Look at the crap I made

OK so Fobby showed me this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Yx6kTPZQg&feature=response_watch and I was all like, I can do that! So he was all like, make me a Ness fgt, and I was all like, $80, and he was all like, k. So then I spent a week in my garage painting tiny blocks of wood individually, then gluing them together to make what's in the link below. So yeah... lookit!

Now give me praise!

Wow, that is really cool man. You did a great job!

Amazing.

My mother works at a paint store and my father has power tools...

I need to make one of these.

I heard someone made SSBB sprites, need link. Must. Make. Meta Knight.

I can get Falco to 16 colors with it looking decent. Ganondorf I can reduce to 9 colors with it looking fine.

The problem is they're pretty detailed sprites so you'd either need tiny ass blocks or make a huge sculpture.

Hence why I'll probably be making a Black Mage.

Best bet I think is to stay 8-bit.

=D Black Mage is my next project!

Also, I found the sprite sheet I'ma use for Meta Knight, the problem is choosing which one. I was thinking of using the 5th one on the top, or one with his wings spread.

I'm planning to use 1" by 1" blocks for mine, I'm gonna be doing price checks on materials tomorrow.

So my Black Mage will be 26" tall, just over 2 feet.

I wanna wall mount it

OK, narrowed it down to 2, which one do I make?



Or maybe I make both... but my brother wants a Yoshi... and Fobby wants a Lucas... and I need to make a Black Mage...

I reckon you'll end up paying around $20-$40 for materials, though the timber you're using is thicker than mine, I use 31mm x 18mm, it works out pretty well. Just make sure you post pictures, lots of them. I'm also interested to see how you get it wall mounted. Just be wary the if you only use 2 hooks you'll be putting a lot of stress on the joints between the row below the row you put the hooks in, I would recommend you use 2 or 3 on the bottom and the top rows; just to be safe. You do not want 3 hard days of work falling to the floor and breaking.

By far the most annoying part of this is the painting, especially if you just buy primary colours, I spent a whole fucking hour mixing the skin tones for Ness. A FUCKING HOUR.


God, I really need to stop double and triple posting.

That would be my doing :3


As for wall mounting it, I have no ideas how I'll be doing it, it's just a hope right now. I don't even have supply quotes.

As I said my mom works at a paint store so I'll probably have her mix paint for me. Problem is I think their smallest cans cover 25 square feet. If my math isn't horrible, I'll be covering about 3 square feet >_>

You won't even use half a tube of paint, let alone a full sample pot. Also, most of the custom mixed paints you get from paint stores and the like are house paint, i.e. thinner than acrylic, so you'll probably need to do double coats of paint. The alternative is just buying a tube of Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, White and Black; of course, in doing this, there is always one colour that refuses to be mixed, like cyan and the like.

Also, you get massive props for drawing that, you must get all the bitches.

I didn't draw the character XP

It's from a comic which name escapes me right now.


Also, I can get the sample pots for like 4 bucks through my mom so it's not too bad.

That is a rather good deal, over here they cost about $10, definitely not worth it, considering the timber only costs me around $15-$20 and I usually need more than just a couple colours. With something like a Black Mage though, you only need 2 colours. Just get a tube of black acrylic, it's cheaper and will go on better than house paint.

Also, remember to post pics, I like it when I get to see other people's work.
