Phantasy Star 4 Heroes: Rune

Rune is a powerful magic user that joins your party in Phantasy Star 4. Here are his battle and explore poses in Perler beads:

Here is the sprite sheet that I used:

Rune keeps showing up in all the Phantasy Star stories, but under different names. This is most likely due to different translations of the game, and the fact that his character reappears every 1000 years to help the next generation defeat Dalk Falz. Notice that he appears as Noah is PS1 and as Lutz in PS2:

Here are the three PS4 heroes that I have completed so far together on the wall:

Phantasy Star 4 Heroes: Rika

Rika is the character that becomes Chaz's love interest by the end of the game. She is a numan, which is part human / part cat-like animal. Numans first appeared in Phantasy Star 2 with the introduction of Nei. Here are Rika's battle and explore poses in Perler beads:

Here is the sprite sheet I used:

Phantasy Star 4 Heroes: Chaz

I decided to work on some bigger projects next. I wanted to do a few of the main characters from Phantasy Star 4 in both their battle and explore poses. Since the main character was Chaz, I started with him. Here are both poses in Perler beads:

Here is the sprite sheet that I used Chaz:

R-Type

R-Type was one of my favourite side-scrolling arcade shooters from the 80s. In this game, your mission was to control a space ship (R-Type) and fight off the evil Bydo empire. As I remember it, the game was fairly difficult to defeat. Here is the ship with the basic "pea shooter" starting weapon:

Some screenshots from this very cool game:

Bomberman

Having the new colours was also important to completing a couple of smaller projects. Here is Bomberman and one of his bombs:

I always enjoyed the "anime chibi" look of Bomberman ^_^

Here is the Bomberman sprite sheet that I used for reference:
