Stuffed stuff: Bear Shaman from Castle Crashers
Created and stuffed: October 2009
When I was making birthday gifts for Dan Paladin, the creator and art director of Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers, I originally wanted to make four plushes. I was very ambitious and optimistic. But as I expected, I couldn’t finish them on time… I didn’t want to sent them too late (since they were birthday gifts) so I only sent him two plushes of the character from the new game that’s coming out 2010. (“Cube head guy” and “Golden whale”)
After I sent off the birthday gifts, I decided to finish them anyway. This was one of the birthday gifts, bear shaman (or Bipolar bear? Not sure of the official name) from Castle Crashers. Since I had a little more extra time to finish, I got the right doll eyes. I modified the patterns for the Dana doll I’ve made for my friend, and made the pattern for his head.
head bigger than the body = cute factor
Actually he's got a fluffy tail. If I ever make another one, I think I'll make it with yarn.
For his nose and mouth, I used black stitching thread.
Big eyes = cute factor
He’s got blood on his forehead, his body is mean looking… of course, in the absolutely cutest way possible. 
I thought about splashing red acrylic paint for the blood but I wasn’t sure how an acrylic paint would look on the fuzzy surface of fleece, so I decided to cut red felt and glued it on as the blood.
Blood on his forhead = cute factor
Huge eyes = cute factor
Blood everywhere = cute factor
Oh yeah, and he’s got a fish sword.
Dead fish as a weapon = cute factor
Everything together = uber cute
