custom design made by me of the Anime Central logo! I went to that convention last year for the first time, and I'm going again this year!

next up, Mr. Jimbo Balatro! I was finally convinced to try out the game about a month ago, and I've been pretty addicted to it ever since.

who else but Bhåhaj? I'm not trans myself, but I'm a big ally, and I love the funny little IKEA shark!

and now, it's time... for the moment you've all been waiting for!

one! two! three...

Ready?

MIKU MIKU BEEEEEAAAD!!!

(ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ɢᴏɪɴɢ!)

and finally, the one I'm most proud of: the girl of all time, Bridget!

I know nothing about Guilty Gear or fighting games in general, but a few weeks ago, I simply became obsessed with Bridget out of nowhere, and I knew I wanted to make her in bead form. I'm even considering possibly trying out Strive since I hear it's one of the most beginner-friendly fighting games out there.

the melt came out perfect (I actually took the time to poke holes in the tape), and I think she looks amazing! the design is actually my edit of a pre-existing pixel art design I found online. unfortunately, I'm not good at creating pixel art from scratch, let alone emulating someone else's style, so I wasn't able to make a Roger to go with her.

STEEL THY SHOVEL! It's Shovel Knight!

Fitting with the arts and crafts theme... it's Yarn Kirby!

And then three of my Pokémon from past teams...

Lemonade, my shiny Azumarill from my second playthrough of Pokémon Y! She is the first Pokémon I ever shiny hunted for, and I love her so so much. I bred her using the Masuda Method, and she was (if I'm remembering correctly...) the 624th egg hatched! Ironically, I hate the taste of the drink lemonade in real life. I just love the color of shiny Azumarill and thought it was a fitting name! (I also named her mother Lemons, because when life gives you Lemons, make Lemonade 😁)

Next up...

Charles II, my Heracross from Pokémon Legends: Arceus! Heracross is my favorite Pokémon, and I knew I wanted him to be the first Pokémon I ever immortalized in bead form. I wish I could share the explanation for his name here, but it's a super convoluted inside joke that no one except me and a few people would get.

Finally...

Stella, my Cinderace from Pokémon Sword! Stella is genuinely one of my favorite Pokémon I've ever used in a Pokémon game, and I have such a strong connection with her. Right now, she is Level 94, and I plan on giving her the honor of being the first Pokémon I ever get to Level 100.

I made one of gaming's favorite trans girlies...

The logo of some heart-stealing thieves...

The cute alternate forms of the members of Kessoku Band...

And wait, BABA IS... BEAD?

A totally unremarkable QR code(just scan it, you can trust me), a Bullet Bill, and two little skulls! These I made when all I had were black and white beads. Then I made a very expensive investment into this hobby and made these!

Two sentient video game vegetables(Turnip Boy and Dadish), and COOKIE CAT!

I'm very excited to make more stuff with fuse beads and share it all with Tumblr!

(before, colors sorted by brand; and after, colors sorted into a gradient)
