Sack Mac Feegle (Custom Discworld "Daft Wullie" Sackboy)
Finished up my latest custom Sackboy project tonight! Say hi to Daft Wullie, the first ever Sack Mac Feegle! He is approximately 8.5” tall.
For the non-Discworld fans out there, Nac Mac Feegles are little blue fairies from Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books set in his Discworld. They are 6 inches tall, proudly illiterate, fond of drinking, fighting, and stealing, and speak with heavy Scots accents. They are a bit of a cross between the fellows in Braveheart and the brownies in Willow.
Here is the reference image I used of Daft Wullie as sculpted by kick butt artist Paul Kidby.
And here is the Sackboy body before I added the hair and kilt:
ETA: Side view of nekkid doll!
ETA (again): Here is a link to my Sackboy head pattern at Google Docs. I cannot ethically post the pattern for the body since that hasn't been changed significantly from RichmondArt's commercial pattern on Etsy, but hopefully this head will give you a good start. It's my 4th version, and I think I finally have it right. :)

I used RichmondArt's Crochet Sackboy pattern ($5.50 from Etsy) for the arms, and modified it slightly to make the body and legs.
