this is so beautiful! I'm astonished that you stitched it straight from paint.
Have you thought of making another group of cross stitching this time using DC characters?

Thank you. This one will always be special to me because it was the first large detailed pattern I ever made on Paint. It's not that hard to stitch off of Paint. Once you zoom into 800% and then use the show grid option you have a graph to go by. Granted making the pattern from a picture that has shaded colors in it isn't easy.

I had thought of doing a pattern of Batman but never got around to it. Pieces this size take so long to stitch I really have to have the ambition to stitch them. And to be honest I haven't had any ambition lately.

Just curious, why did you choose daredevil to be your first big cross stitch?

huh, I never thought to use paint that way, I still think i'll stick to pre-grided patterns though. ;)

Ah, I know the feeling of not having any ambition, well, if I ever end up getting around to making a batman cross stitch, I'll hit you up so you can either make one that's better than mine, or change your reason to "oh well, someone else already did it" :D

My main reason for doing Daredevil was the movie. I have always been a big fan of the movie and one night while watching it on tv I had an inspiration. I stood up and asked myself, "Greg if you can take a tiger or a tiger paw and convert it into a pattern on paint then who's to say you can't do it with Daredevil?"

I went straight to it. Found a picture online that I liked. Made a pattern from it. Doctored it up a bit because it had way too much cable from the tool he carries just flying around nowhere. Choosing colors was not easy but I managed. And the end result is what you see here.
