Topic: Cross stitch ideas

What would be some cool characters or scenes to do in cross stitch?

I don't promise to complete any idea offered up here, since cross stitch takes so long I gotta be picky about what I start, but I can do a lot more ambitious and interesting stuff in cross stitch I could never do in beads.

Re: Cross stitch ideas

Character portraits from games like FF4 are great if you want to try something more than sprites but don't want to tackle tons of colours.

Speaking of which, I need to finish my husband's cross stitch present from last Christmas. Maybe doing all the Breath of Fire 2 character portraits is beyond me. >_>

Re: Cross stitch ideas

Ah! I didn't know you did cross stitch Jeanine. You should finish it and show us pics. <3

I do want to do something for FF4, but I can't think what. I was thinking of perhaps a scene, or the logo, but nothing leaps out at me.

I know I definitely want to do the scene of Richter confronting Dracula, but I can't decide whether I want to use Rondo of Blood's, or the prelude from SotN. I wish I had emulators for more precise pics, rather than reconstructions from sprites. :\

Re: Cross stitch ideas

I vote Symphony of the Night.

Are you going to do the scene with Frog and Magus in cross stitch? Because that would be awesome.

Re: Cross stitch ideas

Gotta be SotN for the wine glass. Rondo Drac is sitting the wrong way! And his stairs are boring.

How she does it is a conundrum wrapped in an enigma-stuffed mystery. Or, y'know, a mystendrum.

Re: Cross stitch ideas

See I thought Drac was sitting the wrong way but I checked videos on Youtube and that's the way he sits. Actually, the way that particular Dracula looks at Richter is... kind of gay. So I guess Symphony of the Night it is.

Oh hell yeah I'm doing Magus vs. Frog, though I had considered doing instead the first boss fight with him instead of the ending cutscene. Plus the opera scene from FF6. Still dunno what for FF4, I do want it to be a scene. Possibly Cecil's duel with himself.

I need ideas for a big Megaman project.

Re: Cross stitch ideas

Rydia's return to the party might be good too, though you may have to hack it together to have Mist Dragon, Rydia and Cecil in the scene. Cecil vs himself is more representative of the game.

Got an idea.

Here's what I'd assume to be a stupidly time-consuming one.

Clearly you need to make Phoenix Wright.

Re: Cross stitch ideas

I support this if it means this guy.

Re: Cross stitch ideas

You know, geo, that is an idea. Someone's doing a bunch of scenes of Megaman during boss fights, and then is going to arrange them in a collage, and I am really jealous of the idea. I was also considering doing the stage select screen. Even though it would be monstrous huge. Probably Megaman 2, but damn it everyone does Megaman 2.

Yes yes Phoenix Wright is on the list too jesus those will break me.

I have played around with the idea of Rydia saving Cecil in the underworld, but the Mist Dragon is huge. Then again, the Mist Dragon would be awesome to do because I could work with pearly shiny thread -- baaaah I need to stop pursuing those thoughts. I do agree that Cecil vs himself is more representative of the game in general.

MORE IDEAS KEEP 'EM COMIN'.

Re: Cross stitch ideas

Bosses are cool but formulaic. What about the defining moments of the stages? Like the massive snake in Snake Man's stage. Megaman X would be a pain, wouldn't it?

Good idea! I really don't wanna copy that other person, as awesome as his idea is. And I am quite fond of the X series, being most partial to X4.

Bonus points for Cyber Peacock.

Or better yet. Go for General. You know you want to. :D

Quick! Pull him up to the balloon so we can toss him over the side again!

Re: Cross stitch ideas

Cyber... Peacock...

Sorry, but the metal simply was not with X4 compared to X. Storm Eagle! \m/

Re: Cross stitch ideas

This is true, but she specifically mentioned X4.

And Peacock was awesome.

Re: Cross stitch ideas

Why do other people always get the cool ideas first? :(

N-not that I need another project right now. But this one I could bully my mom into doing.
