Megaman vs Cutman
I only just found sprite stitch a couple of days ago, I had no idea there were so many people out there doing this.
Here's one I did a few months ago.
I have a few more which I'll post up later but this is my best work to date, it's approx 9x7 inches and took a couple of months on and off after work.
Doing the grey almost drove me insane!
p.s. My avatar is made up of 3 longstitch pieces cut out and animated in image ready.

That's great! What kind of stitch is it? It doesn't look like a regular cross stitch. I like your avatar, too. I've never even heard of longstitch before...

This is long stitch, mine was just more uniform so as to adhere to the pixelated style.

I really like the long stitch aspect. You can get a bit bored of xs, so mixin it up with long would be fun to do. i would definitely like to see more of your work.

Wow! That is awesome! I love the colors.
Hmm... long stitch eh? do you still use aida cloth and regular thread? or is it yarn and and that... other kind of cloth...
It would be fun to try ^_^

Re: Megaman vs Cutman
And if it is regular thread on canvas, not plastic, how many strands of floss? It seems like you'd need a lot to be able to cover the space between the holes in aida, unless it's very high count.Celes_Lionheart wrote:do you still use aida cloth and regular thread?
I agree with everyone else, this looks fun to try. I've been reading up on different embroidery techniques lately. I really need to carve out time every day to work on my crafting hobbies.

it's all 6 strands over canvas I don't know what the count is, I cant remember.
I've only just recently found out about stripping threads, I had a terrible time trying to cross stitch using all 6 and quickly gave up so settled for the long stitch.
I'm now working on another mega man one but this time in cross stitch, it's gonna take a while, 210x190 px, I'll be posting up my progress block by block as I go.
