Assorted Pokemon Bead Sprites

Assorted Pokemon Bead Sprites that I’ve made. Most of these I would consider ‘medium’ sized for sprites. Let’s see, we’ve got Charizard, Mewtwo (which took two tries to get right. See last post), Moltres, Ninetails, Pikachu, Slowpoke, Bulbasaur, and Magicarp.

I always love making pokemon sprites because they’re relatively easy and I get to work with more of a variety of colors. Not to mention just how freaking cute they are! There are too many sprites to choose from when it comes to each pokemon. Most of these I chose for particular reasons.

I’m tired of people doing a “cute pikachu” so I went with the classic derpier looking one. The magicarp pose I chose is hilarious in my opinion. He’s the ‘unassuming’ magicarp. That Slowpoke is chillin’ with a slowpoke plushy I picked up one year from Seattle Retro Gaming Expo. He lives next to my couch. Which Pokemon do you think I should make next? Leave comments below!

All aboard the fail boat!

#FAIL

Every fellow spriter knows that feel, I’m sure. You’ve just spent a couple of hours on a piece, you accidentally tap the board and BOOM. Done. Destroyed. It happens to everyone. If you’re new to bead spriting and it hasn’t yet, don’t worry, your time will come. Then you will join the legion of geek artists who know the crushing pain that is a sprite bump. Above are just a couple of examples of mistakes made while arting. The first is Mewtwo from Pokemon. I was able to salvage most of it and finish the rest (which I’ll show in my next post). The one below that is, or was supposed to be, Giratina. In the past it has also happened to a Bubble Bobble Bub and Felicia from Dark Stalkers. It’s not fun when it happens, but it does. Be patient and fix it!
