Magnets

It seems like I've been doing fewer shirts recently, but this entry is still sprite related! These are magnets made with Perler beads.


Final Fantasy V


Super Mario Brothers 3

Perler beads are placed onto pegboards and then heat-set using an iron. The beads come in many different colors, so I was able to use SNES sprites for these magnets (the Mario 3 magnets are from the SNES remake, for instance)


They're quite fun for making a scene on your fridge...

Final Fantasy

49 x 50 grid, 1/2 cm pixels. Blue dragon enemy sprite from Final Fantasy 1.

This shirt has an interesting history, mostly because it took me so long to complete. I actually started it not too soon after I had completed the Earthbound shirt, hoping to have it done in time for a birthday. Needless to say I didn't exactly make the deadline. I only got through about half the black outlines before becoming very frustrated with the shirt, so I set it aside. However, every time I started a new project here was this half-finished shirt, sitting there accusingly. So I finally swallowed my pride and finished it. Now my friend will finally get that birthday present...

I again made use of some metallic fabric paint that I had picked up. I don't think I'd ever use more than one metallic color per shirt - any more than that and it would get a little too gaudy.
