Again with the Chibis

This time it's chibi werewolf Derek Hale.

Pattern by YijiCrafts on Etsy (aka YijiTumbles on Tumblr) based on her own adorable fan art. I would link to the pattern, but her Etsy shop appears to be on hiatus and I can’t get to it.




This isn’t a true pattern in that it doesn’t come with a floss chart. It’s up to the stitcher to pick his or her own colors. That’s why I started with this one. I’m not used to picking out my own colors, and with all the grey and black, I figured the only hard color to pick would be the pink.

Sadly, I finished this the day that Jeff Davis announced that Tyler Hoechlin would not be a main cast member in season 5. Guess I’ll have to work on the human Derek pattern while watching Teen Wolf this summer.

Isn't he a cutie? You should see the rest of her fan art. Or check out her Seed Wolf comic (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2788907/chapters/6259106) on AO3. It's still a WIP, but it's super cute.

Wow -- that is seriously dangerous levels of cute! It's very silly, but I like it.

D'awwwww...that's adorable. I love the colors that you went with, though I agree, its tough when the pattern doesn't do that for you.

It's even harder because she created her fan art first and didn't decide to make cross stitch patterns until later. As a result, she (rightfully) wasn't considering floss colors at all when she drew her fan art, so sometimes there just isn't an equivalent floss color.

Thanks! Yiji is one of my favorite fan artists. Everything she draws is super cute.
