<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And so it begins...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is what I've done so far. Not that impressive, but that's about 3 hours' work so I estimate at around 144 hours for the finished product. That's not counting the first and last squares for the title that I haven't designed yet!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those that want it, here's a dropbox link to a hi-res version of the whole pattern that cross stitch designer spat out. Again, I don't have the names of the colours as I just judged them by eye and what I have in my thread box. if you want to be more specific you can probably find a lot of the true sprite colours online by googling around but I don't really have time for all that. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The eagle-eyed amongst you may realise I've already made a slight mistake in that the left hand side of the B is too thin. When I realised it was too late to go back and unpick it all, but I'm hoping it won't be that noticeable in the end (crosses fingers!)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This seemed to get a lot of love on reddit <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/12828c/my_lonely_geek_project_is_coming_along_should_i/" rel="nofollow">(here</a>)
so I thought it deserved its own blog. I'll be finishing it off this
week, and then I will be making it into a full-on cross-stitch project.
I'll be posting WIP pics here for those that are interested. <br /><br />Once
I'm done and I've ironed out the kinks etc and worked out which colours
to use I'll put up the whole pattern, pics of the finished project and a
hi-res version for anyone who wants to copy/steal it. <br /><br />I also need to credit <a href="http://captainslam.deviantart.com/art/Megamalgamation-244280064" rel="nofollow">this guy</a> as I stole/copied some of the sprites from there.</span></div>
