Finally, Exeggutor is done . I’ve been thinking that I would be able to finish him previous year, since I started in August, but it took way more time.

I’m very satisfied with the result ; no major faults or mistakes (just some little ones that are hard to spot, but I think I will keep making that kind of mistakes).

For the Pókemon die-hards: Yes, Exeggutor should have 3 heads according to the Pókedex. I’ve searched the internet, but I haven’t found a picture of the backside of Exeggutor (not even in the Exeggutor-episode of season 1 ). Since I couldn’t come up with a decent design for its back, I thought it would be nicer to create some more heads, so Exeggutor would look more radially symmetric. I think it turned out very well.

Measurements:
21 cm wide
28 cm tall

Material

T-shirt fabric, except for:

- The eyes and mouths. Those are made of felt, (black) thread that is also used for sewing or a combination of both.

- I’ve used some metal wire in some of the leaves to keep them together. I’ve also tried to make a very simple, rigorous skeleton for its legs so Exeggutor would be able to stand straight. It worked, but he tips over very easily.

- I’ve used cardboard to flatten its feet.


Good parts
The overall look of Exeggutor. Its parts seem to fit together in the proper ratio. If you can find

Lesser parts
None if you ask me. Of course there are some little mistakes, but I don’t think I can do much better than this.

Difficult parts
Attaching the leaves and the heads to its body. His feet were also difficult because of the small parts.

Designing the patterns for its head-region was hard too, but it worked out fine .

Time needed

A whole lot! I guess I like the little projects more…

A rough estimate: 100 hours?
