Nyhm the Purple Wyvernby *Fox7XD

just so you all know, this dragon plushie i made about 3 or even 4 years ago. i nearly forgot about him! i never posted a picture of him on DA.

if you can see the horrible stitching, thats casue Nyhm is the last plushie i made w/ a wire skeleton. that meaning his body was made from a wire frame w/ material sewn over it. i dont do these any more since one squeeze and it ruins the whole shape of the body. XP not to mention its a pain in the ass! and stupid idea non the less.

any who, this dragon took about 9 hours to make [i remember that XD ] from his nose to tail, its 20 inches long, w/ a 16 inch wingspan. the tail alone is a foot long, that way you can wrap his tail around your neck and have him sit on your shoulder.

how do you use wire in the plushies? in the parts needed or throuought the whol think like a skeleton?

well, this dragon is different from what I usually do because the body is made of a wire frame with fabric sewn around it [not a good idea]

but for others like the plushies I did for the AatR entry, they have almost a whole skeleton, but just wire in the arms and legs. It's easier to just put wire in parts you want to bend, such as tails, limbs, wings, ect.
