I am SUCH a glutton for punishment

[kikotei]

As if I wasn't busy enough at work (I can't seem to keep my mouth shut when I see something that needs catalog type adjustments, I'm at 4 or 5 ongoing/long term inventory projects I think. Fuck) and busy enough in my fannish entanglements, I decided that I need to start a new pattern for cross-stitching. ::points at icon::

So now I will spend an unholy unhealthy number hours cleaning up the larger scan sharona1x2 so kindly shared. And then an equally horrifying number of hours adjusting the pattern stitch by fucking stitch.

I apparently hate myself.

You're going to stitch that picture? Hot damn! I want to see how that turns out. I'd pay you for a copy of the finished pattern. ^_^

I'm going to attempt it. ^____~

The original you posted a while back still needs a fair amount of cleaning and modification to make it usable. Despite all that, it's a better quality pic than what I had.

Heh, I think we can arrange a copy of the pattern for you.

Is this the pic you're using?

The reason the quality isn't perfect is because the original is a phone card. It's only about 3 inches tall. I could try to scan it again, if you need a better copy.

Heh, I think we can arrange a copy of the pattern for you.

*loves* Did I ever share my GW cross stitch patterns with you? I got them from a guy on eBay. I have all the pilots and their gundams. I'd be happy to share. ^_~

I already loaded it up and am running it through the Pattern Maker as we type, but rescan it for me anyway just in case. So far it's cleaning up fairly easily, but I'm concerned that the colors were off in the copy I started with.

No you didn't.Mmmm, the boys and their gundams.::happy place::

::HUGS:: I would so appreciate copies of those.

I've sent the scan. It's my original, before I did anything other than cropping it. I'm also sending the pilot patterns. They're very large files. I don't want to max out your Inbox, so I'll wait for you to say it's okay to send the mecha.

Send away!

The boy patterns are pretty nice. I may have to try those soon. ^____^

Yay! Thank you. Got them.

Also check out http://www.kikotei.net/temp/preliminary1x2.jpg for how it looked a few hours ago.

That is super cool! You can tempt me back into cross stitching with that. Definitely!

::snicker:: Perfect picture for that. Though, I think he would probably have 'sado' in front of his....

My dad walked in while I was working on it and wanted to see. Ha! Terribly gay pose boys, thankful dad seems to have missed the subtext.
