It's White Mokona. Different from the black one. Grabbed a design from Etsy and tweaked it a bit. I have been reading Tsubasa Chronicle. A round gem is hard with square a grid.

I would have finised sooner, but life things came up. Was hard to get the right colors, and do and still not quite right. Back when Lucas Arts Games did a bit more than Star Wars... and existed. I worry trying Ps1 stuff.

Now my smallest project. Classic Digimon design. Agumon colored. I recently learned about, DigimonAdventure: Last Evolution Kizuna and was inspired to do this. I enjoyed it much better than Tri. Last Evolution felt like a part of the original series. He looks like a Duck...

This what I have been doing while waiting for while waiting for the streets of rage 4 DLC. Partly. My wife likes playing as him in 2. This was my biggest one yet. I also redid his upperbody. Skintone is tricky.

Sabin from Final Fantasy 6. It took longer due to tricky color choices. One compromise can ruin the overall look. I ordered 2 more batches of artkal beads over it. I made each order worthwhile. Past color choices, perlrt art this size is easy now. No Doom Train... yet.

Had to redo this one. Melted the front than the back a little. Still some warpping. Is it better? Who knows? Anyways, Mantis boss from #FinalFantasy Adventure with some color based on later games. Maybe I should have put light gray instead of black on the abdomen?

King Dedede from Kriby. His design is modified from the NES, but his color scheme is more modern. I thought I would have used more blue. I also upped my game. My tool to poke tape holes is a screwdriver instead of a utility staple. The holes are better, but a staple is sharper.

Rabite from Secret of Mana on the snes. I was going to try a unique color scheme, but I really only had the OG colors lying around. I also tried a different background for the shot. It is okay, but I may just stick with dining room lights on parchment paper.

Odin from Final Fantasy 3 with some recoloring. Due to technical reasons, some areas had the wrong color, but it all blended well enough. My largest piece yet. It did not turn out perfect. The major issue is the curve. Days later, I tried to melt the back to flaten it. He was only flat for 5min. For my next large project, I may heat both sides in the same sitting. Anything smaller than the 29x29 perler grid seems fine. I am not sure if size is the primary issue or my technique is poor and the larger size makes it obvious.

Bill from contra on the nes. Also my tablet and dinning room lights. I forgot to put the wax paper beneath him. Oh well. Funny enough, he is about the same size Billy from double dragon 2. The upper bodies are not the same though.

[simon-crafter]

Tried a new spot for a picture. Not as good. The secret of mana rabite for SNES looks much better in person. I was thinking of using different colors, but I didnxt have the right artkal or perlers.

Billy from doubledragon2 on the NES. The red shading looks a bit odd blown up like that. Looks kinda bloody. One bead on his shoulder did not close well. I "fixed" it. Not sure if it is better or not.

So here is #finalfantasy2 #Minwu. Had to check spelling. Fan translation was different back in the day. It was also incomplete when I first played it. Still, a male white mage and he is quite powerful when you get him in comparison to your party. Uncomparable spell list though.

[simon-crafter]

#Warmech chicken. Yeah. A big one that turned out well. I made sure to poke a whole for every bead this time. Took a break and looked it over a second time. I enjoy #finalfantasy, but I may give it a break.

#perler #artkal #craft

#kirby again but on a warp star. Technically, this is my first modified sprite. The OG star is brown... This one is yellow, glow-in-the-dark, and a metal copper color. It is an #artkal that gives off a sheen. I learned in the previous post I can write down here. I like it better. See my "art" first.

[simon-crafter]

It's #kirby... I have more to say on the crappy ones. Some of the parchment paper got and gave him a Hitler stache. I just scracthed it off and reapplied some heat.

[simon-crafter]

An #imp from #FinalFantasy. I did quite well on this one. Still missed a black #perler on the belt.
