Admin Post: One commission slot open, going fast!

   Posted by: voxmortuum   in General Update

So my gallbladder’s acting up; I moved to a strict diet of bunny food, no greasy meats, no dairy last night and that’s helping but I’m still so sore I can’t really sit up for any length of time.

But I can still crochet laying down, and I’ve got an enforced 3 day weekend to work with.

So I’m offering a commission slot to replace my lost wages for the day. If you’re interested and able, please go ahead and shoot me an email about it: voxmortuum AT gmail.com

I thank you in advance. :)

Reno – Advent Children/Final Fantasy VII

   Posted by: ethanmackuin   in Dolls & Projects, Tribute Works

Reno is a prominent member of the Turks, ranking directly below Tseng, whose main weapon is a retractable, metallic stun baton called an Electro-Mag Rod. He is characterized as cocky, cynical, and somewhat lazy, but is highly skilled and takes pride in his work. Reno’s partner and friend is Rude, and they are seen accompanying each other throughout the Compilation. In Final Fantasy VII, Reno is rivals with Cloud and the party who is fought on several occasions; however, in one instance he willingly teamed up with them to rescue Elena and Yuffie after they have been kidnapped by Don Corneo. After this incident, Reno’s group receives new orders to search for Cloud, but Reno decides not to fight Cloud on the pretext of being off duty. When he reappears in Advent Children, Reno possesses no hostility towards the group. In the film, Reno acts under Rufus’ orders, aiding Cloud and understanding Shinra’s part in the near-destruction of the world, though also expresses that he wants Shinra rebuilt. Like the other Turks and Rufus, Reno appears in the novella “Case of Shinra”, where he attempts to rescue the kidnapped Rufus and shows his discontent with the Turks from Before Crisis leaving Shinra and moving on with their lives. In Before Crisis, Reno is a teammate to the player and is the main focus of the game’s chapter “Special Episode of Reno”, in which he was trapped in an elevator shaft. He also has brief appearances during Last Order with the other Turks, noting Tseng’s serious demeanor and giving no opinion on Zack and Cloud’s escape, remarking that the Turks will accomplish any mission regardless of its nature. Reno is encountered once during Crisis Core after Genesis copies invade Midgar, waiting for Tseng’s orders to move out, and later appears in a DMW phase “Heart Image”. Near the end of the game, Reno is revealed to have been one of the Turks sent by Tseng to find Zack. He is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara in Japanese and Quinton Flynn in English.

   Posted by: voxmortuum   in General Website

I’ve been sick lately and had some family dramas (tis the season, of course) so I’ve sucked and not had things posted in a timely fashion. Well, I’m going to try and schedule tons of stuff tonight so that they unspool nicely throughout the upcoming uncomfortableholidays.

Soon I’m hoping to post free crochet patterns for:

Chuchu from Revolutionary Girl Utena
Organization 13 characters from Kingdom Hearts
The Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7
Optimus Prime from Transformers
Still more original work

Stick around; you’ll see some fun stuff. :)

Matt – Death Note

   Posted by: ethanmackuin   in Dolls & Projects, Tribute Works

Matt, whose real name is Mail Jeevas, is a consort of Mello’s. A character in the manga and anime versions, Matt was also a former resident of Wammy’s orphanage; Ohba described him as the “third most talented member” of the house. Matt is Mello’s helper as Matt performs espionage work and acts as an accomplice in Takada’s kidnapping, which results in his death when he is shot by Takada’s bodyguards. He is voiced by Tomohiro Nishimura in the Japanese anime and by Drew Nelson in English dub.

According to How to Read, Matt enjoys video games and isn’t outgoing. He also seems to be a chain smoker. He uses his last breath to smoke his cigarette. He is also behind Near and Mello in succeeding L.

Ohba said that he created Matt because when Mello started to act alone Ohba believed that he would find difficulty in advancing the story unless Mello had a character to interact with. Ohba said that to a reader Matt may appear to play video games and have no other actions, but he said that Matt’s existence was “important” in the story. In response to a question inquiring about which characters the creators had the most difficulty creating, Ohba cited Matt and said “I didn’t even know what kind of person he was!”

Obata said that he did not receive advance notice regarding Matt, who had the character concept of “a young man who loves gaming and doesn’t really care much about the world.” Obata said that he remembered seeing the thumbnails and asking his editor “Who’s this character?!” The thumbnails gave Matt a bowl haircut and goggles; Obata instead drew “what I liked.” Obata added that he could “create Matt naturally” as he had a “he probably won’t do much” mentality regarding characters introduced in the Near and Mello arc. His birthday is February 1, 1990.

Bowel Disruptor – Transmetropolitan

   Posted by: ethanmackuin   in Dolls & Projects, Tribute Works

Spider’s weapon of choice for most of the series is a handheld “bowel disruptor,” which causes instant and painful loss of bowel control, with various settings that allow him to vary the level of pain and discomfort the device will inflict, ranging from simple diarrhea to complete rectal prolapse. At a much harsher level, the victim has a bowel movement so dramatic and agonizing that it induces unconsciousness. While at least three times in the series, it is revealed through dialogue that the gun can be set to ‘Fatal Intestinal Maelstrom’. Spider prefers this weapon because, despite being illegal, it is (usually) non-lethal and its effects are untraceable. His assistants, Channon and Yelena, have also been armed with bowel disruptors during The Cure arc.

From the Wikipedia

This is the bowel disruptor which is a weapon most often wielded by Spider Jerusalem in the comic Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis. It is created to be life sized and is made entirely of yarn and stuffing. The dial on the sides even turns!

Sephiroth – Advent Children

   Posted by: ethanmackuin   in Dolls & Projects, Tribute Works

Sephiroth is a fictional character and main antagonist in Square’s role-playing game Final Fantasy VII. He was designed by character designer Tetsuya Nomura and is characterized as a tall man with long silver hair. His appearance was intended to contrast directly with that of the main character, Cloud Strife. Sephiroth’s English-language voice actor is Lance Bass in Kingdom Hearts and George Newbern in all other appearances. His Japanese-language voice actor is Toshiyuki Morikawa, although Shin-ichiro Miki voiced the character in Ehrgeiz.

In Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth serves as the primary antagonist who attempts to become a god by absorbing the planet’s energy. He has also made appearances in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, Kingdom Hearts series, and Dissidia: Final Fantasy.

Sephiroth has been well-received within the video game community due to his complex motivations and his iconic appearance, particularly his extremely long sword, Masamune. As a result, he is regularly featured in top positions on many “best villain” lists and character polls assembled by game publications and fans.

Spider Jerusalem – Transmetropolitan

   Posted by: ethanmackuin   in Dolls & Projects, Tribute Works

Spider Jerusalem is a fictional character and the protagonist of the comic book Transmetropolitan, created by writer Warren Ellis and artist Darick Robertson, introduced under the now-defunct Helix imprint of DC Comics before being moved to the Vertigo imprint.

Spider is a renegade gonzo journalist forced to return to The City after having exhausted a substantial advance from a publisher without completing the books required by contract. After five years of effective retirement as a long-haired hermit in a compound in the mountains, he returns to The City to complete the books, takes up work for an urban newspaper to support his writing, and finds himself battling political corruption at the highest level.

A Page A Day

Welcome to my blog! Here I'll be posting my original crochet patterns for FREE, one page at a time each day. I'll also be posting pictures of my Tribute dolls and original work to add to my portfolio.

Each crochet pattern page that I post will be a image that is watermarked to keep my content safe, but my goal is that each page be utterly clear and usable. I want my readers happy first and foremost.

If you would like the convenience of downloading a pdf file or if you enjoy my work and would like to tip me, feel free to buy a pattern or two. My original patterns will generally be priced $5-$7 before I post them on this blog for free, and $3 afterward.

Any patterns made for Tribute characters will be completely free and never sold for any price, because I make these dolls as fan art and do not own their copyrights.

Keep this blog bookmarked or join the feed -- every day will bring something new. :) And if you want my full out crochet-addict blog (also updated daily or thereabouts), it's called Gonzo H**ker.com.
