Pocket God Pygmies!!

It has been a long while before I was able to make a post about these awesome guys, but the time has finally come! Over the past few months I have been working directly with Bolt Creative, the creators of the iPhone game Pocket God, to create some plush Pygmies from their game! They commissioned me to create some basic Pygmies with various faces, a Pygmy struck by lightning, a Pygmy being eaten by ants, and a Pygmy on fire! They Turned out pretty sweet :D
The guys at Bolt Creative loved the Pygmies so much they commissioned me to make even more! The second batch turned out even better than the first because I was able to refine the pattern and make it easier to sew together and give it a more professional quality to it. They also had me make a zombie Pygmy!!! Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of the zombie one (which I personally think is my favorite), but as soon as I have a pic I will post it.
I learned a TON from making these guys and have gained a lot of confidence in my pattern creation for plush toys. These Pygmies were a real challenge but also a TON of fun to make.
The creators of Pocket God will be displaying these plushies this year at Comic Con and will also be signing posters! Check out their blog post to find out the times they will be there. Go check them out if you are visiting the Con! I will probably stop by one day to see them as well :)
Stay tuned into my Etsy shop over the next few months for Pygmies! I should be creating some for sale soon :)

You are amazing and a huge inspiration to a fellow plushie maker!
