Completed commission for =KingdomHeartsPyro.

I don't really know anything about Death Note at all (I've seen the first two live action films, but that's it), so this was rather interesting to do, LOL.

I also realised after I took the photos that I forgot to put his goggles on. But since the lighting is so poor today, I was only able to get one new shot. So, you can at least see the goggles in one of the details, even though he doesn't have them in the full shots. He doesn't look quite right without them!

On the plus side, I have a goggle pattern to use when I make Vexen, now! :D :D :D Now those pretty green eyes can be properly protected both from the nasty chemicals of the lab, and from cumshots when Xigbar gets a little overexcited.

The vest was also kinda fun, actually, with all the fluffy trim. The biggest pain was the hair, which is done almost entirely in individual pieces. TAT I was originally going to do the red and black shirt, but decided on the white version because his hair was going to be maroon as well, and it would just be too much.


Matt stands roughly 15" tall and is constructed from a mix of fleece, felt, faux fur, denim, and apparel grade PVC.

This is absolutely adorable. <3

--Sorry I haven't gotten back to you about the commissions I approached you about a few months ago. My vexen and I broke up, but I'd still like to get a Vexen plushie for myself. <33

Awww! He is absolutely adorable! I LOVE the color you used for his hair, and his vest looks so soft and furry! You even put the lines on his jeans! His eyes look really good as well. X3

Aww, thank you! :3 I was so relieved to be able to find the maroon fleece so easily, and the vest really is soft. I had a lot of trouble keeping my cat, a.k.a. the quality control expert, from wanting to nap on it, LOL. (Fortunately I found the perfect faux fur for it, because my other alternative would have been rabbit fur or something - and she would try to EAT that.)

I'm not entirely happy with the jeans, because I wanted to actually do seams in all of those places. However, after trying, I could NOT get them to iron flat again, so decorative stitching was my next best bet. :\

You're very welcome! I have a ton of respect for anyone who can make plushies. (I'm not very gifted in that department haha!)

You may not have been able to get the jeans to iron flat, but I think the fact that they're NOT flat makes it more realistic to the character. :3 Matt's jeans are kinda loose, so it works! And the lines just pull it all together!

Well, flat as in the little sections were kinda ballooning up. They ended up looking funny, like he was wearing a little down-filled parka on his legs! (Matt, he be pimpin', yo. Or something.)

I did cut them on the loose side, and I'm glad that the lines work as they are. ^^
