My first challenge too! Looking forward to seeing your worksawyerssnowflake wrote:This is my first challenge and I am extremely nervous that it will pale in comparison to everyone else's work! However I did find a cute pattern to stitch. Does it have to be strictly zodiac or can it be cartoonish? Thanks! I don't want to give away what I'm doing and I'm really excited to start!

Its my first time working on black aida too! We can be new at this together!ladycass wrote:I am all excited about this. I am working on one now. It will be my first video game cross stitch, my second cross stitch ever, my first time making my own pattern and my first time submitting anything to this board I have been stalking for a while.
Oh yeah, and my first time working on black aida... well you get the idea.

It is Simba, AND the pattern was made from a sprite from a Lion King Game. Can't remember which, but I found it by searching "simba" on Spriter's Resource.no_need wrote:It's Simba! And I love it, tooladycass wrote:rbaron wrote:Not sure if this counts, but I'm a Leo, so I say yes

I really like the treatment of the background, makes me envision huge spans of dry tundra grasslandsIt is Simba, AND the pattern was made from a sprite from a Lion King Game. Can't remember which, but I found it by searching "simba" on Spriter's Resource.

Strong opening by rbaron!
I, too, love how you handled the background. Makes me feel like Rafiki's right there with me.

Love the color choices for the water. It looks subtle and shimmery. I bet it looks even better in person.Hellfire wrote:Here's my very first challenge entry.an Aquarius coaster. The water bearer.
