Monkey Island crochet

[Sira Raven]

(I think this is an okay place to post this, but if it's not, just let me know!)

So...I'm a big Monkey Island fan (sort of a given being on this forum, I guess). And I started crocheting last summer, so I thought it'd be a good idea to combine my interests and crochet Guybrush Threepwood! This would be a straightforward task except that Guybrush seems to go through a decent physical transformation between his adventures. The only viable solution, of course, was to make all five.

(I have picture comparisons of the game versions vs. mine in my forum album (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/album.php?albumid=341) - I just didn't want to make this post too picture heavy!)

I had a really fun time making these guys! I especially enjoyed shaping the hair for the final three games. :) I thought I'd share them here since I figured people might enjoy them, and since this is pretty much the coolest gathering of Monkey Island fans on the web. (I've been frequenting Telltale's forums for almost 4 years now...I just don't post a lot)

And yeah, the gold design on ToMI Guybrush's jacket is actually accurate to the game. And it took forever...

WOW! These are absolutely excellent! Well done!
:D

I think the TMI one is my favourite.
:)

[a3HeadedMonkey]

These are brilliant! :D

[coolsome]

the EMI one is the cutest!

[jeeno0142]

They are great! Are those googley eyes that your using for the last three? (I love googley eyes, they're so fun and googley)!

[shovell]

That's incredible, I love it when people do things like this...

[Irishmile]

Those things rock...

[Captain Mickey]

I want ToMI!Guybrush :D

[Silverwolfpet]

Obvious question: How much for any of these? :D

My only problem is that the first three shouldn't be 3D. I want accuracy! DEFY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS! BE YOUR OWN BOSS! SCREW NEWTON! REPENT![/rant]

Yeah. I couldn't see anything wrong with them either. Can I have one? For free?[/beg]

[Macfly77]

They are simply superb! Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Now, if you feel like sharing the figures themselves, I will happily take them off your hands! ;)

[Silverwolfpet]

ME! WANT! NAU!
Sorry, I'm not as subtle as Tom or MacFly77...

[fionastaples]

Amazing! So cute!

[Hyperactive German Guybrush]

Those are adorable and oddly huggable-looking. Squee!

[SubSidal]

Wow!! They're really awesome!

[Sira Raven]

Thanks so much! I'm really glad everyone likes them. :)

They are great! Are those googley eyes that your using for the last three? (I love googley eyes, they're so fun and googley)!
Yeah, those are googly eyes on the last three - I first tried to give them the same basic black-yarn-in-a-knot eyes that I gave the first two, but they looked sort of creepy that way...O.o So, yeah, googly eyes!

Oh no! I can't believe I missed that! Stupid third dimension, always getting in the way...

[anthalont]

I think the Campaign for Equal Heights would like to have a word with you... :p

np: Pawel - Crillon (Pawel)

[Symbermine]

The Curse and Tales ones are cute!

I've been avoiding this thread up until now since I thought it was about croquet*, and it just seemed pretty random. I'm glad I finally had a look at it though, because those look absolutely awesome. I love things like these and and Avistew's plushes. Really makes me wish I had skills beyond basic fabric repair.

* Crochet and croquet are pretty similar words in English (while the Norwegian hekling and krokket are easily distinguishable), and neither are in my day to day English vocabulary.

[Ghost82]

Woah, I'd definitely buy one!!!!! So nice!

Haha, don't worry, I had the same thought! :p

They're brilliantly done! So cute, and so jealous I don't have 5 little Guybrushes. :(

[nemesis1221]

hooooooooooo, i want to make one!

(this night nemesis try to make one, but the ``failed experiment´´ fly out the window...)

[tana]

Very creative!

[Avistew]

Awesome! They look great. I can't crochet to save my life so I'm really impressed. Especially considering how accurate they are (I knit stuff, but I tend to turn them into caricatures or chibi version or something, so I don't care about stuff like proportions).

So, love them, thanks for sharing ^_^.
