Heartless pattern - at long last!

[rallamajoop]

Way back when we posted our first pics of our homemade Heartless with the glowing eyes, we promised everyone we'd put together a pattern for it for anyone who wanted to have a go at making their own. Well, it may have taken us... shall we say, a bit more time than we'd planned - but at long last, the pattern is finally up.

So, without further ado:

The pattern (hosted over at deviantart) - It's been uploaded as a zip file, click the "Download" link in the left menu to get to it.

The instructions remain largely untested so far, so if there's anything unclear, feel free to send us questions, and we'll see what we can do to clarify things. Same thing goes if anyone has any advice of their own, such as places where people can track down some of those trickier materials (*cough*wire*cough*).

We took a bunch of other random photos when we took the Christmas pics (because there's never any end to the fun you can have with a posable Heartless). Lisa felt she'd posted about enough pics of the Heartless lately though, so clearly it was up to me to share the rest of them. Apologies to anyone on slow connections, this post becomes a little image heavy from here on.


Even Heartless get to relax sometimes.


Gotta love the fact this thing can even hold up its own weight.


'You people done photographing me yet?'


Arms crossed, legs crossed, antennae crossed!


Loooom


Aw... for me?


And back to relaxing some more.


Just to finish, a couple of photos from Waicon, featuring the ever-fantastic k_chan009 as Sora.


Heartless was barely visible against the background, unfortunately, but at least you can see those glowing eyes.


And one more, just so you can see them both clearly.

(Honestly, we did not get nearly enough photos of the KH group with this little guy at the con. We've definitely got to find a chance to remedy this in future.)

Whoa, and here I thought they only came individually packaged. XD I can see I'm not running out of internets over here any time soon.

That's what they WANT you to think! XD
Nope I don't think so~ XD

I am definitely going to have to make my own shadow heartless. So cute!

Your heartless plushie is adorable and so well done! I can tell you had a lot of fun making him.

So~after being impressed with him and looking at all his pictures I went to your DA and browsed. I think your artwork is beautiful, you have a very creative mind! Your other plushies are cute too. You made a fizzgig, and that makes you awesome~ as a fellow artist, plushie maker, and traveler to nippon, mind if I friend you?

Thanks, but while I haven't said much about it in this post, the Heartless was actually a joint project. I did the electrical wiring, but my sister did the sewing, and that DA account and all that wonderful art belongs to her, not me.

He is so cute!
I started working on the plushie, and I wanted to say that you did a terrific job on the pattern. It's very easy to follow.
^_^

That's good to know. My sister did most of the actual work on the instructions (I just did the section on the electronics and some editting for clarity once she was done), but thanks, I'll pass that on. ^_^

All of that work is very appreciated, trust me. I'm a pretty ok seamtress, but I haven't quite gotten the hang of working out things like this.
If you have the capabilities, I would say that one or both of you should definetly make more things like this.
