Clubber Lang Perler Bead

I made this Clubber Lang from Rocky 3 last night. I had to use black beads from an older design to finish doing his legs. I wasn't gonna sit here waiting to finish a design, damn it. I like the way this came out. I used more brown beads and it is smaller than I thought it would be. I seriously figured it would be about the same size as the Apollo Creed but it is 24 inches in height making it six inches shorter. Still looks cool to me though.

Apollo Creed Perler Bead

Still on my quest to make something really cool and original. Last night I made this huge Apollo Creed Perler bead. It ended up being 30 inches tall and 10 inches wide. I took a photo of him and pixelated it and here ya go. I did his top half first down to his fist and wondered if I should keep going.

Joker (Arthur Fleck) Perler Bead

I made this Joker last night. I like the way it came out and wanna eventually put it on a canvas. I almost added more to it for the bottom and realized that I really didn't need to.

Erik Killmonger (Black Panther) Perler Bead

I just finished making this Erik Killmonger design from Black Panther played by Michael B. Jordan. For the last couple days I have wanted to make something that would be challenging. This wasn't. I love the way it turned out but this was not as hard to make as I expected it to be. This is likely gonna end up on a canvas. 

Michael Jordan Perler Bead

I made this yesterday based off of an animated gif.

MODOK Perler Bead

 I made this Perler design based off of the art of PXLFLX. I have done quite a few of his designs in the past and always love the way they come out. For whatever reason I have always wanted to make a MODOK not based on one of those Marvel VS. Capcom games.

Jack Kirby Style Grey Hulk

I know full well I didn't need to make another Hulk considering I have a massive one on my wall. But I like this one. I wanted to do the Grey Hulk in the old Jack Kirby style. 



Jack Kirby Style Thing Perler Bead

I made this late last night and this morning before I took a picture I double checked I didn't use the wrong colors because them things be looking different at night. I like Jack Kirby's style and it translates well to pixels. I took an image of his head, pixelated, and played around with the colors and made this. I like the craggily form of Thing from Fantastic Four.

Michael Jackson Moonwalker Robot Perler Bead

I made this Moonwalker robot Perler last night. Yeah. I made a lot of stuff yesterday. There is a larger robot that I could have made but that thing is crazy big and I'm not trying to have something big that I don't plan on either giving away or putting in a frame or canvas. 

Converse Perler Bead

I made this Converse in Perler form last night. I don't know who the original creator of it is and wish I did because it is a cool design. I added some extra stuff to the laces and such to spice it up a bit. 

Metal Slug Camel Perler Bead

You know how hard it is to find a camel in pixel form that is actually decent looking? Very it turns out. I made this for a friend that really likes camels. This is almost the width of the entire peg board which surprised the hell out of me. This is from Metal Slug

Dr. Doom Perler Bead

 I made this a little earlier. I like Dr. Doom and have wanted to make a design of him for years but always see the same ones and I am not in a copying mood. I took a drawing, pixelated it, played with the colors, and made this. It is larger than it looks. I had to iron two pieces together. I like the way this came out and plan on putting it on a canvas.

Cobra Commander Perler Bead (canvas added)

 A couple of days ago I kept going back and forth on what to make next. I had some designs ready to go and realized that I was just going to make them because I could and not because I thought they were particularly cool or wanted them. I remembered that I wanted to make something of Cobra Commander from GI Joe. Huge fan of the show. Got a tattoo and everything. Sing the theme from the animated film randomly. Its awesome. I made a bunch of different Perlers from the cartoon years ago (click here to see those) and decided to make something groovy. This is based off of the art of Robert Atkins whose stuff is incredible looking. 



I was gonna go with black and white and knew that would be silly. Plus I didn't have enough white beads. I did have blues and was gonna do two shades but ended up going with four. I pixelated the drawing and removed the cape because I for sure didn't have enough black beads for that part. A few hours later and melting this together from six pieces (I use one big peg board for all my art) and here it is. I wanna figure out a cool image to frame this into because this one is not going under the bed.

Another Mandalorian Perler Bead Helmet

Yeah, I know I made a Mandalorian helmet a few weeks ago but I gave that one away so I decided to make another. The shades of grey are actually darker than the others and it is smaller. This fit on one board thankfully. I like the way it came out.

Asuka Brawlhalla Perler Bead

 I did this Perler bead design of WWE wrestler Asuka from the video game Brawlhalla. It took a lot of time to change the pixels in color to where it wasn't dozens of colors for her hair alone. I really like how bright this is and how it came out.

Fun With Pixlr (Photoshop) Part 87

Still using PixlrX (not regular Pixlr) to make stuff. Its fun. Click here for previous Fun With Pixlr



Mr. T, Daddy Green, Radio Raheem Perler Beads

 I made these Perler beads this morning based off of designs by illmosis (James Beaver) on Twitter. I love how these are based in the style of River City Ransom and are easily recognizable. There's Mr. T. Daddy Green from The Last Dragon. And Radio Raheem from Do The Right Thing.

Steve The Gnome/Felix The Cat Perler Bead

I made these Perler beads of Steve The Gnome from Gravity Falls and a Felix The Cat. I've wanted to make a Felix for a long time and know someone who really likes him so I made it. As for Steve, I have never seen Gravity Falls but like the way it looks and have made other designs from the series in the past.

Rogue X-Men Perler Bead

I made this big ass Rogue from X-Men Perler. I found an image, pixelated it, and then made a few mistakes along the way. This ended up being 28 inches tall. I'll include the grid I made for this. Even though I make grids I still end up making changes in terms of colors and the amount I actually use.

ZX Spectrum Falkor

 Made this Falkor from The Neverending Story using that ZX Spectrum style. It is kinda harder to do these than it seems.

ZX Spectrum Star Wars

 Made some more Perler beads based on Miguel Sanchez pixel art. I wanted to make the rest of the Star Wars characters but I am now out of white beads. 

ZX Spectrum Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

 I made these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles last night in ZX Spectrum style based on sprites by artist Miguel Sanchez (PixelArtM) on Dribble. These are a little bit larger than I expected them to be. I was originally going to just make the turtles but while I was on the phone just kept on going. I Like these.

ZX Spectrum The Nothing (The Neverending Story)

I made this The Nothing from The Neverending Story based off of a ZX Spectrum game. This thing looks so weird and cooler from a distance.

Angus Young AC/DC

 Just made this Angus Young of AC/DC in Perler form. Took a photo and pixelated it like usual.

Garou Perler Bead

 I made this Garou from One Punch Man last night in Perler form. I found a drawing of him and pixelated it and added color since it was originally just black and white and I so do not have enough white and grey beads right now. I like the way this came out.

Watchdog Man Perler Bead

 I made this Watchdog Man Perler bead last night. A few days ago I plowed through season two of One Punch Man and this guy popped up and I immediately thought he was the best thing ever. I found an image of him from a sticker and pixelated it and made this. Miss Jackie and I stopped off at Joann's and I was able to grab some beads since Amazon wants to take way too long to send the ones I ordered. This ended up being just as big as the peg board from top to bottom and I sighed with relief. I didn't want to melt two big pieces together. Watermark added in an attempt to keep people from stealing the image and adding it to their ebay and etsy shops. Don't be a dirtbag.

Gaki No Tsukai Perler Beads

 I made these Perler beads featuring Matsumoto and Hamada from Gaki No Tsukai. Most people know them from other shows using The Silent Library. I will watch clips from their shows and laugh like an idiot randomly. While making these I was worried about whether or not I'd be able to see who they were because these are not big. I'm happy with how they came out.
