Bleach Casual Wear- Renji

My first Renji plush! Honestly, I've seen some pretty nice Renji plushies in his shinigami wear, so I didn't want to simply do the same. I inspired myself from some casual-wear pics of the characters; Renji always looks pretty ghetto/badass gansta yo! LOL. But umm...I've very unfamiliar with that "field", so he kindda just looks like a skate kid getting into hip hop...or maybe a trip-hop kindda guy. If anything, he really reminds me of Fieldy from Korn!! _{don't ask...I think it's the do-rag}

OMG, he's SO cuddly!! And squishy! I used a new fabric, so I had to make a new pattern. I used some form of lycra, and I bought it because I was going to try some needle-sculpting...but...no time right now; con merch is first priority! Generally, the plushies I make are 'display plushies'...but this dude can totally be cuddled _{and thrown around a bit} cuz he's also 15" in height (not counting his hair) so it's substantially sufficient to hug!

I could have completed him wayyyy faster, but I was making a new pattern (I know it doesn't really show in pics, but it does in real life), and I was SO indecisive with his clothes. Oh, and that jacket is fully lined and removable...but I'd rather people not remove it because I didn't draw his arm tats...

This is my favourite detail: [link]

Tell me if you like it as well!

Anyways, so there will be more bleach casual wear kids to come with this new pattern and fabric. Stay tuned.
