I see him now

I do hope that is true for anyone else looking at the finished cross stitch.

It does look a bit better with some distance from the piece so that the shading works rather than looking at the individual stitches.

Funnily enough, although I was sure I had closely examined it and found and eliminated all the ninja stitches, as soon as I took a picture of it the missed stitch in the corner of his eye jumped out at me.

I regularly use the digital camera to check on the look of quilts I had not considered it as a tool for the cross stitch before.

So as I am happy with how this has turned out I will now turn to the companion piece and then hopefully frame as a pair.
