Hi guys! My name is Lucas, I'm 27 years old and I'm new to the forum. Although I've been reading it and checking out lots of wonderful projects. I already wanted to do some video game inspired works, but when I found the site and the forum, I really got inspired and started making some projects.

This is the first tile mosaic I've ever done. I made two more after (but they're not game inspired, they're more artistic, to suit a room of my house), but I'm going to make a second game inspired table soon, and it's going to be bigger and better. I'm also making my first cross-stitch ever, I'm still not as good as everyone here, but I'll be sure to post it when I finish it. :)

Anyway, I hope you like it.

This is the coffee table.

Hey there! Thank you very much, I'm really glad you guys liked it!

To make it, I used this type of tile:

Plus, some glue and grout powder. It works kinda like cement, so it gives this brick-like appearance when it's done.

To apply it, I used a medium sized brush to make the final touches and take off the excess of grout.

Oh, and about the table, I bought it and it had a clean wood aspect, with a light color. I used tarnish to make it more brownish. Overall, it took two days to have it done. The next table is a white coffee table that is bigger than this one (about double of the size of this one). It's also going to be inspired in a famous game franchise, so I'll sure post it here for you all to see.

Again, thanks! This forum is awesome, I can get lost easily here looking at so many cool projects and works! :good:

That is so very true! I've spent many hours just looking through the forums finding all kinds of neat projects while at work.

BTW - I LOVE the idea of doing tile art for your table! And it looks wonderful! Do you have to special order the table from anywhere specific, or did you just get a table and start working?

What are the materials and tools did you use in this table? It is really a nice coffee table. I would like to do it by myself also.
