Lord Voldemort versus Harry Potter

[Tomsche]

Mosaics... pixels... I just love the combination to build those things.

And what better sources are there for inspiration then crochet patterns or beads art?

So when I came along this one, the kid wanted to build the Lord Voldemort together with my help. I said okay, and I`ll provide the baseplate and bricks, while I would build the Harry part of the duo.

I started by drawing out the patterns on regular squares paper, so he could "count" the elements needed, then we proceeded building the mosaic with bricks for the build itself, and tiles for filling the background up.

Harry was made the same way by myself.

The spell effects had to be cut a bit short as the plate was only 32 instead of 35 wide, but they do still line up nicely with each other and are now ready to take to conventions.

And my co-creator proudly posing with the finished result...

Those are awesome mosaics, great work how long did they take to make?

[Tomsche]

On average, about 3 hours each not counting the drawing on paper or the searching for bricks

Drawing on paper? With enough work, it really doesn't seem like you'd need to use paper at all, but I guess I could be doing my outlines wrong too :/

If it helps, I suppose.

It was mostly done for the 10 year old, so he could better count the bricks, and could scratch off which he had already done (the bead art was only a small internet picture, not physical present).

This looks so cartoony, and in a good way! I like it.

Very nice work! You should do some more.

Looks like an old school 8-bit game screenshot. Awesome!
