Little Stu, just Strollin' around! 🤭

Little Stu, just Strollin' around! 🤭

Let me introduce you to my latest fanart commission: the adorable Strollin’ Stu from the Super Mario Sunshine game! 💛🩷💙 This was such a fun one to work on, especially because I didn’t know the character before. The client was so sweet and got me totally hooked—next thing I knew, I was watching gameplay videos on YouTube with Stu bouncing around the screen, just doing his thing. 😂 Honestly, getting to know new characters this way is one of my favourite parts of working on custom projects.

For this plushie, I used Caron Simply Soft yarn, which is one of my favourites for its solid quality and amazing colour variety. It works up nicely for amigurumi and helps give a clean, well-defined look to the final piece—great for bringing fanart characters to life with the right pop of colour and charm.

What I love the most about commissions like this is how they make it possible for fans of more niche characters to have their very own huggable bestie. Not everyone’s favourite is a mainstream character—and I honestly love that. Getting to turn someone’s underrated fave into a cuddly plush is one of the most rewarding things I get to do.

Thanks again to my lovely client who introduced me to Stu and made this little creative adventure possible! 🥰❤️

Thank you so much for taking my commission on and bringing lil’ Stu to life! I appreciated you involving me with the design choices (his pants were a little hard to color match!) and keeping me up to date with your progress 😁 I’m so thrilled with how he turned out and I can’t wait to gift him to my sister!
