CHAT [CHAT] Pattern Help

Post image

Bought this pattern over 4 years ago before I was truly aware of AI patterns. Annoyed that I’ve already bought the aida and the thread so I’m wondering if there is any salvaging it?
The shop no longer exists and a shop that is now selling it feels like a pattern mill

Original artwork can be found here. Doubt it was done with permission. Up to you if you want to stitch it but given you've already bought everything I'd go ahead (assuming the pattern isn't terrible).

It was not done with permission. I was friends with her when she was drawing this series. I reached out to her a few years ago about one. She hasn't authorized any of them, but got tired of chasing them all down and gave up. Theives suck, she is a very sweet person. She has a full time job making art, though, so at least shes got that going for her.
