Re: APRIL Stitch-a-Long - Samplers

Post by Knittenkitten »

Ok, I just counted all the ones that I want to do in my own sampler and it comes to 14 bands so far! I may not have enough room to do them all on one piece. I may just have to split them up into 2 or more samplers to get them to fit! :D

I think this might be the single most intense burst of creativity on this board. :clapping:

BMH, do you eventually want the .STH / .PATs, PDFs, something other than export images?
Mostly hibernating here. Find me on Twitter @rmdcade.

Finally sat down and got this done! I drew everything by hand but everything is based off of in-game objects or the art book.
Shadow of the Colossus - still one of the best games I've ever played.

I'm sad that it's not quite symmetrical (off by one stitch!) but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. The colors of the pattern in the middle are odd but that's what they are in the art book -shrug- feel free to change them. In the game this is the sigil that appears on each colossi's weak spots (glows green-blue).

Yes, I'll need the pattern files from everyone, please. PDFs as well if you're feeling kind, but I have no problem with making those. Please PM them to me!

@kuja.girl - THAT...that right there is a lovely pattern. Very good work!

Have to say, I agree with RMDC about the burst of creativity. Haven't seen you all this enthusiastic for a while!

Glad you like it! That face took forever (ok maybe an hour). If you like this one you'll like the next one I'm going to do too :) also very geometric! I'll send you the pattern files when I finish the second one.

I am going to try to make some time for this. Could we have it for maybe April and May and have 8 lines instead of 4? 6 we all choose and then 2 of our own choosing?
