Sephiroth Pixel Hobby Art

[Toiya55]

Hey guys! This is something I started awhile ago and haven't touched in awhile, so I decided I would post it and hopefully get re-inspired to start it up again. It is along the same lines (kinda) as cross stitch, but it uses individually colored plastic pixels that you put on a clear board with little points on it. It is very awesome to try if you enjoy stitching in my opinion. The website is http://pixelhobby-usa.com/.

Don't mind the lines between the plates. They didn't want to cooperate with the carpet and stay tight together.

The pixels, you pull them off individually

This is kinda the pic I went off of (I don't claim rights to it etc) but this is the full version of it. I'm only doing the face, but I can't find the same picture anymore that I used for this project since my computer died on me and I had to system restore it. (If anyone happens to have it I would appreciate it if you could post it! )

Oh nice! This is something I havent seen before and I really really want to try it! looks -amazing-!

PS good luck on getting the pattern again!

[Toiya55]

Thanks =) I have the pattern for it, but the actual picture would be nice to see while I am working on it. I searched photobucket and deviantart but no luck. =\

Oh also I have another one of these done that is only 6 plates (this one is 24) that I will post on here when I get a chance.

I love how those pixels look. I really want to try it now. I think they sell the materials at a shop in my town, so I'm going to try real soon.

You chose a great picture to do, it will look so amazing when it's done. I hope you will start again and post more pictures.

That looks amazing, I actually want to have a go at this (not this picture though!) so I'm hoping somewhere in the UK stocks these...

Good job and can't wait to see more of it

OMG that looks awesome. I would love to see you finish that. It looks similar to perler beading. My husband would kill me if I started a new craft. I'm in to too many as it is and he complains that it clutters up our house. LOL

[LiquidKarma]

OMG that is amazing. I came across those a little while ago and was wondering what they would look like. Very tempted now...

[Toiya55]

Here's the first project I did with this. I loved the pic (before I realized it was Sephiroth! Honest! I'm not that obsessed...~cough~) so I did a 2x3 project of it. It measures 10x12 inches.

I am officially reinspired for my big one again! I've been working on it today and I'm flying through the plate I'm on. I will post a WIP after every couple plates are done if you guys want. I'm glad so many people are interested in this now! Would love to see more of this from other people too.

Wow, this is just amazing. It's going to look fantastic when it's finished!!! Please do post the WIP pics, I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished!! Hope you do find the original picture

[Toiya55]

I know this is kind of a sucky WIP pic since I only have gotten one finished since my first post but I keep getting distracted by the million other projects and crafts I have. So here is one more plate done and a pic of my drawer I store all of my pixels in (each one you see is one of those squares filled with pixels from my first post). I just thought it would be nifty to post too. ^_^ Now I can't decide if I should keep working horizontally or give in to temptation and finish his face next!

Used a different camera and it came out a bit darker this time.
