4.13.14 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Basketball season has a nasty habit of drawing my attention away from cross stitching, but I have made some significant progress since my last update in January.

Back then, I wasn't close to finished with a Demon Hipster Chick's hair, now her face is completely done, as is her left arm. 

Maybe with basketball behind us, I can remember to get more accomplished and update more regularly!

1.12.14 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Well, hello 2014!

This is taking longer than expected, I suppose. 

In any case, I finished the Demon Hipster Chick I was working on last time, and have moved on to yet another one. I will have my revenge on Matthew Patel for this. 

It's always top down, so you can see just the start of the new DHC's hair to the left of the finished DHC. 

12.8.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

So, I'm really bad at updating. 

In my defense, I've been busy writing about three very successful college soccer and volleyball programs over at Anonymous Eagle. That's caused me to not have a lot of time to work on my Scott Pilgrim cross stitch project. 

But, with the volleyball season ending yesterday, I have some time to work on it while watching episodes of Ring Of Honor. I see that there's been enough progress since the last update to make this worthwhile, so let's show you what's going on.

In my last update, I hadn't finished the Demon Hipster Chick's head. Now, I'm down to her skirt, and all I have left to finish up is her left leg. There's actually not that much of it visible, as Matthew Patel is right below her. With a little bit of luck, I might be able to finish her up today and move to the left for another DHC.

10.3.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Oh, right, this. 

So, it's been a couple of months, huh? Bad news: I haven't gotten much accomplished relative to how long it's been since the last update. Good news: I have some progress to show you!

Last time, you could only see some DHC hair. Now she's got a face and some arms! Fun, huh?

Well, time to go make this obsolete by getting back to work!

8.5.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Last week was a full project shot, so this week, we're back to a focused picture.

I finished the Demon Hipster Chick I was working on in that one, so this is the start of a new one. You can see her right hand above her head. The more I look at it, I think that the arm I stitched is actually Stacey's arm stretching down to her pocket and not the DHC's arm.

There's a lot more of this DHC visible than the first one, so the next update will probably still be on this DHC. 

7.28.13 Scott Pilgrim Full Project Update

Ok, so it's been five months since I did one of these. I blame basketball.

Anyway. 

Back in February, I was still working on. Envy. Since then, I've finished her off, added Stacey Pilgrim and Lynette Guycott, a pig and a duck, and started on one of Matthew Patel's Demon Hipster Chicks. I figured once I got her neckline on her tank top done, it would be a good spot to stop for an update. 

7.19.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Well.

Over a month between updates. Terribly sorry about that, but once Stacey was finished, it took a while to get anything worth looking at on one of Matthew Patel's Demon Hipster Chicks. 

Now you can see most of her hair and most of her eyes as well, so you can actually tell what you're looking at. This particular DHC is cut off from view at mid-torso, so it shouldn't take very long to finish her. 

6.18.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Two weeks ago: Stacey didn't even have a nose. 

Today: she has most of her shirt. 

Over there, just to the right of her neck, you can see where the hand of a Demon Hipster Chick will go. 

Off I go to make this picture obsolete....

6.2.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

BEHOLD!

It's Stacey Pilgrim's eyes!

I'd have more done below her eyes, but I ran out of the 437 thread. So instead, I went back up top & worked on her hair. 

Stacey's pretty small, so the next update might be of Matthew Patel's Demon Hipster Chicks. 

5.22.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Almost done with Lynette!

All that remains is finishing her left boot. The gap in her right boot is from the horn of one of Matthew Patel's Demon Hipster Chicks. 

I think up next will be Stacey Pilgrim. That will allow me to work on three of the DHC back to back instead of stitching two and then moving to Stacey. 

5.9.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Ok, so nearly two weeks between updates, huh?

Last update was of the small animals at Todd's feet, so I wanted to get a decent amount done on the next character before the next update. 

The next character is Lynette Guycott, the drummer for The Clash At Demonhead. What you can see is her head (duh), most of her right arm, and most of her right hand. Her left arm might end up going faster, since that's her bionic arm, at least in the drawing that this project is replicating. 

4.27.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Todd Ingram is done.

You can see his left foot in part behind Envy's boots. As was the case with Envy's boots, there's a gap in Todd's foot for Roxy's sword.

Why is there a small bird & pig by Todd's feet? The world may never know.

Next up: Lynette Guycott.

4.14.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Most of Todd is done.

His left foot is in shadow behind Envy, but there's not much of it, so this will be the last update focused on Todd.

Next up, you ask? Either the bird & pig at Todd's feet or Lynette Guycott. Lynette will be the next human I work on either way.

4.5.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Todd's arm did not take as long to sew as I expected.

I've already finished with his arm, and his hand and wrist is almost done. From there, it's just a matter of getting through the accents & shading on his clothes.

Todd's surrounded by a lot of other characters, so you're going to get to see more and more of them as I progress further.

3.25 Scott Pilgrim WIP

February 10th was the last one, huh?

Had a stretch of not getting much accomplished, but I did get Envy's leg done, so I'm all done with her. Since you can't really tell much about Todd Ingram till I get his whole head in, I figured I'd wait until I got that far.

Got a little bit into his neck, and honestly, that's mostly done now. Todd's body should go pretty quickly since it's mostly white. His arm might take a while, though.

Anyway, Todd's head:

2.10.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Ok, full project shot!

Last time I did one of these back in November, I was almost done with Gideon's hair.

You can see a gap in Envy's right boot because that's where Roxy's sword is. It's probably going to be like that for a while as I keep going to the left.

Next up: Envy's other leg and her right arm as well.

1.31.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

It's been 11 days since an update, and I've finally made enough progress to share it with you.

Envy's dress is completely done, so now I have to choose between proceeding to her legs and boots or taking care of her right arm first. I'm leaning towards her legs first since I'll move on to Todd and his vegan powers after I finish with Envy, and Todd's right by Envy's arm.

This is the ninth straight regular update, so next time will be a full project shot, so get excited for that!

1.20.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

Envy's hair is done!

I elected to stitch her face and move from left to right to make everything as simple as possible for me. From here, I move on to her dress. It's got a bit of a wild pattern to it, but there's a lot of white in it, too, so it might end up going pretty quickly.

1.11.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

I used to do these things every week, didn't I?

Well, I've gotten a lot accomplished in the last week, so here's an update just seven days since the last one!

The light pink that makes up the majority of Envy's hair is finished, and I'm almost done with the right side of her hair (the left as you're looking at it). You can see where I'm not quite done with it at the bottom. You may have also noticed the white gap just left of center. That's going to be her eyebrow, and since there's some more black stitching nearby, I wanted to fill in the space in between the two parts first.

I'm trying to decide if I want to do all of her hair before I start working on her face. Part of me says work left to right, the other part says I'll hate that I put all the red shades away for such a short amount of time just to bring them back out again. We'll see what happens.

1.4.13 Scott Pilgrim WIP

The tiny orange bird next to Gideon's head is done, so I've skipped past that and moved on to Envy's hair. I waited until I finished the main section of her hair before posting an update.

From here, there's lots of accent colors and shading work going on to finish off Envy's hair. I've left more around Envy in the picture than I normally would so you can see where in the project she is.
