Steen's home of the certainly strange
Apparently I have a zillion different things I’m working on simultaneously, and I’m like not even close to finished with any of them, so allow me to provide yet another update on the Pac Man Peysa! I mean, I am pretty excited about this. And it is looking more and more recognizable as it progresses…
The progress on this sweater has been going so slow mainly due to my rediscovering Morrowind. As if you couldn’t tell that I’d started playing again…
OK so for once I decided not to do a Morrowind comic. I’ve started working on an Oblivion comic instead!
Let’s just say, the tutorial portion of Oblivion left me feeling… unenthusiastic about everything. Not to mention everybody was just so uncanny-valley ugly that I couldn’t even look at the characters without throwing up. So Oblivion-Steen was sassy, rude, bored, and didn’t even lift a finger to try and defend the Emperor.
That couldn’t dampen the emperor’s cheer, however, oh noo. He was still as chipper as ever while he yammered on to Steen about portents and dreams and destiny. Steen told him on several occasions to “can it,” because she didn’t care about gods or fate. The guards snapped at Steen to show more respect to the emperor, and she said she didn’t care because his government put her in prison. Frustratingly, the emperor told his guards to lay off Steen because he liked her because he had a dream about her. Neither the guards nor Steen understood why he put up with her while keeping such a sunny disposition.
When the cultist burst in and killed him, Steen didn’t even look up from cleaning her nails. Unsurprisingly, the guard (correctly) guessed that she was a professional assassin. Welp, I guess we know why she was in prison in the first place.
To be honest, if it wasn’t for that weird horny guy in the cell across the hall always hooting and hollering at her, Steen probably would have asked the guards just to put her back in her cell. Although, I guess her cell now has a gaping hole in the wall, so they probably wouldn’t put her in the same cell.
I’ve finally finished the lower torso on my husband’s Pac Man Peysa, so at last I’ve been able to start the sleeves!
So far, so good. I like the strawberry 🙂
The lower torso is always the longest, most boringest part for me with lopapeysas because it is just the same stitch in the same color foreeeeever. And I guess it didn’t help that I spent all my time playing Morrowind rather than knitting. Oh, well.
Doc’s designs have gone through several iterations, and I believe it is still changing. But by the time I get to the yoke, I’m sure he’ll have it finalized.
Here are some of the versions…
