In January of this year, the 1998 Danish cover of @meganwhalenturner ’s The Thief was shared in the Geninsula (a discord for Queen’s Thief fans).
We were in turns delighted, horrified, and amused by the design choices made here, but what really stuck out to us what what appeared to be a classic robber’s mask around Gen’s neck. He’s The Thief, you guys. In case you weren’t sure.
Anyway, Danish Raccoon Gen fascinated us and the talented @sassaffrassa drew us a “terrible emoji face” of him:
I love him, your honor.
So, I did what any self-respecting crafter would do, and made an amigurumi version of him. I really struggled with the eyes until I realized what the only possible solution could be:
It’s pretty hard to sneak around with googly eyes, you know. It’s a good thing Gen hasn’t offended the gods.
(I’ve been working on Helen and Irene off and on since then, and I think I’ve finally figured out how I want Irene’s hair so she’ll probably be finished next.)
