LITTLE GROWLIC

Growlic is a Pokémon-concept of an Etsy customer on mine.  Growlic is the female version of Howlic, another Pokemon-concept that my Etsy customer has created.  He recently sent me a drawing of himself as a Pokémon Trainer.  He has asked me to make a doll based off the drawing.  I thought it would be cool to make a smaller version of Howlic and Growlic to go along with the doll.
