I love making custom bears. LOVE it.
This bear was particularly special: she's my first-ever Halloween Horror Nights character! I can't do HHN in person due to my PTSD (short version: I am very likely to punch a scare actor in the throat, and no one wants that), but I enjoy watching walkthroughs and reading the lore, so this was a particular treat.
The character is Saskia van Helsing from the 2024 Eternal Bloodlines house in Hollywood and Orlando:
Saskia is the last descendant of Abraham van Helsing, and in her house, she teams up with the Bride of Frankenstein (aka Eve) to fight Dracula's daughter Marya and the She-Wolf of London. That's right, it's an all-female monster fest.
The night does not go well for Saskia, but a little thing like decapitation doesn't stop a fandom and Eve is a dab hand with a needle, so the brief on this bear was "Saskia, after Eve finished her work". Her outfit is a blend of the Orlando and Hollywood costumes, with the addition of Eve's stitching around her neck. Her human specifically requested a non-smiley face, so I think she's got a bit of a Rilakkuma-meets-Grumpy-Cst vibe.
She's a ragdoll bear, so she can sit or stand as she likes.
And of course there's a back vent in her coat so her tail can wiggle freely. (It's hiding in this shot, but it matches her hair.)
And yes, as always, I will bearify almost any blorbo upon request.
