Fun With Pixlr (Photoshop) Part 118

Hair was here then it was gone. Click here for previous Fun With Pixlr.


Krypto The Superdog Perler Bead

This is what I'm telling myself in the last design I am making for the year. I did that last year and cranked out one more so I am not gonna finish my end of the year video until its actually closer to the end of the year. After seeing the Superman trailer I wanted to make this so I did.

Portrait Perler Bead

I made this design of my cousin just cause I like her. This came out well for such a small size. I used an AI image she had made a while ago for the template. This like most portrait ones looks better in person.

Christmas Ornament Perler Beads

This morning I decided to make some Christmas ornaments based off of sprites found online.

Special Dog Perler Bead

I made this image of a special dog for my cousins friend. I have always said that I would not make images of folks pets or children and broke my own rule. I like the way this came out and hope she enjoys it as a Christmas gift. Pretty sure she doesn't know I exist so its safe posting this here.





Raphael TMNT Perler Bead

Last week I made this old school style Raph from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I have made so many TMNT designs over the years. This was based off of an old drawing and then pixelated.

Man-Thing Perler Bead

Made this big Man-Thing design a couple of days ago. I have wanted to make one of him for a while and finally had enough greens. There are actually three shades but its hard to tell.

Ernie Barnes Perler Beads

For the last week I have been making these Ernie Barnes paintings in bead form. I was gonna do them big style and then realized I could make them using just four rectangles. I got frames just for these. My lady got one but says she is gonna give it back so there is a set.

Shade The Changing Man Perler Bead

Shade The Changing Man is one of my favorite characters. I got into him after buying these four packs of comics 7/11 used to have. I ended up going back every week and finding more randomly and at Golden Apple. Its how I discovered @chrisbachalo.

I found this sketch a while back and deleted it and then kept it in my folder but thought it would be too massive. I made it smaller and like how it came out.

Black Mermaid Perler Bead

Made this Black mermaid for one of my cousins. I used the Pixlr AI program to come up with some images and this one worked best for me. I also made it smaller than I originally planned (was gonna be 8 rectangles instead of 4). Got a small canvas on Amazon and here we go. Love the way this came out.

Beta Ray Bill Perler Bead

For a while I have wanted to make some design of Beta Ray Bill and they were way too big or done in an art style that looked weird. I did this in two big pieces that I connected and love how it turned out.

(Another) Fugees Album Cover Perler Bead

Made another version of the Fugees album The Score last night. Made one before in mini bead form a while back.


Ganondorf Perler Bead

Made this big ass Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time. I have wanted to make something based off of this design for a long time and had the colors and will to do it. Took just a few hours after work to complete.

Deadeye Duck Perler Bead

I made this Deadeye Duck from Bucky O'Hare a few days ago. I have wanted to make one of him for so damn long but knew it would be too damn big or I didn't have the right colors. Well, the stars aligned and I was able to finally make him and I'm happy with how it turned out.

Miles Morales Perler Bead On Canvas

Made this Miles Morales Spiderman for a coworkers son. Took me forever to figure out a design that wouldn't be too massive and didn't use so many grey beads that it looked washed out. 


Animaniacs Perler Bead

While waiting for beads to arrive and not knowing what I wanted to make I decided to make this Animaniacs bead design based off of a video game.

Michael Jackson Thriller Perler Beads

I told my friend I wanted to make these Michael Jackson designs based on the three version of him from Thriller in regular, zombie, and werewolf form.

Gambit Perler Bead

A few days ago I decided I wanted to make a small Gambit design. Well, it ended up not being all that small and a weird ass pattern to make. I started with the cards up top, messed up second part and had to start over that, and then finished it up last night.


This didn't even make visual sense until I was more than halfway through it but I really like how it came out. Had to iron it in five random pieces. Used four brown shades, two blues, two reds, and some gray. Cards were purple and a leftover pink from my Sentinel

Lt. Vasquez Aliens Perler Bead

I made this a few days ago but it had been too gloomy to get a decent photo. This woman was so damned cool I had to make her.

Vanity Perler Bead

This is the singer/actress Vanity. If you don't know who she is that is your fault. Look her up. She is great. Continuing my theme of favorite things from the 80's.

Tweety Bird Perler Bead

I made this Tweety Bird for someone at work. Other than to be a decent human being and make something for someone that asked I was surprised that I had not made one of this character before. They also wanted a butterfly so I pixelated one.

Big Trouble In Little China Perler Bead

I made this Big Trouble In Little China design featuring Kim Cattrall and Kurt Russell. I like the way this came out after searching for an image to use and found this one. Using this slightly smaller canvas I was able to save a few inches of work and finished this in a few hours.
