Giant perler bead screenshot of Castlevania takes a lot of patience

Sprite Stitch forum member Akegata has a lot of passion and a lot of free time. After three months of work, they’ve managed to create what you see above. A giant screenshot of Castlevania made entirely of perler beads. Perler beads are special beads that melt together when heated. Each pixel in the screenshot is one bead. The standard resolution of a NES display is 256 by 240 pixels. That means this picture is made of over 61,000 individually placed beads. Now that’s dedication. To give you an idea of how big it is, that little gray thing off to the side is a NES game box. You can see a higher resolution picture by following the Sprite Stitch link below.
