Sup guys.

I posted this in another thread, but figured I'd make a separate thread to show off my work. I can answer any questions if you'd like to get into this. Enjoy!

*Brodie* · 01-20-2013, 08:55 PM

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.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 01-20-2013, 10:35 PM

Very cool! Nice job

Make it yourself, or just buy one!

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

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

Digital Ghost · 01-21-2013, 12:09 PM

Very cool!

愛 · 01-21-2013, 06:41 PM

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.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 01-21-2013, 11:10 PM

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

*Candy Kappa* · 01-22-2013, 01:49 AM

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.

*BubblyShell22* · 01-22-2013, 11:44 AM

Whoa. Those are awesome, Ai. Good job.

愛 · 01-22-2013, 04:01 PM

Thanks!

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

**GK Punk** · 01-22-2013, 04:23 PM

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!

愛 · 01-22-2013, 04:38 PM

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.

愛 · 01-22-2013, 07:42 PM

Got some new ones, bros.

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.
