This is my geeky amigurumi of the week. Maybe you recognized him: This is Guybrush Threepwood, the protagonists of the
Monkey Island video game saga
.
When I started to show people the kind of dolls I made, guys (I can mention here Dani, Alb, Edu...) told me " you should do a Guybrush, you should do a Guybrush"". Well, done. In this case is for my friend Dani, whom I owed a lemming since I don't know when. So instead of that I made this doll which I knew he'd like better.You know, to make it up for the lateness.
Here are some pics:
He has eyebrows and a prominent nose. The goatee and the forelock were tricky, but I think they ended up ok. I don't know which color the pixelated eyes of Guybrush are, so I decided blue suited him well..
I tried hard to make the body and clothes very detailed without using felt. Everything is crocheted or embroidered. I'm really happy with the results. I made him in the Monkey Island II outfit since it was Dani's favorite. Here are some pics of the original for reference:
Sorry if it sounds wrong, but I think is one of my best works to date.
I hope you like it and that you tell me what you think of him!
PS: Maybe in the future I will crochet something like this three headed monkey, so freaky and cute:
