sonic image complete

[Holder of Anime]

hey all

i took a break from my current project while i needed more colours and made this:



my girlfriend had a load of glow in the dark cotton left over so i put it in there just for the sake of it:



not a great picture but was taken on my phone

wanted to do a pic where it was sonic in the day and changed into the werehog at night!
this was far to hard and made my brain hurt so i just done the outline.

might do the cover art next time:

That looks great!!

Nicely done! I need to find some glow in the dark thread - is it just like normal DMC?

Yeah, does DMC make it? I'll have to look that up next time I shop for thread (hopefully Saturday!).

There are a few DMC glow in the dark threads.
The one time I used them, I found they are a bit cumbersome.
They are not exactly like regular cotton DMC threads.
They tended to fray a lot and are hard to thread.

I love your Sonic, by the way.
Great work. =]

yeah we used the DMC glow in the dark, for sonic and hello kitty, and both times we had a nightmare trying to control the stuff!!! it's very rewarding once it's done though, although after washing it my hello kitty glow faded a lot but sonic was washed a lot and as you can see, the glow is very nice and bright

Wow that is really cool.

thanks guys and girls for all the great replys!

i would never use glow in the dark stuff ever again because it just knots up every five stitches!!

it took just as long to do the outline as it did for the whole picture!

oh and the dimensions for the pic is ummmmm......... 5'x7' for sonic and its in a standerd A4 mount

ummm i think the one we used was: E940 - DMC Metallic Thread
altho i cant check because i got rid of it so im never tempted again!


this is how i feel about using it ever again

lol

[crazystrange]

yea the DMC glow in the dark thread is E940. usually sold next to the metallic threads, they also do some wicked flourescent yellow and green threads!!
