LITTLE HOWLIC

Howlic was a Pokémon-concept of an Etsy customer on mine.  There is a female version as well.  She is called Growlic.  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.  There is also a smaller version of Growlic to go along with the doll.  That pattern is coming soon.
