This semester I had several friends who were defending their thesis projects. I decided to make a plush for everyone based off of characters or creatures in their thesis and give them to them as presents after their defenses. And we called it Theaster (thesis + easter)
This one is from @jelli-illus ‘s thesis comic Slice of Life -- a comic about a college student who becomes a part-time grim reaper. He’s actually the main character’s future dog companion Graham Cracker. Go check out her art!
I used my friend’s art as references to design all of the patterns for these plushies, all credit for character design for Graham Cracker goes to @jelli-illus.
Graham Cracker is made of smooth and nubby minky, and faux suede. He is filled with silky soft polyfil stuffing and polypellets. His reaper cloak is made out of black velour with cotton lining and his scythe is felt, with a magnet in it that can attach to the magnet in Graham Cracker’s mouth.
