Doc Emmett Brown

This plushie will eventually be part of a trio but for now he's flying solo. I mentioned earlier why I chose this specific outfit so the next stage was basically some cloth choices.

He isn't a complex design in essentials, with no fiddly parts to his costume.

I had intended to do the hair with cloth but it came out a bit pressed against his head so I decided I'd use some wool a bit like Loki.

Although I'm not unhappy with Loki's hair, it didn't entirely go the way I'd like it to look, but I feel it works particularly well here. The sunnies are card with cooking foil on them and I embroidered on the watches on both wrists. The jacket material was stretchy which drove me a little crazy but worked out fine.

So here he is finished!!

Not bad compared to the original eh?

Well, out of nowhere, I appear to have a list of plushie commissions so I thought I'd write a note about it to keep myself on track.

I've been asked for one very recently due end of January, so it has bumped some non time sensitive ones down the list. Apologies to those whose requests they were.

1. Doc Emmett Brown (Back to the Future films) (due end of Jan)
2. Hermione Grangers (Harry Potter books and films) (deadline tba)
3. Edward Cullen - take 2 (Twilight books and films) (deadline tba)
4. Clara Clayton (Back to the Future films) (deadline tba)
5. Marty McFly (Back to the Future films) (deadline tba)

Doc Emmett Brown

Starting with Doc, I've got the fabrics chosen and cut out and it shouldn't be a huge technical challenge. I had some thoughts about his outfit. He wears several very iconic outfits throughout the films.

The lab coat is a classic but not very exciting or very visually easily recognisable as Doc on a simpliefied plushie. It could come out, much like some of the buyable costumes looking like a cross between ANY mad scientist and a spoof of Einstein.



The radiation suit is also a classic but not very interesting once it's been simplified into a plushie.



He's also worn a rather uninteresting Western style outfit.

So in the end I went with the rather more colourful yellow suit with a red shirt combo.



Sadly I don't have anything patterned for that fabulously insane red shirt so it will be just textured red, but I love that he's also wearing green boots with red laces with this combination. So that should be a loooooot of fun.

Technically this is a relatively simple adaptation of the classic pattern so hopefully it should be quick.

The only unfortunate part is it does mean it will slow down completing my alphabet. I'm now up to letter T, which leaves six main letters to do, plus the three extras. Although I haven't completed the fronts of two of the extras yet.

Wish me luck. It should be definitely a blast from the past!
