So many good entries.

I particularly like Digitlanalog's tiny backstitch Z's. Never seen that done before.

Anyway, here is my first "one thing from one game skinned differently to look like something of a different shape from another game" entry:

I had this idea for a second entry... But when I tried to design it I accidentally created this thing of nightmares:

I decided that horror should not be unleashed upon the world.


I actually think the Pac-Man reskinned with Mario looks pretty cool! It's really creative I wish I could think of things like that!

Fantastic! Love how you backstitched your whammy bar!

Nice guitar - but it hits a nerve, because yesterday I went to have a go on Guitar Hero (for the first time in ages) and found that my controller is broken! :-(

So I would like to like your stitch, but for me the grief is still too near.

(Do love the whammy bar though)

Yeah, the whammy bar is the star of the show from my point of view, too. The whole package is pretty awesome, though. :)

That GH controller is too cute! Would you mind sharing the pattern?

Here is my 8x32.


Original : Image

And mine: Image

Kind of just cropped her eyes (not so creative), which happened to fit perfectly. Oh, it's Pocky from Pocky and Rocky 2 in case some didn't know.

Sure, thanks! :D

I have attached the pattern I originally created for this, even though I drew lots of backstitching that I didn't end up doing (the only bit I actually did was around the pick and the whammy bar.)

The first set of files I'm attaching is how I'd make it if the pattern wasn't constrained by 8x32, I actually stretched it to 11x32 to put the pick directly in the middle and make the guitar rounder. Use whichever you prefer! Quarter stitches FTW on the little one. I would suggest doing the white part before the black on the body of the guitar so the black half-stitches can replace the backstitching.
