Pokemon Poster

Post by faroresdragn »

Hey Im pretty new here. Im undertaking a pretty big project. Nothing as big as this Epic Pokemon Pattern, or some of the other things Ive seen here, but its by fat the biggest thing Ive ever done. Im going to put all 151 original Pokemon together to look like a poster. The Epic Pokemon thing is very cool, but Im going for something very different. I want it to look very official, like how they would sell posters will all 150 in them, or how they would arrange all the pokeon by type in one of the old guide books.

So Im going to lay out all 150 in a 10x15 grid, in numerical order, and each given the same amount of space reguardless of size. So since thatll take up alot of space, I cant do the awesome full sprites, but am using the "icon" sprites; the little sprites you see on the party screen after gen 3. And all will have their name and number stitched under them, with a big Pokemon logo stitched over top. Im gonna do it on 22 Aida, cause on anything bigger, this thing would literally be approaching door size. But this should end up at a convenient poster size and be just what I wanted.

Im working on making the patterns, but since I started college recently, it's probably gonna be quite a while before I actually start stitching on this. But once I do Ill start posting WIP pictures here. :)

also, since Im not new to cross stitch but definately new to making my own patterns, I have to thank stitchingmama for making me the pattern for the Pokemon logo that will go over top of this thing, cause I wouldnt have been able to do it myself.

No problem! I actually prefer to make patterns over stitching so I love to help others on this site.
