Tauren Shaman / Minotaur Plushie!

[ahsavka]

Meet Proudhorn, a World of Warcraft tauren shaman!

Here he is!  He's based off my boyfriend's lowbie shaman (Stonemaul server) of the same name, and he was my first summer project ... I just found crafster, and I wanted to share a few of my projects with you guys.  He's definitely my best toy to date.  He's about American Girl-doll sized (image for scale here), and made of a rather furry fleece with vinyl for his hooves/horns.  His hair/beard/tail were put in one at a time, and are just black yarn.  He's entirely hand-sewn, and his gorgeous eyes are Van Dyke's glass (for taxidermy, usually XD).  They can be kinda pricey, but man, they're so pretty.




From behind ...



 
I spent as much time on Proudhorn's gear as the model himself... his clothes are pretty normal, but the vinyl-and-wood mace (it's playsafe!) and wooden shield were a little trickier.  Superglue goes a long way.




And there he is, all decked out.   I made the pattern for everything you see here.  (The mace was probably the hardest, but the most fun to play with now.  XD)

Thanks for looking!

Amazing, Awesome, the neatest thing I've seen in a really long time! WOW! Great Job! Your first post and I already had to   hit "This Rocks!" Welcome, I can't wait to see more from you!

This is so amazing!
My Boyfriend loves WoW... I play it as well.  I really want to make something like this!
You are so talented!!

Thats so intense!!!
I never play WoW, but I am a big nerd-o, so I can appreciate something like this (from a nerd-o standpoint...)
He even has accesories!!! You rock.

This rocks, definately!

I love WoW, as does my boyfriend.  I have been debating making a plusie based on one of ours characters for a while now but have never quite gotten around to it.  Though seeing your attempt it has re-inspired me to put more thought into it!

I was also thinking about starting a WoW based quilt top, for my boyfriends bed, though that will take quite considerably more work, but if I have a fair amount of free time in the future you never know!

Anyway, keep up the good work and I would love to see some of your other creations.

Holy freaking moley, that is amazing!!!!!!!

That's bloody awesome. I think I'd get distracted at the paper modelling point and end up starting another project o_O You should start up an etsy shop, or other online shop of the sort.. or sign a contract with blizzard or something. Fom the response you've gotten here already you'd definitely make a killing. My boyfriend, two room mates and other good friends play WoW. (I'm too poor to ;] )

So gorgeous! I'm amazed by the pattern, and thanks for sharing the technique you use- I definately have to try that out sometime.
