Description This picture isn't good for much except for a meager cute factor and that it shows the Mokona gems on their foreheads. Please part 2 and 3 for more details.

Believe it or not, these guys actually almost took three years to make: I found rallamajoop's tutorial for a pipe fox about that time and began to gather what materials I could on my meager budget. Alas, one thing or another would come up and I had to set the project aside in the bottom drawer of my desk.

Fast forward to about a month ago: I was looking for some Tsubasa Chronicle/xxxholic fanart when I rediscovered rallamajoop's tutorial along with Bahamut50's own version and I decided the timing was finally right. With lots of improvisation and some divine intervention, I ended up with the above results.

Maybe it was because fanart of the Mokona's far outnumbered those dedicated to Mugetsu that I got the outrageous inspiration to combine the character designs. My reasoning at the time was that Soel (the white Mokona) claims to have 108 secret abilities, and it is implied that Larg (you should know who that is by process of elimination) has a few of his own, so maybe shape shifting into other cutie critters is one of them?

It's interesting what excuses people will give themselves to try something stupid.

However, I personally am very satisfied with the results. : )

A very generous and sincere thanks to rallamajoop and Bahamut 50 for their guidance. If you want to make one or more of these interesting hybrids yourself I highly recommend following their tutorials. Afterwards, if you have any lingering questions, I'll try to answer them the best to my ability.

First off: I'm very sorry for the late reply. Life is a time-stealer.

Secondly: Thank you so much for your seal of approval! That really made my day. And thanks again for the tutorial; these guys wouldn't have seen the light of day without your help.

Truthfully, these guys are not 100% finished in my mind. I have several "accessories" planned for a future date, such as wings, large eyes for a "Mekyo!" expression, and oval cheek beads and U shaped beads for the eyes so that they can make their "pleased face." It's finding the materials that's proving difficult, so it will definitely be a long time before this plan reaches it's fruition. But I'm still glad to have these guys around in the meantime!
