Street Fighter IV: El Fuerte Amigurumi

Tiffany — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 21:21:07 +0000

Long overdue post! This is an amigurumi project I finished earlier this year. Here is El Fuerte from Street Fighter 4! This was a commission for my friend Adam, who plays Fuerte as his main character. Continue reading to see the progress of the project.

I started with his head. This was the painful moment when I realized that I had been crocheting the wrong way all along. All of my projects so far have been crocheted inside out! *Aw man* So I started the head again but at least now I know the right way to do it! (yay for learning from mistakes!)

Got the head right this time and put in the eyeballs!

Body complete.

Hardest part was getting the luchador mask right!

All the parts are ready to be fused together! muahaha *mad scientist moment* Sketched design plan in the background.

Project complete! I decided to give El Fuerte an extra frying pan as an accessory.

I like the stars on the butt! The extra yarn there is to hold the frying pan on Fuerte which is removable.

It’s super dynamic cooking time!

Thanks for looking!

Street Fighter IV: Ryu Amigurumi

Hey everyone! February was a super busy month for me! I was kept occupied with birthdays (including mine!), Valentine’s, Chinese New Year and the Olympics! This is an Amigurumi crochet doll that I recently made for my boyfriend’s birthday present. It’s his favourite character from the game ‘Street Fighter IV’, Ryu! Unfortunately I forgot to take progress shots while making this guy but here are some shots of my planning and a sketch of how I pictured it to look!

I took a bunch of Ryu drawings from the internet for reference.

Here’s the sketch that I came up with!

Here’s a full body shot of how the doll turned out. I’m very happy with it! The headbands, gloves and robe are all removable too.

HADOUKEN!!! Hope you like it! ^_^

Crafty Christmas!

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! I sure did! :) So much for posting more in December though. I certainly did not expect the month to be as busy as it was, I guess I forgot how hectic the holiday season can become!

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I have been working on some little crafty projects! I decided to make Christmas presents for a few of my friends this year because I’ve always thought handmade gifts were more thoughtful than buying them. I taught myself how to crochet just to make these gifts. It wasn’t very hard to learn, although it was very time consuming at first. The crafts that I made are called Amigurumi and it’s the Japanese art of crocheting animals out of yarn!

This is the first amigurumi that I made, an adorable baby seal! I gave this one to my lovely friend Arlene.

I made this kitty cat for my friend Claire! I really love the whiskers. This was my second crochet project and it’s when I started to get the hang of things.

Sorry for the horrible quality photo, it was taken on my phone because I didn’t get a chance to take a proper picture of it before giving it to my friend Cass! She’s a fan of zombies and the both of us always hang out and kill zombies together! >:)

If you are interested in making crafts like these, here are the two books that I used to make them. The first is called ‘Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts!: Amigurumi’ and there some very adorable animals in there. The second is ‘Creepy Cute Crochet: Zombies, Ninjas, Robots, and More!’ which I referenced/altered to make the zombie.

Another extremely helpful resource I used is the website ‘Hooks and Needles‘. It was really good in explaining certain crochet methods to a newbie like me! Also, I bought all of my yarn/eyes from Michaels craft store and I found some super cheap crochet needles from a dollar store. Good luck if you plan on trying this!
