Art Nouveau Death Commission

I have had the pleasure of doing two Death of the Endless commissions recently. This piece is particularly unique because it fills the end pages of an epic collections of commissions (all of Death) from an impressive list of artist. It is a truly special book and an honour to complete the collection.

The design measures 13 x 34 cm and was drawn directly onto the back inside cover and last page using Copic fineliners and black ink. I also designed a new signature monogram especially for this piece which I think I will use from now on.

Team Arrow Commission

Something a bit different from my usual style – this is a commission I finished recently for a Green Arrow fan combining his favourite versions of Team Arrow.

In the future he plans to get a version of this illustration as a tattoo so it was very important to get all of the details right!

It is always fun to draw superheros. It reminds me of how much I loved comics growing up and the hours I pored over them and the hours and hours I spent drawing the characters from them.

Custom Captain Jane Shepard Mass Effect Plush

Another commission from last year and probably one of the most complex plush toys I have created in a while, a custom chibi Captain Jane Shepard.

She is a small but huggable 16 inches tall plush made with high quality and very soft fleece material with felt and embroidered details.
The custom hair style and skin color was requested by the client. Her armour is made from dark grey and black fleece and felt with applique ribbon for the stripes. Her lips, eyes and all other embroidered/applique was done freehand. The base of her boots is re-enforced with plasticard to help them keep their shape (flat at the bottom) and help her stand.

Godzilla Plush

I designed and made this cute little Godzilla plush as a Christmas present for a friend who has everything. The plush would be roughly 30cm tall (I forgot to measure the finished plush once it was finished) made from grey-ish green fleece with grey felt claws and back spikes. There are plastic “beans” in the feet and bottom to help him sit up right and give him weight. The eyes are made with embroidered gold glitter felt.

I am thinking of simplifying this pattern to make smaller Godzilla plushies to sell in my shop and at my upcoming events.

Pair of Red & Gold Wedding Lion Dance Plush Toys

I was honoured to be asked to create a pair of Lion Dance plushies for a friend’s sister’s wedding. I am particularly proud of these toys, not only because I think they turned out really well but because I had only a week to make them both!

Made in lucky red and gold they are approx. 20cm long based on my existing pattern but with extra large heads to make them more “chibi”.
Like the previous lions they have silver faux leather mirrors on their foreheads and red felt “fringe” embroidered on the body and legs.
For these plushies I included extra pom pom details to the nose and head. The feet have been re-enforced with plasticard for balance and stability.

The plush lions were presented to the bride and groom in a very special lion dance performance.

Custom Cookie Monster Plush

A special secret commission for a friend at the end of last year. A cookie monster for a wonderful kooky monster 😀

Made from bright blue faux fur he sits roughly 25cm (10in) tall holding a embroidered felt chocolate chip cookie. The mouth is black felt reinforced with card and the eyes are ping-pong balls.

I love his tufts of fur on his fingers and toes.

Fallout Jumpsuit Vault 111 Costume

A friend of mine’s daughter wrote me in her best handwriting to asking if I would make her a Fallout Jumpsuit for her to wear to PAX Aus this past weekend. I of course excitedly agreed!

Her family provided the blue coveralls and I quickly set to work to transform it into a 111 jumpsuit. After sewing down the collar, some heat transfer vinyl and a yellow karate belt it was ready set out into the wasteland.

Custom Bahamut Dragon Plush from FF7

This custom designed Bahamut plush dragon from Final Fantasy 7 is probably one of the most complicated plush toys I have made so far.

The plush is made from fleece and felt and stands at only 8 inch tall – roughly 12-13 inches tall including the wings and spikes.
He has glittery gold felt eyes and the claws are silvery grey. The wings are fully wired and pose-able and help the plush stand on its own. All the embroidery details have been done freehand by machine.
