The Meow Wolf Art Complex grand opening is this weekend, March 17-20, 2016. There is a limited number of Cat Wolf plush toys available in their shop, so go check it out!
For most of my plush designs, I sketch three views to get started on shaping the plush pattern pieces. Since this one was asymmetrical with the wolf and cat
being twisted together, I should have done both side views. Luckily, the front
view was enough to figure out the color blocking of the two animals
becoming one.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5hTCs6i1NSujlohMKBcc-yJHPa1cFdaXTvOmFTftozlI-L7VWGFGG5udeF2tAM4Y4scEXbrazpczG0q2kpjWG5kxH45KGzu9tbBe2fkD366T0yGGMpEfmyb6k4XYlxdC25LgITQL-X3EU/s1600/MW_plush_turnaround1.jpg)

There wasn't an existing Meow Wolf Cat Wolf character, Emily came up with this concept but the colors weren't completely decided on yet. I sketched a couple different color combinations, and ultimately Emily liked it in black and white.
At the end of last year, I bought an embroidery machine and it really came in handy to create the faces for the Cat Wolf. The finished toy is about 12 inches tall.
