Ram Man Perler Bead (canvas added)
I made a Ram Man! I have wanted to make this dude for the longest time. I looked up different drawings of him but didn't want to do that. I almost went with a coloring book version. Eventually I went with the actual toy and just pixelated it. I changed the colors because it was orange and like some reddish color and made it like the toy I owned as a child and it might be in my kitchen buried somewhere. This is about 17 inches tall and 12 inches wide. It made me smile seeing this on my floor.

Ivan Drago Perler Bead
I never planned to make all these characters but I have now completed the set. Done. Not making anything else Rocky related. I am finished! Did this Ivan Drago last night and it was completed in five sections. The finished version is 35 inches tall and dwarfs all the rest of them. I really should learn to measure my designs before I start making them. I am usually more concerned with the colors and width than anything else so when I started this and his head and neck took up the peg board I was like "Oh, no." ended up having to order more sand colored beads to finish this.

Rocky Balboa Perler Bead
I never meant to start making a whole set of the cats of Rocky but here we are. I made this Rocky Balboa last night and changed some colors around because that belt he is wearing is pure chaos. I am happy that this turned out to be the same size as the Apollo Creed. The Clubber Lang on the other hand is now dwarfed. Not sure how I feel about that. I might eventually do it again but bigger. But likely not because I have done that before with designs and it is torture for my brain. I am currently working on another design that is big and stupid.

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.

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.
