Susan is the lady that I made this guy for, and she is the lady who gave me the name 'Lugly', meaning lovely and ugly bear_original I took him 'round to her last Wednesday, because she was doing my hair for me... and I haven't posted since then because I walked out with pink hair :P

Anyhoo, Boar (so called because her new shiny harley is 'the Hog') is the same size as original Sloth Poke (papoose sized, I think we decided bear_happy ) and was all beige until I attacked him with marker pens. I tried a new technique to lessen the amount of roving I had to use, but I'm not sure I like the effect. Susan seemed quite pleased though! My next task is to make him a Harley Jacket: apparently he's going to Holland with her on the back of her bike in a few weeks time XD

I hope you like him bear_original

:clap: Wow!!! He's going to truly show off his name then, if he gets to ride about on a Harley. I think I'd be worried if one of mine was going to be going out and about on a roadtrip, (okay, I know I'd be freaking! bear_sad )but at least you'll find out how durable he is bear_flower

You've done a fantastic job getting his face and claws, and well everything 'just so'!

Thanks Debbie :D

In actual fact, I gave him to Susan as a 'test subject' (without wanting to sound cruel!) because then I have someone close to hand who can let me know if anything about them is less durable than I hope, and then I can also make attempts at fixing problems... I didn't factor in the road trips though :crackup:
