Metroid And Double Dragon Wood Art

Not done making bead art but got into making wood art. I did some stuff years ago but these are smaller. I decided to start with small and simple so I made this Metroid one. Then I decided to make a double sided Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon. I learned from a failed design in between these and bought some sandpaper to smooth things out and remove excess glue. 

Double Dragon Gameboy Color Perler Beads

I made this Double Dragon Perler from Gameboy Color even though I thought I was done making things for the year. 

Large Abobo Perler Bead

Making these big versions of things is fun so I decided to make a giant Abobo. No real reason other than the fact that I like this weird ass character.

Double Dragon Perler Bead

I made this Jimmy Lee and Abobo from Double Dragon and forgot to post this. This was way harder than I expected it to be. I did it as a solid piece. I appreciate folks who can do that with large pieces so much more. I put it on a canvas with the last of my glue. 

Perler Bead Earrings

Yesterday and today I made this mini Perler bead earrings for no reason based off of Double Dragon, Galaga, Zelda, and Bubble Bobble.

Double Dragon/Legend Of Zelda Mini Perler Beads

Yes, I am still messing around with these mini Perler beads. So far I am sticking with simple video game sprites like this Double Dragon featuring the brothers during that terrible moment when you realize that to save the girl one of you has to beat the other to death. My childhood was cold.

I also made this Link from Legend Of Zelda. I was gonna do them as separate pieces but decided to have Link overlapping the dog gremlin.

Rainbow Abobo Head Perler Beads

Did these weird little Perler bead Abobo heads from Double Dragon. I planned to make one. Then maybe three. Then I figured why not just keep going? It a Rainbobo.

Double Dragon Dante

I made this version of myself in the Double Dragon style. This was harder to do than I expected. Not in execution,but in trying to super simplify myself into this style.

More Double Dragon Perler Beads

I did a bunch more of these Double Dragon Perler beads this morning. I have been trying to do more of the colors and poses. This is from the Sega version.

NES Double Dragon Perler Beads

I made these Double Dragon Perler beads a few days ago. I have made some of these before but long since took them apart to make other things. These are from the hard as hell Nintendo version. There are only a few more characters to make from this game but I am very much out of black beads right now.

More Canvas And Framed Perler Beads

I finally put my Double Dragon Perlers on a canvas I painted real quick. I also added my Thwomp to a frame I found while cleaning. I also included an updated image of my wall.

Double Dragon Arcade Perler Beads

Made these Double Dragon Perler beads based off of the arcade version. These were so rough to do. I don't know if you have ever tried to make these from pixels but here's how it goes. The pixels are half an inch big. I have to blow them up to 800% and hope for the best. I choose to have them ready to fight because if you have ever beaten that game you know the ending is brutal! I also added a random image of some of the beads I have done the last couple months.

Mike Tyson, Buster Bunny Perler Beads (update)

I headed to Joann's and got some more black Perler beads so expect me to be making more of these. This time I decided to make a large Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Buster Bunny from Tiny Toons, and a random Mario Bros. coin. The Tyson one ended up being 21 inches high which was almost twice as big as I expected it to be. I got some cool superhero ones I'm gonna be doing next.

Decided to add a green Abobo from Double Dragon I made this morning.

Beads For The Week

I made a few simple Perler Bead patterns this week. I love the Double Dragon ones since they are so easy but, damn, they use a lot of black beads! Why don't stores carry more black? It is the hardest color to find!

Some Video Game Perler Beads

Its been hard to find some of the designs I've wanted to do. Instead of Perler Beads I've been searching for patterns for games made from stitching instead of beads. I'm looking for some Altered Beast ones and found one I'll be starting soon.

Billy and Jimmy Lee versus Abobo.

Come On With The Perler Beads!

This weekend I finally got my black Perler Beads and got to working on some new stuff. I started off with three different version of Chun Li from Street Fighter before I got this one down. I made so many mistakes and ended up changing a color that was used to something lighter. This one came out so huge! I'm working on a Sagat one that will probably take another four hours.
