well, they are done REF.

Okay do you have a price quote and/or BTC address to send to? You can PM if you prefer. Thanks!

oh yeah these are very easy to do. hangs are simple as well i'll put in holes so you can make a string around it for a necklace or whatnot.

If you can give me a quote on these I'd be interested: (one of each)




They'd be used as a wedding gift, I'll have to figure out some way to make hangers for them.

Just received my pixel art!



They look great.  Only took 6 days from me giving the go ahead to receiving it in the mail.  Quick turnaround! 

Definitely will go to gateship for all my pixel art needs 

Subbed, might be interested with one for a dear friend. 
Awesome art pieces!

already do so. for the box i had to use for the Mortal combat guys i put 4 pieces of cardboard, packing paper and those big bubbly thingies.

Your good, i have to say. but for my convince at least, i don't think i'd end up doing any orders that can't be found 8-bit style.

I have a 8-bitcoin right here -

Maybe we can work together and if someone wants something that isnt a game sprite I can sprite it for you... then you can make it with the beads!


heres something I made for reference-

To prevent cracking during shipping, you will probably want to put stiff cardboard on both sides, and tape it together before putting it in the envelope.

32 wide and 72 pixels think ended up being about 5x11 inches (rough estimate)

the shipping thing is pretty much down, i just bought some bigger envelopes.

I definitely want the bulbasuar but I want to wait until an on nom is done too. Didnt find anything after a quick look only this sprite sheet. http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4706/img1026.png

Those fighters look great how big are they?

this is really well done, might get something for my nephews later when you get your price structure and shipping all figured out. They love super mario stuff.

honestly not sure how but lets see if this works

Awesome!  PM sent.  Want to post a picture of them in this thread?

Chriskoss they are done.

lol

i have made a sprite myself that i will post on my tumblr, please look there and tell me if you approve.

Bulbasuar would probably end up being 8$ as said before, but that is not including shipping and handling.

um, i also think i should inform everyone that trying to make one of these things is immensely harder if its not already pixelated, i can find picture via google very easily but if you would like something thats not i can't guarantee it can be done.

How much for that bulbasuar?

When you get more green how about this on mon?


This bitcoin would look best (i dont want it)

yeah i can do that ill just reverse one of them when i make it. and the second one works i was just worried that his hand would be hard to see.

@CryptoCoinMedia
you mean the the BitCion B right? i could try...

Those are even better!  Could you do the second liu kang standing sprite?  the first one looks oddly squished to me.  

Post or PM your bitcoin address and I'll send $30 worth.  Once they are done and you figure out shipping costs, I'll send a bit more to cover them.

Thanks! I'm excited to see them.

Also, is there a "front" to them?  If so, if you could make them so they are facing each other, that would be perfect.

You should make one from the bitcoin logo.

I would hang that on my wall

i'd use radians first standing sprite 32x72

http://spritedatabase.net/file/14431
and liu kang's first standing sprite 32X67

i figure they would be 15$ each.

What kind of file should I look for?  What's your price for 1/both?

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, Intro
i am gateship the author of the Tumblr page that spike has posted. i would like to thank him for taking my post on the other forum website and using them here. i was surprised that it took like a whole day to spend 4 hours on this site (literally). first of all i want to thank you all for supporting me in my hobby of pearler bead sprites. I haven't really done much with the whole "shipping and sending" business, and I'm not sure how often i would use bitcoins, (if ever?) i just confuses my simple 15 year old mind.

About
i do sell my work but so far it has just been to people in my school who normally contact me through FaceBook or person, i normally charge 20$ just because its simpler to do and most of the requested ones use about 3,000 beads and are relatively large. i don't know how serious i will be on commissions to people i have to ship to because of the fact that A) i can't drive myself to the post office yet. B) i'm still only a freshmen in high school. (summer is on its way though.) oh, I am also easily sidetracked by things, i don't know how much of a threat games will be anymore I've cut down a bit, although i do have an untouched version of rune factory to play.

To Business
alright i have noticed and accounted for the flat rate shipping boxes, but I'm not sure if they will be more or less expensive yet. occasionally on tumblr i might make a post saying something like "bored taking suggestions" this is just so i can keep myself entertained with my hobby, and for you to see something from a game come to the real world (wow, that sounded really cheesy) i try to keep my cost's around the multiples of 5. I want to get a bank account soon, I'm not to sure about how the whole money transfer would work.

Additional Notes
you know, at first i wasn't interested in selling my art but once someone asked me for my first commission, I realized that i could self supply this and maybe make a little extra money in between. I still end up spending 20$ at the store for beads because the tubs are only worth buying if your starting out, otherwise the individual packets are better. No, i am not trying to monopolize my product, i'd be happy if i inspire others to take up beading as a pastime. i also realize that some headers out there don't make as high quality things as fast as i do but, I'm only 15 and don't really have that much else to do so i can spend a lot of time just string in my work space, well working.

Other
my work space AT MOST EVEN WITH MY BENT BOARDS is 120X90 beads/pixels so please, take that into consideration if you do request something. i have 2 bent boards at least, and each is 30x30, so that about an unstable 60x60 working space, and thats not fun to put up with. I also have to put up with the supply of my stores as well (hence not being able to make link, or my Pokèmon trees) and i was planning on ordering more of the green tonight but my dad retreated to his room beforehand so, i'll have to do that tomorrow.

So i guess i can summarize this in a thank you, i'll keep at it but just, don't expect immediate results.

Edit: @ChrisKoss, if you want that one exactly he would be they would be 61X76, also it is a .Jpg file which are annoying to do, i also prefer to do a full body sprite of the character.

I was about send you a pm. ill wait for him to post here before i start sending him messages.

thanks for mediating(is that the right word?) so far sgtspike

Right, he's working on verifying his account here (newbie jail), then will be able to answer more questions and potentially take orders.

If he'll do other suggestions (stuff from Minecraft) I would be interested.

I'd be willing to purchase some of these.

I won't be so specific, but I'd definitely be interested in purchasing some of these. 

I could be interested in Raiden and/or Liu Kang:



What size would these come out to/how much would it cost?

He said around $8 for the bulbasaur, though I'm not sure if that includes shipping costs or not.

Could you get a price on that bulbasaur if he is selling it? Hard to tell but it looks like its 1/4th of the size of the rayquaza.

He said items the size of the picture in the OP would be $20-$40, and it's 16" x 18", roughly.

He is really talented at this. They look amazing, I can't wait to see that Link finished.

Might even want to put two plastic pieces between the two cardboard pieces so it can't be bent either.  Definitely fragile things to deal with...

I have no idea for the price. Im trying to think of a way to have it shipped. They can sometimes be fragile I guess he would need to find a skinny box or take 2 pieces of card board and tap them flat around the design.

Yes that dragon is rayquaza.

edit: That bulbasaur looks great, if he wants to get rid of it. If he could make an on nom from cut the rope(not sure what pose yet) that would be cool. Too bad he is out of green perler beads :<

Just doing some quick looking, the boards are 5.5", so the green thing in the picture (is that a rayquaza?) is probably about 15" tall.

I would probably be interested. That rayquaza looks nice o.o What are the dimensions on that thing?

Well, I have no idea.  It sounds like he's selling them for close to break-even, as he said he has used all of the money that he's received from selling them locally to buy more supplies.

For something the size of the creation below, what would you be willing to pay for it?  I'll pass that along, and see if it would be viable for him.

I remember perler beads from my childhood. Those pieces look great. I could possible see myself buying 1 or 2. How much do they cost?

Just curious if anyone is interested in buying this sort of artwork for Bitcoins...  Obviously, it doesn't have to be pokemon, it could be mario or whatever you wanted.  I am not the one who would be selling.  He's a young guy, said he didn't want to sell online because he didn't have a bank account and couldn't accept paypal.  I told him to sell for Bitcoins.  They're made out of those bead things that you heat to melt together.

So, interested?  How much would it be worth to you?
