Satoshi Matrix's Bead Sprites

[BadChad]

Id definetly be interested in a Link (maybe 2, one for my girlfriend lol). Let me know what your asking!

[satoshi_matrix]

wow, it sure has been a while since I last posted. Here's a small update with an order I recently finished.

A full arcade marquee sized Nintendo logo!

[tiktektak]

Nice looking but isn't there the "registered" missing?

[satoshi_matrix]

Yeah, I dropped that. I hope I don't get sued 

[Misanthroat]

Very nice work!
Just heard you get plugged on Retro Gaming Roundup this month...

[satoshi_matrix]

Yeah too bad they badly butchered my username 

Anyway, here's some new commissions I've done lately.

Kain and Paladin Cecil



Retro Nintendo set. The person who ordered this wanted four sprites that represented the NES era, though I cheated and used 16-bit Link. It wasn't until after I took this photo that I noticed I needed to refuse the beads along his leg there.

Well I figured I should update this thread to show you guys some more recent stuff I've been doing.  These are all commissions I've got for the holidays this year.

If you're interested in an order, just pm me. I can do anything you see or take custom orders.


Protoman custom

Well, it wouldn't be me if I didn't do a Megaman sprite right? This is a 100% custom sprite based loosely on the Megaman Powered Up chibi style.



Yoshi & Baby Mario

Sure, it's been done to death, but a classic sprite from an excellent retro game that really stands the test of time.


Shantae!

My favorite videogame heroine returns in a enhanced custom sprite I've created based on the sexy half-genie's more recent DSi game. I've got plans for more Shantae sprites in the future as it really is one of the great underrated classics of our time.


[fat] Majin Buu

fat Majin Buu from Dragonball Z Buu's Fury for the GBA.



Family Guy's Stewie.


Usagi, Sailor Moon

A color enhanced sprite I've made from a Japan-only GameBoy game with cute mascots from the mid 90s. I'm not a Sailor Moon expert, but I based the colors off official art.

a few more commissions done!


Picard and Data coaster

and one I'm especially proud of, Akira sprite based on the original poster.

here's my newest commission project.

One mega-fan has called upon me to spur up everlasting love retro gamers have for all things Megaman while we all ask Capcom:


To that end, I've decided to return to the abandoned Megaman Legends series with a tribute to the ever-helpful sidekick mechanic, Roll Caskett!

I'm rather pleased with how she turned out.


hope you enjoy and happy 25th, Rockman! As always, if you are interested in placing an order, simply pm me. Prices start at just $5.

I'm a little surprised nobody has left any comments here!

[Dr.Agon]

sm, you continue to amaze me!, these look really cool!
although im not in the market for stuff like this, i do enjoy looking at them, so keep going dude!
up for doing stuff for fun?
recently i re-watched the first 3 series of "the I.T. crowd", which got me thinking, "wouldn't it be cool to see Moss, Roy and Jen in bead sprites?" they appear as 8-bit sprites in the title sequence, so it shouldn't be too hard.

can't remember if you've done any sonic sprites, i always thought NGPC sonic was a really cool little sprite...

[SasoriSoren]

Hey SM, do you put these in an oven and slightly melt them to get them to fuse or do you use an alternative method? I remember bead art from when I was little and we always used an oven and thought I would pick your brain on the subject.

Clothes iron.

[satoshi_matrix]

Careful attention to the amount of heat using a non-steam variable temperature iron with special wax paper. There's a technique doing it right and why my sprites end up looking a thousand times better than the typical result from amateurs. As I've always said, this isn't a hobby for just anyone. It does take both extreme dedication and skill.
