Max has been a work in progress since early March! I made him for my daughter, who is absolutely in love with him from the book Where The Wild Things Are. This is only the second piece of fanart I've made. The first was CJ7, which was for her too. :)
He stands approximately 9 1/2 inches tall by 4 1/2 inches wide from arm to arm. I made him out of various types of yarn, cotton for his skin tone, wool for his outfit, and angel hair which I used for his tail and claws. I brushed out the angel hair yarn for a very long time to give it the fluffy appearance. His hood is removable and has little non-functional ties. I can crochet almost anything in the round, but the hood wouldn't work that way. It took me 6 times (and more hours than I care to mention) to get it right. :D His hair left me with bruised fingertips for days! I wanted to give it a lot of texture to make it look tousled. Besides that, this project was a blast. I gave him little ears, cuffs for his sleeves, and used two creamy buttons for his outfit. I was beyond excited that I finished him today. :)
I gave him to her when she woke up from her nap. She was so happy! The biggest smile across her face, she started getting shaky because she couldn't control how happy she was. Then she ran around the house collecting little things to give him as
"presents". :) We read the book with him, then she wanted to watch the movie with him too. That, is entirely worth a month of work. :)
(She says I need to add whiskers too, so I think I have a little more work to go) :p :)
Here are a few more pictures at different angles:
