Perler Projects Again


I'm really excited today; I just finished placing a very large order for more Perler beads. So between that and since lots of people really liked the Lagiacrus from last time, I will show off a few things I've made since then.



This is a small fun piece I made after finding the sprites online. Our house has recently started watching the first season in order and this celebrates that. Mulder is very hard to take serious as a chibi.




Next up is Alice. This piece was requested by my fiance. She has always been a big fan of Cheshire Cat, but I am/was having trouble finding a good sprite that isn't the Disney version. This is the consolation prize. I considered putting some magnets on the back so that it could keep an eye on students from the metal filing cabinet.







This pink haired alien came to earth with her Rickenbacker bass guitar model 4001 and Vespa to rock Naoto's world. Not quite the heroine of the anime FLCL she's pretty integral to the plot and is a catalyst for many of the characters' changes. This was a larger piece that took 3x2 plates. So about 4.3k beads.


Minion wake up and PROTECT ME! Claptrap here was a quick and fun piece. Obviously he's not very big at all, but the only part that matters is how color customizable he is. You could easily swap out the yellow/orange and throw on any number of palettes from the game. 


My most current and second largest piece is Adam Jensen from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. He's a triple threat, his game is fantastic, his character is well developed and his style is impeccable. Requiring over 5k beads and having only a few colors utilized this piece was a zen meditation of sorts. Recently my father passed away and this is a piece that I threw myself into so that I could just focus on something else when I needed to. 2 shades in the hair, 3 skin tones, 3 yellows, black, 2 greys. A small palette does not mean bad details.
