More sprites

[bladespark]

Working on my eevee evolution set. I think I'll do glaceon next. I want to do vaporeon, but I managed to be an idiot and not order enough white, so doing the FlameDog used it all up. :P Can't do jolteon either, though I might possibly have enough purple for espeon, and I'm pretty sure I can manage umbreon.

But actually next I'm going to do a couple of teeny tiny sprites, to experiment a bit with ironing. I'd hate to ruin something big. So some more little Zelda items and maybe a couple of slimes.

I want to order more beads, but I really can't justify it right now, not without a few more commissions to pay for it anyhow.

Booyah. :D Thanks very much! (2/3 of the way to having enough for the order I want now...)

woohoo!

That's positively lurvely! Been following your posts without time to comment so I thought I would do so now. Your stuff's been great! Adore the Moondancer and Aidan sprites...

In fact I am now turned onto this hobby too! Bought myself some beads and boards yesterday and turned out my first one (Kain Highwind of course)! Too much fun. I wish I had more oranges/yellows etc. on hand to do an eevee variant myself. Just no good matches for some of the colors in the giant bin o' psychedelic beads I picked up. ;P Time to buy single packs...

I suggest buying from callahan13 on ebay, she's very nice and cheaper than most places. You can even get a little discount if you buy direct from her, see here: http://www.pixelgasm-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2633

Also, the place where I swiped the sprites for my Aidan has a rather interesting Kain sprite... http://cardgallery.tales-tra.com/Blue/card663.gif Although sadly they cropped off the end of his weapon there. Just in case you ever feel like doing a much larger and more challenging one than the original game sprite. :D

Cool, thank you very much for the eBay referral. Good to know of a reliable and cost-effective seller for them. :)

Heee that sprite IS cool, thanks! Yeah, the first one was dead easy for setup and beading, and my ironing looked pretty darn good, so I've already got my sights set on more challenging fare (the Fire Dragon from the Tower of Bab-il is my current desire). Need to get myself more boards though, first. Only have four and would like to double that. Otherwise I do like the simple ones on a single board for a quick project when I have too little time for something more. Might do some Zelda stuff for fun.

Meanwhile, Anne is also having fun helping me gradually sort 11,000 beads... *LOL*

Or wait, maybe the fire dragon is a lunar subterrain creature too. I know the D. Machine comes up in the Giant of Bab-il, and I thought the other similar dragons come up before that when you assist Edge to infiltrate the Tower... heh, been too long since I played it through obviously. ;)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

He he he. I can't recall where the fire dragon was, but it's not too hard to find sprite sets from the game.

Oh for sure, already got them. :D Just musing out loud... *G*
