Description
So, for winning my contest, here she is: Kiera Dragonite.
Yay practice. She's got all I could see on the ref, plus a little extrapolation for the back of stuff. Also I couldn't match the purple, which is why her purple's dark.
If you want, MadMeeper, I can get you other views. I just liked this one the best. I actually have some that look JUST LIKE the pose on the ref sheet, but I digress.
Uhm, what else.

This creation was made with a type of crafting called needle felting. Basically what happens is I take a bunch of loose (i.e. roving) wool and jab it with a needle (many, many times). The wool bonds to itself, slowly getting firmer and firmer. Eventually, it's firm enough to stand by itself in a sculpture-like way. By adding more roving wool, I can sculpt a creature or a person or whatever out of the wool.
Needlefelting is a relatively new craft, having only been invented 30 years or so ago. It's similar to the process of wet felting, but instead of using water, needles are used.
My needlefelt creations almost always include a wire base, so they are extremely posable, and I find the freedom of sculpting and the resulting plushness to be everything I could have asked for in a medium.
I happily take commissions, and my prices range from 20 and up, depending on the complexity but mainly on the size.

I know this was made a while ago, but I don't think I ever commented on it! Thought I did and then I realized that I hadn't... I feel terrible about that, I'm really sorry this is so late! D:
I just got it in the mail from *dragonmarkaleb and I gotta say it's absolutely FANTASTIC! :'D I love all the attention you made to detail and how close she is to the older reference sheet! And I LOVE how her pose can change, it's so much fun to play with!
THANKS SO MUCH!
