Alright you cretins, come at me. I was responsible for Fangamer's Split Head plushie! www.fangamer.com/products/spl... I didn't make a full prototype myself, but I drew the turnaround, created the print texture, and figured out some of the troublesome construction elements.

30 years ago, lil' Eyes5 wanted to make a comic book and drew inspiration from a 2 page featurette in Nintendo Power about Dragon Hopper, a VB game that never got released. Didn't matter; she spent the next 4 years making a 28 chapter, 280 page epic where she imagined what would happen in the game!

I got Metroid ice cube trays for Christmas! Though instead of ice cubes, I learned to work with chocolate and NOW I'M MORE POWERFUL THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED HAHAHA

I carved some Metroid stamps~ I wanna stamp some fabric, though I'm not sure what I'm gonna make out of that fabric. Any ideas?! I'll also try a few paper printing experiments~

Although I lost my save file (save your game in a separate slot before the endgame, folks!), I had a lot of fun with Metroid Prime 4! I'll play it again soon and get 100%! But for now, I'm channeling my leftover energy into making some spoiler-free, low-effort Metroid comics.

Sooooo, if you're at the Prime 4 endgame, be very careful about your save. Ideally, copy over your save file. I made a mistake and I basically lost my data.

I made a sweet little Emul plushie for a present. I love the fluffy accents in her ears, tail, cheeks, and chest! It's been a long time since I made a plushie that I didn't have to worry about replicating, so I took a lot of shortcuts and used a lot of hand sewing, which I don't normally do.

My biggest fear when a new Metroid game comes out is that any new lore might mess with my precious headcanon.

The Lace plushie I prototyped is finally available! Would you believe that she's been sitting on my desk for five years?? She went through at least 5 iterations. Please enjoy these pics of some of those older prototypes, plus a pic of all the patterns I went through. More descriptions in the alts.

My prototype for the Frinos plushie is a borb. It's actually kind of challenging to make a borb that has curves in all the right places, like the jut of the mouth, the subtle curve of the head, etc. Please enjoy these pics of a pink, crescent-less, toe-less Frinos plushie.

I was tasked with translating Trogdor's very 2D design into a 3D plushie! I prototyped just the head cuz I wanted to experiment with the eyes and eyebrow placement. Is it possible to get that 2D look in a 3D plushie? ...No. No it's not. It's just too weird!

Are y'all watching the Undertale 10th anniversary stream? undertale.com/10/ I made the big Toriel up for donation! It is basically a bigger version of the small Toriel plushie available for sale from Fangamer. You can win her if you donate a bunch!

The Monster Kid plushie is adapted from a plush I made for a personal project. One interesting change is that we used knit instead of sewing fleece together to form stripes. I'm not familiar with the limitations of knit production, so it required some compromises and experimentation to make it work.

The Curly plushie from Fangamer has been revealed! I claim (take) responsibility for most of the creative work that brought him into being. And I wrote about it on my website! For lots of behind-the-scenes photos and insights, check it out here: www.metroidhat.com/ridley/curly...

I claim partial responsibility for Fangamer's latest travesty. Trucy's Magic """Bag""" is a shorts pattern in essence. Here are some of my prototype pictures and factory instructions.

just want everyone to know that my company, where we have like 401k's and management structure and careers, just released its latest product

Went to the Earthbound USA screening in Vancouver and saw Jazzy and Robbie on the big screen!

Y'all better believe that I've designed/prototyped plushies for some of these upcoming games.

I prototyped the recently released Jormungandr puppet from Fangamer! Or at least a wacky colored baby version of him.

My husband's out of town, so there's room on his side of the bed for two chickens to sleep. Is this a bad idea?

The Corrupted Storch plushie from Signalis is available at Fangamer! Despite how simple it looks, it has a deceptively complicated construction. That's because the stripes are actually cones, with each strip of fabric curved slightly differently in order to achieve a soft tapered candy-corn shape.

Here's the Broken Vessel prototype, from the Hollow Knight game. This plushie presented unique balancing and asymmetry challenges, as I wanted to preserve their hunched, sickly in-game posture. The second picture includes an even earlier prototype, when they had a more tentacle-like body.

BAGS *clap* BAGS *clap* BAGS Bags I made over the years!

Any fans of Hat in Time? Here's my prototype of the official Bow Kid plushie. Obviously she's has some crazy hair, but she's got many other little delightful details. At least, I find them delightful, from a construction standpoint! You can read more about her here www.metroidhat.com/ridley/bowki...

Once upon a time, I prototyped these Hollow Knight backpack clings. Fangamer still sells them, but we haven't made any more plushies of this size. That's because, even though they're much smaller, they're not proportionally cheaper or easier to produce than a full sized plushie.

Here's a series of Pokemon plushies I made oh... 14 years ago! They're one of a kind and feature a lot of fun elements, like polymer sculpted eyes, internal wires, and real feathers.

Here is a Jack Frost plushie that I prototyped for Fangamer! www.fangamer.com/collections/... I'm particularly proud of how I managed to make two holes in the hat in a manufacturable way. If you're a plushie maker, you might have some appreciation for how hard 'donut' holes are to make!

I prototyped the official Astrobot plushie from Fangamer! That was about two years ago; more recently, I had heavy involvement with the Kratos version of Astrobot. I didn't prototype this new version, but I oversaw the turnaround art and the sampling process.

For the Dead Space fan who requires plushies, you can buy the Isaac plushie I prototyped from Fangamer! He required a lot more hand sewing, gluing, and raw edges than I usually like to put into a plushie. You can read a longer writeup about his creation here: www.metroidhat.com/ridley/isaac...

I made three Wimpod plushies for the sole purpose of referencing these real giant isopods enjoying Doritos.

This is my Specter Knight prototype from Shovel Knight. You can buy him from Symbiote Studios! www.symbiotestudios.com/online-store... He was quite fiddly to make, given all the details in the armor and the exacting shape of the cape.

This is Defect from Slay the Spire. Unfortunately, this plushie got cancelled, so it's not available for purchase. Too bad; it had some neat pattern details. Like the three necks and the asymmetrical embroidery on the body that had to be carefully placed to avoid going over any seams.

Pipo is available from Fangamer! www.fangamer.com/collections/... I did the turnaround art for the plushie. But... Uh, we are very likely to sell out, like, today. We didn't expect them to be so popular! Also, Gustavo is newly released. I didn't contribute too much to him except to fix his apron.

I prototyped the Cerberus plushie that you can buy from Fangamer! He is a chonky boy by necessity, in order to fit all those heads onto his body. He has paw pads and a bum hole. Please enjoy these pictures, including in-progress pics and an earlier version where I gave him too many heads.

I prototyped the Dusa plushie from Hades! The final plushie has much shorter snakes. I only made one prototype and, expecting it to need revisions, I stupidly did not take any construction photos like I usually do. I had to go back and draw my whole wacky process to teach the factory.

Another older prototype, this is Ironclad from Slay the Spire, which used to be available via Fangamer. An earlier version of him has fur for hair, before we switched to a more sculpted look.

The Seam plushie is now available from Fangamer! I didn't fully prototype him, but I was heavily involved with the R&D to figure out his pattern. And now that he's finished, do any of you Deltarune freaks want a one-armed, one-legged, featureless Seam skin? If anyone would love to have it, DM me.

Do you own a Zelda:OoT 7-hole Ocarina replica? If so, you might have found that there are not a lot of music tabs out there. So I started transcribing my own! And there's a few other resources, like a scale and a blank music sheet for writing your own songs. Enjoy! www.metroidhat.com/Music/Ocarin...

I prototyped the plushie of Beatrix from Slime Rancher! I like the way her hair turned out. And the pants, which are always kinda weird for sitting plushies because they can't be constructed like real pants. You can still buy her via Fangamer www.fangamer.com/collections/...

Last year, to celebrate the release of Mario RPG Remake, I 'remade' my Geno plushie pattern! He's sometimes available in my Etsy store, though he's admittedly kinda expensive. He's a very laborious plushie to make! You can read about my Geno-making journey here: www.metroidhat.com/mother/genop...

Ooblets plushies are on sale now from Fangamer! www.fangamer.com/collections/... I didn't prototype these guys directly, but I was heavily involved with their patterning and manufacturing process. I detailed a lot of my involvement here: www.metroidhat.com/ridley/ooble...

I used to work at an interior design store, using expensive fabrics to sew luxurious pillows. I often kept the excess fabric+trim to make my own creations. The first 2 pics are customer orders. The last 2 I made with a devore technique on silk-rayon velvet, burning out Windfish and Kraken designs.

Once upon a time, I prototyped the Wolf from The Liar Princess and Blind Prince game. I rather like how elegantly balanced the Wolf is and how nicely the limbs rest in relation to each other. I don't believe this plushie is available for sale anymore.

If you're sending gifts to Canada, here's a few tips: There's a postal strike now! If you send via USPS, they give it to Canada Post, and it'll likely be stuck until the strike is over. Don't use Fedex! I get hit with $20-50 fees! For receiving gifts! Why?? It looks like UPS is the best option.

For SGDQ 2018, I made a Queen Metroid plushie as a donation prize! Inspired by 'Puppy Surprise', her belly opens up and has eggs inside which 'hatch' into metroids. She was a pain in the butt because she required too much hand sewing. More pics can be seen here: www.metroidhat.com/ridley/queen...

The Hollow Knight Wanderer Knight was the first mass-produced plushie I prototyped for Fangamer, back in 2017. I remember being pretty nervous and not wanting to mess it up! You can read more about the prototyping process here: www.metroidhat.com/ridley/Hollo...

Around 2019, I prototyped the official Ori plushie that was sold by Fangamer! www.fangamer.com/collections/... I always thought that the seams were rather elegant in its pattern. Sadly, Ori been sold out for a while now. Perhaps... long enough that I can now reveal some SECRETS?

I'm the prototyper and designer of the Frog Cat Hat included with the Deluxe edition of Little Kitty Big City! Unlike a lot of cheaply made, single-layered cat hats, I made my hat fuzzy and with an inner layer of batting so it'll look good when worn by any cat.

My chickens broke into my garden and are having a great time dust bathing. Fortunately, I haven't planted anything there yet. But HOW DARE!!

I prototyped the official Meemee plushie! You can buy her at Symbiote Studios. www.symbiotestudios.com/online-store...
