Re: JAN/FEB Challenge - Portraits!
I am so in love with all the work here so far! 
Mine hasn't even been started yet, unfortunately house bills and food and the like come before my bead orders. And I started school again last week, 4 days of classes is a backbreaking schedule for me 
However, I can at least post a preview and maybe you guys will have fun guessing who I'm going to do.
I was playing a game on my desktop via DOSBox, and thought to myself, "How cool it would be to make patterns for the characters." Not to mention, great for portraits! I decided to screencap the images from the dossiers, and I stared at gridlines and resized sprites for almost four solid days. 4:1 scaled down to 1:1. My eyes may never be the same. 10 characters resized, and one patterned and color-matched so far. I present to you, via Broderbund Software back in 1985, the villainous cast of the original "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?" Top row from left: Carmen Sandiego, Merey LaRoc, Dazzle Annie Nonker, Lady Agatha Wayland, Len "Red" Bulk. Bottom row from left: Scar Graynolt, Nick Brunch, Fast Eddie B., Ihor Ihorovich, and Katherine "Boom-Boom" Drib.
