Here is another one of my early perler projects and obviously, it is the one and only PIKACHU! This pattern isn't exactly a representation of a video game sprite, but any Pokémon fan will know that this is Pikachu. As you can see from the picture, Pikachu is only the height of a full 3DS stylus and is another basic design that won't take too long to make.
Making Pikachu:
-1 Regular 29x29 Pegboard
-Dimension Reach: 16 x 23
-Time: Approx. 10 minutes
Colours:
87---Black
4---Light Brown
18---Cheddar
134---Yellow
9---Red
2---White
Total: 254 Beads
This is my second post featuring a Pokémon perler creation, but hey, I have been a huge fan of it since grade 1 and it changed my entire life! So don't be surprised to see more Pokémon sprites here. I may even take on a huge project relating to my love for Pokémon! ;) Check out my video if you want:
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!
