My journey from dreaming of veterinary medicine to crafting realistic animal replicas!

My name is Irina Prostova. I am an artist specializing in realistic soft animal sculptures.

I began creating these soft sculptures in 2017.

Since childhood, stuffed animals have always been my favorite toys. I once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but as I approached graduation, I realized that I wouldn't be able to handle the emotional and psychological demands of that profession. However, I have always loved caring for and observing animals—their forms, habits, and unique personalities. I never imagined that many years later, this passion would evolve into my career.

My workshop is located in Moscow. I accept custom orders and ship my works worldwide.

As a rule, most of my pieces are made to order, but occasionally, ready-to-ship toys become available.

You can check current availability and see examples of my custom work in the shop.

About Realistic Plush Animals

I create my realistic toys using artificial materials; I do not use any real animal parts in my work. The primary material is high-quality faux fur.

All the animals are fully poseable thanks to a special internal armature (skeleton). They can take various poses: sitting, lying down, or standing. Some animals also feature a movable jaw.

Every element (noses, claws, jaws, etc.) is handcrafted by me, meticulously following the animal's anatomy. I pay immense attention to the detailing of each piece.
Each soft toy is a one-of-a-kind (OOAK) creation with its own unique character. A 100% exact replica of a previously made character is impossible.
The creation time for one toy typically ranges from 2 weeks to 2.5 months.

You can see the different stages of toy creation in my workshop (studio) section.
