thanks, everyone! Benny is a new design that I've been playing with for the last month or so. I wanted kind of a mashup of realistic and teddy bear, leaving out all the time-consuming armature but retaining the sculptural body shape I've working on the past year or so :hug:

bear_wub That actual bear face says it all. That glare in the eyes, what a fabulous bear as usual kelly. I am sure he will not stay on Etsy for long.
Thanx for sharing

Benny is just wonderful. I love the way you did his body. His arms and legs fit so perfectly and don't have the big humps so many have at the joint. Great job!

thanks, everyone! I was playing around last night and noticed Benny is very close is size to some of my older character bears, so I tried making him an outfit just to see if some of my clothing patterns would work - to my great surprise, I didn't have to do much adjusting at all
