Unity 1 8-Bit Variant Perler Bead Cover Recreation

Post by TravAzz »

I did this in the past 2 weeks. It's just under 30,000 beads and took 32 hours to complete.

I'm still going to iron and frame it. I also still have to add the QR code at the bottom.

When it's all done, it will be on display at my LCS, Super-Fly Comics and Games, to help with the launch of Unity 1.

Here is a close up of the piece so you guys can see what it looks like up close.

Thank you. Lots of life changes with family and work have been keeping me away.

It's 24" wide and 34" tall, so it's poster size. It's kind of hard to get a size proportion in the pics.

Is that what a close up is for? :kidaround:

Seriously, cool stuff. I hope that earns you a gold. (Hell, for that amount of time invested, you deserve *something*)
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.
