Nintendo's Silent Protagonists
Posted: Tue Dec 10, 2013 6:08 pm
I made a triptych highlighting the heroic mimes of Nintendo: Mario, Samus, and Link. Of course, they've all spoken at one time or another, but back in the day, they uttered nary a word. Pixel art from illustrator Michael Myers at http://www.drawsgood.com
Done with 2 strands on 14 count salt colored aida.
I also have a Gordon Freeman pattern in the same style, but didn't stitch it.
I think I'll redo the Mario one, give him the fire flower colors, change the caption to "Let the Fireball do the talking."
I hesitate making the pattern available because I didn't do the original designs. I say that if you want to do something similar, you can just use in-game sprites--of course, it won't be as wicked as Michael's pixel art. I have plans for Minish Cap Link and Crono with the same caption.
