We finally got photos of the Weighted Eudora Prototype from the manu!
I think she came out pretty well for their first pass at her. Very happy with the back stripes and her face. Her purple/green neck and tail bits need to be more subdued in color. So I will be asking for swatches to look at options. I also want to see if we can get a darker grey for the head/stripes to make them stand out a bit more. Her main grey coat and belly color are perfect though.
And obviously her front feet need a lot of work still. I be working on a revisions sheet for her soon to send them.
What do you guys think of her so far?
I will let you all know once she is up for pre-order and the cost for her!
I have added Teacup Eudora to the pre-order store from my campaign from earlier this year, she is $50. If we get to 40 orders for her, then I will charge the cards for the pre-orders.
Our discord server is the best place to keep up with the Terragryff plush development, but we will also do out best to keep our social media channels up to date as well.
57% Funded - Direct Pre-Order Poll - 50 Backers Goal!
We have a little over 24 hours left for this campaign. At the current moment, we are 57% funded, so it's not looking like we will hit our goal this time around.
I am regretting not making the first goal lower for just the Teacup sized Eudora plush. If I had, we would be funded for her.
So I was wondering if those of you who are currently backed would be interested in a direct pre-order on my website for Eudora OR a google form for pre-ordering her?(I can also add pre-orders for any of the other plush you added on that are about to go into production soon).
We need about 40 pre-orders at a $50 price to have her made.
Please either respond to this post with your thoughts or vote in in the poll. The poll will be open until tomorrow morning.
After the poll closed I will see what the consensus is and then make a google form for direct pre-orders if there seems to be enough interest. You wouldn't be invoiced until there are enough viable pre--orders via the form.

If by some miracle the campaign does fund everyone everyone will receive a secret sticker design of Eudora!
The super prototype of the Eudora weighted plush I'm making is almost finished!
I still need to add the bottoms of the front and back feet. The back feet bottoms need their toe beans sewn. And then the front feet claws will get hand sewn on once the plush is stuffed/weighted.
I also need to hand the beak and cere on her head still.
From my playing with/posing the unstuffed body, I believe this version of weighted Terragryffs will definately give the perfect floppy/cuddle I have been wanting.
These will be 3in. Wooden keychains and they are avaliable as an add-on!
-- WIP Super Prototype Photos --
I had hoped to get this plush finished in time to bring with me this weekend for photos, but my chonic illnesses said otherwise. But here is what I have finished so far.
All the major body pieces are sewn. I need to add the back stripes to the side body pieces. I still need to stuff the head and then sew on the beak and nostril area. And then feet wise I need to add toe beans to the bottoms of the back feet. And once the plush is stuffed, I will be sewing on the front claws.
Look for more updates I as work on this! I'm hoping to have her ready to show you guys by sometime on Tuesday at the latest.
This being a super prototype (meaning I made and not the manu) there will be some differences between it and the final plush from my manu. I just wanted to show you what I'm trying to get the manu to make. And hopefully we can get close to that.
-- Poll Winners --
The winner of the poll was the Lahore Pigeon and the runner up was the Frillback Pigeon. So I will be working on mockups for them as the teacup/chibi style plush and have those to show you all by Tuesday hopefully.
We are currently 47% funded and have 12 days left!
-- Poll --
Our poll only has a couple days left and its currently tied! Cast your vote and help break the tie! I will be working on the top two designs for potential Terragryff plush to unlock this week!
-- Keychain Add-Ons --
I will be adding a keychain add-on featuring various Eudora art. I will have the art mock ups ready for everyone to view soon. Keychains will be wooden and will be $15 each.
-- Backer Goal --
If we hit 50 backers I will be rewarding everyone with a secret for now freebie! Big reveal for this very soon!
-- Weighted Plush News --
While I'm still waiting on the manu to give me an update on the sample plush for the weighted version of Eudora, I'm working on my own version. I want to give you guys a better idea of what the weighted plush will look like, so I'm creating my own handmade version using a modified cholyknight plush body pattern and my Terragryff head and claw patterns.
For reference here is the Calliope I made last year (though she has an old claw style and not the new one). I'm working on modifying the body pattern a bit more to give the floppiness I want it to have and be able to sit/lay down. If you want to follow along with the plush making process join us over on the discord!
And for any who may have missed it here is the anthro Eudora I made earlier this year so you can see the fabrics I'm planning on using for this version. And what I sent the manu for color references for their version of the weighted plush.
A small, flightless gryffin breed. Roughly the size of an average house cat. They have various types of beaks, large cat-like ears, and bird claw-like front feet. Coat patterns variable, some more bird-like, others more cat-like. ---------- Want to keep up with the behind the scenes work including prototype previews for this campaign? Join our ko-fi!
