I finished Rosy Maple Moth Fox and White Honduras Bat Fox's ref. I'll be sending them to Tina shortly! I went with a black nose instead of pink. I don't want the pinks to clash and I really like the realistic plastic nose. I wish my manu could source one in Pink! we even reached out to custom nose manufacturers, but the ones who could potentially do it have an MOQ of 10,000 pieces. The only other thing that might be a problem with this design is the yellow going around the neck. My Plush don't really have a neck, lol. So we'll see how it works and adjust as needed :) This will be the eye I'm using! The green one next to the eye I circled is Luna Moths eye. They are SO gorgeous and magical in the light
I'm super excited for this one! I really want this yellow plastic nose I found! I think it will be the right size and work, but we'll see. MOQ is 1,000 pieces, but I'll pay for that and let Tina keep the extra, lol. I originally wanted to try the nose upside down because the Honduras bat has a nose shaped like that! But it just looked wrong, haha. So right side up it is!
Also here's Bat Fox updated from Tina. The designer barely changed the mouth, BUT I kind of love it? I looked up fruit bats and they kind of have a silly mouth and face like that so I think I'll keep him as is, but I'll know better when I get him in person. I am worried about his side view, it looks like he has an overbite... I LOVE his new orange eyes though! And here's a close up of his eyes I chose. I want to use all these eyes, so pretty!
Peacock designs! I STRUGGLED. These were the best I came up with. This design would have 3 tails. Not sure how well it would work sewing them all on! But it's neat. She'll be in the polls! If she doesn't make it into the finals I would throw her in with my future Kitsune designs I want to do still :)
And another new bird design several people suggested who will be in the poll. And here are all the other bird designs suggested to bring back! Last call for any I may have missed! These will go in the poll along with the 2 peacock variations and woodpecker
And last, but not least, fennec fox mockup! This will also be a small 12" plush. I went with the Topaz-Spotted Blue butterfly (Azanus jesous) since they can be found in the same desert region of Africa. Plus purple and and sandy brown look SO good together. The underside of the wings will be mostly tan and brown patterned. I want fur in the ears, but not sure how well it will work so might change my mind later. The muzzle may be too small to include the dark stripe, but we shall see! The pattern is the same as my other fox plush, ears have obviously been enlarged and eyes are bigger proportionately too! The wings are roughly sketched and will be cleaned up, I just wanted to share the design now with everyone so it's all in one post!
A lot of people suggested dragon fox which I think would be such a cool idea! But I'm going to save it for a future campaign and take my time working on the concept art. I also did a cross fox and silver fox for fun. They will also be saved for a different campaign. I do want to do a monarch butterfly still! And a blue morpho at some point too. There are just too many amazing ideas ❤️
Oops, I also forgot! A small coyote pigeon will be in the polls too! Should I make it a pigeon fox? Or try and make it a small coyote pigeon, same colors, patterns, maybe ears a bit bigger?
