Walking Ash & Pikachu Perler Bead Sprites


     This is a set of 2 perler sprites featuring Red or Ash and his companion, Pikachu!!! I saw a bunch of 8-bit designs of Pikachu following Ash and if you have played any of the Pokémon games, you have probably seen the concept of Pokémon following their trainers in Pokémon Yellow, Diamond & Pearl, Platinum and HeartGold & SoulSilver. These sprites look even cuter when they are actually displayed on a flat surface and appear to be walking!

Making Ash & Pikachu:

-1 Regular 29x29 Pegboard
-Dimension Reach: 13 x 15, 14 x 15
-Time: Approx. 15 minutes (FOR BOTH)

Making Ash:

Colours:
76---Black
29---Red
2---Light Blue
37---White

Total: 144 Beads





   

Making Pikachu:

Colours:
69---Black
10---Brown
1---Red
77---Yellow

Total: 157 Beads



Grand Total: 301 Beads


     Since there are two sprites, I suggest starting Ash at the very edge of the pegboard, so that there is enough space for the very large Pikachu that is following. I would start with the outline of Ash with the black beads and then see how much space is left for Pikachu. Since you will have to fuse this, I would recommend doing the characters separately one by one, so that ironing won't be too difficult with two separate sprites needing equal distribution of heat. I only did them both on one pegboard so that you could see the two sprites together. Watch Ash & Pikachu come to life and enjoy!
