Core Concept
Poros are fictional creatures from the popular game League of Legends. They originated from the Freljord, a harsh and frozen land, and propagated to many other areas over time. Poros represent truth, valor, innocence, and love. While they are not playable champions, they cheer players on from the sidelines in Howling Abyss. I wanted to create a poro from scratch because Riot’s official poro plush is both sold out and does not do the actual design justice (see third picture below). Additionally, I would just love to create a fluffy companion from one of my most-played games. This will be a learning experience regarding choosing textured fabrics, measuring and scaling different components, and constructing stuffed toys.
