making this for my fiance for valentines day (he guessed what it was as soon as i said it was a majestic dragon so it's not a surprise or anything lol)
WIP- should be done in a few days- i just have to do the lettering at the bottom =D it's on an entire 15"x18" 18ct piece of aida so it turned out quite large eheehee^^;
used about 3 skeins of 310 so far ;P i love it's simplicity though

1. draw an S

2. draw a more different S

3. close it up real good at the top of his head.

4. using consummate Vs, draw some teeth and some angry eyebrows. CONSUMMATE Vs!

5. add smoke or fire

6. add some wings- he's a wing-a-ling dragon.

7. one beefy arm- for good measure

8 name him TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR! he shall burninate the countryside and burninate the peasants and their thatched-roof cottages. THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!


-ok i'm done ;P

LOL I knew what this was gonna be before I saw it ^^

Looks so good that it doesn't look like cross stitch (to me)! Lovin' all your consummate V's and the one beefy arm too :P

May Trogdor burninate your thatched roof cottage. :P

i am thinking of leaving it as it is because it's already enormous

or maybe doing some smaller lettering under the fire.... hmmms

Well, adding the lettering won't really make it any bigger, it just means a little more time til it's done :P If it was me making this, I would definately add the TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR, but that's just me lol. You have a week til Valentine's Day so you do have some time to decide :P

Also, will you be framing it or doing something else with it?

TROGDOR! Haha, I love this!! I haven't seen Trogdor in years!! This brought back so many good memories... Ahh, singing that song with a good friend of mine in science class... Can't wait to see it finished!

Awesome~~~! I was actually thinking about making some Homestar Runner-themed cross-stitchings recently... I love those cartoons.
