Cyrus Plushie- Pokemon

A handmade plush of Cyrus, the evil leader of Team Galactic. One of the spookiest of the Pokémon evil bosses, I tried to capture the vacant expression in the illustration of the face. I enjoyed the first half hour doing the hair, but after that it really became monotonous. Each hair spike was a small, individual weft, which I had to glue in a spiral pattern onto the head. Although it took for ever, I feel like it worked out in the end though!

THE HAIR:
Online I got the idea of how to make hair from yarn, but I refined the process so I could get the hair to look the way I needed it. I have a process that allows me to create individual wefts of yarn hair that I glue to the head. The hair has some movement, but stays in the general shape I make it in, so it is still pretty soft.
