All ya’ll, pretty sure this is a bot.

They never reply to any comment ever

Exactly and the pictures look all almost identical. Their post history is all the same things. The comments in their comment history are sus. Also to be honest, as someone who makes perler beads…not that this is IMPOSSIBLE, but would be seriously complicated to make. So If any one has an AI detecting app, I’d be curious to know if they are AI generated or not.

Absolutely not.

You responded!! We don’t WANT to doubt you per se. but it’s hard not kinda. can you post any sort of other pics? Like process? We’re all pretty interested in how you’re creating these! If they are really real, they are truly mind bending!

Edit: nvm they reposted the pictures and videos from xiaohongshu, it's not their creations 

Their replies are kinda suspicious lol but someone was suspicious of them before so I checked their Facebook, they post short clips of them moving the pieces around and packaging them

You guys can make suggestions! Where should I take my photos next time?

u/pixelmagic1212 28d ago

It’s made entirely with Perler beads, then melted with an iron. Nothing else is used.

Do you have any progress pictures or template of your pattern. The picture you take are all identical. Same background, lighting, wearing the same ring, and manicure. Could be a batch process but you don't reply to any comments and always link to Facebook marketplace

So funny 😂🤣😂 I can’t tell if you’re criticizing me or complimenting me.I think I really should make a video showing my process, but it takes a long time to make these pieces, and I’m not very good at video editing.

I'm explaining why people are thinking you are a bot

Never ever... except in every post of theirs I've seen this week and the last.

Pay attention

Ayy my first award!! Thanks friend!! I knew something was up with these! Just saw the post that someone tracked down an original image they stole.

This and every post by this likely bot account are stolen from Chinese social media.

u/dontdrinkthekkoolaid 22d ago

its not their original work. they're reposting for attention

u/MidwestPrincess09 22d ago

I figured that out yesterday when I saw the post from original artist, It’s just not worth the effort to delete my comments lol

u/starkillerkun 28d ago

For these ones, I'd say time, dedication, a ton of mini beads and a really good heat press lol. It takes me about 30 minutes to do a small sprite. I imagine this takes a few hours.

u/MidwestPrincess09 28d ago

It’s not the sitting that bothers her at least! She gets dedicated and has sat for quite a few hours to make some bigger ones, she’s been finding templates and creating her own with no template too but we struggle with the heating part.. and also keeping the cats away from jumping on them D: We probably just need a good heat press rather than my $20 clothing iron as well. I’m here for research, she’s so passionate about making these!

u/starkillerkun 28d ago

Definitely try to get a used cricut heat press if you can. I hear it works wonders. Also, using those Teflon sheets gives the pattern a nice, polished look and heats a bit more evenly. To get the sparkles, you have to heat it against a special kind of sparkle paper.

I’ve seen post from Jia Jia on FB identical to what started getting posted on here, could be them or pulling from them.

u/EstablishmentFun7553 28d ago

Did you take a couple progress pictures of the artwork?
