Description
Sorry for those who fav'd and commented on this originally, there was an error was it was uploading and it wasn't showing up in my gallery at all.So this is what most people stopped by my gallery wanting to see and to be honest I am kicking myself a little bit for not posting it sooner.
This hoodie was a request from my boyfriend of 6 years sometime last fall to put together. With commissions and attempting to get AA stuff together it ended up being put off until about a month before PAXeast this year. So I made it up to him by putting together a really awesome hoodie.
Just a warning to have a hoodie commissioned like this is going to cost quite a bit more than my normal hoodies. There is an insane amount of time, effort and supplies put into this.
At the moment I am currently closed for all character hoodie commissions. I will be posting on my journal when I am able to take on more.

O_O It looks so cozy!! I love the detail you put into this hoodie. Does the shell come off like a backpack? Or is that sewn on to the back? It looks removable.

OMFG! That hoodie is SO AWESOME! How long did it take you average?

The Bowser hoodie is probably the most time consuming of the hoodies I make. If I were to sit down and dump 8 to 10 hours at a time into it and nothing else I could do the shell in 2-3 days and the hoodie itself in a day or 2 but by the end of it I'm nearly completely burned out because it is really stressful so I try spread that out over 2 to 3 weeks.

wow.. great job! question: how did you make the shell? ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is actually a pretty complicated answer. To put it simply I start by making a foam insert to put into the shell and the spikes then work from the outside in to make the rest of the bag.

how did you frm the spikes? ^^
it looks great!

Yep, when we discussed doing it before PAXeast this year I suggested doing it this way because I know he tends to carry a bunch of stuff at con.
Thanks!

Sarah, this one looks wonderful! I love the details you put into it and it fits your friend perfectly. I'm sure even Super Mario would stop by walking by and say: "Mama Mia!"
So nice...so sad...T_T...Can't stop thinking about the package which still haven't showed up yet.*sighs*

Thanks, I'm right with you being almost depressed over it taking so long. Still taking apart parts of my house looking for the receipt. Also the boyfriend's mom is going to try helping out calling some people she knows. So *crosses fingers*.

I'm realllllyyyy hoping you love it as much as I do. Can't wait to see pictures if you post them.

Good morning! Just wanted to see if you already saw my reply(-^.=.^-). I know that you were also afraid about the status of the package so I surely needed to inform you about it's arriving here.
Thanks, Sarah!
