SKYRIM DRAGON CROSS STITCHI made this using 7 shades of grey on 18-count black aida. It took me a few days to complete. I didn't feel like using a hoop because this was just a small project for fun, but it definitely shows.
It was a nice piece to stitch while taking a break from a bigger piece, which is being stitched using a frame (so a lot neater).

You can also tell I didn't spent a lot of time on it by looking at the back

I still like it though, and I hope you do as well!
