I've just started playing SC2, and I fell in love with the bulbous booty of the Baneling! SO I made one, in my plush style! Well I made a few so far for other fellow SC2 baneling nerd lovers. But I call them BANGlings because for the longest time that's what I though people were calling them haha
The green is a super soft/velvety bumpy fabric, the rest is regular and patterned fleece. And its about 12-13 inches long. This is 100% handmade by me, its take about 6-8 hours to make one of these guys. I hope my process speeds up the more I make.

More images on my blog. (scroll down past the flowers) http://shannahomeara.blogspot.com/
Hope you enjoy my BANGling!
Also since people have been asking me where to buy them here is my etsy,
http://www.etsy.com/shop/BoRoShan
BoRo out.

The :3 face on the baneling is oddly appropriate.
|
They are so cute, until they explode all over you D: Very nice job!
|
This is so awesome! I'd totally buy this shit.
|
OMG those are amazing. i would spend money to buy those
props to you
|
wow that is AWESOME  love it alot, nice work!
|
omg so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute :3
|
So nerdy, I love it!
Wait, no. There is no way in hell I am going to ever start liking Banelings. Ever.
|
Awesome job!
Also, there is nothing better than watching a baneling herd crashing right on my fac-rax wall off and doing nothing at all. hehehe

that's what she said.
i want one!
|
With how cute banelings are, I'm almost afraid of there being a TL meme based on them.
|
Excellent work. I'd buy one!
|
Good news! i do sell them! On my Etsy
If you don't see the Bangling wait a few minute/hours that means i sold out and need to repost it, Or Contact me Via etsy and we can set up custom work.
|
Hahah these are totally amazing. I agree with someone above me something about the 3 face is hilariously appropriate.
|
|
Pretty damn adorable, I'd definitely buy one. Impressive work
|
I HATE BANELINGS KILL IT WITH FIRE
|
they are now known as :3anelings
|
Cutie pie. That looks awesome.
|
Baneling traps against MMM balls give me a reason to live.
Gotta love banglings
|
It's so cute, yet at the same time, I have the urge to shoot it with a dart before I get too close.
A fat, cute, but popable zerg pimple.

|
Awww that's so awesome, reminds me of this image:

Yes! Yes! I agree. I'm SO going to buy one of these guys. The only way they could be cuter is if they squeak when you squeeze them.
I'd love to see other zerg plushies.

Lol that's pretty clever. :3anelings ftw!
|
Wait are you a girl that plays SC2?
|
Haha! Making creepy, slimy, exploding critters looking cute. I won´t fall for that!
There´s just no way I let one of those things into my flat, without having some sentries ready to FF my bedroom. .....on the other hand, it looks soooooooooooo cute!
Damit, I´ll buy one :-S
|
|
i want this. i will give you $50 for one. so cute!
|
Where can I pur-chase these cute things? Can you open up shop?

I'm actually making a zergling dog costume for one of my buddies. It's a little Pomeranian. I've never made anything like that before so hopefully it works out haha. I'll post pics when its done.

Haha yes I am a girl that plays SC2. Not super well, but not the worse player either. I'm playing through the campaign now, but I play Zerg on multi.
|
Why do I have this insane urge to buy one :3
|
I am disappointed I cannot afford one.
Still, nice work!
|
lol so awesome totally worth the 50$
|
I'll have to wait for my paychecks b/c 50 smackers is a bit much right now.
|
Very cool! Do you have plans to make any others? An overlord might be a cool one to do, also being bulbous
|
|
I had no idea what to expect entering this thread, but that's totally awesome lol

I though about doing an overlord, its an easier one to make in my style. Maybe in the future, the overlords are pretty complicated looking. Another reason I have only made the bangling. The original design was pretty simple. plus they are my favorite unit. Sadly i dont use them enough when actually playing. I'm still quite the NOOB.

The overlord idea seems so awesome because you could actually hang it from the ceiling. Or a super slow moving ceiling fan, Awe-SOME. Looking through your website, and the whole cute+macabre+aliceinwonderland vibe is sweet.

RAAAAAA KILL IT.
I hate banelings, but I love your plushie. Very well done :D
|
You could probably make a marine/sentry fairly easly, Id buy one of those! but Banelings are the BANE of my existance. I hate those fucking units. LOL
|
Oh man, I hated those things until I started to use them regularly. Now they are easily the best unit ever.
|
you're bangladeshi? holy shit edit: at least, your eblogger profile appaers to me in bangladeshi xD
|
Have you tried adding centrifugal hooks and seeing if you can get them to roll?
|
oh my word that is amazing
|
Hard to believe that things explodes in my face.
It looks really cute. Great job!
|
I would buy one of those and start punching it so hard in the face.
>_< + Show Spoiler +fuck baneling bust
|
that's kinda cute
you shud make one for hydra
|
Once I can get my girl to love starcraft like I do, would be the epic perfect gift for a guy to give to his girl.
|
|
A real cutie!! By the way, how do you make such things(process & equip + skill)?

Oh the process. haha For this guy i referenced the model from the game.

then I make a rough sketch of my version of the BANGling.

Alot more cutesy haha Then I go into illustrator and figure out the pattern, The hardest part of the process. I research other plush patterns that have similar shapes that I want and then alter them to fit my needs. There was a ton of back and forth getting the sizes right, its hard to tell what its gonna look like til you sew and stuff it. So a lot of prototypes went to the dog haha.
Then I get the pattern right and make the 1st finished prototype and after that they only get better looking and easier to make. I hand sew about 75% of him. That's why it takes soooo long to make one of them. About 6-8 hours with cutting the fabric, pinning, sewing, stuffing, and finishing touches.
Equipment I use, is my handy dandy laptop, a ThreadBanger sewing machine (oh yes is called a ThreadBanger, its made by Janome) Misc fabrics preferably ones that don't fray. And I'm a self taught crafter. I have a few books on sewing and crafts, that I get tips/tricks from. Sewing and following patterns isn't hard at all, making custom patterns is tough though, you have to think inside out and backwards. And I think my brain has popped a couple times.
Hope that answers your question. =)
|
This is so cute. You should make zergling and hydralisk plushies. I would totally buy those en masse.
|
You should edit your original post with the link to purchase, some people don't go through the whole thread . Looks awesome!

|

|
Start selling them or I'm going to kidnap you and force you to.
|
I would buy one, no matter the price. And I don't even play Zerg.
|
where do i get mine??
lovin this
|
|
Wow, i cant even imagine what you could make a probe look like.
|
Why are there no Baneling plushies? And probe plushies?
I would definitely buy one, and Blizzard found another source of money
Terran has no cute stuff
|
I just wanna squeeze that bangling. Explosive sac be damned.
|
Wow these are awesome.
I gotta wonder though, is this breaking some type of copyright by Blizzard?
I hope not, because a plushy of every unit would be amazing. I want an infestor.

There is a severe lack of "OMG IT'S A GIRL!!!!" posts in this thread.
That is an awesome face for a baneling :3
|
Holy crap I want to buy this and a sentry version so bad
|
Sentry and Infestor please!
The baneling is cute and all, but I think a Sentry would be the best.
How big is the little fella anyway?
|
Yeah, I see a lot of people asking if a sentry would be possible too. I personally might consider a chibi-Ultra. =D
btw, I'd be careful as this is likely stepping on Blizzard's toes.
