Mystery project

Post by AlisterNix »

I'm going to be a little secretive of the source idea for the project at this point, :sorry: but I'm proud of what I've done so far so here are the wip pictures.

Here are all the tech specs. The fabric is 22 ct Aida. Stitches are all single thread one over one. I'm going to be ripping out all the work I did last night as there is not enough contrast in my colors the keystones already have three colors and its almost impossible to even see two of them. Definitely more to come.

:die Wow that didn't take long. Yes, Bex it is in fact Nice Land from Wreck It Ralph. ....Does it still count for video games?.... I decided on ultimate insanity. My plan is to do the final credit crawl from Nice Land down into Hero's Duty and finishing in Sugar Rush. I'm thinking it is going to be three or 4 15" by 18'' canvases at least. Nice Land is going to be one canvas unto it's own and I dont know yet how the other games are going to plot out.

haha! Awesome! There is a game to accompany the film, so it definately counts! :D

Fantastic project! I'm looking forward to seeing you're updates and cheering you on! :clapping:

I haven't seen Wreck-It Ralph yet, so I was thinking this looked like the old arcade game Rampage. :P

That brick-and-window pattern is pretty distinctive, especially after the release of the movie on DVD and Blu-Ray recently. :grin:

Sounds like you have a pretty epic project in front of you, in every sense of the word! Can't wait to see how this progresses... Do you know yet what you'll be doing with it when you're done? Or is that too far in the future yet? :)

I was thinking of at least framing them, but that would be a little boring for something so epic. I know how to convert shadow boxes into scroll boxes which would be kind of neat especially when you work in flex paper photographs so it becomes a scrolling photo frame. My other idea is Japanese style shoji screens where the final credit crawls will be the center panels and it will be surrounded by other caps from the movie credits, (sf bonus level, sonic charge, dance party, doom Calhoun/Felix)
