This is one of my old plush I made a couple of years ago.
Shmee from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez
Created and stuffed in May 2007
Shmee is a stuffed bear which a boy named Squee carries around in the comic. Squee carries Shmee around all the time and often talks to him like he’s a real person.
The pattern was nothing complicated. Simple two-sided head and body with cone-shaped arms and legs.
Stitching fake scars is fun!
Cone shaped/Cylindar shaped feet, a la my little pony
In fact, I thought it was too simple I decided to use different fabrics for different parts to add some character. I had a large amount of fake leather fabric I had bought for something else (the fabric an office chair is made out of) so I used it for the black part of his mouth and nose. I also had white latex fabric, so I used it for his eyes and teeth.
I like the texture on the black fake leather fabric.
I used leather strings for the hair.
And I stitched on the tail and added artificial stitches on his body in the end. I probably made this one really quick, in about a few hours, I think.
I usually give my plush dolls away but I still have this one. It’s kind of rare thing for me to make a plush and keep it and it makes me feel weird to own a plush I made. It feels like it’s not alive until it’s adapted. Maybe I’ll find him a nice home someday.

I was born in Japan, lived in New York for a while and now living in San Diego, California. I love creating things with my hands in my free time whether it’s making character bento or stuffing stuff! And now I'm working for

That’s so cool! A lot of disturbing images from the comic..but I guess that’s what you should expect when reading the title.
how can you give them away? i love your plushies. They are adorable!
OH. MY. SWEET. BABY. ZEUS.
Do you sell these? I have been looking FOREVER for a Shmee teddy bear. I have wanted one ever since I picked up my first JTHM comic and my Garfield Pooky Bear was just brutally slaughtered by a dog so I need a new bear. I have seen your other plushies and they are perfection! I have attempted to make Shmee but have failed miserably, multiple times. Could you please help me out? I love your work, and of course Jhonen’s. (I’m such a dork) Thanks.
Oh my Zeus. That is adorable! I love Jhonen Vasquez! Your plushies are amazing! Do you sell them? I would love to buy this Shmee.
I don’t sell my plushes… Sorry! But Shmee is super easy to make. Let me know if you have any questions!
I. Love. You. My husband is totally going to pee when he sees this… Keep it up, you awesome genius, you!!!! <3
This question was asked before but I didn’t see an answer, do you sell these? If not would you be app kind as to scan and copy the pattern you used so I can try to fashion one??
I don’t sell my plushes or give away my patterns. Sorry! But I’m planning on doing a post on how to make a plush/patterns soon.
You would make soooooo much money selling these. Nobody makes these and jthm has a cult following so the demand is high. I would be your first customer for sure. Name your price.
