Kratos Sackboy

This is a a sackboy version doll of Kratos, from God of War, I made it for my brother. He is a huge fan of this videogame and I knew he was going to love it.

Kratos (God of War)

Kratos sackboy (Little Big Planet)

He was asking for a doll like this since I learned to make amigurumis, but you know, familiarity breeds contempt.

In my defense I can say that it has been one of the most toilsome dolls I have ever made. It's twice the size of any other character I have made and it has more than 20 different parts ... it was a long sewing process!

The fingers was the most difficult part since they are really small tubes. In fact, I had to repeat the hands because I was not really happy with how they looked.

The chains over the arms and legs, the belt and the wait wrap are independent pieces sewn one by one onto the body

This is his angry face, You can see here his scar and beard:

I hope you like it !

This doll from the videogame "Legend of Zelda " was made for a friend who's a huge Nintendo fan.
And no, it's not Zelda (Zelda is the princess), his name is Link and he looks like this:

This has been one of the most difficult dolls I have made up to date. The pattern is quite different to the one I use normally for my dolls . Also, even if it doesn't look like it, it has a lot of pieces that had to be crocheted separately.

One of tha main differences with the other patterns is his head. It is made so it can rotate over the neck and therefore he can look both sides and up and down.
