Anyone that knows me personally or is my friend on the Playstation Network is fully aware of the depths of my recent foray into the First Person Shooter excellence that is Battlefield Bad Company 2. The game is amazingly fun and a heck of a challenge, but almost since day one of playing, I was convinced many of the soldier classes needed to be reproduced in Amigurumi form. The Russian engineer is the first I have done but I plan to finish others as time allows. On my to-do list is the American Recon (wookie), Assault (either side) and the Russian Medic. I’m not posting a pattern for the time being since it is fairly long and I think demand will be very low if at all existant. My Russian engy is complete with amigurumi land mines for taking out enemy vehicles and a Karl Gustav rocket launcher for settling the hashes of pesky tanks and helicopters.

Because every Big Daddy needs a Little Sister to protect, and since it was requested and hinted many times by my awesome readers, I whipped up an amigurumi Little Sister for my Big Daddy. I took notes and will be publishing the pattern shortly but haven’t time to try to make sense of all the cryptic scrawlings together yet. It was just too exciting to hold off on posting the photos.

Her clothes and hair are in the style of the Bioshock 2 Little Sister, and though I think there is still some tweaking to do, I am pretty happy with it. The Adam needle is a separate piece with a yarn needle stuck in the end. I didn’t give her a face, because I thought about it and decided that anything embroidered or applied was likely to look cartoony and not as eerie and vacant as the Little Sisters are. Not having a face I think, speaks to the altered uniform states all of them are in, not really there at all. She’s not aged or bloodied, to match her Big Daddy, true to a yarn representation of something messy, bloody, dirty and worn, but made of yarn, so none of those things.

The pattern will be coming in a few days.

I’m wanting to go on a videogame themed amigurumi bender, and I’d like to hear from the masses. I get a lot of positive feedback from folks along the lines of “I’ve been looking for a free pattern for this guy!” or gleeful statements of that sort… which makes me wonder, what other sorts of bizarre, obscure and awesome characters are people looking and waiting for?

So riddle me this, what characters or game themes would you like to get a free Amigurumi pattern for? I’ll pick one and do it up to the best of my ability then post it free. Please leave a comment or tweet me or something along those lines

In other news, I am getting all social with a facebook fan page (you can join by clicking the buttonmajigg to the right, no pressure or anything… just saying is all ) and twitterings… come join me yes? So it’s not just a big empty room with like my mom sitting in the corner.
