very first ... everything

I've been lurking for awhile, gathering ideas and tons of inspiration from everything I've seen here, and now I'd like to try a hand at it myself.

I am new to cross-stitching, but would very much like to get into it, as it seems video game art is "easy" to do with it. It's my 3 year anniversary with my partner this August and I would like to present him with a geeky gift. I was wondering if someone could transform this image into a cross stitch pattern for me, pdf (or jpg with thread list) preferred as I do not have the appropriate programs to open the other pattern files.

if it is at all possible to add the words 'i choose you' underneath (all lowercase letters) that would be awesome!
[edit]
after checking out the 'sample request thread' (my bad for not checking it first) I would like to add that the size I'd like to ask for is 1 pixel = 1 stitch. I have no idea how large that would make the finished product or anything, and as for # of colors, well as many as it takes for the sprites I've chosen.

Welcome to cross stitching - beware, it's INCREDIBLY addictive; before you know it you'll have a closet full of supplies and stacks of projects lined up! :yahoo:

Happy Stitching!!

Oh yes, I believe it's addicting lol, just for the few days I spent lurking, I've been building up a 'to-do' list in my head a mile long. It helps that I work at a craft store, supplies at a discount? You bet!

*Gasp* I'm so jealous!! Although, it's probably good I don't work at a craft store - I would just end up taking my paycheck in trade :)
