Hello! Thank you all for drooling over my sugar cookies. They were dutifully inhaled as is Proper Cookie Etiquette. I wondered if I would miss another Gifted Gorgeousness post this month. Why? Remember that I had a new computer build? Well, the battery backup/surge protector for it caught. On. FIRE.
ಠ_ಠ
I think I set a new world record for the speed of shutting down my computer. Luckily there was no harm done to the computer and only minimal smoke to the house. I won't use my computer without adequate protection so I had to wait for a new backup to arrive. Ugh. It arrived yesterday, whew!

Anywhoodle, you are here for some gorgeousness, not things catching on fire! This is a c-c-combo post for both
GG and
JOJ.

YAY! Madame Rathian is done! :D I had a lot of issues with her. First trying to pick the colors. I went with the avocado DMCs for their brightness. The olives would've been more "true" perhaps. The original glyph had her eye blue like Rathalos (see below) but at no point does she have blue eyes in game! They're golden! So, I picked a drab sort of brownish yellow that I still don't know if I like. Another issue was the lack of symmetry. I wish I had made the pattern better! Her tail came out well though, and that's her
annoying important part. Her only goal in life is to poison you with it.

Technical Details- "Rathian" glyph from Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, pattern charted by me.
- 2 over 1 on 20-count light tan jobelan fabric.
- Finished size: 3.50 x 3.50" (9 x 9 cm).
- Started: February ??, Finished: July 8. 9+ hours, not including infinite floss issues.
I intended to continue on with these glyphs as part of Just One July but seeing as I needed a computer to make the next pattern, that didn't happen. I unfaithfully worked on knitting in the meantime. Of course once I set things up again, the next one just fell into place! If you know your monsters, perhaps you can guess by this (preliminary) floss toss:

This one will be fun. That is assuming I will have time to stitch. This post is going up on the day Monster Hunter Generations is released here and of course two copies were pre-ordered. I am going to bet my guy flies home from work and we'll never be productive again. \ :D /
Aw, she's lovely. Or should that be fearsome?
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month. I don't know the game so I can't comment on the realism but the two do look good together.
ReplyDeletePlease try not to have a flood or typhoon next month, no excuses for missing GG will be accepted!
I don't have any idea who Rathian is ,however I'm happy that you finished a project. Sorry about your computer troubles.
