Geek Mythology Blog Has Moved!

I packed up and moved everything to Wordpress. *sniff* Sorry Blogspot... http://geekmythologycrafts.wordpress.com

Tinkerbell Custom Mini Munny

Tinkerbell Custom Mini Munny, originally uploaded by aerith_reborn.

Well, here she is, Miss Tinkerbell. A Christmas gift for my boyfriend's mom, and my first completed mini-Munny

Her hair was sculpted with Super Sculpey and painted, along with her body, with Acrylics. There's a green ribbon in her hair and her wings were salvaged from a dragonfly plushie. Her facial features are detailed with black Prisma Color paint marker. I had to mount her to a base because, despite being filled with tin foil, her darn bun was too heavy for her body.

I'm proud of her but admittedly also not-so-proud, because as I had a deadline with her, I might have had to "hurry" a "little bit". (Don't tell mom.) But I did learn from the mistakes I made with the Super Sculpey and the paint, and everything else. So I will keep trying because it was very enjoyable to see a finished product.

Next up is Aero the Acrobat who I've been working on intermittently for the past few months.

Take a stand, Ness!

Simple but effective- I have made a little stand for my bead sprites. I've made quite a few now and they're all laying flat on their faces... I thought it would be cool to have them stand upright. I puzzled over it briefly and came up with a very rudimentary device, but hey, it works great! I was originally going to put it on a large, circular base but it stands up perfectly on just the small rectangular one, and does not visually take away from the sprite on display. I may adjust the dimensions of the stand slightly in the future, but I'm pretty happy with the result for a first shot. :)

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip & Dale

Chip & Dale, originally uploaded by aerith_reborn.

I love these cute little guys, and Chip n' Dale's Rescue Rangers was one of my all time favorite NES games. I modified the sprite colors slightly for these two since I did not have that crazy red color they used for their fur, and I used light brown instead. Also Dale's shirt is now red instead of the same color as his fur. Artistic license I say! *cough*

In the Beginning...

Sprites - Batch 1, originally uploaded by aerith_reborn.

There was a Perler Bead spriting newb. Her name was Geek-Mythology, sometimes Vilsy, always perplexed and befuddled.

Actually it's not so bad. I have found the joys of creating video game sprites from Perler fuse beads, and am having a jolly good time so far. I've been at it for about a week and I'm pretty hooked. It has been a nice break from my normal digital drawing.

Here are my first attempts at the craft. Gau from Final Fantasy VI looking as though he's found a fire hydrant was my first. Weird choice I suppose. The others are hopefully recognizable! More on the way as I spiral into bead oblivion.
