grant emerson weekend, day 3: Safe

[ID: Picture 1 is of a crochet doll of Grant Emerson (Damage) from DC lying down against a red background. He is wearing his blue JSA costume with the hood on, and orange boots. Picture 2 has the Grant Emerson doll held standing up. He is about the size of the hand in the picture. END ID]

my submission for grant emerson weekend :> i'm going to say it's for "safe" because i made him with the idea of sending him to a good home.

here he is contemplating a garden:

[ID: The Grant Emerson doll is held in a 3/4ths view in front of a window. In picture 1, he is in focus and the garden outside the window is out of focus. In picture 2, he is out of focus and the garden is in focus. END ID]

costume reference pics, process talk, and links to the patterns i referenced under the cut!

i didn't really have a plan when i went into this... i referenced these two crochet patterns: Batman from @vesnianka.toys and Spiderman by 53stitches. i made them smaller and placed the colors based on what my heart told me. i tried to write down my pattern as i went but i lost it around when i attached the arms.

the original idea was to crochet the orange parts of his costume, but i could not figure out how to crochet a triangle properly, so i went with felt. unfortunately, that means the color of the boots and the costume don't match.

1. This is a Safe For Work event. 1a. Grant Emerson, in all continuities, is a character who has themes of violence, abuse, and trauma. Fanworks that address these themes are 100% allowed. However, relevant warnings must be tagged, and keep in mind this is a SFW event: stick to depictions of those themes that you would see in a PG-13 movie, or in the G and T tags on Ao3. 2. No discriminatory fanwork will be reblogged or added to the collection. 3. Be nice to each other!
