Artist's Comments

Here are some portrait sprites from Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the NES recreated using perler beads...

Four colors to be exact, which I have run out of peach... oh well...

These are the leaders of the Three Kingdoms:

Top - Cao Cao
Left - Sun Quan
Right - Lui Bei

I played this game multiple numerous times and am finally glad I am bringing one of my favorites to life... I actually made four portraits, but the one not pictured Zhang Fei (my favorite) I made first before realizing that it would be best fitting if I made the three kingdoms masters instead, so once I make two more, prepare for another one of these type deviations... ^^

Excellant choice!

Wasn't there a guy who looked EXACTLY like Lo-Pan in that game? I mean, he was portrayed by James Hong from Big Trouble in Little China.

I'm not sure about EXACTLY like Lo-Pan, but there are numerous chinese guys with fu-manchus... so probably...

"What the Hell" indeed...

Thanks, I'm not sure if you ever played the game (assuming so by your comment), but when I was little and Final Fantasy got old, repetitive, and tedius, the first Romance was there to take me in and think differently...

It's truly this games fault why I'm such a sucker for strategy games...

I remember the name but never seen it.
How much did it cost for the amount of beads to make these?

Each portrait is 50x50, so 2500 beads each...

I buy beads for $1.75 per 1000, so $4.38... plus shipping...

Is he a fan of ROTK? that's awesome if he is... more people need to appreciate these phenomenal strategy games...

and I agree, these are really detailed for only being four colors...

Yes, he is indeed~ Although, when he explains some of the scenes that go on, I get cross-eyed from the many different names.

Yes very much so~ Awesome work!
