For my brother's birthday I decided to make him a number of characters from the ngmoco/hand circus game Rolando 2 - Quest for the golden orchid. The original characters were designed by Mikko Walamies and can be seen here at the rolando 2 website

From left to right; the Floating Friend, Lord Derby Disraeli (royal treasurer), the King rolando, Major James Cardigan (royal spiky commando), Turgut Reiss (reformed pirate) and Mr Scruff, the DJ who made the music for the game. I posed them with a 30 cm ruler and a standard wine bottle to give you an idea of the scale. The small rolandos were patterned off a superball. The King was patterned off a lemon, and the Floating Friend from an orange. They are made out of polar fleece and/or corduroy, hand coloured and embroidered.

My brother took some (much nicer) photos which I have included just below:

The floating friend has two forms, the one I made was the huge floating sphere the friend becomes when he eats chilli.

 I hope you enjoy my interpretations of these rolandos.
