Yeah, definitely went faster than expected. Do have a usual style/look to my pictures/the frames, every so often, especially the ones for me, they come up with some unusual and unique ideas. So we'll see how this colored bevel looks. Also, because I'm still a horrible person, I forgot to list the colors I used in my last post, so we'll take care of that here:

text/white of the spaceship: BLANC
orange stars: 740
blue stars: 995
turquoise/light blue of the spaceship: 3890
orange of the spaceship/flame: 922
red of the flame: 221
dark grey of the spaceship (hard to see on the black background, but it's there as an outline to most of the ship. Benefit of using MS Paint to open my patterns in is I was able to use the paint bucket tool to easily change the background to yellow so that the grey stood out/I could see where it was): 3799

Got a bit of work done on Spirit Tracks today. Was smart enough to leave off in a good spot, so it was easy to figure out where in the pattern I was/am and what needed to be done. Today was mostly working on some of the outline of a section of the smokestack. We'll finish the outline tomorrow and should be able to finish filling it in on Friday. And then we'll work our way down onto other parts of the train. I'll either go two and a half weeks (likely) or three and a half weeks (maybe, but less likely) before my next update, just to get back on the regular Sunday update schedule.

Yeah, not sure what I want to do for PH yet. The box cover, or part of it is a possibility, but as I said, I'm leaning toward something a little less involved. The boat is obviously a big part of the game, so a shot of Link on it is a maybe. Also have a screenshot of Link opening a chest/holding up a treasure chart as a possibility. And if any of the creative minds here have too much time on their hands and want to just bust out a pattern, I'm willing to check it out/maybe give it a go. :)

That's a great color palette! 3890 is one of those colors that I have yet to see in person...it stitches up so nicely!
Happy stitching!

3890 is one I picked up for Four Swords, one of a few bright, neon-esqe colors. Given the bright colors and sheer number, I'm a little surprised I didn't need/use it for Minish Cap, too. But always happy to have the chance to use colors I already have, especially something a little more unusual.

Spirit Tracks is moving along. Prolly looking at early/mid May to finish this hoop, but we've got some good chunks of color, so maybe we can finish it a little earlier. But this will finish off a big chunk of the train, so looking forward to being able to show that off.
