Regular tape might not hold them for long. It was fun to do. Can't wait to fill up the entire monitor! I happen to work in a paper factory with tons of double sided tape But if nothing else I will find a small make shift stand to display them. I dont trust myself with glue, and not sure how tape will do.........Imma look into it, but I dont wanna risk screwing up my little guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeganJoanne | 365 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Finally finished a stitch I started a few months ago, dragon statue with crystal ball from Dragon Warrior III, for ookii_risu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeganJoanne | 365 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Finished stitching some things for ookii_risu, early birthday gifts, in addition to the Mappy cat and the Dragon Warrior III statue in the previous posts, also stitched 7 more Final Fantasy IV characters to accompany ones I had already stitched some months ago for her, and a special custom request, the Hamburger Helper hand, the Zesty Italian / Cheesy Italian meal version. So my girlfriend has a really bizarre obsession with this Hamburger Helper dude. It took a lot of work, but I am really super happy with how he turned out, and most of all she loves it. Happy early birthday me love. Original image used to create the cross-stitch: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeganJoanne | 365 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Ooh, totally forgot, also stitched a few other things I didn't yet post. Two sports related NHL ice hockey logos, The Penguins and the Black Hawks. Found both as pattern in a google search, the Black Hawks one was stitched as is, but I edited the one for the Penguins. Both of these were turned into magnets at $20 each. Oh, and player 2 Bad Dude for Jeevan, based on my custom Bad Dude sprite, editing the colors to make him different from the first one, even though on the NES they are wearing the same color clothes and look identical. So that is it, for now, but do have more to show soon once I stitch them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger they are the more time it takes and more they will cost. Just let me know what you want and I'll take a look at it, then we can go from there.

MeganJoanne | 365 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Huge stitch that would run somewhere around $42-$50+ (I charge 2 cents per X-stitch and round up a dollar or few depending on how much material I use and this one would take a lot more than the usual), depending on the animation frame you pick and how many pixels it involves stitching. You'd have to provide an accurate sprite for me, I can't very easily run arcade games on my laptop. I don't often do sprites stitched this large, but have done a few, but it takes a very long time. Example one I found: By comparison working on a rather large one now but is much easier do to using only a few colors, but I've put in many hours on it. And I have done a couple even bigger than this, ones I can't show because they are gifts for someone, but they had exceeded 2000 stitches each, but also, NES sprites, less colors, less complex, but still took me many days, spending a few hours each day on. And they were sold for $40 each. So if you are serious about wanting the Ninja Warriors female ninja, I can do, just know it will take a while to finish and will be a hefty price. And the size of this sprite once stitched will be nearly 6 and a half inches tall! Edited May 10, 2020 by MeganJoanne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the size of this sprite once stitched will be nearly 6 and a half inches tall! Yes that's the one. Although i'd rather have a more "walking" pose with the both legs prostrate. The thing is the colors though and all the shades. Could you cover 3-4 shades of single colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeganJoanne | 365 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 If you can find the pose you want then perhaps. As for covering all those very similar colors, I think I can, that is something I'd have to find out when going through all of my floss and seeing if what I can find will look good once stitched. Also at the moment time available could play a part in whether I can do or not because I have a lot of stuff going on. But if you can get me the pic of her you want stitched then I'll take the time when I can to look over it and then can give you a more sure answer.
