So, it was Daniel's (one of my best friends) birthday.
I asked him, "Daniel, what do you want for your birthday?" As any good friend would ask.
His reply, "Make me a Grimlock."
My response, "-_____-"
For those of you who are unfamiliar, Grimlock is a Transformer. A T-Rex Transformer. Leader of the Dinobots. Here is a photo:
I had no idea how I was going to do this, but I started really putting my mind to it. Finally, after multiple attempts and headaches, I came out with this:
If I could do it over again there are some things I would change. For example, although this was the closest I could find to make the head, I would maybe want it more box like, and less like a lizard head. Also, the band of gold around the neck I would make thicker and switch the color in the stitch rather than what I actually did which was just wrap a bunch of gold yarn around it, lol.
But, all in all I was really impressed with how the legs came out especially, and the arms weren't all that bad either. The best part was that he actually stands up, which was a concern I had.
Grimlock is a one time deal though. It took entirely too long to even consider using for product.
Daniel asked me when I will be able to make him breathe fire.

Never.
