply to Pixel-Program [2012-12-11 07:37:12 +0000 UTC]

Over DA you'd just send the total cost through Paypal. I don't use e-bay for selling things, too many extra fees on top of the fees Paypal already likes to take out
But I also don't take payment until I'm ready to start on a plush
