One of the best parts of character design is the possibility of seeing how they translate into other mediums, how they can be adapted and represented without losing any of their characteristics.
Duende de los Hilos crea amigurumis personalizados. Normalmente, se usan como regalo, tomando como ejemplo el parecido de cualquier persona. Lo que más nos gustó del trabajo de Silvia fue la personalidad que tienen todos sus muñequitos, sin excepción, además del uso de un esqueleto de alambre que permite muchos posados. Nos pusimos en contacto con ella para presentar el proyecto y pedir presupuesto. Al final, decidimos encargar sólo la "base" de los amigurumis y coser después sus trajes. Durante un mes, pudimos ver poco a poco cómo Zem, Vahl y Aury iban cobrando forma. Tras un largo viaje, por fin pudimos verlos y empezar con el proceso de vestuario.
Duende de los Hilos creates personalized amigurumis. People normally buy them as a gift for a person. What we liked the most about Silvia's work was the charm of every one of her dolls and that she uses a wire skeleton so you can pose them. I contacted her to talk about the project and ask about the price. I decided to just commission the "base" of the amigurumis and then sew their outfits. They took a month to be done and I was able to see Zem, Vahl and Aury coming to life. After a long journey, I could finally see them and start the sewing process.
Lo más complicado fue encontrar la forma de adaptar las túnicas de cuero de Zem y Vahl, quedando en usar fieltro para el primero y un forro polar del revés para el segundo.
The most complicated part was Zem and Vahl's leather tunics, using felt for the first one and polar fabric for the other.
Aury fue la primera, debido a la sencillez de su ropa. Se usó la muñeca para marcar los patrones y se descubrió que el tamaño es perfecto para usar patrones más básicos. Toda la ropa está cosida a mano y se han añadido pequeños detalles para trasladar fielmente los trajes del dibujo a la tela. Aury tiene un vestido y un guardapolvo. Las botas son de vinilo elástico.Aury was the first one since her outfit is the simplest. The doll was used to make the patterns. Their size is perfect for using less intrincated patterns. All the clothes are hand-sewn and small details have been added to truthfully adapt the outfits from drawing to fabric. Aury wears a dress and a smock. The boots were made with elastic vynil fabric.
Zem was the second. With him and Vahl, we started with the clothes that were closer to the body and completed the outfit from inside to outside. For example, the first part were the pants, then the boots, etc. Zem's tunic was quite a challenge. I made a basic pattern and drew all the little pieces that conform it and marked their colors to create a puzzle. The patterns were cut and each one of them was cut in felt as well. Since I couldn't find the perfect brown felt, we dyed a skin-colored felt with acrylic paint and water, getting some great texture. The pieces were sewn together with some stitches, to make the tunic. The rest of the outfit was made of elastic fabrics.
Vahl lleva una sobrevesta muy compleja, con el dibujo de una hoja. Se usó tela polar para poder bordar todos los detalles y dar la impresión de un cuero blando. Al igual que Zem, el resto también son diferentes telas elásticas.Vahl wears a complex tunic with the stems of a leave. I used polar fabric so we could embroider the details and get a soft leather effect. Just like Zem, Vahl's outfit was made with elastic fabrics.
And here they are! I'm so happy with the outcome, since I had wanted to commission something special with Zem's characters for a while. Now let's go on an adventure!
