Chubby Cheeks and Butts

So, even though I've been away from my blog for over six months, I have actually been productive. Not only with my school, but also with my crochet. Seriously, it was a crazy semester in terms of crocheting, writing, animating and drawing. 



Why was I so busy crocheting? Because I decided to have a table during a Con my college hosted called CogsCog. That photo above was all the items I made. I've never attended an event like this or sold my crochet pieces in public. It was an experience. 


I actually decided to have a table around the time of my last "real" post back in January.  Though I knew the event would be intimate, I still needed a stockpile of cuties to sell. So I started crocheting my little heart out between writing a 20 page research paper, several animation projects and plenty of drawing exercises. I whipped up several Takochus and Jellyfish, Slender-chans and Pikachus. After a Christmas rush last year where I had to crochet twenty Slendermen and Slender-chans for my etsy store in one week, finals week at that, I knew this would be easy-peasy. I plan to do it again next year, and my brother says I should do Fanime too. Now that would be daunting.




               My humble little table later in the day at CogsCon~





I also felt that I needed to come up with something different for the Con, so I made a Chubby Pikachu. I'm really into  chubby things right now because they are extra cute to me. I just want to cuddle chubby things. So I made this Pikachu. The picture does not do his chubby butt justice. 


So, I like that body type, but after the Con, I wanted to try something different then my usual body types and structures. I wanted something more complicated, so I made a Pikachu with little arms and legs. I also decided to change the heads as well and gave my Pikachu the cutest chubby cheeks. 



 I love this body type so much. It's so versatile and adorable. It appeals to me with the big head, small body and oversized ears and tail. I went on to make a tailless Squirtle and a Gothita.




 I sent the Squirtle to my little sister since she has a new-found love for my favourite starter. 

Also during all of this, Bioshock Infinite came out, and I became sucked into the Bioshock franchise. I like it as much as I like Pokemon, and Pokemon is in my top 3 games. I played through 1 and fell in love with 2. So many feels :0 I couldn't contain myself and had to create a Big Sister, since I've seen a few Big Daddies and Little Sisters crochets around. 



 I made her before the body change, so I want to remake her (or just her body) with the new body. I think she'd be much cuter~

There was a Snorlax, and you can see him in the first picture. I made him with the chubby butt and I only made one. He was for the Cogscon raffle. 

What am I working on know? This awesome Icee drawstring bag created by Twinkie Chan. I'll update you all when I finish that baby~

Kiss kiss~







Oh, hey! I have a Blog!

Yeah, it's been a long while since I've posted. I decided I needed to refocus the blog, so I have updated the name and URL...again. I want this blog to have a primary focus on my crochet, so I wanted to rebrand it back to me since the last title was too much like a crochet book I own. So I'm back and ready to update~

Kiss kiss~
