Artist's Comments

I was given some information from a fellow DA member regarding the original picture I used to make this pattern.

It was drawn by Bryan Hitch and it's the "Ultimate" version of Captain America. Ultimate versions had some costume changes. That explains no wings on his mask. And in the second version, he wore a helmet.


This is by far the best piece of cross-stitch I have ever done. The time I spent on this is probably 3-4 months. I stopped working on it many times but eventually finished it. The sunlight hitting the shield was a project of its own and it turned out so well.


INFORMATION:
Pattern size: 166 x 221 stitches
Aida Used: 14 count
Number of threads used: 45 DMC

This is so cool! I love that the colors really converted well to the fabric/floss. It looks excellent! How long did it take you to do?

It's hard to say how long it actually took since I set it down so many times. I must have gone a month without working on it at one time. But i'd say a total of 5 months. I mean that's not working 24/7. It took a long time. That's the best I can put it.

Yes it took me a while to find the correct colors and it was a bitch to stitch. Lots of time and effort went into Cap.

Pieces of work with this much graphics take too long to produce them for selling. I mean with a job and what small life I have the fastest I can get one of these done is 2 months. And that's if I work my butt off. They have sentimental value as well. You put so much time and effort into one of these you don't really want to give them up. Besides you couldn't pay what i'd ask.
