His Horrible Little Face. Fanart for Disco Elysium 28 count evenweave in a 3″ hoop. In response to more requests over on Steam, here’s the pattern for the greatest thing I’ve ever created for cross stitch purposes: Cuno’s evil little face from Disco Elysium. See the bottom of the post for my best guesses at the colors I used, and what symbols they relate to. Notes I’m posting this at a time when I can’t create a nice clean pattern, so here’s a scan of my notebook. The letters are made with a mix of normal stitches and backstitch/double running stitch. For placement, I recommend looking at the finished bit, and starting with the upper-left-hand corner of the F. The notes can function as a pattern, but you have to scoot the !? over if you’re working in a small hoop. Also of note: I experimented with using some double running stitch on the edges of his face. Main pulling that dark purple shadow color up around the orange hair. I decided it didn’t help much and didn’t bother to pull it out. But, if it works for you, it’s a great technique for solidifying wobbly edges. Legal Things This pattern was created using the original game art, and then pixelating it into something workable. So, I basically traced the original art. You have my permission to use this pattern to create your own piece for personal use, and only personal use. If you want to post pictures of your finished work, please credit the game developers for their amazing game art, and me for working up the pattern.
