Neatoramanaut Nikki of Pig Corner is both an avid gamer and a talented crafster. She combined the two by making fantastic video game-inspired sackboys.
Her website is full of nifty crocheted characters, but I particularly like this one above of Kratos from God of War. Best of all, her website has tutorials if you want to make your own: http://pigcorner.com/ - Thanks Nikki!
