Description
Ovelle is a commission for !I've admired Mantibabs as a species for a while now, and as my plush skills have evolved over time, I thought that plushing one would be a great challenge and a change from what I've made in the past. They have such unique anatomy and always varied markings and colors! When Shinto came to me with Ovelle, I knew I had to plush her! Her colors and markings are just fabulous and provided fun and exciting technical challenges to overcome.
I really put my heart and soul into her form and details, and I'm overjoyed with how she looks. She's definitely my greatest plush accomplishment so far and I'm super proud of her, something that as an artist who's constantly critical of herself, I very rarely get to feel, haha.
For the specs:
Ovelle isΒ 17" tall at the top of her head (not including her horns).
She is made out of white, azure, pumpkin, orange, electric blue, pink, and rust minky.
She has poly pellets in her feet to weight her a little, and many of her details (eyes, blue spots, eyebrow) are machine embroidered.
I was struck with the idea to make a quick turnaround GIF (probably from too much 3D modelling for school) so I figured I'd link it here!
Ovelle Turnaround
If you have any other questions about my process, feel free to ask!
Please do not ask for prices/quotes in comments as I prefer to keep records in notes.
Mantibabs are a closed species by PhloxeButt !
Ovelle belongs to Shinkei-Shinto .
I believe her design was originally by roialty .

Thank you! That's so kind c:
And her toes are needle sculpted with embroidery floss, so the separation is a little thicker than with thread.

You're most welcome!
Ahh, okay! That explains the look; I couldn't tell at first due to the thickness of the toe indents, I'll have to keep that in mind because it's a great idea.

HELLO wow. I've been wanting to give up on making plushes myself, because I can't find nice free patterns and I can't seem to create a good one for myself, but THIS. Wow. I am so blown away I just can't quit now! I don't know HOW you created this AMAZING WONDERFUL FANTASTICAL piece of art, but I am absolutely speechless and shocked. I saw a WIP of this and was impressed, but now? I can't even. Words do not describe how amazing this is!Β
Those horns are so cute and her EARS are just fabulous and can we talk about that BUTT. FLUFF. Wowa. I am insanely in love with the detail, time, and effort you put into this piece. You can just SEE that you put your heart into it and your love SHOWS. I know Shin will take super good care of this Ovelle Plush and I know they will treasure it always. Β I've made up my mind and when my funds allow (and your comms are open) I must get a plush from you.Β
A+++ and hugs to you.

I'm so moved that you would keep plushing because of this, wow! I mean... that means so much! It's hard and definitely a struggle to pattern your own plushes, but if you stick with it, you certainly will get better! Rehashing patterns over and over is the way, haha!
Thank you so, so much! You are also an amazingly lovely commenter!
if you ever need advice on a pattern or something, shoot me a note and I'm happy to help 8DD
