Finally finished the middle third. Happy to reach that milestone. Hoping the rest goes a little quicker.

    Oh wow, this is going to be really lovely when you’re done! Blends two kinds of nostalgia for me, the game of course and just the way cross-stitch looks (probs due to a sprinkle of early memories). Really really perfect combination of aesthetics for my tastes.

    Thinking about it, does seem like a painful project probably lol. Seems like a lot of colors in some real random spots to get the details right. Just remember the outcome 😅

    Edit: I don’t have any connection to cross-stitch whatsoever (though I do hang dope art in my home in general), but I am subbing to this community in hopes I see how it turns out lol, cheers!

      My daughter and I have been playing through the remakes, so this will be for her when it’s done. It’s been fun reliving some nostalgia combined with a new feel. And yeah, the colors definitely jump around a bit.

    Very cool! How does the back of this type of art look?

        Certainly no rush or obligation, I’m just curious here from /c/all.

            That’s so cool! It’s like a subway map. It’s not exactly the same on the back, I guess because there are layers.

            Thank you for taking the time to share this.

              Yeah the crossing happens on the front so depending on how you’re stitching it’ll look different on the back. If you’re doing a large block of color you tend to do all the slashes in a line one direction and then cross back over on the way back. That leads to the rows of straight up and down lines. If you’re crossing individual x’s you’ll get more of a corner looking shape
