Update to Mel Paradise Etsy Shop

A QUICK UPDATE –

I FINALLY Did it, you guys! I finally got all of the sprites I wanted listed to my Etsy shop. Please, even if you don’t buy anything, take the time to check it out. I just spent the last 2 days sitting at my computer posting 105 listings of items that I created with my own two hands. Please do my a favor and also share with friends as every little bit helps. Thanks!

Assorted anime bead sprites

Card Captor Kero Bead Sprite hatsune miku vocaloid bead sprite mamegoma_bead sprites puppycat_beadsprite

I don’t often do anime sprites, but when I do, they’re totally adorable.
Kero from Cardcaptor Sakura, Hatsune Miku, Mamegoma (cute characters by San-x, creators of Rilakkuma), and puppycat. I’ know puppycat is technically a web cartoon, but whatever, I wasn’t going to give such a small piece its own page.

All of my art is for sale. If you have any requests or would like to order a custom piece, please be sure to email me at mtogg@live.com

Master Higgins!

adventure island bead sprite

The weather is getting warmer and I’m excited. I thought it fitting to do a Master Higgins sprite from Adventure Island. I just want to run around a tropical paradise and stuff my face with delicious foods and ride around on Dinosaurs. Who doesn’t want that? Just gotta watch out for that pesky eggplant. He’s kind of a dick.

Project: Fishy Business

Project: Fishy Business

So before my last show I decided to challenge myself and make characters/sprites with whatever colors of beads I had left as I wasn’t to order more until after I got back. My decided theme – Fish from various games and other digital media.

There were moments between the generic spritings in which I would make a fish…Or sea creature of some sort. For those who don’t know, I love everything ocean animal related. When I was a kid I was even considering getting into marine biology. Never did happen, but my love of the sea has never faded, and it even shows in my sprite work, and also my upcoming comic series Tako Niji, about a town of cute octopus!

I decided to keep the fish sprites that I didn’t sell, and decorate my bathroom with them, including my Left Shark Sprite which I will place on the back of my toilet so that whenever a male friend uses my restroom, they’ll be greeted with a conspicuous crotch oggle from a man in a shark costume. I love it.
