Sad blog entry with no title (pictures about 330kb)

That's amazing work! I've seen bead art but it is usually just copies of pixel art. Never seen anything original before.

A comic made this way would be really awesome!

So.. what do they say?

@Quantumcat - heh, I'm not really a fan of these iron-to-melt-together things, but the only time I bought some it was so that I could copy them in Animal Crossing

......my condolences.....

@leon315 How is this not a constructive hobby? Creating something in your spare time is literally productive, dude.

Awesome artwork. I'm sorry so hear about your troubles, I wish you wonderful days ahead.

@kikongokiller he is probably jealous as he has nothing to do but sit at home browsing the net

I do the exact same thing and I'm not over here crushing people's dreams

Christ, you're the real puzzle mate. Being able to create what is essentially a form of art has plenty of physical and mental benefits just like any other form of creating art.

I am very sorry if my reply was inappropriate. I just didn't get what people said over and over again.

Fuck cancer.

@Bimmel Your question was not inappropriate. But it would really make no sense to answer it because you are missing the complete context. In general: It is about phrases and buzzwords.

@Quantumcat I have to confess: I'm not a very good artist and this work is based on game sprites. (Last time I did build some original pictures).

• The crow is a 1:1 copy of "The Spiteful Crow" (Earthbound) as well as my regular avatar is Paula from Earthbound.
• Death is based on his sprite from Castlevania III - Dracula's Curse (different colors, some more colors and some other modifications).
• The tombstone based on a sprite from a more modern Castlevania - but not a pixel perfect copy in any way (vastly simplified).

The only comment that I found inappropriate has been deleted. It was not me (although I just found out I can in fact delete comments on my own blog entries). The only thing I have deleted was my answer to the (now missing) comment.

Again: I would never delete critique - even if I think it is "invalid".

Well, I wanted to see you do more Perler bead work; I'm sorry it had to come out this way.

You did a really good job--maybe next time, Richter whipping Death in the butt?



BTW, the uploader, "Youtube'd it up" at 0:51, but that's the length of the skit.

is that the fucking crow from earthbound?

Edit: wait nvrmind you already confirmed

Thank you for the interest in my work and for your kind words.

Again, I am not a very good artist and mostly just copy (partially modified) sprites.

Most modern sprites simply have too many colors and can be really huge. On the other side: I can get beads in little more than 30 colors using two different brands (not counting some glittering types) and the picture plates are small.

I had a look at the sprites from Symphony of the Night. Richter Belmont is possible. Death: very hard. He is large (fits in a rectangle of 85*82 pixels) which means I would have to use 9 picture plates (29*29 each) connected together.

Alternatively: “Portrait of Ruin”. Death is even bigger (83*102 pixels – meaning 12 plates to connect). Too many violet colors (or gray shades) and the beads for this single picture cost about 10€.

You're very welcome, KS.

You know, you might be able to mix-n-match:

You could get really creative with cardboard, clay, paint--any material.

Speaking of materials, I believe you could make this into a side-gig, which would cover materials.

To add to that, I was on ebay and maybe this
I know, I know, but 13K at $11.00 is pretty good; I'm sure the are better deals when you get more.
