The making of my Vortigaunt plush

Hi! I'm Silas and I frickin love vortigaunts. They're my favourite Half-Life alien :3

Yeah so there are vintage Vort plushies you can buy off like,,,, eBay n shit but they're all around £400-£500 and buddy. I am an unemployed college student. I cannot afford that. SO! I made my own >:3

This is Jeremy the Vort :> (Named by my Grandma BC she couldn't pronounce the word Vortigaunt) h is very silly and looks at me like a borzoi.

The Patterning:

Right off the bat, Jer is made from my own modified version of this pattern

Dragon Plushie Sewing Pattern (Jo Carter)

Click here for the pdf of this pattern. A tutorial is available here, beginning around 0:33:00 in the video.

The Face, Arms and Legs:

These were kinda tricky to make but I eventually figured it out :D (At this stage, their face will look quite scrompled lol)

Body:

Before sewing the body patten together, I attached the third arm through a slit made in the chest piece then stitched the parts together.

After stitching up the body (excluding the seam beneath the legs) and turning it the right way out, I thoroughly stuffed the head and body with an ungodly amount of cotton from college before stitching up the open seam.

i chose to shape the third arm last since it seemed, and turned out, easier.

Final Touches (Aka: Woe, Vortigaunt Be Upon Ye):

The teeth and eyes were the last thing I detailed. I just gently dabbed the eyes with red fabric paint while using an old, crusty paintbrush.

For the teeth, I stitched a freehand pattern with my sewing machine before cutting it out and sewing it under the 'mouth' seam with the teeth seam facing inwards so it was hidden.

So yea! This has been my silly little HL project I've been working on! I'm planning to make another one of my Vort, Void but for now we must wait :>

Making Michael's door for my FMP in college (the theme was Distortion lmao)

My hands are covered in yellow and I almost forgot to vote because of the door being on my mind. I'll likely post it when it's done :]
