Hi everyone! I saw this... http://imgur.com/T7ipl ...and REALLY wanted it to be my next project! I LOVE Shaun of the Dead and Simon Pegg! Please please PLEASE can someone make a pattern of this for me?? Any size, as many colours as you want! I know I said no more elaborate patterns after the epic pokemon but this...oh yes!

This is an awesome piece but there are a couple of problems with making pattern of it:

• It's obviously an art piece that someone made and as such you should ask the artist for permission before a pattern is made off it. It didn't take me long to find the artist's website...
• it's a JPEG and has a lot of compression issues that make turning it into a pattern difficult. The artist may be able to provide a better image if you contact them.

if the artist does approve and provides a better image then send me a PM with the image in it and I will be happy to make it into a pattern.

Thank you kuja girl! I really didn't think about asking for permission! :/ But I have contacted him now! Hopefully he will say yes! I will let you know!

[sfxbecks]

He said yes, just waiting for a different format!

That's awesome. Shaun of the Dead is one of my fav's too and this pic made me lol pretty hard so I felt bad about having to post the problems. If he doesn't provide a better format then we still might be able to make a pattern out of it but it will take much more work - we'll see.

Awesome...! I need to see this pattern'd and stitch'd. It's one of my favs

It can definitely be done, but like you say, will take much more work. But it'd be worth it

Nice to see I'm not the only fan! And I'm still waiting for a different format...but it looks like it has to be JPG at the moment! If this does happen I will be forever in your debt!

I played around with it in photoshop and I was able to get it down to 64 colors but it's still huge. I tried it at 50% and it didn't look horrible but you do lose a lot of details.

64 colors, sharpened, noise reduction, etc

64 colors are a lot, for sure...
what size will the pattern be ?

Oh wow! That was quick! Thanks kuja girl! ^_^ do you know roughly how big this will be on say...14/18 count canvass? Just so I know how much to buy!
