Gutsdozer Topographic Bead Sprite

This is one of a few projects where rather than make the entire bead sprite one solid piece, I built it in sections. This has two advantages. First, there is no hassle ironing a ridiculously large number of beads at once. And second, using a 'topographic map' of sorts, I layer the pieces to add a three-dimensional illusion. As a flat sprite, it would look fine, but as carefully placed layers, it jumps out, and becomes more than a re-creation of the sprite. Gutsdozer contains over 16,000 beads between fifteen pieces on six layers.
