May --> ? Challenge! Final Fantasy Stitch-A-Long!

[LiquidKarma]

Those mages are too cute. I never got into the FF games, but I'm sure obsessed with Kingdom Hearts and that's a mix of FF characters. I'm sure I'd love it.

I have to admit I haven't played through most of them. Like you, I'm a big KH fan, and a friend of mine recommended Final Fantasy X. It is , by far, one of the best games I've ever played. I'm playing through it for a second time!

FFX was awesome!! If you liked X you should try XII, it's A LOT longer but it's amazing!

well, this is my first attempt at the pattern I wanted to make...a chocobo breeding guide / family tree from FFVII.

but, I dont like anything about it. the layout, the coloring of the sprites (sprites from FFIV, colored by me), names, etc, etc...

BLEH.

I need help. suggestions? redesigns? anything?

I don't know much about FFVII- but I like you idea a lot! I think it might just look a little off balance with nothing in the lower left hand corner. Perhaps you could add a little humor by placing a neon pink or lime green chocobo in that corner with a '?' over his head-- like WTF where did I come from.

Just an idea!

I didn't understand your piece till I read your explanation of the family tree. What do the letters mean? I like the pattern.
Have you tried a different fabric colour? That might make all the difference. The yellow on the birds will pop a little more then. Will the biegey colour you have of this it washes out the yellow.

I understood the piece because I've played though FF7 a few times. I've got a few ideas to help you.

• - You don't need to change the background, but you could change the background in the little squares to make them pop out.
  - A title along the top in a border? Something like 'CHOCOBO FAMILY TREE'
  - A fancier border for the little squares? Nothing too fancy, maybe 3 pixels in width, two black outer lines and a grey one in the middle. Or, like my brother pointed out, you could make the boxes look like the message boxes from one of the Final Fantasy games.
  - A key for what the letters are in the bottom left corner. I think you could drop the Y from all the yellow chocobos and maybe have something like this: GDC- Good Chocobo, GTC- Great Chocobo, WC- Wonderful Chocobo. Also, I don't think you need the M in the Black Chocobo box. Really it should be BRMC (Black River-Mountain Chocobo).
  - Lines joining the boxes like a proper family tree.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Is this challenge running for one month or for two? I don't want to start it too late.

I just saw this on Craftster.

Tonberries are pretty cool FF characters, too.

If I don't do Quetzalcoatl, I might make a Cactuar.

It's not a challenge this time, just a stitch-a-long because not many people entered the challenge last time.. Everyone works on their patterns at the same time and posts progress shots so everyone can be encouraged and finish. It'll probably be a month or two before we have another challenge. Just don't worry about it, there's no deadline!
