About Me
Well, my name is Shauni Maple. I am 20yrs of age. AND I FUCKING LOVE GAMES.



I've been playing video games since the age of three, and to this day I am constantly playing games; I am a hardcore fan of RPGs and JRPGs. However I do like classic point-and-click games, like Grim Fandango, Curse of monkey Island. Diskworld is pretty neat too. I have played every Final Fantasy game, and beaten 1 through 10-2. ;3 (Some 100%). And my boyfriend has gotten me into rhythm games like, DDR, Elite Beat Agents, etc etc.

The consoles I've own/ed are:
-Sega Megadrive
-SNES
-Nintendo 64
-Playstation X
-Playstation 2 & PS2 Slim
-Gameboy colour
-Gameboy Advance
-Gameboy Advance SP
-Gameboy Micro
-DS
-DS Lite
-Xbox 360
-Playstation 3
-PSP
-(SOON TO BE) 3DS

... I think that is all of them. xD

My favourite Games are: Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts Series, Eternal Sonata, Tales of saga, Chrono Trigger, any Mario games, Phoenix Wright Series, Pokemon <3, Grim Fandango, Sims, Rockband/Guitar Hero, Grand Theft Auto, etc etc.

But yeah, living in the UK is fun, due to being able to do Games Design at Bolton University <3 Game releases can be awful over here though!

Aswell as loving video games, I love anime, manga, drawing and anything Japanese really. :P I also love my wonderful Boyfriend of 4yrs and 5months, who is doing Computer Software and Development at Bolton University.

Hello people of Destructoid.

So, a few weeks ago, I came across this really awesome style of game-art, and this art is created with Hama beads (Perler beads if you're American ;D). This art work is like real-life pixel art! Its awesome! People sell this awesome art too!
Although, there's nothing more satisfying than creating some awesome art by yourself. So I decided to buy a crazy amount of these beads and create my own art. Seems i'm pretty good at copying pixels with beads. :P

So, here are my favourite two that I've created so far. If you click on the names, you can even see a video of me making them! So you can make them yourself ;D

Prinny (Disgaea) "DOOD"

&


Mario

But yeah! Has anyone here heard of this kind of art before? Or has anyone here created something awesome already from these Hama/Perler beads?

I thought these were pretty cool, and wanted to share them with people that might appreciate it. :P

Thanks for reading.

Very nice!

Faith (here on Dtoid) used to showcase her work on blogs and she had a small business creating pixel works in beads. She made a LOT of stuff... from frames to jewelery to wall hangings, etc.
If you google faith and destructoid you can probably find her blog and have a look through her stuff for ideas!

It seems a pretty neat hobby and you definitely seem to have a talent for it!

Wow these are neat, I use to see these all the time when I was in middle school. Though they were never as well made as these. I always wanted to chew on them for some reason.

Wow, this is something I haven't seen in a long time! My best friend and I use to craft things when we were younger, although back then we didn't use the board. (Not even sure if they sold the board and beads together) And then when my kids were younger we'd make Christmas ornaments with them. Very nice job on both pieces!!

I used to play with those bead things back in 2nd grade during the after school daycare thing. Yours definitely blow anything I ever made out of the water. Super awesome.

A while back they tried having an artisans destructoid group for all videogame crafty stuff.
It's old but you can look at what some of the 'toid used to make.
