The Last Rocket - Flip & Ami

I'd love if somebody could make a pattern of this for me. It's from Shaun Inman's fantastic game The Last Rocket. Number of colors isn't important (I think it's limited to NES color palette as-is, but you don't need to modify that). Although I intend to do this on black fabric, I'd surely do the black inside the circle. Ideally, I'd get a colored pdf. Thanks in advance.

I think I can whip one up for ya fairly quickly. Got it imported, just gotta double-check some stuff. :)

EDIT: Got it done. I would double-check the colors before you start to stitch. I normally would, but the lighting is super bad in my apartment right now. Attached both a color and a black/white copy.

Now that I've gone and compared the floss colors with the original, it does indeed appear the colors might be a bit dark. I'm sure the tiny nature of my original photo didn't help, so I'm including a larger version. Might I get another pattern, please? I'm doing this again on black aida cloth, which I could only find in a 14 count at the store. On the previous pattern, color 500 is "very dark blue green", but the original image shows it quite a bit lighter. As an additional example, the original image shows 349 as dark coral, but the original image shows it a bit brighter orange. Help? Again, a color PDF would be best (and I'd love for it to keep the 50x50 size the last one rendered. Thanks in advance :grin:

Okay, I looked over the pattern and chose the colors I think best work. If you go into a store and buy your thread, I would bring a copy of the original image to make sure those are the colors that you think work best. And the colors look different in the pattern than the actual thread. :) Hope this works better for you.

I finished this over the weekend. I used a combination of colors from the first and second patterns (as well as eye-balling a few while standing in Hobby Lobby). It turned out very well, though I wish two specific colors were a bit better (the computer's eyes, and the third colored line from the bottom). Later I'll post the numbers for any others that might want to follow suit. Before I do that, however, here's a look at my finished product (again, pending a frame, or something like that):

Kareesh, thank you again for the patterns. :thumbsup:

It looks great! I wouldn't worry about either of your 'drathers - the whole effect is natural and coherent.

Looks good! I think those were the colors which were giving me a bit of an issue when I was designing it as well. Black aida also makes colors look different when stitched, so it's always a fun game of guessing. :)
