Oh, I know. I’ve made from sprites before; the look you get on your face when you realize just how big a sprite is is not unknown to me.
 
Thanks for the suggestion!

I’ve never heard of that, maybe I should look it up.

Oh, oh! How about the Nidhogg guys and the giant worm?  

 
The game has been trending lately, I’m sure perlers of them would be in demand :P

^ Sprites are the best patterns I know of for perler beads.
 
You want to keep around or below the 100x100 range for mass-production, though. I made a Hamtaro very similar to this one before and although he’s completely adorable, he’s a little on the big side and he was a pain to keep from becoming a game of Perfection anytime my hand ever lightly tapped any of the pattern boards.
 
A lot of people like the mini pokemon sprites that appear when you pull up your team or look in your PC Box as perlers, those should be fairly easy to make in big amounts. C:

Seems to be up now. The NES library can probably give you some good ideas.

@Sono
 
Maybe.
 
 
@Corrderio
 
What site do you use?

Small overworld sprites from RPG series such as Final Fantasy maybe?
 
EDIT: I’d show you some examples, but my go-to sprite site is down ATM.

Made a Puppycat head and a Navi.

Hey, those look easy enough to make in mass.
 
Thanks.

Ponies?
 
Maybe you can even do something like the 8-bit ponies from that game.
 

I just finished Sailor Moon’s transformation pen, and I’ll make a slew of mini Sailor Mecuries. I’ll look into other SM characters, too.

So, I’m going to be attending a small, local con in February as a perler bead vendor (among other small knickknacks), and just like the lazy ass I am, I haven’t even started making my stock yet. Which is a problem. So, I need ideas, and I would prefer to not use patterns (unless the artist has stated that they don’t need credit), since it would kind of suck to profit off of someone else’s art.

Please note that I’m looking to make many perlers for my booth, and therefore cannot make huge works like this or this (Pokemon sprites are nightmares). It looks easy enough to do until you actually start laying out the beads. If I am to do one, however, I’d only do about one. I’m looking for small ideas.
 
So far, I have:
