Design was altered a bit after knitting to be simpler (pixellated picture shows better):

Panda stands out more.
Less dark green/light green forestry.
Bigger mountain.

ALSO, I created my own technique + program for making very easy-to-follow knitting patterns (see example picture above) - you can copy the look of it by downloading my ‘Walking Lego Spaceman“ (it’s free) to see how my technique works (uses Excel).

I would love to do more design work, so if anyone out there has a drawing/photo/design they would like ‘translated’ to my technique, I’m thinking of offering this as a service at some point :)
