Plush commission - Porcupine fish

Aside from doing Pokémon related stuff lately, I've been working on and off on this custom commission. He's a Black-blotched Porcupine fish and measures about 21 cm/ 8½" from from the tip of his nose to the end of his fin. This has been a fun and interesting project to work on. The markings and fins gave me the opportunity to really explore and utilize the possibilities the embroidery machine I got for my 30th birthday has to offer. It has also been a taxing plush with more than 100 work hours behind it, as many of the of the embroidered parts had to be assembled by hand and they were really though material to sew in. I had to use pliers multiple times, just to push/pull the needle through. xD Ah, and I also discovered Organza fabric, which has been ideal for the fins with it's transparent, yet stiff qualities. And liquid stitch, which has been a total life saver for the delicate fins, as they would never have survived the essembly, if it hadn't been for it, securing the edges and keeping them from fraying. If you're into plushing and working with delicate fabrics, I really recommend this product (Dritz Fray Check Liquid Seam Sealant ).

Materials:
Faux suede, Organza, looooots of thread, plastic safety eyes and polyester filling
