so i got these wooden cubes, that are 1/2 inch in diameter and made a 3-d pixelated goomba. 1,440 blocks were needed for this piece. each glued together one by one and later painted with acrylic paint and clear coated with spray paint. 8 inches tall, 8 inches wide and 7 inches front to back from an overhead view. weighs almost 10 pounds as well. haha. this was about a month in the making since i would do this in the free time i had that wasnt painting.

i might tackle a koopa troopa down the road but i need to paint more before that. maybe a winter project.

thanks! it took quite some time and i had to use a hammer to smash some of the blocks that were in the wrong place but already glued (not a fun time). im proud of the final result though :)

it makes me squeal that you didn't cheap out and go the lego way, that'd make this so much easier. i want artists to SWEAT and BLEED and CRY over this shit!!! smashing success!

unfortunately birdo was a possible commission about a year ago so that wont happen unless its a commission. those blocks are perdy damn expensive and just materials alone would make birdo about $125. also im thinking about 60 hours of work would need to be put into him.
