Two More Doctor Who Sprite Patterns

I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY NOW.
Actually, I am not unhappy about posting this sprite pattern of David Tennant as the 10th Doctor from Doctor Who, but it seems like there was a lot of fuss over it. I got a little frustrated as I worked on the hair, but I think it worked out in the end! It's not much fun to just post one pattern at a time, though, so to go with this, here is the 5th Doctor, Peter Davison. This one was actually much easier to make, but that didn't make it boring to work on or anything. I hope that you guys like both of today's patterns!
I am really tired now, so I think I am done with blog posting for tonight. I have some nifty new patterns coming, though, with some requested portrait patterns that should be cool and piles more sprite patterns, which is always fun. Just in the Doctor Who set, I have Amy, Rory, Martha, and a color version of the 2nd Doctor to chart, and that's not even mentioning the piles of patterns from other stuff I'm working on. I'll be posting more patterns soon, but, until then, have a nice weekend!

Sprite Patterns April Day 30: The End of the Month and the End of a Set

Hello! I know that it's the last day of Sprite Patterns April, so I should probably have a fancy post, but the last couple of days that I've had substitute teaching have been very bad, so I am not going to do much today. To end the month, however, I have the last two patterns in my Yu Yu Hakusho set, featuring Kuwabara and Botan! These are my two favorites in the set, since I like the characters and think that they'll look really nice when I cross stitch them. I sort of want to make the whole set, though, so that might not be saying too much. If you guys are also interested in using these patterns for some sort of craft, here they are!


Even though I'm done posting for today, I'll be back within a couple of days with some more patterns. I hope that you guys liked all of the patterns this month! It went better than December did, so I have no complaints about it. Have a nice start to your May!

Sprite Patterns April Day 29: Two More, Fancier, Yu Yu Hakusho Patterns

Hello! It's getting really close to the end of Sprite Patterns April, but before it's over, I want to finish the set of Yu Yu Hakusho patterns that I started with yesterday! If you requested something else, don't worry! I still have a ton of patterns to post and will, in fact, be posting more stuff after the month has ended. For today, though, I have two more Yu Yu Hakusho patterns, tonight featuring Hiei and Kurama! Due to the gigantic hairstyles, these are the two largest patterns in the set, but I think that they ended up being pretty nifty, and not too oversized. Plus, at least in Kurama's case, there are some fancy clothes to stitch, too, which is fun.

I cannot type or spell tonight, so I am done posting for now! I'll be back with the last two characters in this set tomorrow, if you guys think you know who they are, but, until then, have a nice evening or day!

Sprite Patterns April Day 28: A New Yu Yu Hakusho Set

Hello! It's getting really close to the end of Sprite Patterns April, so it was probably too late to do this, but this afternoon, I sat down and made a brand new set of sprite patterns featuring the cast of Yu Yu Hakusho! I sat around and made the sprites, took a break, since at that point, I felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head, and then came back to chart them. I hadn't actually thought that I'd get all six of them finished, but for some reason, I have an actual attention span today, so that worked to my advantage.

Like I mentioned before, this set of Yu Yu Hakusho patterns only has six members, meaning that it's not terribly extensive. I tried to make the most important cast members, though, so hopefully, these will be characters that some of you guys want to make. Today is the first day of these patterns, so I'm starting off by posting Yusuke, the main character, since that seems pretty reasonable, and pairing him with Keiko, his schoolgirl girlfriend. I get the feeling that the other two pairs of patterns will be the more popular ones, but I think these two came out really well, too, so here they are!


I'm done for today, and, unlike most days, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to post tomorrow! Until then, have a nice end to your weekend and good luck with your craft projects!

Sprite Patterns April Day 27: I Really Don't Know

Hello! Today, I have a really fancy requested pattern that I made a few months ago to post. It is a larger than normal sprite pattern, with bunny ears and piles of hair and a cool hat, and it is very detailed, with lots of bright colors. My only problem is that I really have no idea who this character is. My file of the sprite was labeled as "meroko-yui," so I'm guessing that's her name, and judging by her super pink hair and flippy little skirt, it would also be my guess, though I'm not completely sure, that she is from an anime, and probably not a super-serious martial arts one at that. I will probably google the character name after I'm done with this post, but I sort of like having her be mysterious! I hope that you guys enjoy this pattern of the lovely and mysterious Meroko Yui.
I have to make some more patterns, so I'm done blogging for today, but will hopefully have some nifty new stuff tomorrow. Until then, have a nice weekend!

Sprite Patterns April Day 26: One King of Fighters Pattern

Hello! Before I start, I just want to say that Sky, I get e-mails even if the post is a really old one, so I got your comment! I've wanted to make those charts for a long time and will have at least one of them next month. I couldn't reply through e-mail, but I wanted to let you know that I'd read it. Let me know if you'd like a pattern for Haruhi or Yuki first! I'd like to make Tsuruya, too, but she's not a very major character, so I'm not sure if that counts for anything. I got your comment, too, Rosa, and Kristine, I'm glad you liked the Deadman Wonderland patterns! Thank you all for the nifty comments!

Tonight, I was going to have something fancy to post, though I'm not sure what it would have been, but instead, I got distracted reading documents that the US government distributed during WWII to tell us how to get along with and understand the people of Great Britain. As it turns out, I am easily distracted. For tonight, however, I have a pattern of Leona from the King of Fighters games. I realize that I made this pattern mostly because I wanted it, but I'd been trying to get her giant ponytail to work for quite a while and finally got it right. If you too have been stitching my SNK sprite patterns, I hope that you like this pattern!
I'm really tired and should probably stop posting before I go back to archive.org and forget about the fact that I was working on this until after midnight. I'll be back tomorrow, so, until then, good luck with your crafts!

Sprite Patterns April Day 25: Sakura and Her Supporting Cast

Hello! It's the last Thursday in Sprite Patterns April, so I know that I'm really close to the end of this! As it has been for the rest of the month, this Thursday is for three new Cardcaptor Sakura patterns. Today is better than the other three posts have been, however, because I have one pattern of Sakura, and then two to go with her of Syoran and Meiling! (I have one of Tomoyo that I'll post eventually, too, but I need to figure out what floss color is best for her dress and am a bit lazy for that tonight.) Meiling and Syoran will be leading the post, since I think the patterns are cute and they haven't been flooding this blog for the entire month. The one that I have for Sakura, though, is particularly elaborate, with a frilly little flippy skirt and a giant jester hat, so I'm hoping that compensates for her reduced presence. Either way, though, I'm not done with her yet. I still have several sprites of her left to chart, some more of the other characters, and have a big Tsubasa art book that I haven't used for any patterns yet. Whether you take that as good news or a threat, here are the patterns for today.


These patterns are it for now, but I'll be back tomorrow with another pile of nonsense! Until then, good luck with your crafts, and have a nice evening!

Sprite Patterns April Day 24: Edward Elric

Hello! I am hoping that this is my last lazy and short post for a while, especially because tomorrow is another installment of Cardcaptor Sakura Thursday. For today, however, I have a sprite pattern of Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist! I made this pattern when the internet went out one night, because I have a Full Metal Alchemist artbook, but was pretty pleased with how it came out. Anyway, tonight, I am bad at writing, talking, and paying attention to things, so here is the pattern before I waste too much blog space.
I just tried to type "hello" in order to finish the blog post, so I'd better be finished for today. Tomorrow, however, I will have some cool new Cardcaptor Sakura patterns and, perhaps, a photo of my fancy new project. Have a good night and good luck with your crafts!

Sprite Patterns April Day 23: One Tekken Pattern

Hello! Tonight is going to be another short post, since my brain is fried from a combination of Hamlet and a train wreck two days of substitute teaching. I do have a nifty new sprite pattern for tonight, though, featuring Lili from Tekken. I'd wanted to make this pattern for quite a while, but I kept messing up the skirts and hair, which I felt was reason enough to abandon the pattern and start over three or four times. I think that I finally got her to look right this time, though, so I hope that you guys think so, too.
I was serious when I typed that I could not blog much tonight, so for now, I am done. I'll be back tomorrow with new patterns and yapping!

Sprite Patterns April Day 22: Robotech Stuff!

Hello! Normally, it takes me five to ten minutes to format a cross stitch pattern in order to post it here, provided that I have the sprite, or other image that I'm going to use, ready to go beforehand. Tonight, this took me an hour and five minutes to accomplish. Because of that, I only have one Robotech sprite pattern to post tonight, just as I'd threatened yesterday. However, I think that it's a really cool one, featuring Dana Sterling/Jeanne Francaix from Southern Cross/Robotech Masters (I think, anyway) in her standard outfit. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I like the pattern more than I like the character, which is not really saying that much for the pattern. I'm really looking forward to stitching this sprite, though, so I hope that you guys like the corresponding cross stitch chart.
I am sleepy now, after a longer than usual day of subbing and a pretty good night of running Pokemon League, so I am done now. Have a good evening!
