Since Vallos asked that question about cross stitching a complete Luis Royo picture, I have upgraded my conversion program so it produces conversions that can stand alongside the best commercial programs. After two very successful pictures I obtained permission from Luis Royo (via Pilar San Martin) and have started to tackle this image of Luz.
(The numbers are the chart page divisions showing a map of up to 77 x 98 stitches)
Current progress is visible here:

The picture contains 110,730 stitches using 117 discrete colours from 133 different thread colours (most stitches in the image use 2 different thread colours in the needle to create a blended colour to more accurately represent the colour on the image). I hope to finish in the year 2020, as I am swapping over monthly between it and another 98000 stitch picture. The stitches are on 28 count fabric, and each stitch covers an area 0.9x0.9mm. I started in January this year.
The picture will come out 10% darker than the original, and at the moment the colours look a bit strange, however experience with my previous pictures shows that as the rest of the picture emerges, the way you see existing parts changes quite significantly.
Regards,
Richard.
