Well I made this a bit ago for my brother~. He moved out nearly five years ago. I haven't seen him since then -.-. My parents recently went to visit him. When I got the news I was very happy and very sad. I knew I couldn't go with them. I love my brother very much and of course I miss him dearly. So I thought of this. Kabutops is his favorite pokemon from when we were children~ So what better present is there? I would have loved to see his face when he got it *sigh* I'm however very happy he has it now and that I could give my brother a small piece of my love that he can keep with him I love you big bro and hope to see you very soon

This doll is very well done! The shaping is excellent and looks just like the pokemon, without being extremely realistic. Your plush style is very evident, though a bit inconsistent. Your seams are very neat, and the different colors attached nicely-- however, the eyes look to be very messy, as you can see the stitching around the ends.
This would not be a problem if it were felt or an anti-pill fabric, but it appears that you used the same minky fabric as was used on the doll. I'm sure you're aware that this fabric frays terribly-- perhaps you could try turning the ends under and doing a hidden stitch from the outside. If you have a machine, you could try a thick zigzag stitch to assure that the ends of the fabric does not fray! I definitely recommend this technique, but make sure you use a backing while doing a thick stitch with this fabric!

Again, well done! Your works are great!
