Demi-Veemon



Just a quick little Digimon project that was easy to do while I struggle with larger ones. His head is basically my Koromon pattern, which, upon looking it over, was really very poorly written. Not such a big deal, considering it was my first one, but I'll definitely revise it when I have leisure. That being said, you can just take off the body, hands and feet of this little guy and use that.

Note: Some parts of this pattern may be slightly wrong as I wrote it in 50 million places in my notebook and can't seem to find all of them. So if something seems wrong, let me know and I'll try to fix it.

Starly



This is actually a project that I finished faster than I expected. I love bird Pokemon like Pidgeotto and Pidove, but all I had to make one with was this darker gray, so I made a Starly.

Pignite



This was one of those projects that was supposed to be a quick, just for fun thing that ended up turning into a real project. What I've learned from this experience: an easy project only incorporates 5 pieces or less. Nevertheless, I'm happy with how it came out, so all's well that ends well. Hope you like it.
