Here’s my submission (finally!) for  [info]alienor77310 in the Snapedom Summer Exchange Fest. I chose to create a doll since costumes and dolls are what I do--my OTP!   This project was a joy, I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. I'd love to know what you think...
 
Title: Snape as a mer-man
Recipient:  [info]alienor77310
Artist: [info]spidermoth 
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Snape is not mine.
Warnings: general man-bits
Author's notes: I had been intending to make a Snape mer-man, so was thrilled that one of the artses Alienor gave as a prompt was just that!  Go here to see her wonderful art!

It was fate—I’m sure of it! *g* 

I took liberties with the hair. My merpeople all have long hair—the mermaids, down to their tails. (…the flipper ones, you naughty things!)
 
 
Here’s my little swish and flick… He’s about 12” overall height.

 
A close-up front view…
 
Back view. I like the way the cheeks turned out!
 
Detail of the dark mark, which was my big disappointment. I’d made an arm where the mark came out perfect(!), but the arm itself was too long. When I shortened it, the mark smeared and I had to start over. The 2nd try wasn’t as nice. Oh, well…
 
Naughty bits…yummm!
ETA: Photobucket busted me on the manly bits. Go here for a peek.

    wow, wow, wow - look at those details! look at that chest! look at those manly bits!
    He's so awesome!

    I haven't read the other comments yet so maybe you've already answered this, but does he have an armature or is that all fabric and stuffing?

    gorgeous!

      Thank you! Your compliments mean alot since I so admire your art!

      Actually, not too many inquiries on the "how". I've been able to make it seem all complicated and mysterious!

      But to answer...He's all stuffing, then under-the-skin sculpting with string and thread. I start with wool stuffing in a tubular gauze and go from there. I did put some very soft metal in the arms for posing, though. On the next one I make I'll experiment with making the tail posable. I'd like to make them able to hold a sitting posemore easily. To get this one to sit I went light on the tail wool.
