It seems so rare that I do something not-video-game-related, lol.

I give you Steve McGarrett from the new Hawaii Five-O! I admit I don't watch the show, but staring at reference pictures of this fellow for a week wasn't exactly torture. ;) Fairly simple plushie but I like how the few little details seemed to nail the character, like the half-tucked shirt and the bits of gray hair on the sides. :D

12" tall, fleece and knit materials with foam sheet badge and gun. Face was hand-painted with fabric paint.

I'm so jealous of your ability to make hair. O.o Are your patterns a secret?

Not at all, just hard to explain, hehe. I'm still learning, myself. Here's a good place to start though: [link] Her tutorial is great.

I've made a couple of plushies, but they all took me a while, and none of them looked as good as this.

Oh believe me, my first ones didn't look at all like this, haha. Practice always helps!

I've collected some helpful tutorials in my favorites section. Beyond that...hmm, let's see. Fleece is a great material, it hides a multitude of sins. Don't be afraid to try things, and don't be afraid to make mistakes! You can learn a lot from screwing up. :)

Felt is great, especially if you're hand-sewing. The stretchiness in fleece can be a lifesaver, though.
