Doctor Who faces

Hello all ^_^
if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it.
I'm a bit Doctor Who fan and I'm looking to see if anyone could turn my two images into a PDF pattern for me. I don't have any programs to open up the other KG charts.
I'm looking to make each of the Doctors from the image into a number on a round clock with the TARDIS being the number 12, so I don't want each character to be too big otherwise they won't fit. I've seen this idea somewhere else but it was with 8 bit versions of the Doctors and I thought it was cool, but the image I found of the Doctors I enjoy sooo much more. It won't be to sell. It's really just for me and my husband sicne we're rabid fans of the show. The picture I found was on Pinterest and Google and I've searched everywhere for the original artist and have come up with no results so I hope no one minds doing this for me.
As to the number of colors...i leave it up to you guys.

I totally want to do the clock version as well. And I like the pictures you found a lot better than the sprites. Sadly, I'm not very good at pattern making, so I'll just have to wait alongside with you.

Ok...I totally want to stitch that Tom Baker Doctor on black Aida. I had such a crush on him when I was a kid and watched it with my dad.

I just started watching from the 2005 reboot (from Doctor 9-11) and I absolutely love it. Once I get caught up with the current season I'm going to go back and watch from the first doctor and on. It's such an amazing show! something for everyone really. But nice to see other Whovians out there like me

My husband has been working on making this a pattern in Paint. We had to shrink them down so they lost some detail, but if my calculations are correct, then they should be about 2 inches tall, making the clock face 12" in all, if you use 18 count. He also added the Gallifreyan for "Time Lord" in the middle, but that's easy to take out. Now I have to work on it in KG to work out all the colors.

Update on the pattern (if anyone else wanted to do this, feel free too. I'm apparently really slow at it, lol). Got it imported into KG but it has some super funky colors, so I'm going through and fixing them all. Got from the TARDIS through the 5th Doctor done and working on the 6th. I think I'll do 2 versions, one with the Galliferyan and one without.
Righo...back to picking colors.
EDIT: Alright, got the one without the Gallifreyan done. The symbol needs quite a bit of cleaning up, so that's going to take awhile, but I thought that for those of you who liked it without the big symbol, your wait will be cut short.
There are 60 colors, but you can probably make some of them the same if you wish. I haven't stitched this yet, so I'm not 100% positive about the colors, was just doing them based on my thread sample book, so feel free to tweak as needed. There are two symbols "F" and a triangle that only have one stitch. I can't find them, but I don't think they're suppose to be there. If you find them, please lemme know.
This is my first pattern, so hope it works!

Sorry for the double post, but it's just easier to post the other one here. This one has the Gallifreyan for "Time" in the middle of it.
Oops, forgot to mention that the Gallifreyan was made up, and used with permission, by
~DrawlingNell on dA. She's done quite a few of circular Gallifreyan and they're all gorgeous.
