Sworm

In Phantasy Star, the first enemy that Alis has to fight is the Sworm. These guys were pretty easy, but you had to beat up a lot of them to get anywhere at first. This was my first big Perler project. Even though it was a small enemy in the game, it still took four pegboards to build out of Perler beads...

Here is an animated .gif file that I used for pixel reference, as well as a screenshot from the game:

Beads Arrive!

When the beads finally arrived, I was ready to move onto some bigger projects with more colours...

The colours arrived in little 1000 bead bags, and the name of the colour did not appear on the bag. So the first challenge was to figure out which colour was which...

Since black runs out the quickest, I decided to get a 6000 bead bag...

I also had to get a couple of trays to hold the sorted beads while working with them...
