Mr. T Perler Bead Cereal Box On Canvas

I put the Mr. T Perler bead design based off of the cereal box on a canvas and am all of the happy about it. Yeah, the glue is still drying but the lighting was good.

Infinity Gauntlet Perler Bead

I made an Infinity Gauntlet a while back and it was this tiny ass whatever thing that someone else had made before. Bump that. I decided to take an image of it and pixelate the thing and came up with this. I really like the way it came out. At a certain point I just started freestyling the colors and it still came out cool looking to me.

Forcing Myself To Draw 8

I was talking to this cute woman and one of us mentioned something about a grumpy goose and I said that I was gonna draw it so I did. He is a grumpy kid that doesn't want to go to school. Its weird. I dig it. I'm including the first inking and the finished version. Click here for previous Forcing Myself To Draw.



Mr. T Cereal Box Perler Bead

I am so happy with this weird thing. I made this Mr. T cereal box cover. Why? No reason. I ordered some canvas to go with this that I'm gonna paint yellow so it looks just like the cereal box. Its about 12 inches wide and finished should be close to 16 inches tall. I make such weird things. 



Harry Potter Ravenclaw Logo Perler Bead (Canvas Added)

I made this Ravenclaw logo from Harry Potter for a fan. This came out way bigger than I expected but I like that it was fast because of those mini beads I was struggling with.

Van Orton Design Style Robocop

The other day I did this Robocop based off of the art of Van Orton Design. I don't know if I have done so many of an artists' style than Jack Kirby. At the time I had a limited amount of colors so I made do with what I had but I still like the way this came out.

Lovecraft Country Perler Bead

Yay! I am so happy that I finished this Lovecraft Country design. I tried it before as you saw with mini beads and messed up but did not wanna give up on this design because I really liked it. I am including an image with the two side by side. By the way, if you wanna get fast at making regular sized designs give mini Perler beads a try. You will become noticeably faster!

Rampage Mini Perler Beads

Yesterday I made this mini Perler beads from the Rampage video game featuring the characters of Ralph, Lizzie, and George. I made these characters a few years back but wasn't happy with how I ironed them at the time. I was super careful ironing these and set the iron to 3 and not 7 like I do with regular sized beads. These things are so small and fit on one board so that helped me not ruin them.

Gus Breaking Bad Mini Perler Bead

I made this Gus from Breaking Bad using mini Perler beads yesterday. I had some problems ironing this but as of today figured out the issues I have been having. Most of the techniques I use when making regular sized Perler things are not applicable to this so I am relearning all this stuff. This is from Van Orton Design who make incredible art and I have done about five things based off of their style. My version is super simplified compared to their stuff especially since I needed this to be able to fit on a single peg board. I like the way it came out.

Ruined Mini Perler Bead Designs



Over the last couple of weeks I have made designs that ended up getting messed up. The first was for a Lovecraft Country design. I was so happy when I finished making it. I got to the table safely and ironed it thinking everything was fine. It wasn't. The beads weren't connected properly and started falling. Some were half melted. It was a mess and I was so mad when it got messed up. I spent a couple hours trying to fix it before finally tapping out. I ordered some more regular sized beads and plan on making a large version of this. I like the pixelation I did too much to just dump this.

Ghosts N' Goblins Framed Mini Perler Beads

I made this framed Ghost N' Goblins thing the other day using mini beads. It was super fun to make because since they are so small I could add more characters. I had made one before from the arcade version of the game but for this used the Nintendo sprites.

Mr. Terrific Mini Perler Bead

I made this Mr. Terrific from DC Comics a couple of days ago. I was going to make a half body version but based on the painting I was using knew that I absolutely did not have enough black beads for it. I like the just the head style I have been doing lately anyway.
