Happy #PortfolioDay !
I'm Avanii, a plush and convention artist from the Netherlands! I design and handmake plush animals in realistic and toony styles. I also draw and paint animals, fantasy creatures, and semi-realistic Pokemon! Currently obsessed with volcanoes 🌋
Shop: avanii.nl
Photo of a realistic red fox plush, designed and handmade by the artist Avanii A painting done in acrylic inks, depicting an Icelandic landscape of moss and rocks, with a realistic typhlosion in the foreground and an erupting volcano in the background. A photo of a bunch of small plushies on a garden table. The group contains Eevee, Sylveon, Leafeon, Espeon, a few kitsune and a cute vampire bat. A painting done in acrylic inks. It depicts a volcanic monster made of lava and rock, shaped like a mustelid, with lava fountains bursting from its back as if it were a fissure eruption incarnate.

Working on a new line of mini plush! They can stand thanks to their tail, and with the loop and ring you can also attach them to a bag, lanyard etc. They are little travel buddies 🥰 I started with mustelids, but what other animals should I make? #handmadeplush #ferret #weasel #avanii
Photo of 3 small ferret plushies, two white and one brown, standing in front of a rack of rainbow threads. Photo of 3 mini plushies waiting for stuffing. They are an otter, pine marten, and sable ferret Photo of Avanii’s hand holding a mini white ferret or weasel plushie Photo of Avanii’s hand holding the mini brown ferret plushie, showing the ring on the loop attached to its head.

*This* is what the people of Pompeii, and Herculaneum, and many other hapless souls saw—this is what a pyroclastic density current looks coming RIGHT at you.

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.

This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.

But it's not very far off.

European badgers are very social and as such, I have to make a buddy for this lass as soon as possible 😂 She’s not even finished yet but here we go! It’ll be a classic grey one this time. #handmadeplush

Working on a new plush pattern: big laying #badger! I’m so pleased with this prototype so far 🥰 The colours are based on erythristic badgers, I’ll also make a classic grey one later! Photos show various stages of the plush making process. I did tons of thread sculpting on the paws! #handmadeplush

So I really like making plush Typhlosions 🥰 Here’s all the different types I’ve made: from ‘’comfy friends’, to jointed vintage toy style, beanies, and big & realistic. And #Quilava 😂 A couple will be up for adoption at Dutch Comic Con this weekend!#handmadeplush #typhlosion #pokemonart #pokemon
A photo of 4 typhlosion plushies made by Avanii. Two are fluffy and big, the others small and have plastic eyes instead of embroidered. Photo showing 8 handmade typhlosion plushies of various styles and sizes, both classic and hisuian varieties. There is also one quilava.

Aw yeah it's almost HDCC time, my last convention of the year! Find me, Avanii, in the DEALER HALL at booth H14. Working hard to get the last few plushies and patches done before the weekend starts. Will I see you there? :D

When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account

Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half

We price for that, so please be understanding!

Back at it with the #typhlosion plushies! They will be up for adoption at my Dutch Comic Con booth next week. But first, the hisuian needed a manicure (sculpting paws) 🤭 It’s gonna be hard to say goodbye, these plush are so soft! Inspired by the Comfy Friends/Fuwa line #handmadeplush #pokemonart
A big fluffy hisuian typhlosion plush sits on a desk. Avanii’s hand is holding its paw. You can see pinheads on the paw to guide the needle during thread sculpting. Three hands on the photo: the finished paw of the hisuian typhlosion plush, a paw of a fluffy regular typhlosion plush, and Avanii’s own holding the two up.

As the sun was setting over the ruins, Vesuvio's unrest grew rapidly. It was time to leave this place...

Pahoe’s volcanic adventures: Vulcano island! Such a beautiful (and slightly smelly) place. I love how the plush’ colours match this volcano 🌋🥰 #volcano #vulcano #handmadeplush
Photo of a plush lava otter on the rim of Vulcano’s crater. In the background you see fumaroles and sulfur deposits, and even further away Stromboli volcano can be seen. A view of Vulcano volcano from below, showing its striking peach and dark grey colours above the green shrubbery. Photo of a plush lava otter on the rim of Vulcano’s crater. In the background you see fumaroles and sulfur deposits. The central crater of Vulcano, surrounded by its caldera rim, as seen from the ocean. The crater is steaming vigorously.

Arrived in Italy for a tour of its volcanoes, first stop: Naples! Vesuvius’ presence is visible all over, from the actual mountain to logos and name references all around. But its lesser known, larger cousin, Campi Flegrei, announced itself too: I felt a quake originating from there just now 😮
