Beads + Metroid fanatic = ???
Mar. 2nd, 2005 05:19 pmWell, I figure I might as well show people here what happens when you combine a Metroid fanatic, boredom, and pony beads (note: for those who have never heard of it, Metroid is a sidescrolling Nintendo video game, with many a newer sequel).
All of the items I've created are mainly based off of my online comic strip, Planet Zebeth, which is based off of said Metroid game. Hence why you'll see the word "Zebeth" here and there.
Anyhoo... here's a kinda preview of one of my major items. I'll just add the others as links, because they tend to be big, and there's a whole helluva lot of 'em. Also, the links will open in seperate windows, so you don't have to keep clicking 'back'.
The Planet Zebeth placemat:
- approx. 6000 beads and 60 hours of work.
Bigger items
The Metroid door-curtain
- the full curtain - approx. 24000 beads, 60-70 hours of work
The Metroid door-curtain
- top Metroid close-up
The Metroid door-curtain
- bottom Metroids close-up
