Description
My first relatively complex 3D bead Sprite, based on everyone's favorite 80's cartoon robot made of lions, Voltron! This is approximately the same size as the original toy released during the airing of the cartoon.Related content

I have been checking out these pieces for over a year through google, and I can't believe I never saw them on dA here. I would super-favorite if I could.

Very very nice work. : O YOU SIR, HAVE INSPIRED ME. Mind if I use this idea of yours, and uh, attempted to make one of these?

Go for it. If I owned the rights to Voltron, it would be a different story...but lo, I do not.

Well, Voltron was one of the best 80's cartoons ever - I had a great subject to work with.

But then who would defend the Universe?

Well, they might cost you about the same, haha. I haven't figured a price yet, but im bringing it to an art show this weekend so I'll see what kind of reactions I get.

That's simply breath taking! How'd you do that?!
I also had one of these lol

I was one of the less privileged kids that never got to own the original Voltron. On top of that, the only friend of mine that had his wouldn't let anyone else play with him - what a prick!
I made this much like my 3D Gameboy and the Mini Consoles in my gallery, with many interlocking pieces. Think like those Puzz 3-D foam puzzles of famous landmarks and such. The only difference is the pieces are comprised of beads. It took a lot of careful planning, but after doing a bunch of other pieces in this style, it was a bit easier.

Err, meaning that rather than the piece being a square, it's somewhat like a puzzle piece? Or uh, a square with growths on its sides.

Thanks bro. Wish I coulda shown it to the BeadSprites Forum first, but I have no idea how to fix it. I think it's a server or host issue...maybe even an error in the actual php for the site, so I can't access that from the Admin panel.

Hopefully most of us watch you here or your blog to keep intouch with you works

I wish more members had deviantART accounts so we could keep track of everyone when the BSF goes down, which seems to be happening a lot lately.

I would see if you could send a mass pm to everyone and let them know to come here or wherever else.

That's an idea. Unfortunately, I'm up to my ass in beads and foamcore preparing for 32-Bit Genocide this weekend...

It's all good. I know that 32-Bit is much more important. I hope everything goes good for you this weekend ! ! !

Thanks. I'm really proud of this one.

I just can't figure out how you do that. That's so awesome!

It's a long process, but the concept is simple - those Puzz 3-D foam puzzles of famous buildings, that's how the pieces interlock, only they're made of fuse beads, not foam.
