Saludos querida comunidad, hoy 13 de Julio se celebra el Día de las tejedoras, así que estoy feliz de compartir con ustedes mi primera participación en el Splinterlands Art Contest, este es un amigurumi inspirado en la carta del Luchador Tortisiano, en cual según la página oficial del juego, este es un luchador perteneciente a una raza civilizada que proviene del otro lado del mundo, siendo un personaje con naturaleza marina, que contiene la respiración por mucho tiempo bajo el agua y usa su caparazón como flotador, también es practicante de Artes marciales y tiene una lanza como arma. Desde que vi la carta me interesó hacer este guerrero tan poderoso.
Greetings dear community, today July 13th is the Day of the weavers, so I am happy to share with you my first participation in the Splinterlands Art Contest, this is an amigurumi inspired by the Tortisian Fighter card, which according to the page official of the game, this is a fighter belonging to a civilized race that comes from the other side of the world, being a character with a marine nature, who holds his breath for a long time underwater and uses his shell as a float, he is also a practitioner of Arts martial and has a spear as a weapon. Ever since I saw the card, I was interested in making this powerful warrior.

Proceso // Process
It took me six days to make this amigurumi that measures 20 cm, for this I used 1.25mm acrylic yarn and crochet hook, wire for the internal structure and antiallergic acrylic fiber filling. I started from head to toe. Making with green thread the four toes of the foot with 4 low points in a ring and three rows. I joined the fingers and continued making the foot and the instep, I decreased stitches to obtain a 12-point ankle. After making the two feet, continue making the legs with white, for this I increased to 24 single crochets and worked 22 rows, then joined the legs and made 7 more rows, then change to brown and make 17 rows of single crochets to complete the torso.
For the arms I started making the fingers of the hands, joined the first four and then the thumb, continued until the height of the wrist, apart from that I made 4 single crochets in a ring and increased 3 stitches per row until obtaining 24, from there I divided the stitches for the forearm and biceps, making increases to achieve the muscles, then I sewed the hand. I made both arms and placed them on both sides, passing the wire of the structure inside them, stuffed with fiber and resumed the brown thread of the torso, continue making decreases and single crochets to make the shoulders and neck. Then I did augmentation to get the head.
To embroider the eyes I used two shades of yellow sewing thread and black thread. For the lines of the face I used acrylic yarn in a light edge color. For the shell I used an olive green thread, I started with a base of 6 chains, making 6 increases per row equidistantly until I got 82 stitches, I made the selvage stitches introducing a wire through the edge so that the shell maintains its shape. Then with light green thread I embroidered the lines of the shell. For the spear I used a toothpick inside a tube with 4 single crochets with light brown color, the tip of the spear was made with gray thread, while the decorative feathers of the spear were made with white thread.
Resultado / Result
I feel very satisfied with the result, my main objective was to achieve the resemblance to the character on the card, I loved making the muscular arms, as well as the lines of the face and the shell, it was a long job but very fun. I hope you like it as much as I do 🥰
