Raccoonwolfby *Magweno

Artisan Crafts / Dolls, Plushies & Custom Toys / Original Artist Dolls

This was a doll for the same commissioner who ordered Haku. She wanted a wolf crossed with a raccoon and sent a few sketches but it was a pretty open design nonetheless.

I'm not a fan of wolves, when my requests were open I got asked to make them a lot, but I actually found I quite enjoyed sculpting this little guy

I had fun drawing them too when I was trying to get the face too, big grumpy knobbly wolves, with broken snouts and tiny eyes. But he ended up being quite sweet!

---

I make my dolls entirely from scratch, staring with a wire armature held together with epoxy putty. I then sculpt the fimo details on and bake the whole thing. Once it's out of the oven I wrap it in quilt batting then measure a pattern and cut the fur. The fur is hand sewn using a ladder stitch to hide the seams, then brushed and painted with dylon fabric paints. Any details are glued on (like feathers or more fur), the fimo painted with acrylics and finally covered in a matt varnish to protect the paint, or gloss varnish on nails, eyes and scales/beaks.

If you would like to commission me the prices are:
£50 without wings
£70 with wings
£90 for extra large or complex designs
I do character designs and custom creatures - ie if you don't have a design I can take three of your favourite animals and make you a doll from them. Please send any commission enquiries by note!

I love him! The colors are really nice and clearly show that he's a wolf/raccoon mix! He fits in with his surroundings wonderfully! One day I shall commission you for one!

I'm glad you think so, I wasn;t sure about the mask but I was just going by the sketch I was sent ^_^
