So!! For the past couple of months, I have been working on a plushie of Assok, from @modmad's wonderful webcomic The Property of Hate :D
I hadn't used felt to make a plush since I was a kid, and this project took a lot of work, time and efforts, but I'm extremely proud of how it turned out. Very much a labour of love :'>
Special shout-out to @sharoo, who crocheted the little Assok sock on the trunk for me!
I started it around mid-April and we're almost mid-July, so this project took just about three months to complete– although most of the last one was spent waiting for the little crochet Assok to arrive, augh. The package spent 25 days in transit why.
The pattern was made by Voynart on etsy, though I altered it quite a bit to make it resemble Assok more.
Process and WIP pictures below the cut!
After modifying the pattern I had bought I made two rounds of testing (one with just the paper pieces and another out of cheap felt) to check if it all fit together okay! This took two weeks iirc? I only had a limited amount of wool felt and I wanted to make the plushie as big as possible, so I didn't have a lot of room for errors once I got going
The head! (plus one of the paws, I was testing appliqué stitches)
I made it first, because it was the most important part and I wanted to make sure I got it right
The body! I made all the paws different because they're not always the same colour in the webcomic (check pages 619, 620 and 637, for example!); likewise, I didn't use exactly the same thread colour on both sides of the body. I really enjoyed the fact that you can embrace visible stitches when working with felt, it's not something I did with my previous plushies :>
Fun fact: as I was sewing on the dark purple pieces on Assokaphant’s front legs, I had to use pliers to force the needle through both pieces of felt plus stuffing, and I managed to break the needle fdshgfds
BUT THEN I ran into A Problem: sock too big for they trunk. Of course I could've put it in the washing machine until it shrank, but, you know, I was afraid it would take a while...
THANKFULLY Sharoo came to my rescue and made a perfectly-sized Assok for me!! It's adorable aaa I'm so glad. Couldn't have done it myself, truly the cherry on top
quuiiiick question has anyone dealt with this scam before
It's real similar to a scam on discord about improper reporting but like. I just wanna check because I have no reason to have multiple problems with being reported
ALSO I DON'T THINK THAT ACCOUNT IS A SCAMMER I THINK THEY GOT HACKED. THEY ARE AN ACTUAL ARTIST AND A REAL GOOD ONE AT THAT
Update: They blocked me ;O; I hope mosquit0 can get their blog back cuz brooo they make such good art
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I know full well this/my works won't be as popular as they were before all the controversy, which I am fine with. I am sharing fanworks about Sebastian for anyone who remains, not for clicks.
