Smilodon Tiger WIP 1

Most of you were right in guessing my latest plush will become a tiger c: Though it's actually the kind that lived many many MANY years ago. I know Smilodons (Sabertooth tigers) are usually pictured without stripes or spots but as far as I know, there's no way to find out what colour coat an animal who lived so long ago had, rigth? So I'm giving it my own twist c:

Since I've been a little girl, the Sabertooth has been one of my favorite creatures (yes, I always liked the dangerous and scary animals lol) so I've been wanting to make one in like forever!

I'm also making this plush to practice feline paws for standing plushies. I have about 4 custom feline characters to make and I want to make them with a perfected pattern c: This is only one, unstuffed half btw.
