I've been on a roll with commisions lately, making progress on all of them, and then I saw Flutterbat.
Temptation.
Well I wanted to resist, but the pull was too strong... so I made a small Flutterbat plushie to get it out of my system XD. Now back to commissions!

She's a really nice colour, what colour minky did you use? I always find yellow a bit too pale, this colour looks much better

Thank you 
You could try Sunshine or Lemon (Lemon might be a bit dark though).

I digitized the embroidery work for the inside of the ears and embroidered them by machine like the eyes & cutie marks ^_^

Ahhh...I thought it looked like embroidery. Very nice design. Really show accurate.

Yep ^-^
If you're ever in doubt, 90% of the time it'll be embroidery 
I did see yours, it's looking really good so far! Have any plans on how you're going to do the ears?

Same here! I was concerned during the entire auction, however I started to calm down once I saw that a few of the highest bidders had positive ratings. Right now Paypal is actually giving the buyer a rough time, so she's having to send payments. It's pretty ridiculous, but definitely not her fault :c

Oh I bet! Well, that's definitely good. eBay is always a hit or miss for me

why cant homemade plushes be $12 or less?? hundreds of dollars or more sounds greedy to me....
👍: 0 ⏩: 4
go make a plushie yourself, then put it up for sale for $12.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
$12?!?!? Seriously? It takes a solid 8-12 hours of work for a plush like this. We don't work in Sweat shops in China,...
But, if you want your own plushies learn to make them yourself, it's what I did a year ago,...

True...
But I personally wouldn't be all
"Wario McGreedy pants" their...

What's greedy is someone expecting something for nothing. You really have no idea how labor extensive plushies are to make, not to mention how costly high quality materials are. Some of us, like myself, do this for a living. Fanmade crafts are nothing like cheap, mass produced goods and we are not sweat shop workers. We spend dozens of hours creating plushies by hand with our own patterns making sure everything looks just right. It's a luxury to own artwork and if you cannot afford it, then it is no fault of ours and shame on you for thinking we owe you our hard work for next to nothing.

Materials alone cost more than $12.
This plushie took me three days to create and is my primary source of income.
Once you deduct fees (10% for eBay, 4% for Paypal) $150 becomes $129.
If I don't even include materials this would be just over $5/hr. Less than minimum wage.
That's why handcrafted plushies are the prices that they are, it's not greed. A skilled artisan should make more than someone flipping burgers, not less.
