A great horned owl faces you dead-on from a bare branch, ear tufts up, with a full moon rising over one shoulder. Everything orbits the eyes. They are drawn huge and golden with dark rings and single highlight drills, and because the rest of the palette stays in browns and midnight blues, those two yellow discs run the entire canvas from the moment you place them. The plumage is the clever part: real owl barring is impossibly fine, so the chart recomposes it as bold chevron bands — brown, tan, cream, repeat — stacking down the chest like roof shingles. The bands place quickly and give the bird its texture without a single fussy region. The moon is a clean pale disc that doubles as the design’s second light source, and sparse stars keep the midnight field from going empty. Silent, dignified, slightly judgmental: everything an owl should be, in drill form. Excellent over desks and reading chairs, where its supervision belongs.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 106×106 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.
| Spec |

| Canvas |
30 × 30 cm (11.8″ × 11.8″) |
| Grid |

| Colors |
9 DMC colors, individually bagged |
With 9 DMC colors over 11,236 drills, this chart sits at the relaxed end of the catalog: long uninterrupted color runs and few tray swaps. The workload skews blue: 3 of the 9 colors are blue steps, covering 60% of the canvas, with DMC 823 alone accounting for 23% (2,535 drills). Only 1 color dips under 1% coverage, so nearly every bag in the tray gets real use.

Chart-true by construction
The mockup above is rendered drill-by-drill from the finished chart (11,236 cells,
9 colors — the exact numbers in the tables), using the deterministic pipeline
that processes every Pixelmade order: saliency-weighted DMC selection, nearest-color
mapping, no dithering. What you approve is what gets printed. Each kit is made to order —
printed, picked, and packed when you buy, MOQ 1.
