The limitations of my idiom, Perler fuse beads, sometimes makes proper representations of champions difficult. BEHOLD, Thresh!

Thresh

As you can see, I had to make some compromises to make him turn out acceptably, and I'm still not really happy with him. Given the limited palette, however, I'm not entirely unhappy.

In other news, here comes Vi! Again. After some reflection, I realized that the version of Vi I posted was... uh... terrible. So here's the newer iteration, which comes with added Not Sucking, all for free!

New Vi

Compare that to the old Vi, below...

Old Bad Vi

I think the improvements are very real and am quite pleased with the final result. I've had people ask me about my methods and how I got so good at pixel art (real answer: I'm not good at pixel art). A big part of it is just this; incremental improvements leading to a final product that shows what I want.

Thanks for the eyeballs, and here's a link to where I've posted all the work I've posted so far.

I see you gave Vi high heels. That's gonna make it hard to walk in the jungle.
