Making A 4 Foot Long Plush of Aki the Dragon Pandeena

Aki is an original character belonging to my client and designed by Madshy Arts. He is a dragon pandeena, which is a noodle dragon/panda/hyena mix! I developed a new floppy quadruped pattern for him, and I'm so pleased with how he came out. At 4 feet long, he's the biggest plush I've ever made!

There was no light grey minky in existence, so I had to dye it myself. He also comes with a little koi fish friend, which he can hold with magnets!

The fish pattern was made by neon-juma on DA!

You can see all the finished details of him in his Showcase video, which is linked in the end screen!

Curious about the little cat plush? That's my mascot, Shifty! This tiny plush was made with a modified version of teacuplion's corgi ITH pattern:
