IT'S COMISSION TIME! PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT! :D
Opening up bead sprite commissions! Please take a looksie!
Hey everyone! Those of you from the DP store that know me, probably already know that I'm going back to Japan in one month, I'm going to need to more money then what I currently have. So starting today, and since you guys can really appreciate my goodies, I've decided to open up commissions to the public. As some of you might know, I've been making beads sprites for a decent amount of time now, and I've gotten pretty good at it, and I like it a lot. They're made out of Perler/Hama beads, those little beads you probably played with as a kid, and then ironed together to fuse everything. These look awesome on your wall, fridge, game room, or anywhere! I'm gonna line the bottoms of my suitcases with them and take some to hang up in my Japanese apartment.
From now on, I'm going to start doing these regularly, even when I'm in Japan. I have a Flickr account for everything, and a website is currently in the works. Once I get home from Japan, I'm gonna start selling these at artist alleys at convention and all that good stuff ^^ Here are some examples of my work:

To see more images, and images in a bigger size, please visit my Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/osakasbeadsprites. I still have more photos to upload, and am constantly making new ones, so do check back.
I have beads in every single color that Perler makes (which is a lot), so there should be very few sprites that I won't be able to do.
So basically, if there's a sprite of it, I can make it, or I'll certainly try to. Things from some PS2-newer games may have too many colors/be too big, so just fyi. I can make them as is, with a border like I did for Dig Dug, or any way you want really. If enough people want them, I'll go get some things to turn them into keychains, phone charms, or magnets (like I did with the E Tank).
If you're having trouble thinking of sprites/characters, here are some helpful links:
http://www.spriters-resource.com/ (Awesome game sprite database, includes a lot of anime characters too)
http://tsgk.captainn.net/ (Another game sprite database, has some things the other doesn't)
Of course if you can't find what your looking for, a google image search never hurts ;D
Pricing: Pricing will vary depending on the size. The lowest an item goes is $2.50, and some original Legend of Zelda items I made went for $2.50. Some smaller ones like SMB1 Mario, Luigi and Goomba would be $5. Ones around the size of Terra would be $8. Ones around the size of Mega Man would be $10. And ones the size of something like Mega Man X would be $12. If you want something bigger then those it will obviously be more. Something the size of Super Metroid Samus (9" wide, 14" high) would be in the $30-$35 range. These are pretty standard prices for these, as I have done my research on this, and the prices have been well received by people and friends who have already purchased sprites from me.
Shipping: Unless you have something really big, shipping will only be $2.50 for one. If you have a bunch, it'll go up to $3-$5 or more depending on how many you have.
Payment: Paypal please! My Paypal email is osakapapa@gmail.com
Ordering: Please post questions in replies so that everyone can see, and if you'd like to place an order, please do so over PM, or my email at osakapapa@gmail.com. Please include a direct link to the sprite sheet your sprite is on, and identify which sprite on the sheet you want. For example, your sprite might be "3rd row down, second from the right, where he's jumping", or something like that.
Thanks guys for looking at this. I hope these can make you happy ^^ Because they are awesome. I hope to make you guys some epic sprites! :)
