Hey - it's been a while.  I have been focusing more on my Facebook and Tumblr accounts to keep everyone up to date.  Check them out!

Great Jaggi Trophy

I started playing Monster Hunter 3 Tri recently, which is one reason I have not posted recently.  Thought it would be pretty cool to make head mounts of the monsters from the game out of Perler beads, so I started with the Great Jaggi - the first big monster you hunt in the game.

It holds together without any glue, which is nice. Hopefully I can drag myself away from other things for long enough to make more of these.  Maybe the Royal Ludroth next?

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night series.

When I started making beadsprites I thought it would be really cool to make character portraits from various games to display.  Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has some pretty awesome sprites so I decided to start with some of them.

Alucard was my first one.  It is made up of about 3000 beads and is around 13.5"x8.5"

 

Dracula was the next one

 

And Maria Renard is the most recent one

 

I would love to keep making these, I just need to make a big bead order and get some other projects out of the way.

What do you think?  Should I keep making Castlevania portraits or should I start a different series?

Gen 5 Eevee

 

Made this little guy a while ago, only made up of about 1000 beads.  This is one of my more popular items on Etsy, and I am really happy with how this one turned out.  The ironing could have been better, but I think that might be more an issue with the sprite itself and its ears.

I think I can knock out all of the Eevolutions as soon as I get some more black beads, and if anyone has a good Sylveon sprite it would be awesome if you could direct me to one.

Pokemon Gen 1 Starter Set

I had this idea to make the starter Pokemon and the professor for each generation.  I started with the set from generation 1, and used the sprites from Pokemon Yellow.

I picked Yellow sprites because I really like the colors from that game and how limited they are within each sprite.  Each sprite only has black, white, and 2 other colors.

Prof. Oak

Bulbasaur

Squirtle

Charmander

Right now they are all separate objects, but I would like to mount them on canvas.  Any suggestions for a background picture?  I was thinking a pokeball, but finding a round canvas the right size might prove too difficult.

Welcome!

I signed up for this blog maybe a year ago and then never did anything with it.  Now might be a good time, I suppose.
I make Perler bead sprites. You can check out my shop here - right here

This is one of my favorite pieces I have made.  It is the God Gundam, from G Gundam.  This was the first large Super Robot Wars sprite I completed, and I made sure to make it one of my favorite robots from the series.  It is 13"x13" and is made up of roughly 3000 beads.  The orange and some of the yellow on the halo behind the Gundam are made of see-through beads, which look really cool when light shines through them.
Let me know what you think of this one, and if you have any suggestions or comments!  I look forward to hearing from you!
