I'm not sure if people will find this neat or lame, but I spent quite a long time on this so I'm going to share it regardless! I don't have the artistic skill to make comics or anything like others have for SMFFFC in the past, but what I do have is free time and determination. One of the many hobbies I fall into and then out of every few years is cross-stitching, which I learned from my mother growing up. I felt the itch to do it again, and what better image to spend a hundred hours on than one honoring YRP?

Bear in mind, I'm basically an amateur cross-stitcher. I made the pattern myself using Brave Exvius sprites that I modified in some ways to limit the number of different shades and such. That meant I had to choose my own thread colors, and that's where things went a bit wrong. Yuna's face is yellower than the rest of her skin because I changed to a better color only after doing it. I should have gone a whole shade lighter with the orange parts of Rikku's hair to keep it from all blending together. Instead of black, I used a super dark grey for Paine's sword that wound up kind of blending with the grey of her clothing. I also made a mistake on Yuna's braid. I thought it was odd that the sprite turned her hair red so I changed it, only to finally look at a picture of X-2 Yuna afterwards and realize, whoops, she wraps that hair with something red. I outlined it with red thread, for however little that fixes it.

In theory I could rip out the stitches and do those parts over, but the risk of ruining the underlying fabric makes me wary. Besides, as my mother always said, if I wanted perfection I could've just printed out a picture. A cross-stitch is supposed to look like a cross-stitch, and I suppose there's art in the imperfections too.

On that note, here it is. YRP, in position!
