Pokemon Trainer

I finally have my first finish of 2012, Abysswolf's Pokemon Trainer! It's the largest piece I've done as yet and I'm happy with it despite some frogging and recolouring along the way. ♥

Pokemon Trainer Update XIII

I did a lot of frogging on this section. At first I was going with PCStitch's output. Then I decided the colours weren't constrasting enough. Eventually I only ended up changing one colour. There is something extra frustrating about frogging a colour only to restitch it with the exact same colour. >_> Greens are the worst. 

One wing down, one to go. ♥

I decided against participating in the current Sprite Stitch challenge. 64x64 is just too small for the ideas I had in mind. However, in my search for sprites for the challenge I found something I really want to start next. It will be a monochrome SNES piece. =]

April 2012 IHSW

Not too much hermitting for me this weekend but I stitched a good portion of Charizard's wing. The piece is over a foot tall now. ♥

I still haven't started the Sprite Stitch challenge for April-June. The size limit is only 64x64 which is very little space to work with. There's a lot of sprites I want to use but every pattern I make seems like there's too much going on in one area.

Pokemon Trainer & Wingless Charizard

It's been a long time since my last post. Replaying Mass Effect 2 and finishing Mass Effect 3 are my excuses. Only Charizard's wings are left to stitch and I'll have my first finish of the year. ♥

There is a new challenge up at Sprite Stitch and I think I will participate. I'm currently working on a few patterns. It's been awhile since I've done a challenge and part one is due at the end of April. I might have to put Trainer down until I finish the first part of the challenge. Cheers!

Pokemon Trainer Update X

It's hard to believe this is my tenth progress shot of Pokemon Trainer. It feels like I've been working on this forever yet there's so much more to stitch. >_> Good thing orange is one of my favourite colours.

I do want it to be my first finish of 2012. I'm already thinking about what to start next. Something small, definitely. SNES, maybe. =]
