As mentioned, it's made entirely out of felt and stuffing (and string and glue, I assume). It looks really good, and seems like it only would have cost a few dollars. If I'm wrong about that, hopefully Claire will correct me... and submit a pattern for the rest of us!
You can check out all of her Murky pictures in the gallery below.

I would totally love a pattern!

I'm a man. Quite the man, in fact. I drive cars, I hammer nails etc.
But this is enough to even make me go: "Awwwwww!"

How many pictures can we get of the same damn side?
Amethyst May 13th 2009 4:32PM
Sorry about that, I sent a link to them all but thought they would just pick the best one or two out :P
I just made him up as I went along and didn't use/make a pattern so unfortunately I can't share one with you. He did only cost a few pounds though and was really easy to make :)

You can remove your foot from your mouth now!

I wasn't trying to be mean, more humorous. It was funny that they used all their pictures. I would have assumed they'd pick the best one.
The murloc looks great. Major kudos on doing it proper.

The pattern has been out for a while. I've so wanted to take a few weeks and make a few for guildy give aways. Thanks for the reminder :D I may still do it :D

That pattern looks to be for an adult murloc given the proportions though :P

I've never wanted to stab my monitor as much I do know.

Looks great, nicely done!
And with the way things have been rolling in the last few months, incoming Blizzard cease-and-desist order in:
3...
2...
1...
(Nuclear launch detected.)

I'd like someone to create a Murloc puppet.

This is lovely! :D How long did that take?
Coincidentally enough, did anyone see the 'Cuddle-Me-Yoggy'?

Everyone's favourite Old God, Yogg-Saron, now in convinient plush format.

That's hilarious.

Ventriloquism is a one way street, Murky.
Very nicely made though!

Incoming Cease and Desist order!!
After all, only Blizzard can sew up the cute parts of their intellectual properties.
This so-called "fair use fan work" violates the WoW ToS in two parts: first, that only Blizzard employees may gratuitously violate their own property by their own bare hands, and second, were you to sign into WoW with this murloc on your hand, you have released and allowed a third-party (however cute and well-made) access to your account.
The good news is, any gurgling made by the owner of the hand is still considered derivative and interpretive of the property, and therefore still fair use!

Aw, thanks for all the lovely comments guys :) Cadychan, I'd say he took one or two days of actual making, which would have been less if he was machine sewn. I don't have access to a sewing machine so he's completely hand stitched

Now all it needs is a squeeze activated voice box that makes it say "mrrrgglgggrgl".

Eric totally stole my quote!
Lovely job on creating one of the more annoying creatures. Makes me think back to my younger days of WoW.
