DEV>Journey - Traveller Plush

[RSS-feed]

Ahhh, Journey - - one of those high-concept games with breathtaking art, a simple premise - - and, while short to finish, sticks with you years after. So, it's no wonder I added the Traveller to my To-Do list for plush projects! I started this in March, thinking it would be a 2-week project, but it turned into a 4-month Journey, as it were Lots of lessons learned, mostly that I need to learn how to silk screen LOL. I def need a break from paint stencils for a while!

These are soft body plush, without an armature inside; they've been pinned and posed for the photos. But, feel free to add wire if you'd like your Traveller posable (pattern coming soon). I tried to stick with the original model as closely as possible, in terms of the body shape (it's shaped, not just a rectangle), legs (with knees, calves, etc.), and visible textures (linen). This allows the plush to take very similar poses from the game, eg. jumping, standing, and can be sewn permanently into the Seiza (seated) pose. The scarf & robe are single pieces of fabric with painted details, so they have just enough body to not fray or look cheap, while also being able to still move & flow like fabric should. As a bonus & happy accident, the paint seals & retains any fray at the raw edge - totally in-line with the Traveller's design I had a blast working on this piece, and hope you all enjoy it as well! 

Size is ~14.5inT x 9inW (robe width) x 3inW (body & shoulder width).
