Commission: Okami Amaterasu Tundra beads

I'm very pleased with how she turned out I tried out some things I haven't before to really capture the character design as much as possible. She was a challenge but a fun challenge to beat nonetheless. 

Because the plush is so small for so much detail I had to simplify some characteristics slightly (such as leaving one or two curls/swirls out.) I also tried to make the plush not too crowdy or bulky by adding the smaller leg wisps with felt and them embroidered it to make things more sturdy and durable. Making everything stuffed would just be too much for a floppy of this size

The commissioner wanted me to make a amaterasu plush with the Tundra beads. In my opinion, one of the most difficult ones to make and I'm surprised I pulled it off well enough with the first attempt. The most work and time was definitely put into her weapon. The crystal around her neck is made of very thick sturdy felt machine-embroidered with glittery blue embroidery thread to give it a fun sparkling ice effect. It will really show under artificial light or sun light. The polymer clay beads have a nice pearly sheen to them thanks to the mother of pearl medium I added when painting them.

This amaterasu plush measures just under 11 inches in length.
