ha, that's awesome! lovely pattern and colors you got there

only the bottom left corner the stitch seems to be out of line. other than that i love the wonky shape, very cool

the principle for creating the patterns is the same, might even be easier, cos you dont have to use any pathfinder options, if you limit the pattern area to the canvas (which wouldnt work in Illustrator that way). the stitched brush on the edges wont work tho, you would probably have to do each manually (as I cannot think of a PS way to do that now )

I really think the brush is the only thing that wont work in PS

thank you

tho i tend to rage at something when i can't draw it correctly (position or anatomy) and sometimes just end up giving up on it XD
