Bead 'Em Up Sprites

Bead 'Em Up Sprites Welcome to "Bead 'Em Up"! Custom bead art based on various figures found throughout pop culture. 😁 Any totals greater than $100, and shipping is free*.

Hello one and all, and welcome to my page! 😁

Here is where I showcase my bead works of the past and present, as well as the occasional glimpse into future projects. I've been working with fuse beads since 2014, so I've had a fair bit of time to hone my craft and I absolutely love what I do. 😊 The fuse beads themselves come from a variety of sources, including brands like Top Tier Beads, Perler, A

rtkal, and Hama, to bring out the best possible color palettes in any given piece. If you're a fan of fighting games, you're likely see many sprites of characters you're familiar with, as I am a huge fan of many fighting game franchises such as the Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, Last Blade, and the Marvel Vs. Capcom series (just to name a few) but I also make a variety of other things as well, such as movie posters, or even beaded portraits for you and/or your loved ones. If you'd like to order that something be made, simply message me on the page, and we can crunch the numbers and details out in private. As far as pricing, I like to keep things simple:

Total Pixel/Bead Count
x
$0.01(Mini Beads)/$0.02(Standard Beads)
~
to nearest whole dollar
+
Cost of any additions, such as canvas, sound chips, lanyards, etc. Half of the total value up front to begin the work (not refundable after %50 of the work has been completed), and the remaining half after the work is finished. This way, you won't feel cheated, and I won't feel as if I've wasted time and resources on a piece that isn't going to a new home. 😅

It's really that simple! 😎

* - Unfortunately, I can only ship within the U.S.A, as shipping costs tend to be as almost much or greater than that of the pieces I make. 😵‍💫 It's an annoying issue that I will be constantly looking for a resolution to, in hopes that I can extend my reach to other locations in the world, but for now, it has to be this way. Please bear with me in this. 😅

Hello, one and all!

It's been a good while since my last update, but I do have to say that things are finally starting to settle down. Since my last post, I've moved to a new place, started a new job, knocked out my annual training with the Army, made my annual contributions to the wonderful folks over at the Jazzy Circuit, and began what will surely be the largest project I'll probably EVER make.

What might that be, you ask? Well... It's a surprise! 😜 I'm being VERY "hush, hush" about this one because it'll take some time to complete, and I want people to be just as shocked when they see it as I will be whenever I'm finally finished with it. I'll definitely have to frame this one as well, so the presentation is gonna be INSANE! 😈

Now that I've got your attention, here are some pictures of the most recent commissioned work I've made for Jazzy Circuit's latest tournaments. I'll be posting more stuff soon because while I haven't been on here much, that doesn't mean I wasn't staying busy in the background making other stuff.

More to come soon! 😁

Final version! 😁 I applied makeup to her eyes and lips, touched up a few areas of the hair, and made a red, white, and blue background on the canvas since she's married to a service member. 😎

A recent commission I've been working on. All that's left is to touch up the hair in a few spots, add her makeup to the eyes and mouth areas, and apply the piece to a painted canvas. Then she'll be good to go! 😁

Final result coming soon! 😎

Presenting... Chun-Li vs. Elena! 😎

Meant to serve as a memorial piece for the client's dear friend and fallen brother-in-gaming, I put a ton of effort to get these colors as close as I could to the originals. It was an absolute honor to be a part of keeping his memory alive in some way, and may the family and friends of the deceased know healing and peace as we come into the new year.

Now presenting: Makoto Vs. Ibuki! 😎

I have to admit I about lost my damned mind with the amount of colors I had to deal with for this one, lol. 😅 Still, I think I somehow managed to bring it all together and make it work out in the end.

This piece is roughly 4', 5.4375" x 1', 8.375" in size, making it the widest piece I've ever made! 😁

What do you think?

I spent almost an entire day swapping around colors and gradients to get these results. In the end, while I just couldn't keep ALL of the colors, I *DID* get MOST of them. 😎

Now onto Round 2; Makoto! 😁

Color-swapped the hell out of this like 2-3 times already, and STILL don't have a palette I'm 100% satisfied with... And this is STILL only the first half of the entire piece. 🫤 At least she's coming along well enough I suppose. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thankfully, Makoto's half should be 100x easier. I've already got her colors ready to rock so that once Ibuki is complete, the rest should be a breeze! 😅

"I think we can be friends. You think so too, right?" - Elena

Presenting the fun-loving princess of Capoeira herself; Elena! 😊

As any beader can confirm, Street Fighter 3 sprites are notoriously difficult (if not downright impossible at times) to recreate in bead form while STILL maintaining the original color count. That being said, I did have to get a bit creative with this one. I hope you all enjoy the results! 😎

Also... effective immediately and lasting from now until the start of the new year (Jan 1st, 2025), I'm offering a 15% discount on ALL of my works! 😁

"Aegis Reflector!" - Urien

As with most Street Fighter III sprites, this one was a challenge to replicate PERFECTLY. Still, I'm quite satisfied with the final results. 😁
