Satoshi Matrix's Bead Sprites
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.
JDavis:
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.
