New Pendelton Items: MF Doom, Pikmin, And A Request
DestructoidArtisans | 4:49 PM on 06.16.2009 9 comments


Hey, kids. I realiZe that, like, I haven't put shit up here (or at my Etsy store) in forever, so here's a look at what I've been working on:


Here's a Red Pikmin I just made this afternoon. Love the way it came out, and can't wait to make more (i.e., if you'd like one that isn't red, or leafy, request one at pendelton21@gmail.com).


This guy (and the next one) was made on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but I love the way it came out. Plus, the jumping motion is a lot better looking than just the static, driving Excitebiker.


...man, I just realized that all of these pictures are pretty bad. Ah well, screw it. I LOOOOOOOOVE me some Gradius, so it only makes sense that I bust out a Vic Viper sprite.


This might be one of my favorite pieces I've ever made. Not only is Doom one of the greatest supervillain MCs ever, his mask looks so awesome beaded! Unfortunately, I already sold this, but I'd be more than willing to make more if someone asked me...

Yeah. So you know the deal. Check out the store or hit me up e-mail way if you like what you see.

Also, like the great Faith before me, I'm kinda at a loss as to what I should make next. Anyone got any ideas for unusual sprites/characters from ANY GAME/MOVIE/TV SHOW you'd like to see? Then let me know in the comments, and I might just make your request next!

"Fans of the great gaming website will love this new, awesome, tuxedoed Mr. Destructoid! Keep this sexy beast in your house, and have all the ladies screaming "Also, cocks"!"
Ha ha! That is great!
Should make some of just the helmet! Bet that would sell, son.
And one of Ebisumaru!

Destructoid Artisans Profiles:

Pendelton21
"Long ago, in an ancient and divided land, a great sorcerer was called upon to bring joy and unity to the nation. He was Pendelton21, known throughout the land as the one true plastimancer, the true wielder of all things plastic. Known for his proficiency for tiny plastic beads, Pendelton21 was asked to create works of art that would cause enemies to unite as friends, kings to bow to one another, and people around the nation to become content. So, the great plastimancer got to work, creating ontold beauty out of the lava from Mt. Vargauna, "sacred perler beads" from the Michaels down the street, and a rather reliable video game sprite database. Those works of orgasmic pulchritude, lost to the sands of time, have now been recovered, and are available for sale at good sir Pendelton's Etsy store (with shipping included). So, come all ye seeking the true beauty of the old land, and obtain the true works of plastimancer Pendelton21 (or, just go buy them because Pendelton is poor as shit and needs cash)!"

Craineum (aka BabaGEEK)
"I have been a father for three years and a geek my whole life. My geekiness is being passed to my kids without any thought or effort from me. I have been creating items and activities for my kids since they were born. I started to think that maybe others might want some of these things for raising their own kids, thus was born BabaGEEK. BabaGEEK Creations will be bringing you items for you and your growing geek family. Whether its a t-shirt that express's your inner geek, or a baby mobile that will get your young 'uns heading in the right direction early, or custom costumes for your families favorite cosplay events, BabaGEEK has the goods you desire."

Rio McCarthy
"My name is Rio and I've been crafting for as long as I could hold a pencil, which coincidentally is about as long as I've been playing video games as well. I like to do almost any and all crafts, especially drawing, sewing and painting. I'm most well known for making character hats, but that's not all you'll find in my store, so be sure to check back for future surprises. I'm all about the cute, so you never know what you might find in store for you at Rio's Renditions!"

Welkstar
"Adam Welker is Welkstar's handsome, mild-mannered alter-ego. Best known 'round these parts for his work on the RetroforceGO! t-shirt and arcade cab, he is an art school monkey with aspirations of one day becoming a famous cartoonist/animator/designer/pimp. But for now, he'll just settle for being decent at playing video games. (He's kind of lazy like that...) Adam specializes in pixel-perfect-paintings, custom character commissions, super sweet shirts, and all things retro. Join him in the games-as-art (or was that "art-as-games"?) crusade! Visit his Etsy store, "Welkstar's Wares," he'll create a special work of art that will look perfect in your game room, living room, rec room, bathroom, or creepy-ass dungeon lair. BADICAL!"

Taticakes
"epicWorks Creations started out in a small kitchen with big ambition. Originally known as epic SugarWorks, it consisted of a couple of friends who liked to bake cakes for friend’s birthdays. Gradually, as epic SugarWorks incorporated unique handmade lollipops with video game and anime themes, we began selling our ‘edible art’ at anime and video game conventions. Now we have incorporated charms and jewelry into the mix, giving birth to epic CharmWorks, and bridging the two through epicWorks Creations!"

Faith
"I started creating bead sprite art back in May 2007 when I came across another artist’s work named Foglera on Flickr. It was then that I got the itch to combine my love of art with my love of videogames. I open my Etsy Store, Pixelated Creations, a couple of months later and I haven’t stopped created my bead art since. I always try to put a little bit of everything in my store for videogame fans, but if you don’t see what you want for sale, remember that you can email me at thegirlgamer.net@gmail.com for a custom request."

Shadowsinthenyte
"My Grandmother taught me to crochet when I was eight or so. I dropped it, and didn’t pick it back up until I was 22 and my husband needed a scarf to keep him warm at his outdoor job. Once I’d relearned, I didn’t want to loose it again, so I started making odds and ends including a hat that looked like a Moogle. When I decided to switch careers, my husband recommended making and selling hats on Etsy to keep me in gas money while I went back to school. We came up with a few designs and the floodgates just let loose; for every design I’ve made I’ve got three more that I think would look sweet. The longer I do it the more I learn about crocheting, materials, business, and people and I really feel I’ve grown as an artist because of that. Even if no one is buying, I don’t think I could stop. I’ve just got to see how the next design will turn out."
