My Little Pony Cross stitch?

[kezrob23]

nawww, thankyou i'm working on ts now, and she is proving exremely tricky!! i did get a photo of g1 apple jack to come out not too bad, will see if i can get that one up. photos are the worst!!! so many blurred edges and such, and i end up erasing too much!!

okies, here's one from one of my photos. of the few i've done, this one came out the best. it's done in virtual stitches, rather than colour blocks/symbols

It was mentioned that the perler ponies would work as a pattern; any image that is zoomed in to see the pixels would work as a pattern too. I only did the one cross-stitch and that was years ago, but I used a zoomed-in image for the pattern.

Photos are really hard!!  The only times I used a photo, I overlayed the cross-stitch grid and "drew" in the pattern by hand using the photo underneath as a guide.  I didn't let the program "convert" the image into stitches.

For example, this photo:

However, "cartoonish" and "line art" is a lot easier to convert by hand!!  (I can make an almost exact replica of it into a cross-stitch pattern!)

I am just beginning to do cross stitch and never thought of doing ponies.  This thread has me all excited now!  Thanks for all the great sites everyone!

PandoraFox is right than in the letter of the law using Hasbro lineart without a merch/use license is not allowed. But I think we can see from the amount of fan creations out there thanks to G4, Hasbro are not Disney and are therefore much more understanding, appreciative and liberal with their creations. As long as they are not commercially being used in any way that they shouldnt be, as long as they are not being used for profit or are small enough to be not worth worrying about and as long as they are not damaging the brand.

These are adorable I ll have to share a couple of the patterns I have created of images. You are right photos can use hundreds of shades but thankfully the software I use can be set to different thread totals and it therefore adapts to more manageable thread numbers.

The Applejack you have created is gorgeous!

Thanks!! I think I have a new hobby now I can also lower the number of thread colours used, but spesh on the photos, it takes a lot of definition out when I do. But still having fun playing. It's very therapeutic!!

I love the idea here. Has anyone seen the MLP hearts floating around the internet? I found a cross stitch pattern of one someone did and I was so excited! I thought, if I could just change the colours and the mane, I could do my own! And then I realised it would be so hard to just edit it... so I've had to draw one myself And then grid over it and 0_0;;; so much work... but once I get stitching, it'll be such a relief...

That sounds adorable!

This really fascinating!

I loved cross stitching until my eyes went bad. I find that it is just to hard to do it anymore even with glasses. I miss it. Some of these pattern ideas make me want to try and figure out how to see and try it again!

I just played with some vectors and made a great pic to pattern-ify. It's Cadance and Shining Armor in front of the Crystal Heart, and I'm gonna make it into a wedding record for my brother and sister-in-law.

Not a cross stitch fan, but... I made this Lemon Drop in 2004 or 2005 and vaguely remember finding the pattern online. I've said in another thread that I adapted it from a G1 knitting pattern, but to be honest I'm not sure anymore... Feel free to copy her if you can and/or want.
