"i'll preface by saying i had some oral surgery this week, so trying to
craft while under the influence of painkillers was PROBABLY not my
brightest idea.
after i tackled garrus i put legion on the back burner, afraid of the
massive undertaking he would be. i've been sketching out ideas for
awhile, but the positive feedback i've received on my plushies these
last few weeks finally gave me the motivation to get things going.
one
little thing i was proud of but doesn't really show well in the photo: i
drew on the grey arm fabric to create the 'sinewy' look of legion's
arms.
i knew i didn't want to put a hole clean through the plush
(even though it would've been more accurate), so i made a heart-shaped
hole in his armor. i experimented with bits of fabric, yarn, pipe
cleaners, craft foam to create the exposed wires on his chest, but i
wanted something a little more "cutesy", so i settled on the rhinestone
lines.
"after playing mass effect 3, drunk tali won my heart. <3 she's always
been my favorite mass effect female, but she's so god damn adorable in
ME3 i can't handle it."
"i don't have proper lighting for plushie picture taking, so there are
some things not coming across well in the image (like the hours i spent
shading his "crest" or the layers of the armor.) i suppose a camera is
on my list of things to acquire, after a sewing machine!"
