OCT Challenge - Zodiac

[ladycass]

This is my first challenge and I am extremely nervous that it will pale in comparison to everyone else's work! However I did find a cute pattern to stitch. Does it have to be strictly zodiac or can it be cartoonish? Thanks! I don't want to give away what I'm doing and I'm really excited to start!

My first challenge too! Looking forward to seeing your work

I am all excited about this. I am working on one now. It will be my first video game cross stitch, my second cross stitch ever, my first time making my own pattern and my first time submitting anything to this board I have been stalking for a while.

Oh yeah, and my first time working on black aida... well you get the idea.

Its my first time working on black aida too! We can be new at this together!

Not sure if this counts, but I'm a Leo, so I say yes

This is adorable Love it. Is that from a game or just a general lion cub?

It's Simba! And I love it, too

It is Simba, AND the pattern was made from a sprite from a Lion King Game. Can't remember which, but I found it by searching "simba" on Spriter's Resource.

Also thanks

Can we enter more than one if time allows for it?

Certainly! Enter as many as you like!

It's a lion, so it must be Leo.

I really like the treatment of the background, makes me envision huge spans of dry tundra grasslands

Strong opening by rbaron! I, too, love how you handled the background. Makes me feel like Rafiki's right there with me.

Love the color choices for the water. It looks subtle and shimmery. I bet it looks even better in person.

Yeah, the glittery thread on the darker water colour doesn't really show in the picture.
