After seeing a lot of interesting collections pass by on the main page over the last few months, I finally decided to share my own strange habits with you all.
I haven't had much time to work on these projects as of late, but here's some of my older works.
Sorry about the mostly blurry images, but I no longer own most of these.
They've either been given as gifts, or sold.
I make my own patterns using sprite-based graphics. Since they're already pixelated, they transfer well to gridded cross stitch patterns. :)
These come from anime and video games alike.
Bub and Bob from Bubble Bobble/Bust a move.
This one took about 2 hours to make.
Alexiel from the anime Angel Sanctuary.
I can't recall how long it took, but it was at least 2 1/2 hours.
Chrono from Chrono Trigger.
Felicia from... Well, a lot of games. But I think I took that sprite from Puzzle Fighter.
My traditional starting group for Final Fantasy (1).
About 3 hours of work.
Fuu Houoji from the anime Magic Knight Rayearth. Made into a pillow.
This took a whopping 34 hours to make.
Ice climbers. :)
Again, about two hours of work.
Inu Yasha, from the PS1 fighting game.
Those poofy pants brought that work up to over 9 1/2 hours. O.o
So much red...
Kefka! From Final Fantasy 6/3.
About 10 hours of work.
One of my favorite works yet. And I gave it to an awesome Kefka cosplayer at a con one year.
Kirby. Given as a christmas present.
2 hours seems to be the average for works this size.
"Leon" (Squall) from Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.
11 1/2 hours.
Given as a christmas present as well.
Link! From a fan-sprite.
3-ish hours.
Various. Most of these were given as christmas presents.
(Some shown before)
Ryo-Ohki -- 2 Hours
Tonberry -- 3 Hours
Sailor Jupiter -- 4 Hours
Catgirl -- 4 1/2 Hours
(Catgirl based on random image floating around the net, as per request. I made her into a sprite, then stitched her up.)
Morrigan and Lilith. Sprite taken from Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Over 15 hours.
Protoman! (3 hours.)
Another request. Raphael.
4 hours.
Sheena from Tales of Symphonia (?).
Yet another request.
My other favorite. 4 hours well spent.
A succubus from Disgaea.
These last few were all stitched onto onsies, and are being modeled by my son.
Four swords version of Link.
Prinny, dood!
A few mario themed items.
P.S. If theres a video game sprite you'd like to have made into a cross-stitched item, I would likely be up to taking some commissions.
so much win. very cool!
omg I love the pics of the babies! great work!
Awesome work! And adorable baby!
1 word
AMAZING
This is high in my "coolest stuff of the day" list.
Wow, awesome work! Do you have an Etsy store or anything like that?
Felicia is superior!! Nice stuff!
I don't have an etsy, no.
I would, but I don't always have a chance to stitch. Also, I spend hours just deciding what I should do next. Or getting around to it. O.o
For example, I have the vague outline of Metaknight stitched onto a polo that I eventually plan to use for work. But then, It's been sitting in a box for... 6 months now?
@ the Darkstalker character stitches;
Aww, Prinny!!! ^_^
Yeah, I'd definitely like to get a commision done, or buy a stitch/T-Shirt... not much money though...
Btw, I saw an small-sprite version of KOS-MOS on DeviantArt that was stitched, was that you who created that?
Nah, not me.
Surprisingly, a lot of people do anime/game stitches.
This is my DeviantArt:

If you browse through my favorites, theres a lot of other game stitches people have done.
These are awesome, nice work Sirinth! Cute kid too (and I like how he replicates the mood of Link with his frowny face... classic)
Re: All the cute kid comments.
More recent picture, since those are from over a year ago.
wowzers!
...Welcome to Destructoid?
Wow. Love it all. Do you charge by the hour? I'm just wondering how much one of these would cost. I have a few ideas for commissions...
those are amazing, and hi!
Amazing work is amazing.
I would be the happiest baby of all time with those vests.
Re: Superflossy
I'm not entirely sure what to charge, to be honest.
Some of the ones pictured were sold for $15-20, and those were just the ones that took 2-3 hours.
Material cost isn't an issue, as I have all the materials in the world. (I have a -huge- box of string. And a fair amount of fabric)
So, yes... it would just be labor costs. (And shipping.)
What did you have in mind?
Whoa, that's awesome. I love the Proto Man one. Sprite from one of the best Mega Man games, too. :D
oooh, cool, i can totally afford one of these, hooray! i'm going to PM you some ideas tomorrow and we can go from there. looking forward to collaborating!
Those are so awesome! Do want!
Very nice! The Kefka one made my jaw drop. Good work.
I think I played against that kid on live, and he raped me :P
Holy crap, there are a ton of them, and each one amazing!
My children will only wear onesies such as those. >:| Normal babywear cannot suffice, now.
My favorites: Bubble Bobble, Crono, Ice Climbers, Link onesie. But all are great! That pillow is too scary for me to leave out (how to explain to my aunts and uncles) but is also super cool.
How much for the baby?
But nice work, if I think of something I want, I'll let you know! You take Confederate dollars, right?
Oh wow! You are so talented! I simply can't say anymore than that, what you do is just so awesome!
Great! As if I didn't act gay enuff, now I'm gonna go learn to cross-stitch :(
p.s. your stuff is fucking awesome!
Super amazing stuff!
OMG, your Fuu pillow is gorgeous!
Also, Prinny FTW!
Re: Kittwalker
Nah... I know a few heterosexual guys that stitch.
It's manly if you're stitching 'manly' patterns, right? :P
lol.
Those are great! Do you make your own patterns or use a program? I'm looking for an InuYasha pattern for my little sister's birthday. Any tips? Thanks :)
