JAN/FEB Challenge - Portraits!

Welcome everybody to the first challenge of 2013!

As the topic title suggests, this challenge is about portraits. I'm sure most people know what a portrait is, but just in case this is what we want: a crafted picture of a character's face/head (you can include neck and shoulders if you wish).
Many games already have character portraits in them, which would be totally fine to submit. As would any cropped image of a character.

You have two months so have some fun with your ideas, maybe do something a little bit different, whatever you like. Only rules are that it must be a finished craft, be a video game character and your own pattern idea.

As ever, all crafts welcome and multiple entries are fine!

I know some of you will have questions, so post them in this thread. If you need any help with patterns or any advice on making, PM me. :wiz

Challenge ends on Feb 28th - best of luck! :D

I was thinking about this when you had the suggestion topic up last month. :D Already have a portrait in mind so all I have to do is print the graph!

Just want to encourage people to give their projects a frame - whether that be an actual frame or a stitched / made one!
Not making it a rule, but I do think it would add to the whole portrait thing in a good way! :D

I'm going to try and get in on this one. :) I "think" I have my portrait character. Just need to find a good pic to make a pattern from. :D:D

I have several portrait ideas, just gotta figure out which one I'll do. Also, when I'll start working on it since I currently got a cross-stitching I'm doing that I had planned as my first for this year, but that shouldn't take but a few days.

Not, for example, something found on a random blog 6 mo ago and rediscovered a few weeks back?
