Surprise Mini Spotlight!

As I was browsing my very over crowded pile of watched deviations, I couldn't help but notice this gorgeous little gem awaiting my hungry eyeballs...

I knew instantly that I had to revive this blog with a post about him as I'm a fan of both the artist and the song it's based off of. This Little Lion Man was crafted by the ever brilliant 13anana.

There's just something about his face with the little reflections in his eyes and his wee nose that I'm really in love with. That "something" is probably his expression. I mean, just look at his face. That expression is probably the cutest thing I've seen for a long while and after having a night spent being upset, this is such a breath of fresh air for me... And would you look at that tiny fluffy tail and his brilliant fur mane!

And I haven't even mentioned his adorable outfit - this plush has a better fashion sense than I do and he wears those suspenders very, very well.

I'm pretty jealous of the skill that went into little fellow and if I had $35 laying around, I'd snap this little guy up (oh the woes of being a broke college student). If you'd like to grab this little fella, though, I wouldn't mind! You can find him here!

Submission Spotlights

I keep seeing amazing work in my gallery so I figured - hey, let's do another spotlight. That was fun, right?

I won't waste too much space introducing these fantastic works, let's get right to it... after the jump! Boy am I getting good at this blogging stuff... I think.

Our First Features

Going through my messages can sometimes be a daunting task. Even after clearing up my watch list, I still find hundreds of messages piling up from all of the plush groups I follow. There's one that I pay particular attention to though - can you guess which?

Anyway, here are some of the artists who have submitted pieces to Simply-Plush that have caught my eye recently!



First of all is this cute Pweep Fledgie created by the artist Steph-Laberis. I find it incredible how much expression you can pack into beaded eyes, wool roving, a single feather, and a slightly off-center sort of beak. Pweep is beautifully constructed and is a part of a series which also includes a Cockatoo and an Owlet.

The other two Fledgies in the series are shown below.




One of my favourite pieces from this artist is an Adventure Time piece though - I really just love that show. It's impossible for me not to include Science.






Another great artist I've noticed this month is most definitely OopisNein. I'm not sure if it's the tentacled, cephalopod look or the monster-esque features... or both. But they're absolutely fantastic - especially these two cuties, Abner and Matilda. They have poseable tentacles and some really adorable outfits - I mean, check out Matilda's floral print and bow! Plus their cute little fingers make me really want to shake their hands.


Other than these two cuties, she's also made a fellow named Bosco.




A bunny-eared party monster named Delores.



And a really cool Monster Totem - her 4th





Finally, Rekka. She's a beautiful original character created by artist dolphinwing. I'm a sucker for plushes with long limbs and her long arms and legs really drew me in - perhaps even more than her adorable screenprinted expression. Her outfit is fantastic too. My favourite parts are the striped stockings and the cute little boots.


The artist has also done some really, really fantastic fanart pieces too - including Korra from Legend of Korra, Fluttershy from My Little Pony, and Chun Li from Street Fighter.










That's all for this time, hopefully I see more amazing pieces in my messages from you guys. I don't really have any doubts though, you haven't disappointed me yet. 

Can't wait to do another one of these features - they're quite fun!
