Description
So here's something I've been working on for a while, a lifesize Velociraptor mongoliensis; one of the final few Kickstarter incentives that have been a bit late coming. I hope it was worth the wait!This plush is life-size, pose-able with a semi-realistic range of movement. Perhaps a little too flexible, but that's fine too.

Hi there! Thanks so much for your support. The kickstarter was completed, some of the products made can be seen here: www.palaeoplushies.com/
I'm afraid I haven't got any of the big 'uns available at the moment, I'm working out a way to make these efficiently!

I need this in my life. Seriously. Can I buy this and how much is it? As a dinosaur lover. (Scientifically accurate ones that is) I would kill for this.

woah this looks so fucking cool!! I like it more than the other!!
I just think the legs (and maybe the arms) are quite small.
I suppose these will be more expensive than the others? ;(

Thank you!
Yes, they'll be more expensive! I haven't figured out a price that I can make these for consistently, so they won't be in the shop for a while.
The legs and arms are actually the right size, this was built based on up to date skeletal reconstructions by ScottHartman . The fluffy body dwarfs the limbs a bit, though perhaps the feet are a little bit skinny.

oh ya, I said that because I saw Arvalis (the guy of the realistic pokΓ©mon) saying that "the primaries and secondaries are wrong", but now I think he was refering to the feathers XD.
Though in that case I don't have problem with them!

Oh right! Thanks anyway.
I'd love to know how the feathers are wrong, I tried really hard to get them as accurate as possible!

I really don't know, I'm not an expert in that stuff and I already like a lot this plushie.
You better ask Arv

This is SO COOL!
Is the face and wings made of sculpey/clay or is that a printed fabric?
I really love the colours and markings. Beautiful work

Hi there! Thanks for your lovely comment. The face and wings are printed fabric with taxidermy eyes set in. I'm glad you like it!

Wooow! This is amazing! And life sized!
Very nice!

Holy... Wow. Having never done a plushie I probably can't appreciate all the work that went to it, but I do see that it's looking awesome.

Holy crap. I feel like an absolute beginner now.
May I ask what material the feet are made of?
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure you can! They're pattern pieces digitally painted by me and I got it printed onto ... I think it was Silky Faille fabric by spoonflower: www.spoonflower.com/silky_failβ¦

Wow, I dind't think it was fabric at first. They are so detailed and well shaped that I thought they might be made out of clay or something like that.
