Novalis Plushie (Contest Prize)

Update: to answer the many questions about the "feel" of the airbrushed areas, mostly it is still nice, smooth and soft.  The extremely light blue/cyan at some ends required additional layers so are slightly rougher to touch, but still soft (I reckon I could create the same effect with less layers next time ^^").

OMG!  AT LOOOOOOOOOONG LAST!  Novalis is FINALLY COMPLETE!  ^^ 

Novalis is the "Design-An-OC-For-Me" contest winner 's prize! 

He's such an epic OC and I'm so happy and honoured I got to plush him for .  He was very airbrush intensive and taught me a lot about airbrushing light colours on dark fabrics.  I used shannon midnight blue for his hair and shannon navy for his body - so everything else you see on him has been airbrushed on.  I would also like to credit my wonderful husband who helped me develop the technique of airbrushing light on dark/support/clean up process etc

His armour is fully removable via snap fasteners

Novalis was definitely a lot of work, but he was sooooo worth it!  He's such an eye candy to look at ^.^ and I've learnt so much from working on him.

Thank you for allowing me to plush your beautiful OC, and I hope you like him as much as I do!!  (I him)
