I thoroughly enjoy seeing what makers do with my patterns. This Baphomet is no exception.
I’ll take a little sideline here to address the elephant, …errr…goat, in the room. Yes, the Baphomet is an invented idol associated with supernatural, mystical or magical beliefs and is considered a demonic idol. I’m not here to discuss that…you can take it or leave it.
My purpose here is to show you this wonderful piece of art created by Chris Mills, who was testing my Gallant Goat pattern when they made this creation, secondary to the goat they ware testing. They have been kind enough to share with you what they did to make this guy so you can have a crack at it as well, if you’d like.
The Arms
Chris used the templates from the Keen K-9 to make the arms. You can also use the templates from the Charismatic Cat or Debonair Dragon. Just sew these up in place of the goat arms.
The Wings
Chris drafted their own wing pattern. You can draft your own or you can use the Pegasus wings from my Nutty Nag pattern and use them as-is or alter them to suit the look you desire.
Other Details
All other aspects were made with the Gallant Goat pattern.
The ears are the “Regular Upright” ears and made in minky.
The horns are adjusted and lengthened, use the “H1” template and make your own modifications. They made these in fleece, minky will work well, also.
They used 24mm Dragon Eyes.
They thread/soft sculpted the face, pulling the eyes in a little at the front corners.
The Chin Gusset, Back of the Head panels, Tail and Legs are all made with long pile faux fur (Shannon Fabrics Dreamy Fur will work well here). The body panels is split between fur and smooth minky. The Face Side panels, Head Gusset, and wings are made with smooth minky. The hooves are made with fleece, smooth minky will work well here, also.
Speaking of the hooves…that extra defined look was created by soft sculpting the Cloven Hoof option in the pattern…brilliant idea, Chris!
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us, Chris!!

Why am I ok with pattern hacks? I know some designers aren’t, and that’s ok, too! I see it as creative expression and if I can help boost your creativity in this way…that’s what it’s all about. It doesn’t then allow you to take ownership of my design that you altered, it still remains my design by copyright law in terms of the templates used and altered. (No, altering templates a ‘certain percentage’ is not how actual copyright law works. It remains a derivative of my work in which you have modified…learn more here.)
