Tassen 🐶 humanifiedThis challenge was so much fun!^^ and let me introduce you to my oldest (and favourite) stuffed animal, Tassen the St.Bernhard dog

Tried to give him a hairstyle that kinda looked similar to his ears and his fur is actually cut (think my sister did it) but honestly I don’t even remember him having longer fur at all, the only reason I think he’s been attacked by scissors is that my childhood friend had the exact same stuffed dog but with lots of fur and actually his fur is really uneven so it looks like it’s been trimmedšŸ˜…, and that’s why I chose that expression for the human version, since I’ve always found one of his eyes to look more angry with how the fur falls around it, and from how I always imagined his personality to be as a kid I think it fits him xD also why I gave him that slit in the eyebrow since the fur is like cut weirdly above his right eye too
I was originally gonna give him freckles to mimick the darker fur under his eyes but ended up giving him some sort of birthmarks instead, but now I wish I had went with the freckles idea instead..

Also wanna mention his medallion thing is one of many of the same I’ve had since I was a kid and used as collars for several of my stuffed animals, it’s not attached to him or part of the stuffed animal design

This caption is already long but I just feel like explaining his name too; So he was named after a book series about a yellow dog named Tassen in the Norwegian translation (Spot in English) and Tassen is a pretty common name for all pets not just dogs, kinda hard to translate but when looking it up I think it’s equivalent to runt or tot, like you would call a little child ā€žtass" but it actually has a lot of different meanings in Norwegian, or rather there’s several homonyms but the meaning of ā€žtassen" is like ā€žthe tot" or ā€žthe runt" i guess
