Ys

I'm making a video game quit for my son & am planning to make it up from a mix of cross stitch & custom-printed fabric. I'd like to feature a variety of characters & maps from assorted games. One of the ones I'd like to feature is Ys (have lots of good memories playing it on the old Sega system!). So I was wondering if anyone out there would be willing to make up a pattern for me please?

I've attached a pic from the start up screen (this one is from the computer version but it's slightly more detailed than the old 8-bit version). I'd like to stitch it on 14 count black aida (14 count is the only black I can easily get locally). Ideally I'd like it to be around 20-30cm wide or thereabouts but if it's not looking good quality-wise, I don't mind if it goes bigger, simply to get a good looking image. ***edited to add***: I found some nice 28-count black evenweave locally which I think will give a nicer finish & I think I'll use that rather than the aida I mentioned before. I normally stitch over-2 for evenweave (so would still be 14 count) but could do over-1 if it will result in higher detail (but less size). Whatever works out better.

I'm on a Mac, so a pdf of the pattern is the only format I can currently use (as most of the stitching software won't work on a Mac).

Thanks so, so much for any help!

Here is my attempt. It comes to 12" wide (a little over 30cm I believe) on 14ct. I left the black(310) on the pattern just in case someone else decided to do this and didn't have any black fabric available. Otherwise just ignore those stitches on the pattern as you work.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

Once I start on the quilt, I'll post progression shots in the forums. I'm really excited to start on this.

Thanks again!
