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. 😅

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! 😁

11/26/2024

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! 😁

Might end up changing a bunch of colors around in the end, but...

Here Comes A New Challenger! 😅

11/17/2024

"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. 😁

Here Comes A New Challenger!

11/14/2024

Presenting the "Cacodemon"! 😁 Just one of many types of demonic creatures you'll encounter in the Doom franchise.

I feel it has to be said, but even though it came out rather nice, this one was a real pain in the ass to recreate, lol. The amount of colors was just insane! 😵‍💫 Features a glow-in-the-dark outline, and oddly enough also looks almost like an entirely different creature under UV light. 😎

Bead Count: 3,510
Price: $70 (Beaded piece only; painted canvas available upon request - at additional cost.)

Work in progress. 👁

A couple of days late, but better late than never, huh? 😆

Also...

Happy Birthday to me! 🥳 Yay, I'm old! 🤣👨🏻‍🦳

Introducing the "Baron of Hell" of the Doom franchise! 😎 This one utilizes glow-in-the-dark beads to connect stray beads while also giving it a nice little effect for the energy around his hands. 😁

"Hey sis, we work pretty well together... hey, are you listening?" - Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei

"I don't want to be alone anymore. Will you play with me from now on?" - Lilith

I challenged myself a bit on this one, finishing it in roughly 2.5 hours. 😎

"We should meet again tonight... in your dreams." - Morrigan

I decided to slightly modify her hair on this one, because I wasn't really fond of the fact that her hair in the original pose looked more like a blob. 😅 I've also changed the hair color, which I based mostly on her in-game artwork, like her victory screen and intro scenes.

"... What a boring little sideshow you are. Hardly worthy of my noble presence." - Demitri Maximoff 🦇

With Halloween approaching fast, I felt it was about time to show some love to the Darkstalkers series. I hope you'll enjoy all the work I'll be churning out in the days to come. 🎃

Here Comes A New Challenger! 🎃

Just in time for Halloween, I'll be going through as many of the Darkstalkers roster as I can! 😎 Here's hoping I can make them all before the holiday is here! 😁

And no, I haven't forgotten Abyss. But being so close to Halloween, how could I simply ignore making characters from such an iconic franchise?

10/10/2024

Here is a recap of my self-imposed Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 character roster challenge. I've finally made all 56 characters from the game, as well as a couple of extra characters from across the series, plus one custom addition. I haven't made Abyss just yet, but he's definitely next on the list! 😎

"Let me take you for a ride!"

10/09/2024

"You put up a good fight, but I had the superior tech, skills, and experience." - Ironman

It's finally done! 😁 Ironman was the last of the 56 characters in MvC2's roster that needed to be made, and now that he's been finished, I can finally tackle Abyss! 😎

This has been a hell of a ride indeed, and I'll be taking time today to compile all of the pictures I've got for each character I've made along the way, and making a reel dedicated to this project. I'm beyond hyped that I've been able to make it this far, and extremely thankful to all of you for joining me on this journey.

"Destiny awaits!" I had everything for Thanos assembled and ready to go some time ago, but I hadn't put the finishing touches on this one until just today. Here's the final results of all my efforts! 😁 Being my first attempt at wiring lights to my work, I have to say that this wasn't too bad at all. As with all things, I'll continue to refine my skills so that everything goes even smoother in the future! 🙂

Another update! And probably the last one before showing the finished product. 😁

Just gonna leave this here... 😎

Presenting... Poison! 😁 Another fine addition to my collection of completed pieces, which complements my latest work seamlessly! 😎 Bead Count: 3,111 Price: $62 The sounds were, of course, compiled by myself, and edited to combine a voice sample of herself, as well as Hugo along with their BGM in the final piece. 😁 #Capcom #StreetFighter #toptierbeads #pixel

It's done! 😁 That's 12,754 beads over 3 days! 😵‍💫

Bead 'Em Up Sprites is pleased to bring together various forms of mixed media to create awesome handmade pieces of artwork.

This isn't even it's final form! 🤣😎

Adding a little something special to my next piece. 😎
