Knight Rider (KITT) Perler Bead
I made this Perler bead KITT from Knight Rider based off of the design by Van Orton Design. I love the way their stuff looks. I know a lot of people have made stuff from them in bead form but it is the same things. Mario, Link, and Predator. I lean towards trying to make things either no one of very few have made. I made this just as wide as the board.

Howard The Duck Perler Bead
I did this Howard the Duck Perler bead the other day. I was looking at all the different versions of him and some were gonna be way too damn big and I was not trying to make them since I made this just to keep my hands busy. I do like the ay this came out. It was based off of a comic book cover.

Boba Fett Slave 1 Ship Perler Bead
Yesterday I made this Slave 1 ship of Boba Fett's. I was gonna do it in color but the colors are so faded and odd that it was better for me to go with black, white, and greys. I still like the way it came out and it ended up being two pieces I put together. I was off by one row of beads and ended up freestyling a lot of it.

Snarf (Thundercats) Perler Bead
Last night I made this huge Snarf from Thundercats based on the art of Ed Pirrie aka Kingoji on DeviantArt. I expected this to be big and it is (20x23) but I had to attach the most random parts that stuck out past my board. I like the way this came out.

Voltron Perler Bead
This wasn't as hard to make as I anticipated. This Voltron ended up being 23 inches tall and used the strangest mixture of colors. I took the classic toy and pixelated it.

Black Panther Perler Bead
I did this Bruce Timm style Black Panther last night. I was this close to ordering more blue beads because after Black Bolt I was close to out. I cancelled the order and made do with what I had to stop from ordering more stuff. I had wanted to make a Black Panther for a while and most of the drawings were just a black shape with a thin blue outline or mostly blacks and greys and I didn't want to do that. I found Timm's style and pixelated it and really dug how it came out. I did this in four pieces using my one lonely peg board. I keep saying I want to make something small and end up with another large piece. I can't even put stuff under the bed right now.

Black Bolt Perler Bead
The other day I made this Black Bolt from Inhumans in Perler form. I really like the way this came out. I took an image from the comics and pixelated it. I removed the wings because they looked like chaos in this small a Perler. I also changed the colors to the classic blue shades instead of greys. This ended up being 20 inches wide and 16 inches long. I expected it to be bigger but am glad it wasn't.

Luke Cage (Power Man) Perler Bead
While making other big ass designs I wanted to make a Luke Cage and a Black Bolt. I ended up picking Cage because I doubt I have enough black Perler beads for the other. I went through a bunch of different pictures from the comics trying to find one that wouldn't be ridiculously huge but ended up doing that anyway. This ended up being 30 inches tall. I went with the original design of the character because it is cooler than just some Black dude in a yellow shirt and jeans.
MC Skat Kat Perler Bead
I made this MC Skat Kat for a friend who is a huge Paula Abdul fan. First I checked if anyone else had made one and didn't see any. Then I checked if someone at least made a pixelated version. Nope. So I found a sketch of the character from his design stage in black and white and went from there. I like the way this came out.

Johnny 5 (Short Circuit) Perler Bead
I did this Johnny 5 from Short Circuit based off of Van Orton Designs. I had seen something of theirs before but thought someone had created it themselves (because folks like to never give credit). I checked out their website (click here for that) and their Instagram (click here for that) and their art is amazing! While I scrolled through I saw movie and TV characters that I had made or wanted to make over the years.

Flight Of The Navigator Perler Bead
Last night I made this Trimaxiom aka Max ship from Flight Of The Navigator. I have wanted to make something with this ship for a while but never had the right colors. I could have used more shades of greys but I like how it came out.
Ras G Small Perler Bead
I did this small Ras G Perler bead for my best friend. She challenged me to try after the Stevie Wonder and I did it. I was afraid it wouldn't look right but thankfully it came out pretty cool.

Sting (Crow) Perler Bead
I made this today. Yes. I have been making a lot of things today. I made this Crow version of Sting and love how it came out. After I pixelated the image I was not sure how it would turn out. The shades of greys and browns seemed questionable until I finally finished and looked at it from a couple of feet away and not inches from my face. This for sure will be on a canvas. Seriously, I am happy he just showed up in AEW this week and freaked out like a child when I saw him.
Stevie Wonder Perler Bead
I made this Stevie Wonder Perler design almost on a dare. Someone just mentioned making him and I said I wouldn't because I wouldn't know what to do with it. Fast forward and I am looking up photos of him I can pixelate. Which I did. I have these small canvas from a paint set I got a while ago and used it and made it so it was close to the same size. I really like the way it came out. Used black, white, three shades of grey, and clear beads.
