I slaved away on this for like a week, working small bits here and there until I decided I wanted to get her finished today. Those wings I am AMAZED came out identical considering I made mistakes on the first one. I replicated said mistakes and the result was pretty good. They are based on the pattern from [link] where I also got the solution for her neck.
The rest is my own pattern made from merely using a reference picture. I am impressed with how awesome she looks. I'm really happy with her. That tail was a challenge too, really tricky but so rewarding. I can safely say I will not be making another. She is also all mine. I made her because I was pretty gutted there is no official Whirlwind plushie.
