Chibishous are a project I’ve been working on for a while now. These particular sprites do not appear in any game– they were custom-designed by Geek Mythology Crafts and are only available from us at conventions, at our website, www.geekmythologycrafts.com and at our Etsy Store.
Aside from that, we will be debuting these bead sprites at AnimeNext in a few weeks! We hope everyone will enjoy them as much as we do. 
Currently we aren’t taking commissions due to conventions coming up, but after the hustle slows we can make custom Chibishous of your original characters, and can take requests for characters that you don’t see on our site!

Super Mario Bros. Piranha Plant Bead Sprite for Sale on Etsy
For sale at our Etsy Shop is a Piranha Plant Bead Sprite from Super Mario Bros. 3, complete with green “pipe”. This hungry guy is made from Perler beads and a painted terracotta pot. These will be available at our future convention art tables as well as through Etsy. They will be $15 at conventions, and you can save a buck by purchasing one online for $14. Check them out here!
Don’t have a green thumb? Not to worry! Take home one of these semi-harmless potted Piranha plants from Super Mario Bros! They are constructed with Perler Beads and have the same hungry-looking design on both sides. They come in their very own green “pipe” made from a terra cotta pot coated in acrylic paint. They are embedded in brown shredded paper and are removable from their pot, so you can “plant” them elsewhere if you like. When you want to put the Piranha back in its pot, simply remove the shredded paper, stick ‘im back in, and work the paper around the stick at the bottom of the sprite. Pack him in tightly and he’s ready to stand on his own roots again! These bead Piranhas don’t require any maintenance or water! Best of all- they don’t bite!

Zounds! An update! Well, sort of.
We made these Street Fighter bead sprites several months ago for 2009′s Gamecore Convention. Sadly only Ken sold. That priviledged jerk! *ahem* Well, in any event, we forgot to photograph him… Oops. But here for your viewing delite, we have Bison, Guile, Akuma, Chun-Li, Zangief, Dan, Ryu, and Sakura.
These sprites are from the Neo-Geo Pocket game SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millenium. The sprites in this game are monochromatic, so JJ and I recolored them to fit each character’s color scheme.
We will have these availabe at this year’s Castle Point Anime Convention, along with some characters from SNK & Darkstalkers. Stay tuned to see how they turned out!

One of my favorite things about Dragonball Z- young Trunks and Goten. So when I saw this sprite of them fighting to the death (OK, not exactly), I knew that this image would become my bead spriting magnum opus. Unfortunately, at the time I hadn’t enough physical space to work on such a large sprite, nor did I have enough pegboards to lay it down on.
But now I finally do! So here is a work-in-progress shot of this project. Trunks is ALMOST finished. It’s taken a lot of color customizing to be able to work with this, since I couldn’t find a suitable color by Perler to make Trunks’ gi. And I’ll be darned if I could find the right purple combination for his hair. But being “crafty” with this, I think it will turn out great.

Yoshis, Yoshis, Everywhere
I’ve wrangled a herd of colorful bead sprite Yoshis from Super Mario World 2 – Yoshi’s Island. Definitely my favorite game starring Yoshi! Although the sprites from the SNES game feature the Yoshis all having the same color red/brownish boots, I took the colors from the N64 Yoshi’s Story game to make these particular bead sprites. I did a little research and found that, in illustrations and in the GBA remake of the game, a couple of the Yoshis wear different color shoes from the Yoshi’s Story game, particularly the light blue and pink Yoshis. I thought this “idle” pose was pretty cute, and for these I’ve left out poor baby Mario. No more CRYING!
Ahem, anyway, I am selling these cuties at our Etsy store!
