As a lurker in the Manbroidery flickr group, I can tell you that Kidmissile makes all kinds of awesome stuff – amigurumi, video game cross stitches, all quality – BUT THIS ONE MOVES!Kidmissile cross stitched each frame individually, photographed each one and then assembled it with Animation Shop. The subject matter is from the video game Joust. You can check out Kidmissile’s flickr photostream to see more crafty goodness and lots of other cool stuff – you’ll be glad you did!

Craftster Pick of the Week! – Benjibot

Beefranck — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:44:34 +0000

Time for another look at some of the great work featured in the Needlecraft section at Craftster. Note: Although they’re the pick of this week, they may have appeared before this week.

The pick this week was over a year in the making. It’s benjibot’s epic work, all 40 monsters from the NES game Dragon Warrior represented in cross stitch form.

It started off with a Slime:

Then into the tougher monsters:

And finally, the Dragonlord in his final form:

You can see more pictures in the original post on Craftster or the set in benjibot’s photostream on flickr. The best place to go for a really in-depth look with information on each monster is the special section of his blog – which is full of all kinds of cool stuff. Thanks to his etsy shop, you can even own one of these bad boys!

The amount of work that went into this is mind-boggling. I was lucky enough to watch the project unfold on flickr over the last year. It was really great to see it all come together with the final piece. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing his future projects!
