As many of you might know, I’m into a little hobby known as Bead Spriting. As some of you also know, I am a member at a quainte little corner of the Internet called The Beadsprites Forum, which is essentially a place for people like me, obsessed with both classic video games and kid’s crafts. Yeah, there are about 200 of us on there, believe it or not.
It’s a regular occurance for the members over at the BSF to show off their creations, as each one of us has our own dedicated post within which we post pictures of our work, but more recently, we’ve been getting a bit more competitive. I can’t say the Admins (myself being one of them) over there are rolling in the cash and offering prizes for placing submissions to our bi-weekly challenges, but there is a bit of extra motivation for members to participate since, in the spirit of PixelJoint’s challenges, we have a similar “winner makes next challenge” stipulation attached.
We may have just started the Bead Sprite Challenges, but I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of a beautiful string of custom bead sprites, crazy interpretations of gaming icons, and whatever else the future of insane nerd-craft holds. We are still in the midst of voting for our favorite submisson to “Challenge 01 – RPG Yourself!“, given by me to kick things off, but the responses are great. The members love it, and so do spammers – it seems we’ve been in excess of bot signups and porn ads in our topics, but myself and the other Admins are doing our best to clean things up.
Ten entries came in for “RPG Yourself!”, so I thought I’d share them with you. The challenge was to use an existing RPG character as a base to design your own. As a general rule, whoever gives the challenge is not allowed to participate, so I did not enter. I did, however, decided to RPG Myself for fun since I liked the idea well enough (it was my own after all), which you will find pictured above, at the beginning of this post.
Check for the official entries after the jump!
