Pocket Fighter akuma is DONE!! (PAGE 4)

[Holder of Anime]

May I just say that this project is INSANE!

I love the graphic (the chibi style is adorable as well)- will you be framing it when (eventually) finished, or perhaps using it on something else?

Anyway, keep up the good work- it's very inspiring for us stitchers!!

Love it so far! xx

thanks DigiPep

yeah im not to sure what im gonna do once its done!
will be framing though just to protect it.

also thanks for the inspiring comment! it was only a year or so that i started doing this and i used everyones stuff on spritestitch to motivate myself to always try something bigger and better.

Nice to see you back, Holder of Anime! Hope LilMissFirefly is well too!
Love the Pocket Fighter stitching, it's really come on since last time you uploaded a pic!! Well done, but keep it up!

Also...

me and my girlfriend got signed up by a small cross stitch company to make a few designs for a new book coming out in the new year!!

...how did you get involved in that? I'm sure a lot of peeps 'round here would love to know! ^^

sorry for the long delay on replying but believe me its not as good as it sounds!!

will message you because it involves alot of details that cant go into here.

will just say to everyone else BE CAREFUL!

I can't wait to see this one finished

ummm 87 i think?
Akuma has 5 skin tones and the large zombie face has 10 different colours on his face!
here is a pic of whats left over from the colours ive done so far:

Spoiler

its not as much as you would think but thats because most were used up on the picture. id say im gonna use around 100 or so to finish this one
not to sure on how to store colours after im done with them.

also if anyone out there knows of a good cheap and reliable online store for DMC's can you let me know.

need another 10 colours to finish this (a few are mutliple skeins) and the store i bought them from for a year now have put the prices up to £1.24 per skein!! ($1.94)

hi everyone ive been working on this alot over the past few days and feel that ive done enough for an updated picture!!

Was waiting around for a week because i ordered the last set of colours online so i made another picture. only a silly one but ill post it later because i left it somewhere and i cant seem to find it

well feel free to comment like always because reading the comments you leave makes me wanna finish this even more
poor image because it was taken from my phone:


i want to get this finished in the next few weeks so im aiming for around 1000 stitches a day!
dont sound alot but im up and working from 5am everyday so stitching after work is hard when you cant focus

[faewren]

And I thought 4900 stitches was bad. Holy crap you outdo me by a LOT.

It looks great tho!

4900 is still alot! i just seem to always endup making large pictures

[blackmageheart]

i just seem to always endup making large pictures

I have a bad habit of choosing things that end up being larger than I thought they would, lol.

Great work so far though, it's gonna look so sweet when it's done!! ^^

Btw, you mentioned in a previous post about needing to find an online store that sells DMC reasonably cheaply? I was wondering if you found one yet... if not, I can recommend Enchanted Needle, Across Town Stitching and Sew and So - through ebay or on their websites

i used the happy stitcher in the end, the order came a week after ordering but was only £13.40 for 22 skeins so i think that was good!

ive already decided on my new picture so i wanna finish this by valentines day so i have around 12000 stitches left so 1000 a day for 12 days! easy
