Longer!? O____O Wow! But I guess with more knowledge come more to think of when making them, and things to do better. ^^

Yep, there has been an increase of 10 hours between blue-green dragon (my profile pic at the time of this comment) and Lume!

Thats impressive! Or maybe scary to know as Im trying to make my own ones right now. Haha But I start out easy with small and floppy dolls. My dream is to be able to create a horse being but Im dead scared of the sewing in that case. I have never been good at sewing and making patterns, and I cant wrap my head around how people can get their posables to look so defined. I mean with the legs, its not only a body and legs sticking out under them, you really see the front legs/shoulders and hind legs rounding out from the sides of the animals, I understand its because they are sewn that way and I guess when I have put wrapping on a armature I will understand better how that works. Hopefully. XD

The nice thing about posables is that you DON'T need a really good pattern like you do for a normal plushie! It's actually much, much more forgiving.

I have a hard time wraping my head around that, haha. But I guess the furr hide a lot, and that you can use sissors on the fur and shape forms too. Still I dont think I can sew it as a tent and hope for it to look okay. :XD: ;P But I kinda believe that when I actually sit down to sew the dolls I will get the hang of it pretty fast. If all else around here can do it, I must be able to eventually. :D

I think you'll understand once you get there. Basically you'll just have to figure out how to piece the fur without it wrinkling too much - but the shapes you use won't need to form the body on their own; you are sewing them over a form that is already there.
