Gaming Juggling Balls! (ft Sonic, Mario, and Link)

Christmas time!!! time for me to make presents for everyone, or say I'm going to make presents for too many people and disappoint half the people on my list lol.  First on my list that I finished: My boyfriend ^-^

To explain, my boyfriend knows how to juggle ( I know, isn't that AWESOME!!!) and he's a gamer (I know, isn't that cool!!!).  I knew I wanted to make him a set of juggling balls, but I could decide on the color or how i was going to stuff them.  I was talking to some of my friends at school about what I was planning, and another gamer friend of mine said I should make a Sonic, Mario, and Link.  So here they are!!
 The first one I finished was Sonic the Hedgehog.  I I had a pretty good idea about how to make him into a juggling ball.
This is the side.  I like how the eyes turned out ^-^
 This is the back, showing the spines.  they were relatively easy to make
 It'sa me, Mario!!
 My brother gave me the idea of  having the hat cover the eyes.  I just finished the hat when he walked in, so I showed him him how it fits on the ball.  I like how this one turned out, though I was nervous it wouldn't look right.  Both Mario and Link I didn't know how to do the hair or hats.
 Link.  He comes to town.  Comes to save the Princess Zelda.
 Yeah, his eyes are kinda buggy, they're based off toon Link's eyes, and his hair looks funny in this picture...
 His hat.  I restarted this part so many times because it wasn't making a cone like i wanted it too.  It was either too long by the time it could cover his head, or it didn't cover his head at all.
 But here they are, and I think they look great!
