So... I finally made a deviantart account to show some of my needle work stuff.
http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/ (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/)
If you're a devart member, send me llamas! ;)
I will be adding more stuff in the coming days but the cross stitch projects that Lely is waiting for will be posted at the right time when my page gets more traction. Reality: I need to use a good camera with excellent background lighting for those cross stitches, so they would have to wait.
-
DA has crocheting now? I did not know that. That's neat I suppose.
-
Deviant Art does a lot of things artistically related now. You'd be surprised at what you might find.
PS Shiroi Koumori, my bro is also on Deviant Art. You can find his stuff by looking up 'Kypsilon'.
-
One Llama for U!
Deviant Art has had all sorts of stuff besides drawings and photos as long as I've been on it and it's been at least 5 years since I joined. There are a lot of good tutorials on how to make all kinds of artsy things too.
-
@X: I've seen your brother's work. He should post more stuff.
@Inccubus: Thanks for the Llama!
-
You should tell him, and also tell him whom the recommender is :D
-
On a break from crocheting...
And made a Lucario papercraft. Wheee~

-
Cool! You almost can't tell it's paper craft. :)
-
Nice work Shiroi!
-
If you can model like that with paper, you should consider trying 3D modeling and texturing.
-
Added to Watchlist. :)
-
@X, Belmontoya: Thanks guys!
@uzo: I am too lazy to try learning that. :P Maybe, in the future, who knows.
@Dracula9: Sent a llama! :)
-
Super hot, Shiroi! You could make a killing with those on Etsy.
-
Sad to say, I don't live in the USA and I don't trust my country's postal system.
-
Ah, that's true. I'd forgotten you were outside the U.S. (darn your great English lol ;3) Still, nice work.
-
Thanks Laina. :D

sick stitches, brah

My Alucard Cross Stitch is up! (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/Alucard-Dawn-of-Sorrow-Cross-Stitch-520964632?q=gallery%3AShiroiKoumori&qo=0)
Lelygax, this is what you've been waiting for.
-
Added to watch list! That's some gorgeous work you've done. Can't wait to see what the future holds!

You are the one with the Evangelion song on your dA username?
And.. this is not Castlevania related but this is a massive cross stitch that I did.

Yup, that's me! I like how it matches my Dungeon name. :p
-
So I've uploaded 2 deviations this week...
1. Saoirse from Song of the Sea (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/Saoirse-Song-of-the-Sea-527581934)
This is a great animated film. Watch it if you have time.
Oh and this work got the attention of the animation studio who made it. haha. 8)
2. Nocturne of Recollection Alucard (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/Alucard-Nocturne-of-Recollection-Cross-Stitch-528601719)
I think after this, I have enough Alucard to sustain me for a year or two. ;D
-
This is ridiculously cute :D

Riley from Pokemon DPPt (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/Riley-Pokemon-DPPt-Cross-Stitch-546261272)
Next stop... Digimon. hahahaha. Which characters (human + partner digi) do you think I would stitch?
-
Well, aside from being a Castlevania fan, I'm also a metalhead -- I run a metal forum called Forces of Steel (http://forcesofsteel.com).
-
I had to make a wedding sampler (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/Wedding-Sampler-Cross-Stitch-558556790?q=gallery%3AShiroiKoumori&qo=0) for my friend's wedding. :)
-
You should make a thread called "Shameless elf promotion" where all you talk about is the elf from Dragon's Crown.
-
I was thinking more on the likes of Legolas. I still remember those days.
-
My newest completed work:
Ken and Wormmon Cross Stitch (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/Ken-and-Wormmon-Cross-Stitch-564748006)

Just saw your gallery, nice work.
I particularly like the Alucard (Nocturne) and Gebel cross stitch.

Thank you. Those two pieces have the most complicated patterns.

Genya Arikado (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/Genya-Arikado-Dawn-of-Sorrow-Cross-Stitch-596757832)
I'm entering this one for a gaming cross stitch contest.
-
I don't blame you for entering it. Good luck!
-
MY Genya Arikado cross stitch won 3rd place and I got 2 cross stitch patterns as my winnings. hahaha!
Anyway, the purpose of me resurrecting this thread is....
I have another mini stitched work "Noctis Bag Tag (http://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/FFXV-Noctis-Cross-Stitch-Bag-Tag-640011848)".
I am just taking a break from my huge project which I started last March and still is currently somewhere around 52% done.
-
I totally forgot about this thread, it was a good revisit. I would like to know which entries have won 1st and 2nd since its hard to believe that you didnt got 1st place with your Arikado entry.
-
@Lelygax: The top 2 winners deserve it. Here's the link to the winners: http://stitchingpirates.deviantart.com/journal/GAMER-S-DELIGHT-CONTEST-WINNERS-ANNOUNCED-588193026 (http://stitchingpirates.deviantart.com/journal/GAMER-S-DELIGHT-CONTEST-WINNERS-ANNOUNCED-588193026)

-
Wow, 1st and 2nd are really crazy too, Im glad that I asked you to share.
What you plan to cross-stitch now? Open to suggestions?
-
It is a hard core group with lots of really talented stitchers.
I am still working on my giant cross stitch project which is already 7 months in the making and not yet done. People are right on the estimated completion time of one year.
Plus I have 2 mini commissions. I've already started on one.
And work is still eating me alive. I want the school term to end already.....
Feel free to suggest, however, there are no guarantees that I'd make them since I also have plans for other stuff. This is a problem with a craft that takes a long time to finish --loads of pending projects.
-
I was going to suggest something from Brave Fencer Musashi. But its better not, I don't wanna to burden you even more.
Wow 1 year, it should be really huge. It will be like a poster?
-

It is gonna be 21 by 17 inches so yeah, poster size.

Thanks! :)

Considering how similar cross stitch looks to pixel art, I think you might do well in pixel art too.

I did win in one of our forum sprite contests. But I'd rather host those contests than take part, since there are far better spriters here. Besides stitching gives me a niche area of expertise plus it is a stress reliever for me.
-
I made another Noctis from his sprite form in FFBE.

This time it's Nyx Ulric from his sprite form in FFBE.

I haven't used my DA account in years, and seems I have been missing some really awesome stuff there.
These are beautiful! Shiroi Koumori, you have an amazing talent.
Wish I could send you more than one llama because those skills deserve all of them!
-
Thanks! Hahaha.
-
For a words of wisdom contest:
Walk Tall (https://shiroikoumori.deviantart.com/art/Walk-Tall-Cross-Stitch-Bag-Tag-FFXV-707297759)
I hope I win. hehehe.
-
Looks really nice, Love the idea of having the quote both in Japanese and English, and your take on the flowers, and how detailed they look. I'm pretty confident that you will do great on the contest but wanted to post to wish you good luck anyway!
-
Oh my god! I won 1st place!
https://stitchingpirates.deviantart.com/journal/WORDS-OF-WISDOM-CONTEST-WINNERS-ANNOUNCED-692850381
Wheeeeeeee~!
-
So, shameless Self Promotion, eh?
I have created an Etsy shop for pendants and things.
**Clicky** (https://www.etsy.com/shop/JDFGeekyDesigns)
For Castlevania stuff, I'm selling the Combat Cross from LoS, and an Aria of Sorrow Bat Cross Pendant.
Check 'em out!

-
Those are lovely Jorge.
The blacked parts are well placed.
I adore the BotDM pendant.
-
@Shiroi Koumori: See? I knew you were going to win! Congratulations!
@Jorge D. Fuentes: Wow these are beautiful! Are they limited or do you plan do more of them later? because I'd love to get the Combat Cross eventually.
-
@AdrianTepes: Thanks! You've got 6th sense. hehe.
I know Jorge can make a lot of duplicates for those silver pieces, he has the molds and patterns on hand.
-
Yeah, like Shiroi said, I can make more.
There are already over a dozen silver crosses out there. ;)
-
@Shiroi Koumuri: Well, let's say vampires have our own kind of magic ;)
@Jorge D. Fuentes: Makes me really glad to know that, I really don't want to miss the chance to own one of those.
Have you ever thought of making them on a different, cheaper material as well?
I have the same issue Shiroi Koumuri has, and I can't trust 100% on my country at all. In fact I had a couple of online buys "getting lost forever" in customs in the past, so I'm kinda reluctant to risk buying valuable stuff.
-
@AdrianTepes:
You can't get cheaper (and yet still Precious) than Silver, plus it lends itself well to the look.
My workplace is phasing out non-precious metal work so I can no longer do stuff in Brass or Bronze, but honestly, Silver is the way to go with this.
And yeah, custom pieces always end up expensive.
I hope someone orders them in Gold, someday. :D
-
I hope someone orders them in Gold, someday. :D
Lol Jorge. Gold is expensive for the size of those pieces. :)
-
It's true! Even 10K, when calculated for size/weight, pegs the Combat Cross at around $250-350. xD
-
Since this is my thread. I can add stuff to it!
I'm finally done with another cross stitch!
Pretty Little Tokyo (https://www.deviantart.com/shiroikoumori/art/Pretty-Little-Tokyo-Cross-Stitch-769893830)
Enjoy naming the buildings. :)
And I can finally start with a special pixel art that theplottwist helped polish. :)
-
Here's the finished cross stitch project in collaboration with @theplottwist.
Sleeping Noctis (https://www.deviantart.com/shiroikoumori/art/Sleeping-Noctis-Cross-Stitch-811393735)

Plugging my sister's ig account for her watercolor paintings. https://www.instagram.com/dustybunnyart/ (https://www.instagram.com/dustybunnyart/)
-
Those are nifty! 8)
Your Pretty Little Tokyo I found the most interesting due to the design you chose. Must have been difficult to choose what you wanted on the image since the actual city itself offers much.
-
Oohhh... I just came back. Too much marathon anime watching. Lol
Thanks for the comment X!

The fruit of anime binge watching
Shoto Todoroki Cross Stitch (https://www.deviantart.com/shiroikoumori/art/Shoto-Todoroki-Cross-Stitch-852790324)
-
Nice!
-
Thanks! Prunyuuu~
-
Since I made this, I have the right to resurrect this! HAHAHAHA!
I forgot to cross post my new cross stitch project. https://www.deviantart.com/shiroikoumori/art/Cat-Cat-Cat-910459171 (https://www.deviantart.com/shiroikoumori/art/Cat-Cat-Cat-910459171)
I'm also making another more difficult one featuring snow leopard cubs which is already on the back stitching stage.
-
Out of curiosity Shiroi, you wouldnt happen to have an etsy or anything where you sell these, would you? I might buy one if so :O
-
Sorry Gunlord, I don't sell these.
But you can easily learn to stitch since it is just a matter of transforming pixel art into thread colors.
Craft stores sell Aida cloth and embroidery thread. Start with something small with not so much colors then move up.
-
Here's my newest piece!

Awww, cute widdle Kitties :)

Another cat themed cross stitch - with the actual cat meow-del beside it. hehehe

-
That cat almost reminds me of grumpy cat, lol. Not the cross-stitch but the actual feline. And I'll assume that the cross-stitch is of that cat too :)
