One of the first plushes I created without the use of a pattern was Gnarly the Zombie:
Gnarly, as you can see, fit very well with his name. His defining features included an 'interactive' brain that rattled around inside his head, and a dangling eyeball. He's been beat up a bit, and is covered in fake blood made from flour, water, and food coloring.
Over time, as I've learned to make a variety of other things, I keep coming back to zombies. The design has evolved a bit, and I've experimented with other varieties of zombie, including zombie cats and a zombie Easter Bunny.
This style of zombie has a hollow head that has been cut in half, but some others have regular-sized heads with bits of brain sticking out of the back in the form of pink loops of yarn. Other features like bitten-off ears, stitches, bandages, and bits of exposed stuffing have all appeared on the newer variations.
What can I say? I love zombies. Zombies, however, only love brains. :'(
