hetalia - la tortuga

The plushie making muse gave me a kick in the head and since that absolutely adorable comic with Spain and the turtles... I decided to make a Spain turtle!

This plushie actually gave me a helluva time to make. I drafted the pieces for the fins and shell myself, based on studying pictures of plushies of Tama-chan from Love Hina. The head was from another tutorial for turtles, but inverted.

Currently, he's still technically "in progress" as I need to sew/attach plate patterns onto his shell and give him a mouth. But he looks all right for now, right?
