Okay, both Bubble Bobble pillows are spoken for. As always, if you see anything you want or have another idea, more can be made.

Sorry for the delay - I was out of town all day for work.

As Promised...

YoGaBaR · « **Reply #47 on:** April 08, 2009, 09:38:14 pm »

Thats not bad.
How much for the dino?

shardian · « **Reply #48 on:** April 08, 2009, 10:42:35 pm »

Well here's the thing about this guy. He's for sale - but not until she makes a bub. She has to use this one for reference to make an official pattern. Personally, I think it's pretty amazing she can make something like this without any pattern, and just a low res snap shot as a reference!

Price will be $40+shipping

Very cool, nice work. That could turn into a pretty good side business....good luck

shardian · « **Reply #53 on:** April 30, 2009, 10:25:49 pm »

We just might have a few bubble bobble plushes available. 2 of them are spoken for. The rest are up for grabs.

shardian · « **Reply #54 on:** May 11, 2009, 02:23:23 pm »

Left and center blue Bob's are still available. Others are sold.

$40 + shipping each.

shardian · « **Reply #55 on:** May 19, 2009, 10:00:03 pm »

First Q*Bert guy done. He is a small one, and is more of a proof of concept before making a large guy. He is around 4-5" as he stands in the picture.

A guy this little would be $15. + shipping. There will also be a medium fellow that will be 2" or so bigger, and then a large fellow relative in size to the Bubble Bobble guys.

Q*Bert is so....odd! The wife finished him and said "What IS this thing? I need to play the game more to understand...".

Picture linking is dead, so here are photobucket pics. click photo for larger view.

shardian · « **Reply #56 on:** May 27, 2009, 10:30:43 pm »

Okay, here are the 1st 2 q*berts. As you can see, the new one has shorter, stockier legs that match the game better. It takes some posing, but both do indeed stand on their own as shown.

So do you guys think this one is satisfactory, or does it need any more improvements? Any constructive advice/criticism is appreciated.

ken_cinder · « **Reply #57 on:** May 28, 2009, 12:42:01 am »

#1 with the longer/bent legs looks right, the second one not so much.

shardian · « **Reply #58 on:** May 28, 2009, 09:01:45 am »

heh, everyone over at KLOV did not like the first one at all.

ken_cinder · « **Reply #59 on:** May 28, 2009, 03:58:06 pm »

Odd considering Qbert doesn't have stumpy little straight legs. Meh

They are bendable/poseable.

shardian how hard would it be for her to do a Raccoon Mario blanket? I'm talking about a big Mario too. I'd go like a hundred bucks easy.

It's a matter of proportion. The second one isn't PERFECT, but it's close enough. The first one looks like those weirdo bumbies you put on the end of pencils. And if you look closely in the game, Q-bert's legs don't flex. They are STRAIGHT. And pretty thin. It's the eyes bobbing up and down that gives the illusion of jumping.

I don't think we'll be doing a blanket any time soon. Blankets just take way too long. To put it in perspective, making a typical 5x8 blanket would be like making 20 pillows! Something in the range of 3'x4' though would be do-able for around $120. a 3x4 blanket is pretty worthless for anything but a baby blanket though.

shardian · « **Reply #64 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:28:39 am »

Here is revision #3 of Qbert. As you can see, his nose and feet have been revised. Also, the eyes were integrated into the pattern, so they are flat now. Another eye option that some may like would be 'googly eyes'. You know, the sewn on plastic eyes in which the pupil can shake around in there. Those would be pretty cool.

The first 2 little guys on the left are up for clearance offers. $5 + shipping for the little guy, and $10 + shipping for the middle guy. Either can be put in a padded envelope for cheaper shipping. They'll get a little smushed in the process though, and you have to fluff them back up.

shardian · « **Reply #65 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:28:58 am »

Price for final revision is $30 +shipping.

How much for a Pikachu pillow shipped to the UK, using the sprite from Pokemon Red, Blue or Yellow (you decide which, you can compare them here)? I know it's not arcade-related, but it would mean a lot to my friend. Maybe with a 'H' or 'Holly' on it somewhere.

Many thanks

shardian · « **Reply #67 on:** August 03, 2009, 02:33:43 pm »

Time for a bump I suppose. We decided to take a break from the crochet stuff for a while. I did some of my gameroom projects, the wife did some of her sewing projects. Now it is time to get back to work!

Currently, we are trying to knock out the galaga ship blanket that has been hanging around since we started this. After that, we have a few queued projects to do. After thaaaaat, we would like to come up with a coily plush to go with Qbert. In the meantime, we have some finished stock ready for new homes:

There are 2 plush blue "Bob" dolls left. If you prefer a set, she can make a matching green Bub to go with it.
There are some Berzerk pillows left
There are 2 Galaga bug pillows. A matching ship can easily be made to go with these. They would also go great with the blanket being made.

I think there might be a pacman ghost pillow or two in the pile also.

If you have previously contacted me about a custom job, I probably remember and will be contacting you shortly - if not already. If I miss you while going through old PM's feel free to remind me.

Here is the latest project for byoac member Somunny. It was quite an interesting request, and turned out wonderfully. If anyone has any other systems they'd be interested in doing, my wife is more than open to requests. I might have her make an NES one for myself.

Without further ado, I present pics.

Mario?

We're at a point where custom requested projects can/will keep us busy. I think current examples/feedback more than show the quality level to be expected, and what any project would look like. As such, I don't see random stuff being made in the near future. If there is something you seriously would want made for yourself, feel free to make an official order.

shardian · « **Reply #76 on:** September 09, 2009, 12:02:03 pm »

Newest project: Gorf plush

His feet had to be made larger to allow him to stand up on his own. A good breeze will still send the 'angry Hershey Kiss' toppling over. My wife coined the angry hershey kiss phrase while making him, because she had no clue what a Gorf was. I myself never understood how a cool robot transformed into the on-screen representation, so I couldn't explain it any better.

Anyways, Mr. Gorf dude is $35 + shipping.

My wife's work got popped in Gameroom magazine this month. Pretty darn cool! Consequently, I had to rush and update our Etsy account with stuff to buy. These are projects that are done and ready to ship out:

I'll have a few more new pillow projects to post this weekend.

New project: Classic arcade pillow set.

This was a hard one for me to embrace. I'm kind of anal about symmetry, so I like every pattern to be an even square - 32x32 or something like that. The Mario and Centipede designs just wouldn't allow it to be that way without making huge pillows. So, I tricked my anal side - there is one square, one tall, and one long, and they all go together. Sounds like balance to me!

As always, if anyone is interested in one of these new designs we can always make more.
