Luz and Owls
A few months ago I had the pleasure of starting at DisneyTVA as Lead Background Designer on their upcoming show, The Owl House! It’s a wonderful show with a delightful (and amazingly skilled) crew and I’m super excited to be part of it!
(I drew this before I knew anything about the show beyond the initial promo poster, so there’s no spoilers or hints here!)

More pixel coaches (and how I make them!)
From left to right: Niki (Soy Yo), Moxie (Hollaback Girl), Maps, Fun, and Talk Extreme
I wasn’t going to stop after 100! People have been big fans of these little things and wanted to know how I make them. So I took pictures of the process of creating them. (The full process is under this cut.)
I use Perler beads to make these coaches. They can be found in just about any craft store, or on the official website. I use a large square 29x29 pegboard, although occasionally I connect smaller 17x17 pegboards if the design needs more space, like what I did here with Moxie.
Every design starts out with this simple base right here:
Then I figure out who I want to make and look up references. I choose the color palette from the images and pull out some colors that I might use. Sometimes these can change.
Next, I change the outline of the base, adding and removing beads to shape it into a new figure. Once that’s done, I begin to add color, beginning with the outfit. I outline certain parts that will be filled in with color. Sometimes I look back at previous coaches for help— for example, I looked at Troublemaker for help for the beanie.
Once the colors are all set, I do one last look-through and change aspects that I feel need changing. For example, I decided to change Talk Extreme’s hair color, since I believed that there was another color that looked more like the original. The way my storage system works lets me take color samples directly off the storage drawers (they’re held there with the power of Velcro) and compare them to the design in front of me. I recommend making a color key for your perler beads, it’s very useful!
(A brief note: it's important to be aware of what your hands and/or sleeves are doing around the board. Accidents can happen, such as when I dropped my phone onto the pegboard and messed up a 90% done Maps…)
Once the design is finalized, it's time to fuse the beads. I use parchment paper and a basic clothes iron on a normal, non-steam heat setting. It's important to iron in slow circles so that every bead gets melted properly. Certain colors also melt more quickly than others. Once the design starts to show through the paper and the beads' holes become small, it's time to peel the design off the paper and flip it over in order to iron the other side. The back side doesn't need as much time as the front, since the beads are already hot. Depending on the size and complexity of the design, ironing can take 2-5 minutes.
When that side is done, I peel it off, and congratulations, it's done! It's pretty hot, though, so I set it down to cool. Once the plastic has cooled down to a reasonable temperature, it's ready to display.
And that's how it's done! The full process can take from 20 mins to almost an hour. I might make digital versions of some of the coaches to use as references for people to make them at home. Who would you want the pattern for the most?
I'll be saving these all under the tag #pixel coaches, so if you want to see who I've already made, check that tag out!

From left to right: Mashed Potato Time, Mashed Que Nada, Birthday, Diamonds, I’m So Excited
This was a fun batch to make, even though it was difficult. Not too happy about Diamonds’ hair color, but that’s the best I could do. Birthday’s headband killed me. I made MPT slightly taller in order to fit more colors, and I like that. It suits her.
Also I had the iron on too high of a setting. You can’t see it, but the backs of these ones are very melted and warped. Guess I know for next time!

Me as a kid: They're both fighting over the same boy.
Me as an adult: They're both sapphic and they secretly want each other.

so uh... this is the actual reason I made a tumblr. Ever since December, the autism has been autism-ing, and I've been creating pixel versions of Just Dance coaches. I'm up to 100 now, so... ye?

I am SO glad that in jd2024 story mode they went for a cover instead of a original just dancers song because it would probably go like:
"Look at us, we're evil now 😈😈
Evil peanut butter jelly time"
