I really like his colors. The fur is a little off to me.

Off like too much or off like done wonky? Because the latter is something I might be able to fix.

So, done wonky. Yeah. I could see, what I can do about it. He's just so small.

look for a type of fur called Minky. It is about 1/2" pile and much tighter cloth weave. Or mug a small plushy from a thrift store. And don't be afraid to trim fake fur!

Did some rework on Voch, as I felt that the colors on him were not right. So, I decided to try dying resin with fabric dyes (in this case DEKA batic&dye-color).

So, here is Voch's parts with his new base color. I'll do blushing/faceup probably soon.

I love how the dye took to the body. It gave him a natural light and shadow effect without bushing the body. Totally cool looking.
