ALL RIGHT It's decided. October put me in a Gravity Falls mood and I've wanted to make merch with Bill for a while now

SEVERAL times I have tried to make this charm and EVERY time it came back from the printer with defects (and I am too shy to ask to fix them)

I'm sure if I ever had a merch table I could sell them in a discount bin no problem but they didn't really seem worth putting up as a b-grade listing online

ah but the POINT IS

This sucker is overdue to be merchified in some capacity and I think locking Bill into a clothe plush prison is the perfect revenge for being so rude as to curse every project I use him for

In Bipper form he's also the perfect type of template to make a doll for: unique enough to have recognizeable features but not too complex of hair or body type

And if I can master a good build of him I can use it for a baseline to create more character varieties

Oh how many varieties I wish to create...

I have several drafts for plushies I have begun already--! back when I was using a cheap fabric. They all failed because they were not suited to the way I was trying to shape it and I was too inexperienced to diagnose the exact issue. While I now have better fabric, I think starting fresh with a design I haven't tried anything with yet will do me good

Just like my former Undertale project, I'll be less picky if I have no frame of reference to compare to.

So that's what we're gonna do!

I'm gonna get to drafting and pull out all my pattern research. I have so much of it saved and just been waiting for the right moment to put it to use!

I'll see you all on the flipside~
