Parallax Scroll said:I gave it my first shot yesterday. I bought this set of beads. Having them pre-sorted is nice but I'll definitely need to get some more colors.
And here are my first creations.
The OP recommends pushpins for putting them on a wall, but wouldn't the pushpin show? Also, what's a reverse tweezer?
Oh, and can you re-use the ironing sheets?
Milabrega said:Hoping they add more hay bale colors in Farmville so my Farm can just be the MM2 Stage Select screen and so I can replace the green with light blue.
How about sticking a thumbtack through some paper, then glueing the paper on the back of the character? That way you could just stick it in the wall without anything being visible.Ikopi said:I don't have a good way to hang them on my wall yet without the pin being visible. Tips are always welcome.

For Mac users, Pixen is also great for this. It's the same program I use to draw sprites. You can quickly load an image into it, add gridlines, and blow it up to a size you can see.shaowebb said:Yes actually. Page 1 has listed all the tools you will need and describes how to make them. They come out so quality because in essence any sprite sheet can have a grid overlaid on it to turn it into a pixel for pixel map of how to build your own perler sprite.
There is also an online web page that will do this for you in case you do not know how to do this in photoshop.

=o! I didn't care before, but I want to make that last Sonic one. =O
I tend to use fusable clear beads or I make them with a background and fill the whole board.Parallax Scroll said:How do you deal with diagonals? Like the teeth on that Metroid above, if I hadn't put black beads around them they wouldn't have stuck together.

It's straight up dawg time.
Nice. I almost picked some of those up but I wasn't sure if they would hold.Tempy said:I use sticky gum-like adhesives for posters (specifically Pritt Poster Buddies) to attach Perler/Hama creations on walls/doors. Doesn't leave residue or a hole in your wall, and you can attach/reattach as needed.

Does anyone have recommendations of some particularly badass sprites?
I'd really like to make a few from Strider 2, I just can't find anything. I have the PSX game and I'm wondering if there's a program that will let me rip sprites off the disc or something. Any ideas?

What frames are you using for these? They look outstanding.
Whimsical Phil said:I was very glad to see that the official Perler website is now selling bags of 6000 beads (in black, white, and red) for only $6.99.
