I want Megaman.

THe End.

How do you do the larger ones like the Link to the Past Link and Super Metroid Samus? My pin board is way too small to fit all that at once.

Make it yourself, or just buy one!

You have to use multiple pin boards. The one I bought came with 4, and they interlock.

Very cool! Nice job

Thanks! :)

That's some seriously good stuff, man. I had no idea you had these skillz.

Thanks, bros. I made some more smaller ones. Hope you like the dust on my desk. Air Man also makes an appearance in the second picture, Brodie.

Lol little dust never hurt anything. Can I ask, how long do these take to make?

so cool, love that NES Link and Samus

It really depends on the size and how many colors are involved. If the colors alternate a lot, then it takes me longer to ensure I'm on the right row/column and they make sense.

So to ballpark it, I'd say about 30-45 minutes. The Samus took me an hour and a half.

Here's a Bulbasaur I made yesterday for my fiancee.

Whoa. Those are awesome, Ai. Good job.

Thanks!

Here's a Growlithe I made for a co-worker.

A friend of mine makes these and sells them at cons. She made me a Ocarina of Time style Fairy to carry around while I cosplayed Link. I really want to get a Shinya Arino one custom made haha.

I like the ones you've made, Ai!

Arino would be pretty awesome, but someone would have to make a sprite out of him before any perler work can be done. I'm by no means an artist. lol

And thanks! They're a lot of fun to make, and while I could sell them, I like keeping them for admiration. :)

Spoiler:

If I saw one of those, it would take every fiber of my being to resist the temptation to throw one of those against the ground just to see if I'd get a magic door.

I actually traded my Zero figure for Air Man with a friend. I love me some Air Man. :)

wow that Link looks amazing!

Loving all the Zelda stuff especially. Very nice!

Dude, I make these too! XD Perhaps I'll post some soon.

I actually ran out of black perlers so that's why you're not seeing the most detailed stuff. My next one is going to be a Kefka perler once my order of 3,000 black perlers comes in.

Yeah. the black beads are the most important (for outlining).

Awesome work, dude. What do you do with most of 'em? Hang 'em up or something?

I've been hanging them up at my desk at work. I've also made a few for friends. :)

Made two more and I'm calling it a day!

Just wanted to give an update. I have been decorating my cubicle with these and this is what it looks like. :)

Ooooh that's a dope set up, everything looks real snazzy. :)

Cool cubicle! Makes work more fun

These are pretty cool. Thinking about doing some myself.. How hard are these to make?

They're insanely easy to make. Most take about 20 minutes to half an hour to make.

I must add that the ironing aspect takes a bit of practice to perfect, especially larger projects. Just keep that in mind.

I love that wily one, good work!
