Hello, spritestitch! I've been lurking for ages but *gulp* this is my first post. I've picked up so many wonderful tips and ideas from you all so I wanted to finally contribute something.
This took me right around a week to complete. It would have taken a bit less but after completing the wizard I realized I wasn't happy with the skin color called for in the pattern so I had to take it all apart and redo it. I still need to iron and frame it but overall I'm happy with the way it turned out Thanks for looking!

Nice job! I just did "Master Using It and You Can Have This" a few days ago and I was gonna post it soon, but I'll wait a little bit. Did you find the black fabric difficult to deal with? I had a tough time with it

If you're having issues with black fabric, I would suggest getting one of those craft light you hook to your hoop/frame. I'm working with black fabric currently and I had the same issue so I got this:

Its only 15$ and it helped me tremendously. I don't have issues finding the holes in the fabric anymore.
The colors you chose for this project looks perfect escalante. You should really post your pattern with the updated colors!
Thank you so much! I would love to see the "Master Using It" you did...maybe it would make me reconsider my next project LOL
Unfortunately I don't know how to convert KG patterns to PDF but I'll attach the sth file with the updated colors. In total I tweaked the skin colors, the wood for the sword and the green in his outfit. The skin coloring was way too orange-y and the sword was too maroon.
I think I'm going to get that light Lileya linked for my next project. This was my first time working on dark fabric and it was a bit tricky at times but I can see that light really helping.
Thanks for looking!
