I just got an email from Matt (Loki) from Orangeloungeradio.com who followed the guide and made himself a rather ace looking Sackboy. Nice work dude!

Sackboy at Bestival

Just thought that I’d post a few pictures of the Sackboy at Bestival. As you can see it wasn’t clean for long!

Wow! It’s been pretty busy around here!

This is just a quick note to say that I’m amazed and delighted to see that since launching the site 5 days ago things seems to have been nice and busy with visitors from all over the world.

I’ve been running Google Analytics and the stats are as follows since going live on the 10th of September:

Visits 1,058
Absolute Unique Visitors 1,007
Pageviews 1,724

Ok, I appreciate that these aren’t exactly huge numbers but I’m chuffed that folk are finding the site useful!

So, what is this game then?

Thought that I should post a video for anyone who is wondering what this costume is based on…

I got some love from Media Molecule!

Well blow me down! I got linked up by Media Molecule themselves on their site:

Not only did Adam make a sweet sackboy costume for the bestival festival, but he took it a step further and wrote it all down at makeasackboy.com so you can recreate, modify and maybe improve (giant zip anyone?) the outfit yourself.

Top crafting!

Hello! I made a Sackboy!

Hi there! This is a site that documents one web designer’s quest to make a Sackboy costume for a festival.

A Sackboy is a character from a game called Little Big Planet that is coming out for the PS3 quite soon (I think). I made it because it’s quite cute and gave me the opportunity to actually make something in 3D which I rarely have as a web designer.

I’ve documented the process in some detail in case other people wanted to have a go too. My instructions should be fairly easy to follow as I’m not overly technical and the build is well with most people’s grasp without any fancy tools.

Hopefully when my mates recover from Bestival I should have some more pictures to stick up here to show the finished article as I ignored advice from a certain studio mate of mine and didn’t take many shots of the outfit before it got really muddy but there’s enough for you to build your own on these pages.

Cheers!

Adam
