Some make game characters more realistic by “untooning” them, I do the opposite by “beading” them… Here’s a truncated repost of a few game characters I did way back using beads as a medium. Sort of pixel art you could say.

I might just have to steal Pixeloo’s idea though and try this out for myself as well, perhaps both “untooned” and “beaded” — call it an unofficial collaboration if you will :)
