I made some pokemon beadsprites! (pics)

Sure thing, Nyatalie! to get that look, I use what's called the making tape method. There are several youtube videos that demonstrate it. Basically, you apply making tape to your sprite while it's on the peg board, poke holes for all the beads, then flip it over and iron the non taped side. Once you get a preliminary seal on the beads, you can put some shoulder into it and kind of lightly squash the beads to get the flat look. It's really important to poke the holes in the masking tape, because if you don't, you'll get air pockets trapped in your beads and they won't close up. This method is great for bigger sprites, because there's so much heat for a longer period of time, and the plastic pegboards will warp if you iron on them for a while.
Good luck with your beadspriting! It's a great hobby :D
