I have been making perler bead sprites for a long time. Here are some of my favorites that I've done.

oh those are impressive

you iron them together right? we used to play with them and they were called Hama beads here in the UK.

there really cool bro, havent even heard of them before.

is it all old retro stuff or can you get stuff for newer games - in particular the metal gear solid series?

@sixties keith assuming they're what I think they are you can make anything you like. They're little beads and you arrange them on a pegged board and then melt them together with a clothes iron.

Yeah, hama beads is just another brand. I do iron them together, yes. Basically, I can turn any picture into a perler design. I have done people's photos, but they are people who are friends of mine. I would have to get their approval before I could post. Making MGS stuff would be easy. Anything in particular you would like to see made? I am a fan of the series also, so it wouldn't be out of place.

Cool B-)
I am picturing an xbox covered in a collection of these, totally covering it like a tea cosy.

Would take a couple thousand beads, and some serious thought on how to not prevent airflow... Can be done though. 3D isn't my strong suit with them though...

i had never heard of these before if im honest but looking at the pictures i think there awesome.

is there somewhere i can buy them (im based in uk) and are there guides to follow for certain designs?

i would love some stuff made up from the tekken series as well as the brilliant metal gear solid series. these would look awesome

http://www.hamabeads.com/mini_beads.htm. there is a link for ya Keith. There's a learning curve involved. Takes only practice to get good with them.
