Artist's Comments

My SECOND big picture for this evening goes to my second cross-stitch work.

After being done with the Dangeresque stitch, my mother and I started tossing around ideas for the second. She knew that I was a fan of Spyro the Dragon, so she jokingly threw that suggestion at me. Surprisingly, I found myself making the chart the next day and rushing out to get the threads needed to put it all together.

This picture lasted in production from mid-January through to the end of April. With the recent title, Dawn of the Dragon, being hot off the press I thought I'd base the pic around that, so this meant going with the re-designs for Spyro and Cynder with Sparx accompanying them, alongside my "trademark" (lol) optimistic clifftop background work. :D

Color-wise it's a little more simplistic in comparison to the Dangeresque work, though I still paid a lot of attention to detail to the shades for all 3 characters involved. There's roudly 22 different colors involved this time around.

So yes, my mother was surprised I actually did it, and I was actually surprised it turned out so well. I really hope I get to do stuff like this again <3

Spyro and all related assets belong to Activision Blizzard now. Cross-stitch is mine.

Rexy!!
After many moons of not seeing any of your latest brilliance; it is quite a surprise and a treat to see you and your mother come up with something so....innovative and just...AWESOME!!
The way Spyro and Cynder are composed and outlined i nthe textiles is just amazing. Look how proud they look and it's jsut downright amazing how you and your mum got them perfectly down on the textiles.
Rexy...depending on how hard it is to make these...ever thought of trying to sell some? ;-3

You got it a little bit mixed up - she jokingly suggested I'd do a Spyro cross-stitch since I'm a big fan. I was the one who did all the 3 months of needlework. ;)
But yeah, I'm really glad you stepped in to see this, so thank you very much for the sweet comments :D Concerning selling any, it would be tough to consider so given the amount of time it takes to do one (both recent tapestry submissions were done in the space of 3 months each), but if it comes to the point that I DO make a lot of these, then it might become a trade effort.

Anyway, thank you once again :D

I am quite amazed. :) It's not often you see needlework posted up on deviantArt either, and definitely not any photographed so well to show it off.

wow thats brilliant. was it hard to make?
:iconsilversister:
Whoa! I've seen this stuff made of simple pixel-art of VGs but THIS? 8DDD

This is indeed a welcomed and supricing change to your usual work! :D *not that there was much wrong with the art you usually do* So much effort and a great outcome! You could really make wonders with cross-stitching!
