Here it is, Part 4 of my In Stitches :omfg: I finally got this finished!!!

It seems like it’s taken forever and it’s not a project I enjoyed stitching if I am honest. Not because I hate Sephiroth (because I don’t) but the monotone colours get to you after a while and I had a major miscount at one point that required some stitching improvisation (you wouldn’t know to look at him though ;) ).

Anyway, no introduction is needed to everyone’s favourite megalomaniac!

Cloud’s nemesis, the bad guy that everyone loves to hate who was actually a nice guy in Crisis Core! But that was of course before he learned his true identity at Nibelheim, burnt the town to the ground, slaughtered its inhabitants and turned Cloud into a human kebab! *yum* :lol:

Of course, in true bad guy style, Sephiroth refuses to die and returned on 2 other occasions to remind Cloud of his pain, his brutal onslaught is at the end of Advent Children Complete is disturbingly graphic, but just goes to show how much of a menace he is with that bloody long sword of his!

Aww, bless…somehow I feel we haven’t seen the last of him…

***

He was charted using Jane Greenoff’s Pattern Creator 2 and stitched on 14-HPI antique white Aida using Anchor stranded cotton and DMC colour variations.

Yay!! He's finally finished! Thanks so much!

Uh oh! You mess up on him? Well then I'd better extra careful then. I'm almost done with Zack and I messed him up on two occasions, both involving his hair. So I see what you mean.

It looks amazing! I really admire your persistence with all of the different grays, and it paid off, too! He has fabulous final boss hair. :D

I'm not sure yet. I am trying to do a colour version of the shinra logo to compliment the b/w one that Mojo did but the kanji and lettering is proving a little difficult to chart!

I have lots of other projects I want to work on over the summer so I may give them a break for now.

Plus I've run out of aida again!

Mmm, that's a good question, I hadn't really thought about it. At the moment hes living in my work bag with all the others but I suppose I should get them framed really and then I canm have them on the wall.

The greys were annoying although there are only 3 or 4 shades. I have another design which has about 10 different shades of grey on it. It drives me nuts which is probably why I haven't done much of it!

Glad you like him =)
