After two years and 47,096 beads, my girlfriend and I finish this tribute to my favorite game of all time. (OC)
The Plan: Original Chrono Trigger screenshot (Left) and resultant conversion to Perler colors (right)
The work. Around an hour per panel. 7 x 8 panels total, 29x29 beads per panel.
The finished panels, all melted on one side (underside).
Close up of panels before melting together.
Panels melted together and mounted on foamcore, almost done!
Close up of fully melted project. Not perfect. Very tricky to work with, some panels melted easier than others.
Used a clothing iron for the melting, so hard to be consistent. Melting further started to cause warping that threatened the whole project.
Me, looking very proud. Final product was 44" x 39".
Special thanks to my girlfriend Nicole for helping me assemble all of the panels, probably close to 170 hours between the two of us. Thanks to Cody for writing me scripts that convert and count bead colors. Thanks to Scott for his expertise and physical labor in helping to mount the final melted panels.
