I want to request a pattern for the following picture, but since it isn't video game-related, I assume that this would be the correct place to post it... ANYWAY, help would be much appreciated
** On a side note, if it would be possible to post the pattern as a .pdf .png or .bmp file, that would be great ^_^

How large do you want the actual cross stitch to be?
I can make one but it will be gigantic based on that image but I can resize it accordingly.

Don't worry about the subject matter, just put all requests in the requests forum.

First of all, thanks to servotron for moving it to the correct forum

, took me a little while to find it when I checked for responses this morning though lol. And as for size, if the completed project was 8 x 10 or smaller, that would be amazing

A rule of thumb (tho i LOVE this picture lol) jpeg has artifacts that will always show up because it's a condensed file. .bmp .gif .png these files work alot better because they dont get artifacts (rarely).
Great transfer Riot! But that is alot of colors (due to the .jpeg) (this is just constructive note! please dont attack me with stitching needles! >.<) Tho I've never tried to condense a picture size I'm gonna try with this one cuz someone else already posted the pattern =D

many thanks riotpatch!! Not only is it a great pattern, you also did it incredibly fast, so now I should have no downtime between my current stitch and getting started on this new profect
Oh, and nyami, thanks for the advice, I'll remember this for the next time I make a pattern request! AND, I promise not to attack you with stitching needles haha

You didn't specify in the post and jpegs will always be a lot of colours.
Well, someone else here might know how.
My experience with reducing colours is that it looks very wonky as the chart generator pick colours in a certain way.
There are a bunch of light greys along the outline that might not be needed but those colours seem to be chosen first.
Hopefully someone else is more knowledgeable than me, sorry. =[

I'm sorry that I wasn't more specific, I just had no idea that this picture could in any way turn into 42 colors lol. I still thank you for the time that you spent making this pattern for me, and be advised that I will try to figure out the color schemes in this one if nobody else can help with my problem. Again, much appreciation goes out to you riotpatch
