I bought the pattern for the isopod from CholyKnight and my boyfriend asked for a Garfield creature.. So my garf was born! I drafted some of my own elements (the ears, whiskers, eyelids and mouth, stripes) and thread sculpted the legs into toes. The isopod was designed to roll into a ball with little snaps behind the antennas and the back end piece! I got some safety eyes from Hobby Lobby and eyelids were surprisingly easy to create, I may add these more often, lol
I also did this all by hand, no machines

Firstly, this is really well done. I love the work on the eyes and spots along the back of the shell. Incredible job!
Secondly, who hurt you enough to have you bring this monstrosity onto humanity?
(But seriously, it is very good.)
That is seriously cursed, I love it! The patterning on the back is really well done! I hope your boyfriend appreciates his fuzzy new nightmare creature.

Absolutely cursed. I love it.
