Hi guys! I finally registered with the forums although I have been reading SS for quite a while- I thought I would share some of the cross stitch projects I've done so far... sorry the colors are funky on some of them, I am better at stitching than I am at photography :) I hope you like them!

Yay for the surfing Pikachu...that brings back some sad, geeky, but enjoyable memories.

Seriously though, there's a bunch of great stuff there.

Nice work!

If I might make on suggestion: try filling in the white spaces with white stitching. It may seem pointless, but it really makes the stitch jump out (particularly with a character like the White Mage there). Embroidery floss is shinier than fabric.

Try the Bright White (B5200). It's whiter than plain ol' white and really gives an extra oomph to any video game work.

All of the ones that are super close up were just ones that I was fiddling around with on one bookmark, so I got kind of lazy. But I do agree that those extra stitches really make it look great.
