Commission - Glaucus Atlanticusby *altearithe

Artisan Crafts / Dolls, Plushies & Custom Toys / Amigurumi

Or known as the Blue Dragon Sea Slug or "that freakishly awesome thing that you can find in the ocean!

".

This was a commission for a very good friend of mine from high school. ^w^ She's absolutely thrilled with it (and squeed for 5 minutes straight when she first saw the dragons I made when I gave her these two.

).

I hope you guys like them too. They were a crazy challenge to make and pretty much had pushed a lot of the commissions back about a month around the holidays. >.<;
I tried to make them as accurate as I could too.

I'm not too pleased with the tails, but they looked really weird with the addition at the end. @.@ Oh well, live and learn, no? :3

(These guys were only a tad over three inches long.)

For a while when I say these I was thinking they were some pieces or something. I just didn't think they were actual organisms. I never even heard of these sea slugs before, so just now as I am typing this I just checked google and I'm kind of surprise an animal of this appearance exist. They look like they are straight from a fantasy story, but then sea creatures had a tendency to look like that (that and insects). Just seeing it reminded me a bit why I became interested in non-human animals to begin with (one of the reasons that is). There common name also has a fantasy ring to it. That and it reminds me of a title of a series known as "Blue Dragon", but that is because at the moment I'm listening to the songs from the series. It's a good name for them as they kind of look dragon like in a way.

Anyway now that I know what what your amigurumi plushies are suppose to be I think you did a good job with them for the most part. I can see what you mean by the tails as they look kind of stubby compare to the actual tails, but it's close to what they look like.

I feel happy for going through your past entries now I have learn of an animals I have not known exist before. ^_^ When I find the time I'm going to learn more about them.

Those things are definitely freakishly awesome! I never would have thought to crochet them though.

Thanks!

I know, right? @w@ I was shocked when my buddy asked me to make them. I wasn't sure I could. Heck, I'm not sure I did them too well. >.<;

~0Shortie0 Feb 12, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Aw, I think they're awesome! I knew what they were before I read the title or description.
