Satoshi Matrix Bead Sprites

[vlame]

What does a pack of these cost? Seems like a fun hobby.

[Satoshi_Matrix]

depends how you measure it. This can be a very tedious hobby so only consider it if you have extreme patience and don't give up easily. As for the beads themselves, you can usually find them in buckets for around $15-25 depending on volume, and then you need to sort them. The material cost aside, the real investment is in time as it'll take you a number of hours to make even a fairly simple sprite, especially the bigger you get. Some of my projects have taken a few months to finish.

You also need an editing program, a very well lit work area, a storage means for the beads, pegboards, tweesers, ironing paper, a high quality iron and the ability to see sprites in your mind

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.

[Satoshi_Matrix]

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!
