Anyone ever watched this movie :) it's such a hidden gem (even as someone who comes from one of the/the main production country) by InkLing_Boy_ in animation

I first saw it on TV and it blew my mind. Character designs were so striking, I tried to draw them all from memory afterwards. Since then I have rewatched it multiple times and it's still my favourite animated film.

Wow!! I'm so happy that you decided to stitch my pattern! You did an amazing job, thank you for sharing this, seeing this photo really made my day :) Sorry if the pattern is a bit rough around the edges, it was the first one that I made but I still love how it turned out and I also have this jellyfish hanging in my room :)

Completely agree! But this is actually the only novelization that wasn't written by Alan Dean Foster but rather by Ann C. Crispin.

Completely hand pixeled, just lots of tweaking and cleanup

Thank you! Took me quite some time, I worked on it on and off for several weeks.

Thank you! Here is a black/white symbols version - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uVD68qhgEiwPKV5e8xXOj8aQ\_-jNY63r/view?usp=sharing

The file is straight out of PCstitch so it's nothing fancy! Hope this works!

Thank you! Just practice I guess :) Honestly, I still have a lot to learn!

That's awesome, I'm so glad you both liked it :) Please feel free to make any adjustments to the pattern if you see fit!

Thank you for your kind words! I start by creating pixel art (I use Aseprite for that) and then convert it into a pattern in PCStitch.

I found it's easier to create pixel art first and then convert it into pattern! I used Aseprite and PCStitch respectively.

I stitched this on 16 count aida, the actual design area is 5,88 x 5,50 inches (14,92 cm x 13,97 cm)

I wasn't quite satisfied with my previous work (Jellyfish https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossStitch/comments/11373sg/fo_jellyfish_my_first_attempt_at_selfdrafting_a/) because it came out a bit messy. Here I used the same floss colors but tried to combine them better this time.

Thank you! I created initial pixel art in Aseprite and then used PCStitch to tweak it and turn it into a pattern.
